I’ve been mia the past few days. Family vacation was wonderful. Loose tracking, somewhat intentional exercise, great visits with friends and family, no regrets! Definitely over my pass days for the month, but back to regular tracking and routine tomorrow.3

Yes x 3
I'm still off work, so able to do a lot more, which means I get to eat more
. Today, hike along beach cliffs w dog, dance practice with a friend, then Zumba class. I'm exhausted, but got to eat cookies and have cream and sugar in my coffee. 4 -

Hello my UAC Friends,
UAC saved me today.
Feb 19 Pass Day 1
Feb 20 Pass Day 2
Woke up Feb 21, and decided. Nope! Not giving up. Not taking a Pass Day,
Told myself my Calories In had to be below Calories Out AND I could only eat things I knew exact calorie count until scale was 152.2 or lower.
(Also decided 153 is my Top Weight from now on, so “no more fooling around,” as the scale jumped back up to 153 this AM.)
The healthy goal I want most? I have four.
1. Maintain my 75+ pound weight loss & eventually get to 147/148 lbs.
2. Return to my earlier, more nutritious eating
3. become as fit as I can
4. Maintain my excellent labs, bp, lower pulse for same exercise, etc.
The one I want the most: A tie between 1 & 4, but of course they are related.
What price are you willing to pay to obtain the healthy goal?
**Stop eating out again.**Area to improve!
**Pre-prep lunch & dinner, so I don’t suggest eating out.** Area to improve!
Continue exercising & pursue yoga & weight lifting. Continue tracking all & keep calories in under calories out.
If you don't pay the price to obtain that goal...what will be the cost to your health if you let yourself get in your way?
I believe I would be unsuccessful in maintaining my weight loss, and my labs will go in the wrong direction. I won’t have the energy & ease in climbing hills. I won’t look as slim —> decreased confidence. I will be embarrassed. I will have let down myself AND not kept my promise to my kidney donor angel.
My kidney function is now completely Normal. I Don’t. Want. To. Jeopardize. That. It was 9% in 2017 prior to transplant.
Off to walk around to work off the remaining calorie surplus for today.
Will post the final result before bed.
Thank you & thank you @RangerRickL
(We might need a regular day each month, perhaps the 21st for this exercise - just like our NSV on the 15th!)5 -

@corriepelc
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll work on upping my water intake more. I do watch my potassium and I usually get enough and I stretch everyday a few time. But stretching right before bed is probably a good idea.
I've actually read that it may be a side effect of a medicine that I take, which would explain why they are becoming a more common occurrence.1 -

@MadisonMolly2017
Thank you for your continued enthusiasm to get whole and healthy. None of could have known about your past-near-death kidney dysfunction. You are an important member of this team and I deeply appreciate you.
I agree that the 'reflection on goals and dangers" should be repeated. Every month, we always have some changes in team membership so the concept will not get stale.
Your friend, Rick3
