Ok! It's December 8. That may not seem to be a big deal, but we know from past experience that if you are still reporting in, then you are on your way to Success!
You would be amazed at how many people begin the UAC and don't make it this far. Since you are still with us! Hurrah for you!
Well done!

@w8goal4life My daughter went to RIT She is now doing her graduate studies at UB. I never minded the drive to Rochester except for winter break that wide open thru way was terrifying when a storm would hit. We lucked out too every town around us got hit but we only got 6 inches. my parents are 10 minutes from me and they have 2 feet. It's like the wind picked up and scooted those snow clouds out of the way Yep I am happy as my husband just made a path so I could get to the house. I said why didn't you shovel more and he said because you do it.
Well today is my long day time to get ready for work. Have a great day!!3 -

Two walks today. First to go flying (3km - not tracked). Second for walking (tracked). Well over 10,000 steps.

(Still reporting in after 5 months

It is interesting to look at the number of posts in each day as the month goes by. This month has had so far: 54, 44, 52, 42, 44, 36, 29. This is a normal progression. By the end of the month, UAC often has less than 20 per day.
Daily consistency is what makes this challenge the hardest of any on MFP. The difference is that if you maintain it, you are more likely to succeed in your long term weight / health management than from any other challenge.
@pears734. Summed it up beautifully on December 6.Creating healthy habits is just like exercising a muscle, the more healthy decisions you make, the stronger your will to make those same decisions again. Just because you have a bad day, doesn't mean you failed. Just let it go and try again next time. It may take time, but practicing healthy habits will turn into a lifestyle on its own.
This is what UAC and MFP is really about. Healthy habits. (and great people who help each other.)
I also love reading how everyone is doing. So many are doing so well so far this month.

Joints are still aching, found a rub that helps a little. Will be talking to Neurologist about something to help. He took me off of Tylenol and Advil to help alleviate migraines which it has only lessened that by 2 thus last month. I think I would rather have the 2 migraines instead of this constant aching/burning. My pain level has reached the level of 8 per day rather than a consistent and tolerable 5. Thought losing over 75# would help with that, but alas it has not thus far. Arthritis seems to be my nemisis!3 -
Exercise-Yes, but not as much as I would have liked
