Thank you for sharing!!
My day:
Calories: way under my limit...I seldom do that
Tracking: good
Exercise: walking for 25 minutes
Like @znaoiec, this month, I am being very thoughtful about my self-created habit of an end of the day red wine. I bought the book, The Alcohol Experiment, by Anne Grace. I"m on Day 3. Although, my wine habit is usually just one glass per day, I have developed cravings for it. That is what bothers me.
The Alcohol Experiment is a like a 30 day challenge. For me that means that it will span the months of August and September. I'll keep you posted as I need the accountability of posting.

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
My job is notorious for bringing in food, catered lunch today and catered breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Luckily I work for a sports organization so they try to have at least one healthy option. Working hard to track calories, I've been cooking at home for the last week which makes it easier to control my diet. Eating out too much has always been my downfall.4 -
Aug 6: yes x 3: only 6 calories under but I'll take it!
Arm challenge day 3, ab workout, 2,000M row and 50min elliptical.
I'm trying to kick my refined sugar habit. Until you try to reduce the amount you intake on a daily basis you dont realize how much sugar one eats in a day.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 2 mile walk and about an hour of yoga.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, actually under my target w/exercise by about 350. I'm "saving" some of my calories for Friday and Saturday this week.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.4 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 52 minutes of strength this morning (Leg Day!) and 2 mile treadmill walk this afternoon
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
Wow, @RangerRickL, this has honestly opened my eyes to something I never realized. I never thought of "willpower" being something we all have a certain amount and by the end of the day, it's just tapped out. That so explains my craving for sweet things at night! I've always had those cravings, but I just do my best to "trick" them by having fruit or something that tastes naughty but isn't (like a chocolate "nice" shake). Now that I have a better grasp on what's going on, I'm going to have to tweak my strategies a bit more.
@pribud Congrats on the loss! That is a great start to August!
@BonnieHosk85 So sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

Yes x 3. Exercise was strength training, tennis and walking.
I think this spring I conquered the last of my bad habits, but the effort has taken years. UAC has been amazing at reinforcing those good habits. Those good habits seem fairly easy now. The real test will be the next pressure cooker situation but hopefully that won’t be anytime soon.6 -

Yes x 3 for Tuesday
Well under calories, and an hour and a half of tennis
Watching successful people on here for the last year and a half has changed my viewpoint on willpower. I used to believe it was necessary, and when I failed I felt badly for not having enough to get me through. I had an "all or nothing" mentality that just didn't work for me.
Now I've observed many folks talking about discipline and consistency, and for some reason that clicked with me. Even when I indulge, don't exercise, whatever...as long as I'm diciplined and consistent with tracking I am right back in the saddle the next day.
Thanks to this I'm now a very consistent person with health, and it's completely become habitual and normal. LOVE this group!6 -

August 6, 2019
Exercise: Yes, 35 minutes walking
Calories: Yes
Tracking: Yes
Today is one of those days where I can definitively say UAC made a difference. I was not very active today, but at the end of the day, I took a vigorous 30 minute walk so I could report to all of you that I made my exercise goal.7 -
One of my old habits was buying chocolate just for me, a few months ago I thought why??? So I just don't buy it now, I bought mint sweets instead just in case I need a sugar fix but that is getting less, I snack on fruit, nuts, peanut butter, only eat homemade cake, it can be done
Exercise yes 10 min quigong, 40 min yoga, 30 min cleaning, 50 min walk
Tracking yes
Calories yes
