Hi all! I'm starting again after getting lazy last month and gaining again. As the post says, "make changes, not excuses," so here I go!
Exercise? Yes, walking, but not my intended workouts. Not sure if I should count it.
Calories? Yes, though I will be lowering my calories over the course of the month so hopefully this will be the most I eat.
Tracking? Yes4 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

Exercise – yes (20m intermittent movement)
Tracked – yes
Calories – yes
No pass days yet.3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? No
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? NoNot a great start to the month with 2 pass days already. My big goal for this month was to not have "3 no" days, but I've already got one. I know there are days that work gets busy and I don't get to a workout (and I'm up too late to commit to morning workouts), but at least those days, I can make sure to log and stay in my calories. On weekends, I know I struggle to log, which usually results in being over calories, and I like the little mental break, but I want to really focus on getting some exercise in on those days so I can have at least 1 "yes". If I can start here, then maybe I can work towards that winner's circle in the future.4 -

Welcome back Beej! We missed you and are so happy to see you back here. I loved reading that your retirement is now less than a year away. Hoping spring in Ottawa is treating you well. Snow snow and more snow here….I have been away from the UAC discipline for quite a while, and this month I am focusing on re-establishing the core habits.

This is exactly how it is done Sarah! 🥰 Set yourself up for success — even with one of the three accountabilities and keep at it. You are the only one to chart the course for you and keeping engaged and working towards your health is the most important of all the accountabilities. Looking forward to seeing your daily posts this month. Sending you encouragement and support. 🤗 @brisingr863 -

Tracking? Yes
Welcome back to your fresh start and congratulations on making the decision to make changes to best support your health! 🥰
You have every right to change your exercise plan for the day and do walking instead of what you originally planned. Just like you will change your food choices from anything you pre-tracked or planned to something that works better — for whatever reason. You are accountable to you. Not to us.
I think of the UAC as the space to share my sense of accountability to myself. So if I changed the plan for exercise or food or drink, I only need to report whether, at the end of the day, I am good with myself. And only I (or in your case, you) can know that. So as you decide when, how, and if to lower your calories as the month passes, what you are sharing with us is whether you are under the target you set for yourself. If it helps you to share that target with us, then do so and we can encourage you if you need that support. We are here to help you in wherever way we can to your success.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! 🌟3 -

Well done posting this Sunday! Are the birthday celebrations continuing? We joke in my family that birthdays are a week long celebration and are called the “Festival of ________ (insert name here)”…. My sister and I share the same birthday one year apart (Irish twins)…. She enjoys the festival so it is always named after her. 🤪
Turning 40 is a big deal and I think my forties were my favourite decade! 🌟4️⃣0️⃣🌟
Have a lovely week Donna @donna25trinity3 -

Hi Julie - @jamcnewman - we were visiting my younger daughter who nominally lives about 3.5 hour drive away. However, a couple of required stops and bad Friday traffic made it a 6 hour trip there and a 4 hour trip home. Both my husband and I put on a little weight after less than 3 days and he even ran a 25K!
Wedding is on April 22 and we travel out there on the 18th. Just a couple of more weeks to really solidify my UAC habits and hopefully drop a pound or two. I tried on my dress again last week and everything still fits and looks good so I don't want to jinx that. :-)2 -
