I am!

Work from home. Very late night packing for Drone Racing National Championships.
Found a problem with one of my quads that needed fixing at the last minute. Ended up getting to bed after 1:00am.

Walk before 4 hour flight to Perth for Drone Racing National Championships.
Left 1:00pm, arrived Perth 2:00pm (4 hour later - 3 hour timezone change).
After arriving, checked into hotel, then helped with track setup for 3 hours, then when to party and checking for comp.
Practice and first rounds of qualifying tomorrow. I expect to be the slowest qualifier on the track, but will be happy just to post a time (2 laps on a difficult track in a city that is known for wind).
November 23
Exercised?: Yes (over 13,000 steps).

Tracked?: Yes
First day of practice and qualifying.
I posted a time, I am not last, I still have working quads.
I have exceeded my goals for this trip. Anything more is just bonus.
I also managed to help a few others sort out issues with their quads and got to have a walk around some of Fremantle Perth.
Been a good day.8 -

Today was planned pass x 2, as it was the bigger of the two days of Thanksgiving for my family. Today I nibbled much more and indulged in bites of all the things. I haven't felt full like this for a while, it was uncomfortable! Glad its over.....3

Exercise-yes
Calories-I don’t know
Tracked-no1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 42 minutes on the mini-trampoline, and was surprised to realize that I will be finishing this iteration of my exergame tomorrow. Time to think of some December-ish names for my two characters.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - without needing the exercise calories because we didn't go out to supper after all (restaurant tooooooooo full due to Black Friday Shoppers grabbing a bite.)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes - and it took some creative choices after having saved up so many calories from earlier in the day for the "restaurant meal including dessert that didn't happen".1 -

...and also that @jan110144 and @BMcC9 are soon to join us in maintenance. It is great to have others on board and participating in UAC who recognize that the goal achieved is not "the end."
I will be curious if you find maintenance requires the same diligence as losing. I find that weight is not static and my nutrition plan (notice I did not use the word "diet" which in my book is no better than any other 4 letter word) and various components thereof require continual modest adjustments - sometimes daily (i.e. calories up, calories down, exercise up, exercise down, water up, water down) to maintain a healthy balance. Tracking/logging seems to be a given for continued success, at least for me.
Thank you @w8goal4life! Yes, I believe Rock & Craig are both in maintenance, too.
I am curious too! I have tracked/logged all of my food for a long time now. I will never stop. I have an app that computes my daily deficit/surplus based on my Apple Watch & another app that logs to Apple Health.
Best,
I have been in maintenance for a over 8yrs. For me tracking, exercises, mindset that food is a fuel for my body. If I am kind to my body, it will serve me very well. I have no explanation, apology to anybody for the way I have chosen to take care my body (my earthly, precious, and superior car).
@MadisonMolly2017 -- Adjust your MFP settings to maintenance, continue tracking, exercises, etc., for the next few weeks and see how it affect your weight. Adjust as needed until you see you weight within the range set by you and your doctor.
- Surround yourself with like minded people. That is why I am in this group. UAC.
- Remind yourself that this is a life style. It is okay, there is nothing wrong with it. There is no recess after you have reach your goal. (I have known people who have sabotage their goal by not recognizing that this is a life style)
- Keep eating your healthy stuff, continue your good habits. People around will be influence by you.
- Continue in whatever habits got you to your goal. They will become second nature to you.
- Never beat yourself when you fall off the wagon. Get up, forgive yourself, and continue.
- Continue learning. I am always reading, etc.
Any other person with maintenance info? Please add to this list and let all learn.
