Sheesh. I had written a response to @craigo3154's great question but not sure what happened.
Quick recap. My husband and I did the low fat diet for years. It started in 1994 when my mom had bypass surgery and we certainly did not want to get heart disease. Fast forward today. I have lost heart with all the claims of what the best diet is. Very overwhelming and confusing. Our diet is to eat everything but in moderation.2 -
It's Wednesday and I got 10,000 steps in today. My Garmin let me know this morning that my past Wednesdays show a pattern of low activity. I was so stunned. Yikes. I got on the treadmill and did almost 80 minutes of walking. My Garmin should have good things to report back to me next Wednesday. Yay!!1

There was an article in the NY Times this week saying that counting calories is bad for weight loss. Geez, it's the only thing that worked for me. When I don't log calories, my weight just keeps creeps up and up. Since I've been logging on UAC I've been losing since July, and now am at maintenance for the last month. So far so good.
Yes x 3 today. I didn't want to exercise after work, but figured I'd better for this challenge, and ended up walking 45 min. I feel better as a result.0 -
@120maggie Sending all good wishes to you and your husband, and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.0

@glimjy So sorry you had car trouble - but think of the benefits of that brisk walk! I do empathise - my car is "hors de combat" awaiting parts so I am walking everywhere at the moment. Not too bad as long as it's not raining, but going out involves a steep twisting downhill from my house, with the corresponding uphill on my return. Hope your car is OK soon.1

Sounds like everyone's doing great this month. Well done to you all!
Did another 10 mile walk yesterday (15th Nov), including a short 30min walk with the dogs. Bless them, they have missed their walkies. Was supposed to give it a couple more days, but I put a waterproof wrap over her bandage on her paw so no muck could get inside and we stuck to the flat easy trail for half hour. Bathed her when we got back and all is well. I will give them a miss today and take them again tomorrow for the same amount of time. By next week we should be walking the trails as normal.
Woke this morning full of cold and a sore throat. Thank my son for that - looks like he was kind enough to pass it along!
All tracked and logged for the 15th.

Pass Day 1
Allthough I was below calories if I count my excercise calories I like to stay below my allowance without counting the burn. Hence, the pass day.
Everything logged
Walk for 30 minutes and static bike 20 minutes.
As this is my first month in the UAC I'm not sure if this means I have failed?
Hope you have a good day/ evening all
@dejavuohlala. Not failed at all. Doing great.
UAC allows 3 pass days a month and still be credited as part of the month's winners circle.
Seems easy, but a lot find keeping less than 4 pass days in a month hard.
Keep up the great work.

Very busy day today. I just couldn't fit the time in to exercise with everything I had to do, so, as a result, my eating was bad. I need to stop the perfectionistic thinking. If I can't exercise for a day, I must at least try to stay within my calories.0
