May is almost over. This program is a self-reporting accountability group. You know where you stand today. Who is on track to cross the May finish line with no more than 3 Pass days and having met the group goals of tracking; consuming below your calorie limit and intentional daily exercise of 20 or more minutes. You can answer below or just send me a private message.
All who qualify will receive the love and adulation of the whole team and be listed as members of the May Winner's Circle!!
Unfortunately, there are no cash prizes! Just a heart warming round of applause!!

For those of us who live in the United States, it is important to remember the real reason we celebrate Memorial Day.4 -
So after work today a group of us went to support a fundraising quiz night for some local boys rugby team so no cycling today. Instead I did my 20 minutes on the rowing machine this morning and went for a run at lunchtime. My usual lunchtime circuit is 4.3km but a couple of people have been doing a longer one so I decided to give that one a go which came out at 6.9km. I only ran that far for the first time 8 days ago and have only done it once since then so quite pleased I finished especially as I turned my ankle about 5k in. Unfortunately I think that means no running for the next few days as it's quite swollen although very little pain. It's also the foot that I injured over 2 years ago and the front top of my foot still has a tendency to swell, so, as one of my colleagues described it, I have serious foot muffin top too!
Tracking was good today and calories well under.
By the way we came joint 4th in the quiz so not too bad.5 -

Hubby is cranky today. I used an outlet that is normally buried behind a bed and everything on that line doesn't work. What can I say when I move furniture to vacuum I move it all and clean all. I know he is thinking what a crappy job the guy did as this is the issue we had before. I don't know what to tell him the other electrical guy in town I don't like. What can I say I am closing out May with a bang.1

Weigh in day today and I am down 1.2 lbs! WOOHOO YAY ME! I AM DOING THIS
Has been a slow month for weight loss but every week without a gain is a WIN! My total loss is 23 lbs now. Getting close to the 25 Lb mark. 
Would love to see this before my surgery date on June 15th!
Sorry for the fast check-ins last week. I had a lot on my plate, feeling a bit stressed trying to figure out how we are going to work out both our surgeries. Bud had his pre-op(his surgery is June 8th) last Thursday and he is not allowed to drive for 2 weeks and not allowed to lift anything heavier than a cup of water for 3 weeks. I guess you could say reality set in....lol. Anyway between our good friends and family I think I have it figured out, not going to make any final decisions till I have my pre-op on Wednesday but I am no longer so worried about it. We had a family meeting yesterday
Last week was an even bigger win for me as I usually stress binge eat. I caught myself going to do that a couple of times and STOPPED myself!
@aeshippers YOU ARE AMAZING! What an inspiration to us!
@craigo Thank you for all the positive feedback you give, I am so glad you are part of our group!
@misscola I am glad you are feeling more confident as I TRULY believe that our attitude is a big part of our weight loss! Soundslike you may have gotten that scale..lol
@2020pinktogo Your family is lucky to have you! Please make sure you are looking after yourself while helping others! YOU ARE WORTH IT!
@RangerRickL Thank you for everything you do and for creating this group! You are great at inspiring me to do better! I do believe I am still on track to be in the winners circle, I have only used 2 pass days while on holiday and believe I checked in each day! I am challenging myself to be there!
Wishing everyone a GREAT week! So thankful for each and EVERY ONE of you! 3 -
Kudos to you @pribud, for both the weight loss and stopping your patterns! Great to read that.
Have been having lots of fun with friends this weekend and time for good workouts. As I am in the US, as Rick said, today is important day to remember our fallen soldiers.
I will make the winners circle this month. No pass days yet.... and that (reminder to self) is no excuse for me to slack off the next few days.4 -
Hang in there?! Too late.
Roll on June for a fresh start. 
I'll try and see May out well too.
Well done everyone! 4 -
Congratulations @pribud, not stress eating is hard. It's still my biggest problem area and although I too have been winning that one lately I am very aware that it's an area I need to keep working on.
@phoebelayla - great work having no pass days this month, that's awesome!
By the way ankle is not too bad today so am cycling
although will be staying away from running for a day or 2. 3 -

13,506 steps today( one hour walk, housework, and 45 mins of kindermusic with my granddaughter). Tracking and within calories. Finishing May on a high note.7

Yes yes, yes. Aerodyne bike for 20 minutes as usual.
Oh, and I do not win for May, as I took 4 pass days. But I am still delighted with the progress.6 -
Did not think I was going to make it through today but wanted to post a win x 3 so I stayed on track!!
Thanks everyone for helping keep me accountable5 -
@aeshippers - glad to hear that you are thinking that your ankle isn't too bad.
@karenleona - well done!
Yes x 3
Spin x 30 min and weight training for 60 min. Went hard!
Let's finish this month strong!!!3 -
track yes
budget yes
exercise ... not really
Seems like I could come up with something that counts as 20 min but not really. But I did have good diet.1 -

@bocasdelbobdog I applaud the honesty.
This is what I love about the UAC group. Missing something (and saying so) is not seen as a fault. It's life. We acknowledge and keep going. Being honest with oneself and others is MUCH more important than almost any other personal trait.
We all get days where you could not be "arsed". It's OK now and then.
Just look for a way to get the usual activity tomorrow. Don't try do more. Forgive yesterday and just get back on track.
