@RangerRickL. is still away, so I'll kick of the 8th.
You don't need a perfect plan. As long as it moves you in the right direction for tomorrow; that is usually good enough.
You can always try make a better plan tomorrow.
UAC may not be a perfect plan for everyone, but it's a darn sight better than what I see the most of people outside of UAC doing.

Exercised?: Yes. Walked 5 Km in 38 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Early walk, reasonable pace.
Another walk with wife later in the day (at her pace). She has finally asked me to help her with weight management (and working on increasing insulin sensitivity - to help reduce type 2 medication). She sees what I have done for me has worked (and I am not evangelical about it). Happy to help those that ask, but they have to want it. No good just me wanting it for them.
On to the home made ice-cream for dessert again now
(pavlova finished for a while).
Claimed the damage to the car on insurance ({that is what insurance is for} and filed a police report). Excess is a pain (expense I didn't need), but a DIY removal would destroy the paintwork on a 25yo car (clear coat is probably already mostly worn away). Will see what happens from here. Likely to be without second car for a week or two. If insurance writes it off, will then need to look for a replacement car. Beyond angry with the vandal(s).
@LoraineGB. and @trixsey1. It's nice to have someone listen. Thank you.

Glad you sorted it out with the police Craig, and it's now in the hands of your insurance company. Such a pain and so damn annoying - something I'm sure you and your wife can both do without.

Been for a bike ride this morning, then had a walk. After yesterday's hike I was quite achy this morning, lol, but soon loosened up when I got going.
Gonna have a rest day tomorrow, but will still do my daily jog and walk with the woofies.
Just cooking the evening meal now, and all logged and tracked for the day.
Hope everyone has had a fun Sunday.

@craigo3154 I understand your "beyond angry" feelings towards your vandalized car.
My daughter was rear ended by a drunk 50 year old man in a corvette 2 weeks ago. It caused a 4 car pile up. No one was hurt/ no whip lash. However, her car was totalled. Very very upsetting!!! They(my daughter and husband) borrowed one of our cars for a week and had a free rental for another week. They just found and bought a used car 2 days ago. Can.'really believe there r still drunk drivers out there ( the accident happened in the afternoon in a construction zone). Unbelievable!!!!1 -

@craigo3154 Thanks for all you do to encourage and support me & every one of the UAC team members. I am very sad to learn that you have been financially and emotionally attacked by vandals.

@craigo3154 : Sorry to hear that your car was vandalised and I do hope insurance pays.
As for me, I am going to call today Pass Day 3. I just started this challenge on 2nd and by 8th I have used up all my pass days. I feel so disappointed in myself. Everything was ok, I had my own pace till mid august and then I moved and its like I can no longer find my feet. Either I don't track or I easily go over my goal. I really want to continue till the end of the month, that seems really challenging at this point of time. I hope I make it tomorrow. Will take one day at a time.1 -

@RangerRickL Happy to hear your mom is resting comfortably. This has been a very emotional and physically demanding time for you. Hard when one's parents become old and fragile. Thinking of u.
