Congratulations to all the Winners!
My Plan? Well, I’m going away on holiday – flying abroad for the first time in over 2 years, (fingers crossed no last minute Covid restrictions) – for a fortnight over the end of November through to December. So, my plan includes being very careful over the next two/three weeks. Looking forward to some sun, it’s getting cold, wet, and dark here now.
Love that quote @TerriRichardson112!
@biketheworld – good to see you back, you can do this.
Welcome @edwardsc60!

Walked 1, ran 3
My November goals, outside of the UAC goals are:
Run a total of 60 miles
Stretch/foam roll for at least 10 minutes a day
When I started my journey, I drank a lot of green juice. (Either straight celery or celery based.) It seemed to really help set the tone for the day, it helped my digestion, and it helped me get more vitamins in. I stopped drinking it because it’s $4 a bottle and increasingly hard to find around here without driving out of the way to get it. I started drinking it again at the beginning of this year, and I again had a lot of success. I again stopped because of the cost. I got two weeks worth of it today, and plan on going out of my way to keep it in my daily plan. Perhaps it does something physically, perhaps it’s a placebo effect - either way it seems to work for me so now I need to budget like $120 worth of juice into the month. Ugh saying the total like that makes me queasy. Lol. Fingers crossed the stores I can still find it at don’t stop carrying it like all the stores I normally shop at.

Congratulations to everyone in the Winners’ Circle and a huge shout out to @SummerSkier @bradkcrew @DebyS137 & @lovingcaring for their extraordinary achievement of no pass days in October. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@biketheworld Goodness, your post hit home and all the feels. The journey is long, and I am tired already. But that is why, for me, UAC is so important and valuable - we are not alone. I find that when I purposefully force myself to have self-compassion for myself as a human being — rather than as a human doing — I can carve out some space for self care. Lots of material has been written on this; each person is so different. DM me if you want some personal support? 💛 Thanks for your courage to post and share. You have come so far, and no, you are not slower than a sloth. 🦥 Be kind to yourself.
Welcome back @Geneveremfp — missed you and your posts.
@taurie I have no advice, but for my words of encouragement. It is, in my opinion, probably the worst time to be a toddler right now (and the parent of one). The lack of “normal” and predictable patterns for socialization (so much being cancelled), increased anxiety everywhere (which they are so sensitive to), isolation, waves of exposure to everything in between periods of living in a bubble, and it is fall now — the season for the manifestation of the worst outcomes for the very necessary biologic process of building an immune system. My heart goes out to all parents of littles right now. 💛
@bradkcrew I love the idea of fancy event passes for planned events and how it puts the power right into our own hands. I am going to do this, and start my planning further in advance of the “day of” for one of our two wine tastings in November and my book club meeting. Thanks for this April!

Congratulations to all October Winner Circle members & Champions!
Sorry to hear @biketheworld but I am very impressed with how you are dealing with it. One week to dig yourself out is simply amazing. Good luck with it. And great advice @Mrs_Hoffer! One I going to remember the next time I get myself in a funk. Big hug to @mshawski. I really feel for your situation (perhaps because I've gone through infertility and can relate to the anger, frustration, loss & helplessness).
Some good advice was given so far for the upcoming holidays. In recent years I haven't had that much of a problem over the actual Christmas break. But I've learned that this is because I am an emotional eater triggered by stress and we are always given time off at Christmas. There's not a lot of stress for me when I'm not working. And I have a lot of time to cook healthily and exercise. I have struggled with work get-togethers but last year Covid trimmed those down to just a Christmas goodie basket; hopefully it will be the same this year. And not being in the office means I get to miss all the baked goodies people like to bring in (thankfully).
Yes x 3 for me today. Yesterday we closed our pool and yesterday I bought some thermal long underwear LOL. My plan was to be ready to head out on my bike with no excuses for how chilly it would be. I persevered last November wearing just yoga pants but they really aren't great for bike riding when the temps are in the 40's F and windy.

Pass Days 0/3My strategy is implementation intention.
I would really like no pass days this month and earn a trophy! 😁
I want to post here after I complete a workout. If I post in here early before the day ends then I’m going to be more motivated to do whatever it takes to keep that statement true.
Posting early will also cut down my screen time at night trying to log. Which in turn feeds into my goal of getting a better night’s rest.
Hopefully November will Firm up my evening and morning routine. If I start to exercise for 20 mins within 20 mins of waking up in the morning, then I don’t have to worry if I got my workout in when it gets later in the day.
My goal is Treat thanksgiving like a “regular day”—use smaller plate, eat and enjoy food but not go hog wild. There will be left overs.
Thank you for the tips @SummerSkier
Thank you for the vulnerability @Mrs_Hoffer and @biketheworld AND OTHERS!
This journey is not linear and it’s good to keep a reminder of that.
It’s also kind to share in each other’s suffering and how to overcome obstacles. Here’s to a new month, my UAC family.6
