This quote is true whoever we are; wherever we are; and whenever we are.
It's Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
God bless each and every one of you!
You are each a blessing to me!

and a specific thank you to @BMcC9; @fatbambi2017; @MaltedTea; @TeresaSavage; @TerriRichardson112; and
@ginadomaszewicz (I have to be very careful typing both of your 'z's") for posting encouraging messages for the December UAC11 -
Today will be a calorie and tracking challenge, but I will do my best. I will report in later. I expect to use Pass #1 today as I know my calories will exceed my target. Goals for the day are to track as accurately as possible and to fit in the exercise despite knowing it will be a pass day.10

(Safely) enjoy this special day on the U.S. calendar, everyone there.
"Just another day" where I am (Canada, being farther north, has their Thanksgiving Day in the earlier part of October)
Did the 7 minute balance&flexibilty routine for the 3rd day in a row. No matter what happens at work, at least I started the day with a "win" (and prelogged the 3 main meals of the day, so that's a second "win")11 -
Happy Thanksgiving to all my UAC buddies please be safe and enjoy your holiday will post later today. And yes seems to be many creepy friend requests going on out there received several messages from others is there a way to report inappropriate behaviors?9

A successful day! Morning run, lunch with my friends who are finally back from Poland (they had to go back to sort out their visas and it took forever), afternoon nap because I can and evening Jiu Jitsu class.
I logged everything and was under budget. It’s good to get back on track.
Normal day here in South Africa although we seem to have adopted Black Friday. I don’t shop much at this time of year but did grab a good special on my protein powder and tomorrow will do online order for coffee beans.9 -
Happy Thanksgiving day to those that celebrate!

In the greater scheme of things, (so long as it remains the exception rather than the norm) .... one day by itself doesn't change much.
And CONGRATS on getting in the 45 minute walk! THAT (as a trend) will tend to counterbalance the odd heavy-calorie special occasion (which is why UAC has built-in Intentional Pass Days ... )5 -

⭐️ EXERCISE: Yes.
❌ CALORIES: Nope.
⭐️ TRACK: Yes.
So this is my 2nd Pass Day of November.
But I was saving one pass for today, so no worries. It was 50 here this morning, so I did go outside and walk two separate walks today totaling 6.6 miles and 140 minutes. I hope all of my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
PASS: 2/3

I was so busy this morning I didn’t realize I hadn’t had breakfast! Made up for it with turkey dinner but had small portions and managed to stay under!
Happy turkey day everyone!

Why is standing on your fett (to cook?) *not* exercising?! 🤗 Did you queue in a shop or stand in front of a class? Otherwise I'd rethink that...

dewit: To be honest, it felt like exercise. But just standing in one place cooking doesn't sound like it can count for exercising. But thank you! ❤ I can use a pass 🌹2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, walked in the nearby national park for 30 minutes to get some open sky and see the wild grass. A rest day.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, turned down a Thanksgiving meal since I have massive exposure to the public during the week. I didn't think I should be sitting near others without a mask. Had yogurt, blueberries and coffee for dinner. Afterwards wore a mask and sat far away to watch a movie with the same people -- I was the only one wearing a mask.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes
Pass days 2/3
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates the holiday.

Favorite summer activity is likely why I am here - probably "eating". I am not a summer person. Fall is my favorite. I am not a bright sun, heat, humidity, or water person. So of course it made a lot of sense that hubby and I bought a place in the Florida Keys last year. I think I'm going to need to find a better favorite summer "activity". :P

I took this as an (in)active rest day.
Update: tacking on another 7,000 steps and 150ish exercise calories (which includes a literal sprint out the door in order to get to the store before it closed at 9 pm.
Why? An item I bought last week was on sale as a doorcrasher and I only noticed while casually scrolling through my phone after dinner.
There was no way I wasn't going to get either the difference in price back as a refund ($30+) or a second box.
I opted for a 2nd box, STILL got some money back and even had time to pick up stocking stuffers on my list...all before 9
Boom! The exercise over the past two months - especially those random Fartleks - really benefitted me today.
Saving money is my motivation 🤣4 -
@snowshoe072 Sorry you're having this issue. I answered on the What's on Your Mind forum.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.2 -
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
Yes x 3 here (thankful to live in Australia so we dont celebrate here - My waist line thanks me)4 -
Happy Thanksgiving to al those celebrating today!
Although I did run a virtual Turkey Trot 10K this morning, I indulged in homemade cinnamon rolls and deep dish pizza, so I am taking Pass Day #2 for the month.
Back at it tomorrow! 4 -
In the old days, I would have had a blow-out eating day today. Instead, I was only over my limit by a modest margin.
Pass Day for me, but that is okay. It's the most enjoyed holiday of the year.5 -
Happy Thanksgiving!
I did not track or have designated exercise time. I've been non-stop busy with family ...and pet sitting...but definitely a pass day!5 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 12 mile bike ride.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes (under despite holiday).
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.5
