    LOL! You have such GREAT images / gifs / movie clips! Do I detect a "like dogs" common theme between this and the "dogs on treadmills" ? ;)

    Finally! The oppressive humidity that has been like a wet blanket here for the last several weeks was swept away by a refreshing cool dry windy cold front. Played my weekly 9 holes of golf with my cousin - walking, carrying the clubs.

    Exercise? Yes, 20 minutes low impact aeorobics. Hiked a lot in the last month...but upper body needs more conditioning.
    Calories? Under by a good margin. May need a snack later this evening.
    Tracked? Yes

    Yes..    Very Long Cardio!

    Yes to the weekend! Golfing in Boca Raton Florida. Walking both days..no cart 18 holes each day. Lots of calorie burning! It's a tournament too...competition burns even more calories!

    Opted to do another 20 minutes of low impact aerobics tonight. A little chilly for a walk...think I need to acclimate to this weather in the northeast, again!

    So sad :'( for everyone in the path of Hurricane Michael. Hope anyone on MFP from the area is OK. Hugs to all of you!

    True confession: I usually choose when to "spend' a pass day, but not today. At both lunch and dinner, I was with a loved one and just ate too much food.
    My bad..Pass Day 2 for this month.

    We visited all of the Big 5 National Parks in Utah...beautiful not-to-miss scenery...but very dusty hiking trails! We spent 3 nights at the lesser visited Capitol Reef National Park. Loved their rural agricultural theme and the homemade pies (cherry, apple, peach, strawberry rhubarb) purchased at the Gifford Homestead were just outstanding.

    So, no winner here... pass again... but this time, and could happen again tomorrow, was for a cause... my niece is getting married tomorrow. I drove 9 hours to TN, and then had beer and fish tacos with a whole bunch of family and her new family too. So, failed the challenge, but still feeling OK with that decision. It was important to me to fully participate in this particular celebration. I’ll be back on plan on Sunday. This was fun. May try it again :smile:

    Once-in-a-lifetime events (even if they are multi-day) are well worth it! And making conscious decisions, like fully participating in these special events, is what this UAC is supposed to help foster. So good on you for for already anticipating being back on plan on Sunday.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 2 walks (before and after supper) to (two different) stores - around - back home. Combined total ~40 minutes
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. And didn't eat back exercise calories
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

    This challenge is going great so far in forcing awareness about things like bypassing the bowl of gum-drops that sits right outside the records room I am going in and out of multiple times per day .... good training for when the bowls of Halloween candy start showing up there before and after Oct 31!

    You know, I put "gum-drops" in the food database just to see .... and I was SHOCKED by the suger levels! That made them even easier to avoid! But now there are signs all over about "Buy Laura Secord Chocolate and support school band trip!" .... 1 (oversized) bar = MORE than 300 calories all by itself. And you can guess how much of that would be sugar + fat with not much else in there.
