Hi UAC Team mates!!!

Please help me to keep the UAC alive by going to the link and saying something nice about our UAC team.

Thanks, Rick1 -
The day started out great for me. Not only did I get to sleep a bit later (no one committed to training this morning before my bedtime, and coach asked me to take kids class so my schedule changed!) but when I stepped on the scale it was 100g less than yesterday. Considering what I ate yesterday, anything less than a gain is amazing!
I still have 2 kgs to lose to get to make weight on 1 December (but would prefer to drop a but more to have a safety buffer). But every step is progress!6 -
I don't usually post in the morning, but I am transitioned to my renewed cold weather indoor exercise. Today, I finished my cardio/strength workout with a total of 180 skips with my jump rope. I have never done more than 140 successive skips. The best thing is that this is the beginning of my indoor workouts, so I usually do poorly with the cardio portion of my workout. Just feeling happy that this 68 year old guy can skip a rope!

If it weren't for the Challenge ...
Today was a nasty, rainy, cold fall day. I spent the morning at the barn with the horse getting her fall vaccinations and then went the the eye doc for a post-op check-up. Then, home for lunch. Did I want to go back out to the gym for my 50 minutes on the rowing machine ? NO!!!
Then I thought about taking my first pass day of the challenge (for no really good reason). Just the little motivational nudge I needed.
Yes x 3!!3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 48 minutes before supper and another 27 minutes after supper
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - thanks to after-supper session ...
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes - why I knew i NEEDED that after-supper session .........

@RangerRickL Congrats on skipping rope.
I'm green with envy 
. Decided I might try it after 50+ years. Guess what??? LOL...I don't have the coordination to get to 10, so definitely not up for a challenge with you! Thought better of it, and prefer not to hurt myself...so I will just stick to the indoor walking and exercise videos for the winter, thank you very much!

Exercise? Yes...1 hour early evening chilly walk with my boyfriend.
Calories? Yes
Tracked? Everything logged
Have a fantastic weekend everyone! Kind regards.2 -
@w8goal4life I started jumping rope last winter. I had never skipped rope except maybe in one or two gym classes in high school. What has made the difference for me are the ropes made my www.crossrope.com
There are a wide selection of ropes which include ropes of different weights. My favorite is the 1/2 lb rope. I own a 1/4 lb rope and a 1 lb rope. The 1 lb rope causes too much stress on my right elbow. My right elbow was injured when I was in high school and after surgery, the orthopedic surgeon told me that I would have full range of motion, but I would not have strength.
Having a rope with some weight allows the rope to be skipped more slowly when you start. Later you can build speed. Take a look at the website.
Warning: these ropes are expensive.1 -
Exercise: 57 minutes of cardio/strength
Tracking: good
Calories; nice margin under my limit.1 -
pass number 3
exercise - yes afternoon walk
calories - over by 54 I had an extra snack - it thought my exercise calories would cover it - i forgot that the fitbit giveth and the fitbit taketh away
tracked - yes
still if it weren't for this challenge I would not have had that afternoon walk - it was a cold grey day, but I walked home from work anyway.1 -

@RangerRickL Thank you for the information. Others might find it useful, but I think I will pass. When I broke my left leg in early December 10 years ago (3 fractures: a tib-fib and a plate fracture) surgery put Humpty Dumpty back together, again, with 2 plates and 9 screws for permanent hardware. I was in a wheelchair for months and didn't begin to start walking until the following May when my first attempt was just to make it across the kitchen floor. The orthopedic surgeon said I would never run, skip, hop, or jump, again. It took me months to learn to walk, again...which is what started my walking regimen years ago. I can walk for miles without any issues, so I think I will just be happy with that and keep my two feet on the ground. I admire your willingness to try new fitness adventures, though. Hiking is about as far as I go beyond walking. 0 -
Yes x 2... nope, actually only yes x I
Lots of exercise, but I don't feel I could accurately track tonight's restaurant meal.and even with an hour of boot camp, standing all day and a 30 min dog walk, I surely went over in calories.2
