Halloween UAC Champions...
Tonight, before I do the discussion starter for November 1, I am going to go back through the last few day of the month to create a UAC Champions list. Our Champions are those who stick with the program and keep on posting. IMO: Tracking intake and exercise is the foundational healthy habit. It triggers thoughtfulness. Once we become thoughtful about what we put into our body, the rest of the habits will just fall into place.
I am so proud of each one of us who keep on tracking and posting through the entire month. You are truly Champions!8 -
I did it! Awesome evening with my sushi sisterhood enjoying one of my favourite foods but planned my day well so I had enough calories for the evening. Exercise was a walk with mom in the morning. My watch didn’t count that as exercise as my heart rate didn’t get high enough but for rest day it was perfect. Donated blood as well this morning and has a quiet restful day. Ready to smash next month as well, starting with Jiu Jitsu competition squad session in the morning.7

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, resistance band and Leslie Simone's Walk at Home
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Kitchen Closed? Yes
Pass day 1/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records)
Last day of the month and also last weigh-in. I am at maintenance so it feels good to be able to stay at desired weight.4 -
Yay.... Can't wait to congratulate UAC first set of Champions!...
You did it! You hang in there against all odds. I know that feeling. It's always why keep doing this when I have used so many pass days
But you delighted in your successful days instead of just looking at your number of passes. Way to go!!!! Congratulations!3 -
Today's hike put me on the safe side w.r.t. calories and made me end well a complicated month. No winner, but I consistently reported.4
-
I'm ending this month with a couple of pass days. However - I have also lost close to 2kg (my monthly target), fewer pass days than last month and - best of all - not a single binge day! Plus I've started back into a very gentle running routine. Looking at it this way, October's actually been quite a success 😊6

Nice walk outside, longer than normal.
Currently in quarantine for a while. We spent last weekend with our son and he has now tested positive. My husband and I are feeling fine but are staying close to home to be on the safe side. Thankfully son seems to be doing well too, at least so far.5 -

Pass Day #2 for me!
Once per year I eat lots of store bought candy. This is the day.
Once per year, I eat lots of home cooked fudge, brownies and pumpkin pie. This is not that day.
I'm very happy with my indulgence.

Tracked? Yep!

Yes x 3
I was going to take a pass day today since I've only had two. I did my walk in the chilly air with hubby and doggie so I got my exercise in. When I added up my calories they were under...quiet a suprise since I snacked more today. However I skipped lunch and ate an early dinner so guessing that kept me under. Not the best of choices but still under so only 2 passes for me this month.
Congrats to all in the circle and the Champs this month.😉4 -
Exercise: ✅
Otherwise, pass day 3!4
