Good Morning and Happy June 1st. A new start, a new month and good things to come.
Also, if you are new to the group, you likely expected to see @RangerRickL at the helm. I, @smoda61 (AKA Sherri), have been helping Rick out and will opening each day’s thread for the next two weeks.
To start the day off. Congratulations to our Winner’s Circle who did not let “May Showers” hold them back! Great job!

Welcome to all of our new members! You have joined a great community. Be sure to reach out to the group if you have questions or need support. The diversity in our group means that invariably someone will have ideas and be able to help.
If along the way you are ready to quit, give the group another day, or two, or three, and see if you can make it to the end of the month. Perseverance is a foundational trait that will ultimately help you towards your goals.
To the UAC members, both old and new, I am asking how do you plan to approach June? Are you simply taking it a day at a time, or can you specify specific goals?
What is your plan? If your plan is “I have no plan”, that is OK too!

Hi, I am trying again this month, last month was a fail for me. My plan is 20 mins exercise a day, minimum. 1200 calorie maximum..1 litre of water.
Day 1...
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes12 -
I’ll start this off.
Unlike May, for June I am defining some attainable goals and as a maintainer, here is my plan:
1) tighten the daily fluctuations in my weight and not cross 125 lb on my upswings
a. therefore, must keep my “normal” at or below 123
b. therefore, can’t have multiple over calorie (AKA binge) days in a row
2) Continue with a daily calorie goal of 1640 plus exercise
3) Track everything, even if exceeding my goal, therefore MFP 7-day average feature accurately reflects my diet
4) Repeat the apple fitness March Challenge of closing all three rings 27 out of 31 days
5) To make Winner’s Circle for the first time since beginning maintenance
Note: Some real irony here. I composed this last night on the 31st in preparation for this morning. Then, this morning, the day after a rare pasta dinner (always triggers a temporary uptick for me) and some late night picking, the scale was 125. Phew, it would have been embarrassing to miss an intended goal on the first day of the challenge.
Will check in for the day, later on.12 -
I have seen really good progress since March, and especially in May with UAC. I want to keep that up in June.
I noticed other members tracking additional personal goals so I came up with some that I will track to ensure I am as successful as I can hope to be. The goals I'll be tracking are:
Standard UAC goals:
1. Exercise 20+ minutes
2. Calories within limits
3. Track everything I consume
The personal goals I'll track are:
1. Net carbs 30g or less per day
2. Protein 180g or more per day
3. Intermittent fasted each day (16+ hours)
4. All scheduled workouts completed each day.
Best wishes to all in June!10 -
1st June xox
20 min walk, tracked and under.
Life goals for June:
*Try to not hve any pass days but if i do make sure i track all food.
* Avoid giving ppl advice, instead just listen.
* Talk less listen more.
* Do things badly instead of not at all.
* Stay at maintaince calories for minimum of 2 weeks to focus on controlling overeating.
* Mediate & journal as much as possible.
* Practice gratitude.
* Actively hve me time away from hubby and bub at least once a week.

I’m new and focusing on a healthy summer during a break from teaching. Got on my Peloton for 30 minutes today after a healthy breakfast.14
-
1st June:
3 x Yes.
Exercise: 60 minutes walking, not furiously fast today, but a bit more leisurely
Calories: Under. Forgot to eat my bit of cheese this evening, not used to eating cheese any more, because I often cannot stop! But I had brushed my teeth already, so did without! Could have done with a bit more protein, or fewer carbs.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
Played a few scales and did some finger exercises on the piano, stiff fingers after a long time not playing!
Goals for June.
1) Sticking to the UAC challenge for the whole month
2) Trying to have no more than 3 Pass Days on the UAC challenge. This will be difficult at the end of the month, when I will be staying with family and friends in the Netherlands, where there will be a lot of bread, cheese, nibbles, cakes, biscuits and wine around...
3) Try and stick to more protein and less starch in my diet
4) Walk for an hour every day, or get back on my bike.
5) Aim to lose 3 - 4 kg by 26th June. I'd like to hit 75kg by then, now just under 80.
6) Start playing the piano again.8 -

Welcome to the new members, congratulations to last month's winners and champions and thank you @RangerRickL and @SModa61 for hosting the group!
This will be my sixth month of the UAC.
For this round, I would like to watch my weekly rather than daily calorie budget, as I will be experimenting with fast days after being inspired by @Mrs_Hoffer.
Although my daily sign-ins will be delayed, I will continue to follow the discussions, as they contain valuable advice.

@SModa61 Thanks Sherri for a brilliant start for June!!
My wife Rose and I have just begun the unpleasant process of “depersonalization” of our home. We have lived here for 28 years. It’s difficult to take down family photos and to be giving them to our adult children.
This month, I intend to follow the UAC basic rules and add 20 minutes of intentional cardio (every other day).12 -
@RangerRickL What a treat it'll be to revisit the photos when you visit the kids from now on!
And, yes, @SModa61 has been really stepping into the moderator role. Thanks for continuing to keep us engaged!
---|---|---|--
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Theresa Depasquale's 90-Day Workout Program (30), Run (18) TOTAL: 48
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 314
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES |
---|---|---|---
Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (40%)? NO | 23%
Pass Days Used:
Finally, as I've done on the first of every month thus far, I'll list my accomplishments. With the help of UAC participation over the past month, I've been able to:
* run my first 10km in 3 years
* take 7.5% more steps than MAY2020
* keep my average fibre intake >30g daily (even though protein averaged 28% instead of 40%)
And, since joining UAC in October 2020, I've lost a total of 5.4% body fat and gained 2.2% in lean body mass. I'm STILL trying to figure out how to improve this ratio so as to pack on more lean muscle faster.
Other goals for June (unchanged from May since, umm, I didn't really pursue them properly)...
* Resume Gyrotronic sessions with my instructor, Take 3 (our pandemic lockdown is likely to be removed as of next week)
* Continue my splits training/stretching program (by Leap Fitness Group)
* Do traditional pushups as per Cooper Test criteria8 -

Well, I'd been craving Shake Shake for a few days and tried to pacify with other things. Still wanted it today, so just decided I'd make it work. Got the regular fries instead of cheese fries which saved me 300 calories! Was 200 over for the day but knew a good spin session would put me back under and added 20 arms as well.
Exercise: Spin 30, arms 20 (Had a really great spin session)

0/3 Pass Days Used9 -
Tuesday, June 1
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under but had to use exercise calories
Exercise: Yes, traveling today - in truck for over 6 hours. When we got to the kiln to unload and load wood, I jogged around pallets of wood for 2 hours. Usually I sit in the truck and read a book. I planned breakfast and was home for dinner. I did not plan lunch and we ended up at the only game in town - McDonalds. That was a bad plan.
