    My calorie rule for January UAC
    Defining, for myself more than anything, what is the definition of my daily calorie goal. For Oct and Nov, I used 1430 and not eating back exercise. December, I raised that to 1480 with no additional calories for exercise. For January, I am going to try a blended rule; either Food calories under 1480, or Net calories (ie Food minus exercise) under 1200. So, if my exercise burns less than 280 on a given day, there is no added calories. BUT, if I exercise more, I have the option additional food OR if I overeat, I have the option of exercising more to not use a pass day. This flexibility was not something I allowed in my previous rounds. Once I exceeded my goal calories, regardless of my exercise burn. Also, I am defining that I am using the MFP estimate for the caloric burn from exercise. I know I could get different numbers elsewhere, but I am going to use only the one source – good or bad.

    *** So for my first time, I am giving myself a gift and allowing myself to count unstructured exercise ( ie no plan and no timers running). I have been lifting and moving boxes all day after starting by shoveling the access for my MIL’s movers. Back to her condo tomorrow. Could I do 20 minutes of formal exercise? Yes, but I have a couple hours of prep for tomorrow still to do tonight and for today, that is the priority. Will be there 4 out of the next 5 days, and then hopefully after that I can get my own home back in order. :P
