Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, 100 minutes walking, plus many hours disinfecting the public areas of my workplace because of the virus.I'm exhausted out of my mind. On the other hand, I think about Viktor Frankl's famous book Man's Search for Meaning. Frankl said (to paraphrase him, not a quote) our attitude is one thing we can control no matter what our circumstances. We can spiritually endure almost anything if we can find meaning in it, a purpose we can feel positive about.
I try to do walking meditations while I disinfect, so I come away with something for myself.
I'm also fortunate to have a job, period. Most of the people in my town are unemployed or furloughed right now.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes7 -

Spent some time on the road climbing.
Kind of like 1600 exercise calories if I am to believe Mr Wizard.
Got there kind of early it was like 49 degrees or so.
Couldn't decide on how much clothes to put on.
Few degrees colder and I would put on them legging like things that bike riders wear.
Leg warmers they call them but I guess they are leggings.
Didn't wear them.
But I end up putting on jacket and wind breaker thinking that I would cook.
Turned out not the case.
Cold and windy at the top.
Cold descent but back where I parked it was hot.
Weird how that in that short distance that I travel on the road the weather can change.
- sounds like quite the adventure... what a workout4 -
@espangili I like your idea of having an incentive for those who post everyday in the month.
I definitely would make that circle Most of the time. Unfortunately, from time to time, I miss a daily post.

@Hollis100 You are right! The Winner's Circle is an incentive, but developing healthy habits is the real purpose of the UAC.5

Exercise: easy day hike with elevation 45 minutes; active stretching 17 minutes
Calories: under my limit
Tracking: good6 -
YES to the third power
Satiate scale seems to be helping again but not a very stressful day today. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result so another new thing I tried today is telling myself I can have that sweet banana (not candy bar - reacclimatizing my tastebuds) if I still want it after 20 minutes. After my alarm went off, I was surprised that I didn't want it because I was satisfied with the lunch I always ate. The science is true for me, it takes 20 minutes for my stomach to tell my brain I'm satisfied!7 -

Today is set to be sunny again, yippee!

Tracking: Yes
Calories: over by a few hundred
Exercise: Yes, walk
Pass days to date -3Pass day - I seem to be alternating between relatively okay days and days where I switch from incredibly sad to really pissed off. My 4-1/2 year old grandson, who is thousands of miles away, keeps FaceTiming me crying, telling me he misses me, and begging me to come see him. I have been trying to keep myself so busy that I don’t have time to think about much. Yesterday was a bad day despite doing a great deal of physical labor. I think I need to try some meditation because a big mug of hot cocoa with a pound of marshmallow fluff did not make me feel better.2 -
@MadisonMolly2017 I read your wonderful, encouraging post yesterday and was happy to read it again. Thank you for sharing your hard-won wisdom with us.
@Chinkiri Your post resonates with me, too. You are right, that to continue to log and post, which helps us to be aware and aim for a better life, is a very real winner's circle. I always thought that was the real point of this challenge.
Thank you @Hollis100
I’m glad to be on this journey with you!1 -
