Yes, yes and yes
Walking and a lot of movement (lifting) at work later in the day setting up for an outdoor concert. I was pretty tired at the end of day.
Exercise is pretty much a given for me but I find the actual recording of information challenging. I typically eat known foods and calculate my calorie content throughout the day in my head. I record the info in the evening though I am working to get around this and be more proactive at recording in advance or as I eat them.
@Healthymumlife I really enjoy your beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing.3 -

From my hike today
Oh my gosh! This looks like you were on top of the world! I love this picture! I'm sure it was a beautiful hike @clutterqueen !!1 -
Tracking everything I eat into MFP is the most difficult of the 3 rules for me to stick to, because sometimes it means approximating and that takes effort to do. That's why I decided to do UAC, to challenge myself to make a better effort at tracking. I've been trying to lose 5ish vanity pounds for so long now, and what it takes to do it is the discipline of tracking consistently!

Today’s report…
Exercise: more than 4 hours of walking ( but I only count 3 hours for calories output)
Tracking: really good
Calories: under my limit
Ive made a habit of doing this too..... tracking right away after any caloric intake.
And I've found that if I pre-plan and pre-log my day, then I can finiggle items around what hubby is making for supper that day and it's helped me to come in under my calorie goal SO MUCH MORE OFTEN! I'll do it either the night before, or early that morning while I'm eating breakfast. I've also found that mindfully and purposefully increasing my protein (currently I'm shooting for 100g/day) has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased my hunger throughout the day.3 -
The hardest for me is staying below calories and tracking dinner-because hubby makes dinner-I usually don’t know what it is-and I’m usually off to assisting with homework or being the mom taxi
But big news for me-I met all three criteria yesterday!
Exercised-1hour walk then ran for 20 minutes
Stayed below calories-had like 200 to spare
Tracked everything6 -

@bookieNJ I'm in the same boat. Hubby makes dinner every night because he's retired and at home - and I'm still working!
I've gotten in the habit of asking him every morning what's for dinner so that I can enter it into my food diary and then work around that meal to figure out the rest of my day. Most of what I eat for breakfast, lunch and snacks are the same few things, so it's just a matter of copying/pasting. When I'm finished, if I'm "over" for the day, I can edit and lower the ounces/grams of items in my diary to make sure that I'm going to come in under for the day. The key for me was to learn to log it BEFORE I ate it!! Lol.
EXCITED that you met all 3 yesterday!! CONGRATS!!2 -
Exercise:
Wow, I ran 7 miles this morning! (The all day rain and thunderstorms forecasted didn't materialize.) 4 weeks from today is the 15k!!!
Tracking:
Calories:
I know that this challenge isn't really focused on weight loss, but I have to mention that at today's weigh in I flew past the 50lb loss milestone and hit 52.2 lbs. Between that and the 7 mile run, what a great feeling of success!!!
IMPRESSIVE!!!! I'm so excited for you!!! CONGRATS!!! 1 -
Congrats @bradkcrew just look at how far you have come already. You are already knocking on the door of a 15k run! And it gets easier as you shed the weight!4

Feeling under the weather today so ate at maintenance instead of my calorie budget
✅ exercise
✅ tracking
❌ calories
That’s 3 passes used4 -
Thank you @jamcnewman 🧡
It’s odd, I definitely don’t feel quite as good as I did a week ago (which was post pneumonia shot & pre-Covid #3.)
Hoping all will get back to normal!!!
Thanks again! 😄2 -

Started off with good intentions, but somewhere just needed food and started grabbing what was convenient without caring enough to measure or even approximate for tracking. This weekend, I just didn't have the mental energy to track, but usually the most difficult for me is exercise.
Very honest brising86 - - I have so many of these moods that it's hard to keep track BUT this group is like an angel on my shoulder encouraging me to not give in (or up!) Hang in there!
