    For everyone new and returning, please go to Introductions and introduce yourselves. Some folks are shy and others are not. Please share what you are comfortable sharing. It works best when we share enough that we come to see each other as friends sharing a journey.
    The Number One virtue in the UAC is Accountability. If you choose to be accountable with the group and track; be active and eat less than your chosen limit...You will Succeed!!
    Welcome to the UAC team!

    Morning Rick so first day yesterday at the other branch. LOL Main branch is very strict and pretty busy this one is laid back and they are hilarious. I have made a decision I don't mind helping out but I really like structure so the main office is where I need to work.
    exercise is done and I just need to pack a lunch. til later ;)

    Pass Day
    Le sigh. I ate yesterday's dinner after midnight today, ( unos bogo pizza!) So I am already over calories. Dinner is often where I fail for the day. Too much wishful thinking.

    This time of year is tough for me (Halloween, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas). So many opportunities for straying from my eating plan. But, I'm back for November and I did a spinning workout this morning. Thanks, Rick, for your encouragement.

    Only three made it to the winner's circle in October? This might be harder than I thought!

    Pass ....I am so upset I have to pass so early on in this challenge. I Got my letter today saying my position has been abolished! I have worked at a psychiatric hospital as a behavior therapist for the past 25 years and now no more!

    Yesterday I couldn't eat! Crying
    Today I was mad and ate my emotions.

    Tomorrow will be better.

    @jtkatch think of it as a check book you didn't eat the day before which left you with a balance which you ate today. It'll all work out in the end. I believe crying burns calories too. <3 Stay positive it'll all work out.

    Yes x 3 11/1/16

    So sorry to hear it. Sometimes these stresses happen at the worst times. I'm a terrible stress eater, so i definitely know this struggle!
    Stay positive and look forward to new better things to come!

    Wow! It is going to take me a bit to greet you all personally! I have responded to everyone who signed in to the UAC Introductions. I'm glad you are on the team.
    I usually try to reach out and encourage you via your own MFP site.
    My report today:
    Exercise in the morning: 33 minutes at 4 mph, and then in the late afternoon, I spent another 30+ minutes walking in the woods
    Calories: under my limit
    Tracking: Ok

    What??! What a shock this must be, not to mention insulting and stressful. I can only hope that this turn of events turns into an opportunity for you that you didn't even know you wanted. We are routing for you!

    I did a 2.5 hour hike today at the Niagara Falls gorge. Lots of stairs ascending and descending. I'm sure I burnt off the Halloween candy I had last night!

    I tracked my food and stayed in my calorie goal for the day. :)

    Hi Ms. H,
    For some reason, I cannot connect to your site via the usual process. Thank you for joining the UAC Team!
    Best wishes, RangerRickL, just, Rick

    My exercise was the elliptical for 20 mins at 430 am and mowing/raking leaves for 90 mins tonight. I tracked absolutely everything and came in 300 under my calorie goal (like that ever happens...) Thought about having a mini candy bar since I have "spare" calories, but I'm still full from my spicy chicken dinner and I don't want to risk a sugar binge. I refilled my water bottle and closed the kitchen for the night instead.

    @jtkatch , I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your job! My training is in psych, too. I used to work in an outpatient children's clinic associated with the psychiatric hospital and they shut it down because of budget cuts as well. Hang in there!
