Thank you so much for posting on the MFP Challenge Board for our November UAC promo...
@ginadomaszewicz ; @fatbambi2017 ; @Hollis100 ; @MadisonMolly2017; and @BMcC9!
@BMcC9 wrote this lovely post,
"The UA Champions List gives a sense of positive accomplishment as you work through the inevitable time-lag of learning new habits that fit your unique preferences and situations. As they become more natural, you find your way to the Winners Circle.
The three Pass days allow for the reality that Life Happens ... maybe a pre-planned Special Occasion like a family birthday or anniversary ... maybe an un-planned Spontaneous Event that cut out the exercise opportunity for the day .... or just plain whatever.
Even out of the Winners Circle, Champions tend to find themselves ahead of where they were at the start of the month. Then the NEXT month, they aim for one or two less unplanned passes ... which becomes easier as time goes by and new habits become routine "just the way I operate".
We only ask that you come try for one month ... but hope you will stay longer. Many of us have."
Thanks so much to everyone who helps us reach out to others!!

What a crazy day! First a little gecko escaped. Super fat guy who can climb walls so tricky to catch but I got him back in his home safely. Then one of the venomous snakes tried the same stunt. Luckily we stopped that escape attempt. We decided to skip weighing the psycho cobra as we thought we had used our chances already that day. Next was the big boy! Charlie is obviously embarrassed about his weight because he did not want to go in the bin. The public were very entertained at the three ladies chasing the 43 kg python around the room (we did finally get him on the scale). Afternoon seal feed was chaos with one of the seals just being naughty constantly and disturbing everything else. Then I had to rescue a swallow that flew into the kitchen. Getting to Jiu Jitsu and practising shoulder locks with my housemate was so relaxing after that day!
Exercise was Jiu Jitsu and walking. Food was good choices and not too far under budget (I need to fuel my training so need to eat within a certain range) thanks to the chocolate milk in the evening! Gonna start doing that after each session, I forgot how much it helps (better than a protein shake in my opinion).8 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 60 minute Yin Yoga class in the morning, 2 hours strength training consisting of; weight lifting, deadlifts, planks, squats, blah, blah, blah, this afternoon, and I'm getting ready to go to a 60 minute Hatha Yoga class this evening.

It's 6 pm but I've pre-logged my food and my exercising is all done for the day. I'd have to go so FAR off the rails with my eating tonight to not make the following true...
---|---|---|---
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Pre-work Interval Workout via Zoom (30), 10,000 Swing Kettlebell Workout - 18th of 20 sessions (41), planks (4) TOTAL: 75 min
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 553
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES |
---|---|---|---
Almost at sub-40 minutes for this workout but there's a lot of sloppy swings.
I'll blame that the nagging hip flexor so since I've got a bit of energy I may stretch before bed.6 -

day 27
Kind of lost track of my food eating rolls I baked.
Little bit of exercise taking Buddy to the park sledding.
I should be able to get my cardio dose tomorrow. Streets will likely be dry.
Riding on blacktop will be the order of the day.
Saving grace of the day is kitchen closure at 6.00. Don't eat after that.7 -
