August is over and shortly on the heels of that will be the close of summer!
But we've had a very good month in the UAC!
27 new people signed up for the UAC in August. Only 6 of those were still posting by the 26th day of the month.
@bradkcrew , who was a newbie this month, has completed the ENTIRE MONTH with 0 Pass Days!!!! Huge Kudos to YOU!
In fact, I believe that we have 4 people who are finishing the month out, having used 0 Pass Days!! What a HUGE accomplishment!!
@bradkcrew
@DebyS137
@thabit11
@whatmerunning
Oh!! and @victorious55 had 23 nut free days this month!
Whoo Hoo!!
So tomorrow, (Sept 1) is a new day - a new month..... a new slate!!
Please be sure to give me a shout out if you're going to be in the Champions List or the Winner's Circle for August.
And of course, if you haven't already, please consider commenting and saying something nice about the UAC in the challenges board for our Sept group.

Wow u guys are my heros. Well done, outstanding work. Xo1 -
Yes x35

I was feeling a little frustrated that even though I’ve made the winners circle, I felt like I hadn’t lost any weight. I just went back and checked. I’ve lost 2 pounds this month and I’ve had my goal set to lose 1/2 pound a week. So bingo, spot on. I think I’ll up my goal the first 2 weeks of September to 1 pound a week. We’ll be on vacation the last 2 weeks and I’ll adjust it to maintenance for that time.10

A pretty decent month overall. I probably did not get as much running mileage in as I wanted but I was quite happy with a lot of the times (pace). We have pretty much been locked down again with Delta and I fear it will continue on at least another few weeks. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Sept!7 -
3xyes
Epic Day 7/50 Low body workout 😊 and 400 km driving. I got the keys from our new 🏠6 -
What tremendous success reported here today and so very inspiring!
@bradkcrew - from one newbie to another: You are awesome!!!! First month and zero passes used. Well done! 🌟
Congratulations to @DebyS137 and @WhatMeRunning for their consistently high commitment to exercise and all their inspirational posting in our group.
@thabit11 Congratulations on no binge eating for 29 days and your second trip to the Winners’ Circle! I hope you are feeling better.
I think uou need to change your posting template @victorious55 because you do not always go nuts on nuts. I admire your strength on this — 23 days free this month is a huge success for a nut lover (and yes, I know from personal experience what it is to LOVE nuts 🐿🥜🌰).
@Winner_in_Life Congratulations on getting the keys to your new home! What an exciting time for you!
@SummerSkier I wish we would get locked down here — Delta is out of control, our vaccination rate is the lowest in Canada, schools go back tomorrow, the ICUs are overloaded, all non-Covid medical procedures have been cancelled, and our provincial government still won’t bring in a mask mandate. Very frustrating.
@Mrs_Hoffer - you are truly a wonderful leader for this group. I don’t remember seeing pass days posted by you and believe you too are in the Winners’ Circle? Your goals for August were tremendous and the changes you brought about have caused you even further success! Thank you so much for all you do to encourage us all. 💛💐💛6 -

Finished with some yoga.

Mine are to read at least one book I did finish mine this afternoon in the sun after work, to ride my mountain bike i would like to get to the double digits with it and to hit my goal weight I am close.

August 31
I can’t believe it is September tomorrow! Thinking about my goals for month 2 on MFP and my second UAC. For August, it was simple: learn how to measure, track, make good choices, make a habit of moving every day, and keep optimistic. Whew!
For today: ✅✅✅We just had the most incredible hail/thunder storm. I am dreading the review of my garden in the morning and the clean up 😭
4 -
@jamcnewman sorry you had to deal with hail. Weather across the country has been truly wild this month. Precipitation in the form of fog, smog, hail, rain AND humidity?! Oy vay.
Sorry I have been SO incognito because beyond Canadian weather, life has been (ultimately pleasantly) wild the past few weeks. And September will require some bracing too.
Legend has it: if one logs their month's progress before midnight, local time, they can still make the Winner's Circle 😬
So here I am with 7 minutes to spare...Short Story: I finished all 10,000 swings yesterday
Good news: See above
Bad news: I didn't break any PRs but I almost broke my back. I blame this on the aforementioned humidity, which only went away this past Sunday.
