    Calories have been all over the place. I cannot seem to get it under control at the time. It's hard to have a family meal when I have to eat by meal prep to keep from overeating. However if that is what it takes then that is what it takes. I'll sit and stare while they eat. Mwahahaha.
    And of course coffee intake could be better. Then again it could always be better, IT'S COFFEE!!!
    Have i said I like coffee?
    Good night all, remember be blessed or be a blessing.

    Hey everyone - I just want to say that this month has been so great. I see the posts from so many of us about life being busy and apologies for not posting a check in or fewer comments. Please don’t ever feel bad - this is a journey we are all on. Some days and weeks we will have more time and motivation to be posting and sharing and other times our busy lives outside of MFP need to be the focus. And that is totally okay. I just want to thank everyone for whatever time and effort you are giving to inspire and help all of us - no matter how much that it is!! Have a great weekend!!

    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercise: I did 30 minutes on the treadmill.

    This week has been so crazy at work and I have a huge list of things still to get done tomorrow. As a church ministry assistant, there is no busier time than a month before Easter. :D I told my pastor/boss that I need a raise. o:) I'm still loving my new intermittent lifestyle and learning as much as I can whenever I have a free moment. Scale was down some more this morning! B)

    3/14 steps-5316

    I’m so happy for you Teresa!

    Hey group!

    Sorry I've been MIA... I got nasty stomach flu over the weekend and it's taken a while to come back. Today is the first day that I've felt close to, if not completely, 100%.

    I show a gain for the week, which is a little weird, but I don't think fluid retention and all that stuff is completely worked out yet. That, plus what I have been eating is heavy on the carb macros... banana, rice, bread, etc. Not my usual protein and fat routine.

    Onward and upward!

    I hope you are feeling better!!

    Appalachian Trail Mission Slimpossibles Thru Hike Step Challenge

    Distance 1.4 million steps = 700 miles on the AT

    Wow, what great steppers we are! We have logged 1.4 million steps in less than two weeks which puts us well into northeast Tennessee. The crown jewel of this stretch of trail in Tennessee is the section that crosses over Roan Mountain, in a series of balds including Jane Bald, Round Bald, Little Hump Mountain and Big Hump Mountain. We walked past or maybe spent the night in one of the most famous shelters on the AT, the Overmountain Shelter, which is a huge red barn that can hold lots and lots of hikers.

    At mile 465, we leave our third state behind us and cross the state line into Virginia. Virginia makes up one quarter of the mileage of the entire AT, with right at 500 miles lying within the state borders. We walk into and literally through the most famous city on the trail, Damascus, Virginia, where the white blazes run down main street. This self-described “Trail Town, USA” welcomes both hikers and bike riders who take advantage of the Virginia Creeper trail, a converted Rails to Trail Conservancy project in which old, abandoned railroads have been converted to hiking and biking trails. The AT and the Creeper Trail share several miles of this wide, gravel, well-maintained trail.

    If you don’t hike, but like to ride bikes, the Creeper Trail makes for a wonderful day of family vacation, too. Shuttle drivers take bikers 16 miles north of town and you ride back down to Damascus, yes, DOWN because it is all downhill from where the shuttle driver drops you off—doable for anybody who ever learned and still remembers how to ride a bike!

    The final treat along our trail this go round is the Grayson Highlands, another series of high balds, but this one is unique because…PONIES! Grayson Highland balds are maintained as balds by the grazing of semi-wild ponies. You’ll love this section!

    Exercise challenge—Rucking—lots of benefits for weight loss and requires almost no gear! Have a school-type backpack or book bag laying around? Fill it with some water bottles or canned foods and get outside as the weather warms in your area. Rucking burns more calories than walking alone, and it can be done in the gym or on a treadmill, too.
