    3/2
    1 pass day
    Exercise, yes. As out of my normal routine that it was I went to the gym before grocery store to get a walk in.
    Wouldn't have done that without this challenge.
    Calories, yes due to using my exercise calories.
    Tracked everything as best I could. Had to do a lot of baking today. I think I actually over calculated.
    Funny thing is I really didn't enjoy the cookie dough or cookies as i would have a month ago.
    I gave myself an allowance of one bite of cookie dough and one cookie from each batch.
    I didn't even do that much!
    That's progress...keep it going!

    It’s hard to get outside of your own headspace when you are sick and down, but you will get through this. It’s temporary and you are committed to making healthy changes in life. Just the fact that you are still logging shows your dedication.
    UAC is all about health, taking care of yourself while you get through shingles is your health challenge this month. Keep checking in everyday, stick with us and every single one of us will stick with you.
    We’ve all heard it around MFP a million times, be kind to yourself. Speak to yourself how you would speak to someone you love.

    That all being said, it’s ok to be frustrated!!! Shingles suck☹️

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, unfortunately Saturdays are cleaning house days
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes!
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes!

    Side note: I really appreciate people's "side notes" 😊
    HOW you reach your goals or dont reach your daily goals is just as important and helpful. Thanks!

    @strongscarlet, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis! I know that's miserable. Please don't forget to love yourself through this. Your name says it all. You are strong. You will succeed. Think of the future, even just to the end of March and how much better you're going to feel when you have chosen food as fuel and not as comfort. I'm speaking to myself as well as I tend to lean toward food as comfort. We can do this, girl! I'm watching Bringing Sexy Back on Netflix and it's really helping to motivate me toward a healthier lifestyle. https://www.netflix.com/title/81025218

    Exercise: 25 mins yoga
    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes

    I took the decision on this day to change my weight loss goal from 1lb a week to .5 lb a week. I think the restrictions may be behind my epic binges somewhat. I was hangry by 4pm yesterday and that extra 250 calories makes a big difference. I am already within the healthy range and want to lose less than a stone so I think this is more sustainable for me.

    I gave myself a low goal also because after years of being disappointed I needed to do something different, more realistic. So in late January I gave myself a goal of 3 pounds a month. I am weighing in weekly. I believe when I weigh in tomorrow I will have finally met a goal. It is encouraging and once again giving me hope.

    @BonnieHosk85 Thank you very much. It’s tough feeling that pull back to wanting food for comfort after feeling so good about that change in mindset towards it as fuel. I think it becomes harder these days of not exercising, because I don’t visualize myself as needing that fuel to go workout etc.

    But I do need fuel to live, and to get better. I should acknowledge that I am eating the same foods that I have been eating all along on UAT, even if the oatmeal bowl does feel more comforting these few days!

    You're right - it's so much better to reach an achievable goal than beat yourself up over an unachievable one. I hope you get what you want on the scales at weigh in! :smile:

    Scale popped up March 1, and stayed there March 2. I’m proud that I am taking it in stride, monitoring & being more careful.
