@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.

October 8
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.
@Gus130 Your positive news about your energy and calories makes me smile with joy,!!1 -
Thanks to each and every one of you has expressed your concern for me and my mother. She is comfortable and communicative but she is very fragile right now.1

@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 -
Calories:under
Track:yes
Exercise: yes 30 min walking2 -
@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.

@RangerRickL Glad to hear your mom is comfortable. Will keep prayers coming your way.1 -
Yes x3 for the 8th
@srufus it's not always about succeeding its about reprogramming your whole thought process. Don't get defeated just take it one day at a time and from now on Don't think of the pass days. Just check in with how you have done.

@RangerRickL- Happy to hear your mom is resting comfortably. It is a difficult time.
@srufus - You can still stay in the group. It's about working on change.
@Dosse1320 - Glad your daughter was OK and had no injuries.

Tracking ...
I am actually doing better at tracking than I am at signing in. In my defense I have been sleeping out in the woods. Got data but I just can't type on that silly little andriod keypad.
I usually lose weight when I am camping. I was up a couple of pounds a couple of weeks ago and couldn't quite shake them in my regular environment. So I revert to food box tracking.
If it ain't in the food box there ain't nothing to eat.
Food box starts with 3 bananas, 4 apples, 6 belvita protein bars, 6 boiled eggs, 12 slices of sourdough bread and 6 single serve salmon envelope.
I thought I was going to talk about how little food that is but that is actually a lot of food.
But camping is pretty active. Got some biking but not too ambitious. But I was either hiking or biking pretty much continuously.
- Indian Summer perfect days of it. Man o man! I envisioned being a cowboy in the high country in the fall and though I would try sleeping under a tarp the first night. That didn't pan out. The air had moisture hence condensation got on my tarp, surprisingly both sides. Towards morning it turned to frost. Subsequent nights I put up my pup tent. Keep that frost on the outside where it is supposed to be.
- Pretty good camping spot. I was in a clearing at 10,000 feet. The sun hit that spot as soon as it rose over the distant ridge. Still I would have a breakfast fire and cook my coffee.
- It was so warm in my spot in the sun I forgot that the air was cold. Got on my bike and took off wearing only a cotton layer. The minute you go in the shade or the minute you get the air moving past you the shocking reminder, that ain't warm air. Water in all of the puddles had ice. Ice in the shade wasn't melting.
- But I got down some pounds
- Oh, and I heard an Elk Bugling in the pre-dawn hour while sleeping in my tarp. Talking to hunters in the following days. They were pretty much attentive to that story.
