    Also, I posted this in introductions, but thought I would add it here too:

    I will be doing some of the regular admin posts this month, taking over temporarily from @Mrs_Hoffer who has to let real life take precedence for a little while.

    I would urge all of you to take a look at the Volunteer Schedule: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10862844/may-volunteer-schedule#latest
    And think about signing up for a day. I was intimidated for a long time about signing up to volunteer - I felt like only the smart people who had succeeded in weight loss were allowed to volunteer for this group.
    The truth is that this group needs everyone's help to run. Signing up to post the topic for a day just means that you start off the thread (either early in the morning or the night before) either with the already picked topic or with a topic of your choice - could be as simple as a silly gif or friendly hello, or it can be a question you're wondering about or request for stories/thoughts. I've found it very fulfilling and, quite selfishly, it has helped my learning a lot to be able to ask what I am most wondering about.

    Looks like we still need cheerleaders for Sundays as well - that just means you read everyone's posts every Sunday - so checking in a few times - and comment to encourage people.

    To sign up, just go to the link and leave a comment with what you are willing to do. @Mrs_Hoffer is away this weekend I think so it may be a bit before you officially get on the list, so be patient.

    Welcome back Diane! You have been missed and it will be wonderful to see your posts again. I know that sensation of malaise and burnout and it truly sucks. 🫤 But spring has sprung and it is so much more enjoyable to get outside now. Those activity minutes are somehow easier to achieve with longer days of daylight (well, for me anyway). So happy you are here. @biketheworld 🥰

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, tried a new YouTube channel Senior Fitness with Meredith. I tried a seated one.
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No. Birthday celebration for my granddaughter who is turning 4.
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

    1 pass day used.
    Made some veggie soup for lunch this week.

    Congratulations to all the winners for April. Welcome to the new month.

    Strength work tai chi meditation all done.
    Tracked logged let’s do this in May! Welcome new and returning UAC’ers best of luck this month

    Way to get it done Kate! Keep meaning to ask you — how did you get started with Tai Chi? A class or are there videos to help one start out? It looks like such excellent exercise for balance. @snowshoe072

    Today was a super active day. An 8 mile run this morning. Weeding. A 1.6 mile slow walk this afternoon to make sure my legs still worked. Pre logged so tracking complete. A small cut today on calories goal met.

    Congrats to all the winners from April. It’s definitely not as easy as it might first appear. Keeping track of the folks who qualified last month was a real eye opener on just how difficult. 15 winners out of about 50 folks who joined and 40 or so who started. 😳👏😳

    Let’s have fun this month and enjoy every day for how it plays.

    Well done on a super day today bON! That was quite a drop in the number of people joined to those who started, and then those who finished. It felt very “slim” there at the end of April. Quietest month since I joined I think. But lots of activity on here today starting out May so perhaps it will be a successful month for many. @SummerSkier

    Sunday May 1
    ✅ Exercise 11.6 km walk; gardening: spring clean up in the perennial beds (it is finally warm enough to remove the protective dead matter) 🌱🌱🌱 Lots of green shoots starting to emerge. Goodness I am glad it is spring (I know I have mentioned this many times —
    bear with me. 🥰
    ✅ Tracked it all: dinner of whole wheat pasta with homemade tomato sauce and lean beef meatballs sure was a high calorie meal 🥸 Good thing it was so delicious and filling.
    ✅ Calories under deficit allocation: working hard this month to refrain from eating my exercise calories, if possible. I will not go hungry, which means making good choices, particularly for veggies, fibre, and protein.

    Wishing everyone a very good month of success ahead. 🌟
