Congrats winner circle! Thanks for posting @TerriRichardson112.
I’m starting today but my goal is to aim for champion and show up everyday.
I’m claiming my 3 yeses. I’m walking while typing. Just gotta work on tracking 🤦🏾♀️.
Happy May, UAC fam!8 -
I have pre-logged (except for whichever protein we choose as "supper-meat" ) so off to a good start at getting back into my groove.7

Exercise – yes, bike ride, gym and cardio.
Tracking – yes
Calories – yes
No pass days yet….
It was cold and wet again this morning – ugh!
Busy afternoon – getting my motorhome prepped the first trip of the year. We’re not going far but to an area I don’t know well.
Congratulations to all the Champions – I am planning to join you this month. I have a 2-week holiday away in Kos later in the month so logging/tracking will be difficult.

@ashleycarole86 What a lovely profile pic! 💕
Yes x 3 today. I threw my back out and had Shockwave therapy in both feet today so I am counting grocery shopping and cooking/food prep as my 20 minute intentional exercise today.6 -

A photo of the Toboggan run in Lake Placid my daughter and I had a enjoyable day shopping and a nice late lunch. The run goes out on to Mirror Lake during the winter months something I may have to try next winter. Planning a kayak trip around the lake at some point this summer.
My exercise was walking the streets over 10,000 steps as once you parked you walked with all the construction new HOKA’s and can’t wait to wear them. Did track and log, completed some functional strength training and some meditation.7 -

Welcome new and old members.
Welcome May, 2022!
Welcome Spring (and flowers) for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere and welcome Fall/Autumn (cooler weather) for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere.
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 (I called it "health journey" not "diet"). Whether you are just beginning this health journey, advanced in this process or just maintaining
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
) - These are the facts I like to remind myself every month.
Does it mean that I will not fail? I have learned to forgive myself and give myself the grace I will readily give others. All modern inventions we are enjoying today were created and designed many times. In failing you learn what will not work and what works. Failure gives me opportunity to know myself.
No, it is not about being perfect! But it about forming habits. Habits that will bless me and move me forward in life, it will also bless those around me. Everyone fails at a time in their life.
Therefore, as you join us in this month's UAC, you do not have to be perfect. We are not
There is nothing you are going through that no one in this group has not experienced. You are not the only one out there! This is a very supportive group. We will support you as you learn these habits. Come by everyday, read encouraging, funny, and 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 days and you are here everyday, you are in the Champion's circle. If you have more than 3 pass days please do not disappear. We are all in this together
I like reading about animals. As big as these animals are, they have a secret that we can learn and apply here.
I have shared a lot about the "The Sea Otters". Do you know that "Otter groups are called rafts, and the animals famously hold hands to keep from drifting apart."
https://animals.net/sea-otter/
https://oceana.ca/en/marine-life/sea-otter/
https://northamericannature.com/why-do-otters-hold-hands/
Let's hold unto one another like the Sea Otters. Let's hold each other hands through this month!
(BTW, I have been maintenance for some years).
I will like to add another animal here. Do you know that the Elephant which is one of the bigger animal always in a pack/herd? They are never alone. The bigger ones always surrounds the younger ones.
https://blog.londolozi.com/2020/03/30/how-do-elephants-respond-to-leopards-and-lions/
Lions are not able to attack any elephant and kill it, except that elephant is weak and alone.
Watch this....

I am here because I need your support and you need mine. We need you When we are weak we need each others. When we are lonely we need each other. When we are hurting we need each other.
You can do it! We can successfully go through this month!7 -

@ashleycarole86 What a lovely profile pic! 💕
Yes x 3 today. I threw my back out and had Shockwave therapy in both feet today so I am counting grocery shopping and cooking/food prep as my 20 minute intentional exercise today.
Thanks @Jana_2020
Sorry your back (and therefore you) had to deal with that today
Did the Shockwave therapy help a fair amount?
Hope you feel better soon1
