    Yes x 3 slowly inching back where I need to be

    (if I were still 5'3" i'd be ~ 2 pounds into "BMI-Normal" and the very upper edge of my maintenance zone. I admitted to the Wii that I am now 5'2" (olde-age spine compression type thing) so I am BMI-25.40 still 2 pounds on the WRONG side of the dividing line between BMI Overweight and BMI Normal, and 3 or so pounds after that to get below middle of maintenance range)

    The sun is already behind the houses by 4:30 - 4:45 (after-dark by the time I "commute down the stairs at ~5:00" ) and it seems we don't do the after-supper walks any more. It's gonna feel like a long winter this year ....

    Month #2 in the UAC group. Happy with how October went. Did well in the challenge and also took off 5 lbs along the way.

    I am expecting November to be a challenging month. I would like to make the winner’s circle again, but at worst, I will accumulate the least number of passes I can. With all that will come at the end of the month (Nov 26 – 29), I need to really stay focused every day leading up to those dates.

    For this round, I’m going to start logging my net calories since I think I should be looking into what portion of exercise calories I should be adding in. I have been getting some thoughtful input on this. There is likely going to be some evolution over the month, but I know there is a delicate and individual balance regarding total calories, I will update as I define. Starting the month on the same premise as October, with no exercise calories added.

    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

    Have you considered trying something like Gyrotonic or rehabilitation? The former had me walking taller after two sessions but I imagine any focused stretching may have similar results (including inversion therapy/beds which my mother did in the 80s after a back injury).

    Perhaps chat with your doctor about this if the height difference concerns you?

    Note: I didn't do Gyrotonic to "grow taller" (that was a surprise bonus and I started a thread about it in the main forums) 🤣 However, it is aces for me when it comes to mobility, flexibility and alternative core work.

    Our 17-1/2 year old “kitten”!
    She & her sis (who passed suddenly 5 years ag - still miss her terribly) were left behind my their mom at a friend’s & we were lucky enough to get them a few days later!

    I’ve never seen her with her legs crossed like this so I focused on them & took the shot quickly before she moved...only a few days later as I went through my photos Did I see her cute tongue.

    This photo is my favorite of all time of her - even out of focus - because it shows her beauty & her impishness😘
