Your fellow members are a fantastic resource. There is always someone willing to answer any questions you may have. However, did you know that there are other resources within the UAC? They are on the group page under ANNOUNCEMENTS- What’s on your mind today? - Our general chat thread.
- Introductions - This is where you can tell us a little about yourself
- FAQ’s - First port of call if you have a query.
- Rules - an explanation of how UAC works, and first port port of call for new members.
These are great places to go to find out about the UAC. Learn more about your fellow members in “Introductions” and check out the "What's Happening” for a little extra chit-chit and finding out where the cool kids hang out.
August is yours for the taking.
Start strong, and keep on keeping on.10 -
I’ve realized I’ve been trying to change/add/adapt too much the last month which resulted in failure all around. I’m scaling everything back down. Just the 3 goals of the UAC plus freggies. That one has been an eye opener for me. And because I’m so inspired by @MadisonMolly2017 - I’m going to do a very unflattering copy and use this as my visual reminder to track each day. It’s not nearly as creative or beautiful as yours, but I don’t have an artistic bone in my body!

reduction in calories due to flare up of sciatica (I think) which may prevent running for a little while. ow.

Exercise was a 1 mile walk and 3 mile run. A bug dive bombed my mouth on the run and I felt it hit the back of my throat and after the coughing stopped I found myself thinking… can I track a bug so I can still say I tracked everything? 🤔😂
IT TURNS OUT YOU CAN! 😂🤣
Ok. That’s all. Carry on. I may or may not need a vacation 😂🤣25 -

Personal goals for August 2021:
1. Plan to be in winners circle (track everything as expected in this UAC)
2. Not more than 3 pass days
3. Stay honest (even if it puts me out of the circle for the month)
4. Maintain the habits of "kitchen close"
5. Create a habit of not eating more than 1 serving of nuts. "Don't go nuts"
5. Forgive my mistakes (forgive myself) and don't leave the UAC for this month even if I failed
6. Encourage others where possible.

Happy Civic Day to the Canadians
As I had the day off work, I packed my coffee, bike and suncreen first thing this morning and headed to the closest beach town. I was beat when I got home (still not sleeping the greatest) but at least I enjoyed my day off.
Yes x 3 today; started snacking and couldn't stop but by the time I was over it, it was supper time and I was satiated, no need for supper
Here are some pics of my Civic Holiday Fun:

Welcome new and old members.
The UAC challenge has only 3 rules.- Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
- Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
- Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
At first glance, they look very simple. From my experience these rules are applicable to anyone at any stage of this health journey. Whether you are just beginning, advanced or maintaining. (BTW, I've being in maintenance for the past few years).
I have come to realized that these are the only things that nobody in this life will do for me. Nobody can eat for me/you, exercise for me/you or track what I/you eat, lick or bite in this world. This is all about me/you, my/your health, and my usefulness to those around me! If I don't take care of my health then I cannot take care of anybody. (You are always advised to put on your mask when there is low pressure in the plane before helping your child/anybody, else both of you will/may die)
Does it mean that I will not fail? No, it is not about being perfect! But it about forming a habit. A habit that will bless me and move me forward in life, it will also bless those around me.
Therefore, as you join us in this month's UAC, you do not have to be perfect. We are not
This is a very supportive group. We will support you as you learn these habits. Come by everyday, read encouraging/funny/realistic posts, and post something.
If you have at most 3 pass days (pass day is a day where you could not say "Yes" to any of these 3 rules). Then you are in Winner's circle.
If you have more than 3 pass day but you were here everyday, you are in the Champion's circle.8 -
