    Exercise: Nothing today.

    Uggghhh things have been so busy!! There are so many last minute things to do at work so we can be ready for our Easter weekend and I'm teaching children's church Easter morning and have so much to do with that as well. On top of that, I've decided to reorganize a room in my house, which has had me running all over town looking for a new chair and ottoman and getting rid of a bunch of stuff. It's looking nice! :)

    Steps:

    It seems I've been living the yoyo diet for a long time. Sorry team.

    No apologies are ever necessary here. What can we do to help you cut that yo-yo string?
    Start today as if nothing happened except realize what choices you can make differently in the future. Today is a new day. Fresh starts are always possible!

    Any clue on how to break carb addiction?

    I went cold turkey, and am now fully low carb. The first week or so was hard, but ater that it does get easier. I now do full keto as it suits me well, but you have to find what works for you. I think as you consume lower levels of carbs, espiallyu if you cut out sugar, yuo will have fewer cravings for them after you get past the intial shock when your bidy just seems to call oput for them.

    As @UTMom81 said, a no junk food challange may help

    Week 3 check in
    Username:embersdream
    Weigh in day : Monday
    Week 1 : 205
    Week 2: 201.2
    Weeek 3: 199.8

    Not so shabby :)
    My goal is 172 and then see if I can do more.
    I have found though my week has been a bit off.
    Was birthday week and had a few days of total goody indulgence and a few cocktails and now feel a bit yuck. Although there’s a small scale victory my tummy is super bloated at the moment. So hoping to really focus this week. Try to get to the gym 3 times this week ( it’s school holidays and have my kids all week plus uni)

    Yayyyy!!!! Into the One hundredns, and onederland!!!!! Way to go!!!!!

    Thanks everyone for keeping the awesome conversation going! I’m back from my weekend at home and just need a day to rest and get my life organized again.

    @jactop - do you need some steps from me?

    Food - on point
    Exercise - planned rest and recovery day
    I thought I might’ve feeling the ropes course today, but it wasn’t bad. I spent the entire day “working”. Tomorrow is a “no work” day and planned run/lift.

    Appalachian Trail Mission Slimpossibles Thru Hike Step Challenge

    We DID it!

    Distance Covered: 2190 miles

    1js42rqun2z7.jpg

    After travelling 2190 miles on foot, we take our final steps through Baxter State Park, in Maine, to the summit of Mt. Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. After spending the night at the campground at the base of the mountain we have spent (on average) 5 months striving for, we leave camp early to be able to make the climb of the final 5.2 miles and then return to camp by nightfall.

    We pass a beautiful waterfall 1.1 miles from the campground, quickly hike up the trail to above the treeline and then have to do tons of rock scrambling.

    The views are incredible the majority of the way up, and the rock scrambling is very fun. We gain over 4000 feet during those 5 miles…

    ... to reach the most iconic symbol in the hiking world—the sign that marks the finish of our thru hike. Here "we" are!

    Thank you for stepping along with me on our virtual thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. I must share with you one of the best "finish" photos I've ever seen. This was posted by Krystian "Snap" Repolona (hikes.camera.adventure) on Instagram after his finish in October 2016. Enjoy!

    Keto works for me as well. The problem I run into is I can actually go sugar free for up to two weeks. I'll have no cravings or anything. And then a trigger hits and BAM I eat a whole box of cookies. My body tells me that it's hurting me and I need to never eat sugar again but the sweet tooth is not easily yanked.
    I do thank you for your advice.

    @Wishusdonna - Looking forward to tomorrow (assuming you get batteries) to find out, but it sounds like you balanced out your over day pretty decently. Your steps were fabulous, for sure!
    Alas no - bus was late, couldn't get to the shop. Will try tonight.

    Checking in for Monday:

    Calories: over - I polished off some wine from Saturday's party while watching the Silence, wouldn't have took me over, but extra hungry today so I hit the fruit snacks too. I feel this is the week I'm just gonna have to burn, burn, burn...
    Water: on track
    Exercise: nothing special, just 14163 steps.
