    Just to clarify: The Winner's Circle is a great goal.
    As long as you are working to build the great UAC healthy habits, you don't need to leave the UAC even when you have more than 3 Pass days/month.
    It's against the Doctor's orders!!!

    I know.. but unfortunately I am out of passes.. no winners circle this month!

    3 yesses today. A windy 15km bike with a partially flat tire! Totally forgot to fill it before I headed out. Rode fine, just a bit more resistance than usual.

    @RangerRickL: I love the Dr. Who reference! Happy Birthday Weekend to you!
    @pribud: Your enthusiasm is so fun! Congrats on your NSV!
    @lamlam2013: Happy Anniversary!
    @Slimpossible007: I hope you heal quickly!

    My husband took off today on a 3 week overseas vacation with his 88 year old mom. She's really an inspiration; she takes Tai Chi and tap dancing, plus volunteers at a local food bank! I've cleaned out the fridge and freezer of all junk food and had tons of time to exercise.
    Yes x 3! :)

    A gorgeous day in Tacoma! It rained just a little in the middle of the night and our air is finally feeling cleaner. First day I have been able to see Mt. Rainier since the wildfires began in B.C.

    Exercise~ Daily Stretch and then Strong Curves Program today. Added weight to my Bench Press and Dead Lifts, but still struggling with lunges. My right knee started hurting pretty bad. I decided I would ditch the lunges and just do some squats. Nope-same pain in right knee. Finished everything else, but not pushing it on the knee issue. Also did 195 crunches for the Ab Challenge that I joined for this month. I am really not finding it all that challenging, but I will finish it because I am not a quitter.

    Tracking~all on track according to my phone! The laptop version of MFP is trying to say I went over by one. I obviously need a new laptop!

    Calories-0 left

    Did not weigh today after the pizza last night. Even though the pizza fit my calories, I knew the second I woke up that I was retaining water. I do not do well with too much salt at all! Weighing in first thing tomorrow to make sure I am still in my maintenance range.

    Yes x3

    I took the kids swimming only to find that the pool has changed their timetable and it was adults only lane swim... Grrr, two disappointed kids and one disappointed dad. Too much on today to go back later.
    3 Hours of house work, I'm definitely counting it as it really got my heart rate up.
    Afternoon on the beach with friends, and we had some small kids in tow so the 30 min round trip actually took about an hour, but it still counts...
    Fish and Chips with two portions of mushy peas (I should have checked who actually wanted them before ordering!) and a single beer but thanks to that housework I'm still on target for Calories.

    My daily weigh in was a disappointment, flat/up for the last 5 days. But I'm learning better expectations, I'm still averaging 1.5lbs a week, which is more than I should expect on a average deficit of 465 cal for that same period (So I need to expect progress to slow down further). I'm just starting to weight train (plus plenty of salt on that fish and chips) so I'm pretty sure that it's changes in water that are causing this current stall, I know that if I keep consistent on the calories good things will happen. Yes, I think I actually do believe it this time.

    Sorry, I am catching up on the discussions. I am back in the U.S. My friends and I had an amazing trip hiking the Canadian Rockies!

    Exercise? Yes; 4+ hours of hiking
    Calories? Yes
    Tracking? Yes

    On this day, we hiked the Johnson Canyon. It was another long, uphill hike, but the view at the end was incredible! It was a difficult climb, and unfortunately, I saw many people struggling to keep up. At one point, I saw a man pressuring his little girl (no older than 7) to continue on the hike, even though she was crying of exhaustion. I can't pretend to know their situation, or even what it must be like to be a parent. I support parents who want to instill healthy habits into their children's lives. However, my philosophy is to enjoy my exercise. I feel that if I push myself too far, I will quit and spiral into a no exercise lifestyle. When I saw this little girl, my heart broke for her. I feel like that kind of exposure will not only ruin her outlook on exercise, but for enjoying the outdoors altogether. Sorry, I'll step off of my soap box. It is just a prominent memory from that day, and I felt that this group may understand where I am coming from and may offer their own opinions on the matter.

    @pears734 Fantastic Hiking, I’m a little bit jealous. I love hiking now but I still remember being dragged over a high moor on a hot day with insufficient drink as a school child. I know that my kids will moan and sometimes need to be pushed a little to get past some hard effort but it's easy to confuse pushing a kid for their sake with a selfish desire to reach the goal. I was proud to walk up Snowdon with my Son (aged 10) and I was prepared to turn round part way if needed but in fact he set a slightly faster pace than me!. I didn't take my daughter (7) because I thought it would be too much for her. Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales at just over 1000m (3500ft) and is very touristy, so has lots of well established trails.
