In the United States, we celebrate today as a day in which to be thankful for life, love, goodness, family and of course, good food.
I’m thankful for each of you who have chosen to be a part of the UAC!

Yesterday, Rose took this photo of me, Joaquin and his wife, Ana. We were just “chilling” on a very warm and humid beach in Puerto Viejo, Talamanca, Costa Rica. The Caribbean is the ocean behind us.8 -
If you have not yet done so, please include in your post if you expect to be in the November Winners Circle.
Thanks, Rick2 -

In the spirit of start when you can (ie. not put off to tomorrow what you can do today).
Yes x 3 - 3 km walk in 25 minutes.
Build habits and let habits build you.
Even though having gone through tough times both at work and at home for the past 5 months, only gained 10lbs. Still under 22 BMI, so middle of healthy range. UAC habits work.12 -
Good news: lost a significant amount of weight, found a bunch of new healthy recipes I want to try, was able to have just one Keto brownie and resist having more, and made some hypothetical future meal combos and new rules and tips to help me prosper in the weight-loss department.
Bad news: had confusing and misleading options for most of my food today.
Definitely focusing on the good news, though.
I also realized that since I only need to exercise for 20 min. per day, and the TV episodes I watch on the treadmill last about 40 minutes, I can chop them in half to get 2 workouts out of just 1 episode! Plus the time I take 5 times a week to walk my dog!5 -
Exercise was yoga and Jiu Jitsu class (only did part of warm up and some technique because my shoulder wasn't happy). Can't wait until I'm able to do a full class again.
Pretty good food choices and allowed myself a higher goal because I was so low on energy. Thursday is always my hardest day for some reason (and I rarely work a Monday to Friday week, so that shouldn't play into it).
Scale was down just over 2 kgs from yesterday, but as it was up 1.4kgs yesterday, that's only really a half kg drop. All happy to see it go down though.
I'm trying to weigh consistently and log my weight to see what affects it so I can plan better to make weight for competitions.4 -

28th November
Exercise: Yes, at least 90 minutes walking, 30 minutes of it at quite a brisk pace, 45 minutes Stretching Class. Felt really good.
Calories: Yes, stayed under, although I had to use 60 of my 500+ exercise calories, because I'd swapped a perfectly healthy supper within calorie budget for two glasses of red wine and 40g of cheese. It'll stay an exception! I got really frustrated with my partner and lost my food-and-drink cool. How do you guys cope when triggered to revert to comfort food, the wrong kind of food and drink?
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
It had been a busy, but a good day today, until the last bit. Instead of going to my Yoga class tomorrow I'll have to accompany my partner to the (unpleasant) neurologist who diagnosed his Alzheimer's. It was lucky I found out just now about this appointment... The clinic only communicates with 'the patient', which, in the case of Alzheimer's is ludicrous. He doesn't 'get it', lies, denies, or forgets ...
I won't get much exercise tomorrow as I'm travelling to Nice for work in the afternoon. Made a lunchbox though and will do my damndest to get to do at least a 20 minute walk.5 -
3x’s yes- started the day at my home away from home, the gym. Awesome, brutal hour long HIIT class and I pushed and stayed for an hour of spin. Ate back those calories at family dinner. I was good on calories but ate way more carbs then I normally.5

Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 60 mins elliptical. 2 hours easy hike.

Was sunny where I am today, but windy, and the park was packed-I’ve never seen it that busy before. Was inspiring to see so many individuals/families getting some activity mid-day on Thanksgiving!5 -

Beautiful photos above. Costa Rica looks idyllic.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, dog walk plus walking for myself
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No, went way over for Thanksgiving meal, but it was delicious and I'm fine with it. The pumpkin pie threw me waaaaay over.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, as well as I could since I didn't prepare the food
Pass day 2 Which I'm fine with -- I normally don't eat several slices of pie
I expect to make the Winner's Circle for November

@craigo3154 you are right to jump back in. You have been missed! I’m glad that you are here again!2

Yesx3. Only ate the 1 Thanksgiving meal, no dessert but way too much punch
Did 20 min run on the treadmill+5 min walk. Logged it all as well as could be expected. 2 -
Yes x 3

I hope everyone in the US had a Happy Thanksgiving, and everyone outside of the US had a Happy Thursday!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Started the day running a local turkey trot with my hubby. I ran the 10K, he ran the 5K, and we both crushed it.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!2 -

Good to see you @craigo3154!

Tracking yes Calories yes2 -
I feel asleep again! Mid post! I think Thanksgivings is a my favorite holiday, but it is exhausting. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
Yes x 3. We took a family walk on the greenway in the morning for an hour. I planned, cooked, and logged everything. Calories under plan.2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, between walking the dogs (3) and food prep I've got 81 minutes of activity
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Most likely, logged everything but didn't measure so can't be sure
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, I didn't nibble (goal for the day) during food prep and ate everything I wanted to but in small portions, allowed for two desserts that are a must-have on Thanksgiving day ... key lime pie (oldest son's fav) and coconut cake
I got on the scale this morning just to see what the damage might be and was happy to see no gain. Headed to the YMCA with my youngest this morning and looking forward to working out with him.
Too many pass days to be in the winner's circle this month. Congrats to all who did make it and to those who didn't but are still here! That's a win, too!

Ugh...
Snowing... eating...
Do I have to say it out loud?Snow, rain, wind
Going outside - ugh
I am going to have to bite the bullet and go to the gym.
I think I am not going to do spin class like I used to.
I can't run my heart or knees like I used to.
Capitulating to that amount of aging.
I think I will sit on a spin bike and listen to my own music and run at my own pace.
I got 19,000 of climb this month though.
That doesn't get me a Strava merit badge but I improved on last month a little bit.
Not likely going outside for the next couple of days so climbing is done for the month.3 -
Thanksgiving (11/28) and pre-thanksgiving (11/27) pass days! Food and drinks were awesome and my plans went out the window. I need a plan for December!2

Thanksgiving pass day.
Though out of interest I got on the scale this morning and am still less than my wedding weight so that's a win! 3
