@RangerRickL. and all UAC members.
I created a thread in the "Challenges" board to try attract more members for Novemeber. The thread is: November Ultimate Accountability Challenge (UAC)
(http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10610080/november-ultimate-accountability-challenge-uac#latest)
Please add your own story on how UAC has helped you to this public thread.
The "Challenges" board moves very quickly near the end of the month and unless this thread is updated daily, it drops off the first page and people never find us.
This month has had a very a small membership. Wish you all to return, but it would be nice to also get some new faces.
If you believe as I do, that this is the best challenge group on MFP, then I urge you to help support Rick and I in trying to get new members. I want to see this challenge grow more in November.

I had to laugh when I saw your message Craig because I was close.
So at work there are a lot of changes and moving and flipping of dept. going on. We have our main office and then we have our branch that's 20 minutes down the road and we are starting another office if there is no traffic 45 minutes away. Bottom line there is a lot of people moving around trying to get themselves into positions so they don't have to travel to the new location. I am a person that is a quiet thinker. I placed the seed I would like to help with reception a week ago. This way I would always have a set schedule. It would take me out of drive thru where the car exhaust fumes make me sick if it's a busy day. The receptionist/teller person gets pulled out of rotation. They go once a quarter instead of the once a month. Yesterday they asked me if I was really interested in the position.
I am literally planning ahead can I do this position for the next 20 years. YEP!!!!
Yes x3 for yesterday I really enjoy the elliptical at lunch.4 -

Late walk again today (busy work day). Moderate pace.

@tinacuso. Good to see you are staying in despite pass 4.
@2020pinktogo. Sorry for slipping in ahead of you today.
Hope you get the receptionist/teller position at your preferred branch.

Agh just wrote a post and it disappeared. Haven't had that glitch in ages!
@2020pinktogo good luck with the new role. Fingers crossed.
@craigo3154 another consistent day. Well done!
@RangerRickL great timing with your post. It's Pumpkin Week at a local farm. I'm going this afternoon with my daughter, niece and nephew. You go on a tractor ride and then pick a pumpkin from the field.
I loved reading all your NSVs (a bit late). I wasn't sure if I'd had one this month. Then, I was in the kitchen with my daughter. She pointed at the fruit bowl and requested "apple" and then a "nana" (banana) and ate them for a snack saying "mmm yum yum". I don't have any junk food in the house for her to snack on. So my NSV is that my daughter is growing up enjoying fruit and veg.5 -
@craigo3154,
Thank you so much for your post. It is incredibly helpful, and gives me valuable information as I continue on my journey.
I appreciate the link, too! Cheers!1 -

Tracked?: Yes.
Been quite active all day today.
Started my day off with a jog (35min), then got my bike out and went for a hour's ride down the trails, fast pace, plenty of hills (slowing for doggies and their humans of course).
While dinner was cooking (jacket potato) cleaned my bike down as both it and me came back very muddy, ate, then took the woofies for a walk - again quite muddy, so glad I decided not to have a bath until now!
So both me and woofies all clean and ready for a relaxing evening - fingers crossed.

Yes x 3 for today. Well as I can tell there are 3 of us going for the position. I am the youngest LOL so I am guessing they had the same thoughts as me. We are all deciding who is going to be the unlucky person who has to go to the branch next week. I really hope it's not me.1

I’m out of the winners circle for October.
I have been doing UAC for 3 months now. When I joined I thought to myself that I track and monitor what I eat daily so it should be an achievable goal to reach the winners circle.
However, 3 months in, I realise I’ve not quite got this tracking everything I eat quite nailed down yet. Maybe November will be my month, maybe it won’t. What I do appreciate, is having UAC and everyone on here for accountability and motivation.3 -

Oops, I messed up and it is my 4th pass. I am out of the competition! See you in December.0

Since cycling season is probably over for us yesterday and today I started some workouts with lots of squats and lunges to try and keep my leg strength that I built up. Oh
it is going to be bad tomorrow!! I have been periodically stretching but soreness is starting.
Tracked and calories well under.2 -
@120maggie You and I and @trixsey1 are all in the same spot. We have to make the transition from the outside exercise that we love and do easily to the inside exercise discipline. Not nearly as much fun, but oh so necessary.
My report:
Yesterday evening, I sat down and create a daily routine protocol for each day of the week. I will do cardio/strength on 3 days (M, W, F) and walk on my treadmill on most of the other days.
Exercise today: 15 minutes of active stretching; 35 minutes of rowing sprints interspersed within lower body strength training.
Tracking; Ok3 -
