This!. I kmow that I have found it very important to make sure I eat enough. Eating back a portion of exercise calories is crucial. I always focus on net calories, not gross. When I do this, I lose at a fairly consistent rate (only a few weeks with no scale movement) and I don't have issues with cravings or energy.2 -
Yes to all three
three over 9000 steps today. Christmas shopping with the grand kids. An awesome day 3 -
Dec. 8
Exercise: Yes, just 30minutes strength
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes
Loved RangerRick's message of the day, when I quit UAC Oct-Nov it was cuz I thoguht "oh well, I have all these pass days, I'm not doing any good, what's the point of being here if it's a challenge?" but I'm failing no one but myself if I give up over a couple mistakes.
This place is as much of a support group as it is a challenge

Pass day #1 for me.1 -
Today was a great day. I had dinner with my closest friends and their spouses at the Capital Grille in Chestnut Hill
I purposely chose my calories throughout the day in hopes of staying on plan. I am sad to say that the Caesar salad I ate with dinner through me over my goal. I did not have dessert or appetizers. The salad had 770 calories according to MyFitnessPal
So I have to take a pass. However I did walk the dog for 40 min and log everything!5 -
Drove 500 km home yesterday.
Yes to all 3! Made up for the sitting by taking new dog and old dog on an introductory walk for 40 min.2 -

Pass day 2
I wasn't going to come back and mark my 3 days as pass days till I read this, its easier to give up and join the challenge again next month but your post changed my mind.Thank you !RangerRickL wrote: »
Okay, let's talk about the 3 Pass day rule. If you only have 3 Pass days in the month of December, then you will be listed as a Winner's Circle Qualifier. It's a big deal since it's pretty hard to qualify.
But, if you have more than 3 Pass Days, you don't have to leave the team!!!!
If you are moving forward and you want to develop the thoughtful habits of a winner...stick with the team!!
We don't kick anyone off the team.

Date: December 8th
Yes x 3
Had a very busy weekend but managed my exercise and tracking goals, in no small part thanks to this group! I had to adjust my expectations to maintenance as opposed to dropping a couple of pounds before Christmas but my BMI is in the lower range of healthy already and am a-ok with the status quo as long as I don't gain.2 -
Yes x3
Today was a little rougher only because of finals starting2
