You are almost there! Hang in there for just a bit and you will be in the Winner's Circle for August, 20172 -
August 30
Exercised?: Yes. Walked 5 Km in 37.5 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Very early walk today, was still dark then I started (after a late night working too). Good pace today, as fast as yesterday.
Was a little alarmed when I weighed in this morning. Too low by too much. I have increased my daily calorie budget again (before having breakfast).
Worked in the city today, but my car has a flat tyre, so I got a lift to the train station. When I got back to the station after the day, it was such a nice day I walked home from the station (3.6km, 30 mins, 200m elevation gain).
btw, The gold bunny is no more (and thoroughly enjoyed
). 8 -

@Marthall - Sorry you had a stressful day yesterday, Hope the walk on the beach helped clear your head.

UAC family thank you for celebrating with me!
@pribud yay to reaching your success
@SimonsChange double yay, first to reaching your dreams and second to sticking with us for longer!
@bocasdelbobdog well done on your bet!
@craigo3154 I'm pleased the bunny went. Good luck to finding your balance with maintenance
@everyone keep on keeping on!
I thought today would be a pass day but mfp is giving it as a spurious yes. I'll still take the pass cos there was lots of eating/drinking out involved so I'm unsure of the accuracy of the calories as I used the closest I could find.
Exercise:yes, lots of walking.
Tracking: tired my best.
Calories: mfp says yes. I say no way! Pizza, Belgian beer, wine, and Belgian waffle with chocolate were all consumed although in small quantities. I'm better at sharing these days! The chocolate was out of this world! Thanks to @RangerRickL for the morning's goal gap reminder.

Wow I missed logging in yesterday and so much happened with everyone!!
@am_change I an impressed with restrain to eat that "good" stuff in small quantities. No wonder you made the circle this month.
@LoraineGB I love your daily grateful list. That is discipline to be positively focused.
@bocasdelbadbob glad you won't disappoint your wife!!
Great job to @pribud and @SimonsChange .
@craigo3154 sometimes I have some real scale "surprises" both ways on maintenance that don't make sense. I hold off on too many calorie adjustments because I find the scale is not "logical".
Still on target with calories and exercise and tracking8 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Not too much today did more paperwork walked around small bit and light bodyweight training
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
(138.75/ 140) Mile Goal
So far so good6 -
yes x3
45Mins Strength training and 45 minutes brisk walking (Bonus snack of blackberry's picked from the hedgerow half way round)
Tracking is a yes, but I am noticing that traacking has been tricky recently. lots of home cooked and buffet type food prepared by my wife (I'm not complaining).
Thanks @trixsey16 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? No..don't feel good, so took a complete rest day.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes7 -
Hi everyone. I am back to a semi-routine today. My Aunt's service went well, though it was naturally largely an emotional dump for us all. I didn't get the exercise that I wanted or needed today, but I did track everything and stayed within my caloric goal. Nearly everything I ate was quality nutrient-dense foods. A good day by most standards. Looking forward to September!

Ok I've come this far and I'm determined to complete the month tomorrow. It'll be a long, busy day but I already packed a lunch. Fingers crossed for me and all the UAC people!6 -
Exercise? Yes; an hour walk
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes
I'm rooting for all of you nearing the winner's circle! One more day - You can do it!!6 -
@pribud, wow! 30+ lbs, I can't believe I missed that yesterday.
@pcotter54, It's one day, you can do it!
@fitastic2day, it's clear you're taking good care of ourself. See you in Sept.
@SimonsChange, glad you'll be with us a bit more.
@RangerRickL , thanks for leading our group.
@everyone, good luck, one more day!
Yes x 3 today, I've had three pass days, so just need to get through tomorrow. I did deads and overheads, and walked dog today.
I'm strong, and lifting more, but haven't lost an ounce this month
. I'm within three pounds of my goal weight, and these last lbs are so frickin' hard to lose. I realize I have to cut my calories next month, which I dread, but I'm obviously eating at maintenance. My diet is wholesome, except the wine and beer, so that's what needs to go 
. My plan is for a dry September. Then back at it for the holidays

Exercised yes

Made it to the final strech. Only one more day and I have 2 passes left. Tempting but I won't use it. Going on a weekend trip to St Louis to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Quiet sure will be a celebratory dinner, with good wine. Not keeping track. Will have to take my first pass early but that's okay.
I've lost 8.8 lbs this month. It's been a long time since I've lost that much in a month. I'm sure it's the consistent exercise that's boosting my metabolism. I move into next month with this past months experience, lighter and feeling great.
Congrats to all those in the winners circle. Thank all of you for being here on the August UAC. Enjoyed your stories, insights, and encouragement very much.5 -

My friend has arrived from England. I'm excited to hang out with her for a few weeks.2 -

I had my 3rd pass day today as planned. Very trying times in our family right now. My boys lost a friend while playing a sport they both love. Imagine during a charity slow pitch tournament that my youngest son Scott(34) was hosting there was a freak accident with a young 32 year old getting hit in the back of the head on a play to 1st base. Resulting in an immediate rush to the hospital where he was air vacced to Victoria BC for emergency brain surgery that he did not survive. The ball teams and our community are in shock. For the last week he has been kept on life support, they took him off this morning and he passed leaving behind his loving wife and beautiful 1 year old daughter. My heart goes out to them. We are having a family dinner tomorrow night just so we can all be together. Right now I hurt for everyone.............sorry for going on........but thanks for listening.....talk about needing to take the time to appreciate the people we love in our lives............very sad
