Yesterday steps were 3008
Today is currently 10245
So today was a great running around with my two youngest kiddos. I ate way too much but had fun. Also I learned just like I stay away from gluten I need to stay away from sugar. It may make things taste good but after being without anything sweet for a week it really made me feel yucky.
Lord willing I can get over my self induced need for sugar.3 -

Monday check-in
Calories - under. (I made this minus the breadcrumbs and celery as hubby is intolerant for dinner, and an extra portion for lunch. The egg went in the rice instead. Thumbs up from the hubby!)
Water - on track. I'm getting thirstier!
Exercise - 10 mis HIIT plus 13759 steps
I noticed today I have a fat island - rather than a seemless mound starting at the belly spreading out to the hips, I have encroached the belly fat in a little muscle moat. I might draw some palm trees on it later, I'm so pleased.

So I lost that 1lb... again...
*So, here's the thing. My Fitbit has always told me I burn the candle at both ends and struggle to get all my Zs, but over the past few nights as I've been trying a bit harder to get them, I've been waking up with inexplicable heartburn and sometimes my heart has been racing, like I've just been running for the bus. I normally sleep on my side, so I can help this a bit, but it's clear my lifestyle changes need to be ramped up to have the desired positive health effects, or this might turn into a problem. Hence, I just have to stop drinking, not because I'm addicted, but I can't afford any impediments to my sleep quality and weight loss now.
Thank you all, Mission Slimpossibles for being there for me. I know that with a bit more focus, I can do this!
I think your journey of being open to trying different things and changing your habits has been inspiring! I hope this helps you feel much better!2 -

Hi everyone - I’m back from my busy family weekend. We had a great time and kept very busy! I made some good food choices overall - had a couple of desserts but nothing crazy. Really pleased about everything.4

Appalachian Trail Mission Slimpossibles Thru Hike Step Challenge
Distance so far: 1300 miles
We have passed some major milestones since our last update! Mission Slimpossibles has put in over 2.6 million steps during this challenge to date! Way to go!!!
The first major feature we passed was McAfee Knob, the iconic rock precipice in Virginia that is probably the second most snapped shot on the AT. This ledge is one of the most visited spots along the AT and some of you may have seen some pics like this. I’ve been to McAfee, and it is an amazing experience to stand on that spot.
What a great place to do some morning yoga, like this woman!
Since Virginia is home to so many miles of the AT, it also is home to another famous stretch of trail—Shenandoah National Park. The trail runs right alongside Skyline Drive for 100 miles through the center of this park. Here you can find another large population of black bear and it is likely to see one any time you visit SNP.
Also, this part of the trail is relatively flat, so it’s a great place to do some night hiking, especially during the heat of the summer, which is when most thru hikers reach Shenandoah. There’s nothing quite like the open expanses of a national park far-removed from the light pollution we have become so accustomed to in our more urban lives.
Once we pass through Virginia, we enter West Virginia for a few miles and the home of the Appalachian Trial Conservancy offices at Harpers Ferry, WV. From there, it is just steps to cross the Potomac River into Maryland.
Roughly 70 miles after we enter Maryland, we pass the half way point of our hike.
By the 1300 mile mark, we have left Maryland behind us and are well into Pennsylvania, leaving a total of 6 of the 14 states in our stepping wake! More on Pennsylvania next time!

I've been having so much fun with my family I'm not going to complain about eating terrible.
My exercise has been good. I've been going to the gym as much as I can.
Another bonus is my coffee maker has stopped working. How is that a bonus I get to drink water which is my second favorite beverage. I do have other ways to make coffee, kuerig, coffee funnel, French press and making it cowboy style.
Bless you all.6 -

Yes, I noticed lots of steps for @Jactop - still 6K ahead of me!
Tuesday check in
Calories: nicely under!
Water: on track
Exercise: 15 minute HIIT plus 15711 steps
Did a 10 minute HIIT today for tomorrow's check-in, but didn't feel rested enough from sleep when I did it, and felt like I couldn't quite manage the same energy in jumps as usual - only when I got back upstairs to get dressed did I realise, I never put my training shoes on. I'd done it all barefoot!
Feel better after some protein chocolate overnight oats, with pear, date, linseed and hazelnut - yummy!2
