✅✅✅
Pass days remaining: 3
Exercise: 45 min circuit training class.
I can definitely tell I’m getting stronger which is nice, and I’m starting to see definition in my arms that I don’t think I’ve ever had before - despite the scale continuing to be a giant turd.
I honestly was thinking about taking June off from UAC but I realized with the funk I’m in, if I lost my accountability to this group I’d probably spiral into old habits and put weight on instead of taking it off. Sticking with UAC is key, honestly. Between this lovely group and the ring I’ve decided I’m getting myself in 6lbs when I hit 70lbs down - I think maybe I’ll break this plateau thing and have something new and pretty to stare at while I type all day.13 -
@calvin20874 - no passes since January? That is really impressive!
Sticking with the UAC - absolutely critical. Even if I use up my passes, i keep tracking and shift my personal goal. It’s created great habits.
Exercise: yes
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Passes used: 1/310 -
Knowing I have to post my success or failure in meeting the 3 UAC daily helps keep me from slipping into bad habits. I still have days when I mess up, but they are a much less frequent occurrence than before joining UAC.

June 3:
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - Walked for just over an hour!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Unfortunately, no. Even using net calories with my longer walk today, I went over my calorie budget.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
So, I guess this will be one of my 3 pass days, given that I have one "no"? Here's to eating smaller portions tomorrow!

Exercise? Yes.
Cals? Yes.. barely. Working in a kitchen puts me in a position for easy snacking.
Track? Yes.11 -
Yes, yes, and yes, a good day!
It has been an important part of my maintenance. I started here back in March of last year, and while I have only made the winner's circle about half the time just knowing I would be posting here every day has been a big help to me. I appreciate what you are doing, and all that Rick has done. As well as all the members.Thoughts on the value of sticking with the UAC?

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES, I walked around the neighborhood for at least 30 minutes (total of 7854 steps today). I'd know the time and distance for my walk except when I got back home the Google fit app was still on the start screen waiting for me to press the arrow to begin tracking. Grrrr.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES, was able to fit in an evening snack of PB&J on toast, thanks to PB2 (which I only recently discovered).

Yes x3 today! Walked 90 mins.6

3 YES day. Walked while dinner was in the oven. Fridays are normally pass days for me but I’m going to try to break that trend tomorrow. We’ll see how I do.9
