Yesterday, @readyornot1234 kindly shared this post on the MFP Challenge Board May UAC invitation
I am so thankful for the UAC. I am the “there’s always tomorrow” type. I tend to gain and lose the same 30-50 pounds every 2 years. I usually don’t try to start losing until spring (about May) and continue through September. I then spend all fall and winter hibernating with comfort foods. Not this year! I joined the UAC in January and am happy to report that I did not gain all of my winter weight. If fact, I am lower now than I’ve been for quite some time. Almost to a normal weight according to BMI charts. I have used 3 pass days this month. If I get another, I won’t make the winner’s circle but I will only have about 4 and not 30. With each month, I get closer to the winner’s circle but more than that, the warmth and encouragement of this group has helped me to consistently eat well, track what I eat and drink, exercise at least 20 minutes a day, and lose weight. I now see why I’ve yo-yo’d so much. I am so happy I found this group.
Dear readyornot1234, Thank you so much,
Rick12 -
Hope you have or had a wonderful Sunday!!!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - a 30 minute outdoor stroll with DH plus enough exergame to make my rainbow and bring my step count up, but not add additional fitbit exercise calories (trying to make the switch to less cardio-cals in prep to switching exercise emphasis to core work in May)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes with all exercise calories left over (not that there were many)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Days goals met: 25
Pass days used: 1 (unplanned)5 -

yes, yes, yes...Kind of an exercise off day but I am going to count entertaining Buddy as exercise.
It isn't hard cardio but my back tells me it is exercise.
That little boy love lasagna but who doesn't?
I often try to get him to pick what he wants to eat or what he wants as a general rule.
It is all about signalling. I get him to signal but I got to respond to his signal so that he knows that it works. The most basic level of communication I guess.
I could easily spoil him and I kind of know that I do.
But this is my time of life for it. His as well.
I wish I could go to Colorado. Sometime I go there and get a little bit feral.
But the snow isn't really melted enough yet for what I have in mind.
Maybe by the time the snow melts the restrictions will be off.

pass day - neighbor brought over lovely food...but I have no idea what is in it... - so, kept portions under control...but really don't know; since we are all so close(ha,ha) I am in a funk today...but I know that's because I stayed up too late...; anyway - I'm going to workout...I've tracked everything - but have not idea if I'm in calorie or not...6

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, walked 90 minutes, plus disinfected the public areas of my workplace for umpteen hours (more than 6 hours) because of the pandemic.
Once again, I'm doing walking meditations the whole time so I have something for myself. For MFP tracking, I cut my calorie burn in half because I believe the numbers from the database are way too high.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, well under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes5 -
Yes x3
Had a giant lunch which put me in negative calories so instead of watching TV I went on a late-afternoon walk and ended up strolling around for 90 minutes. Still in the running for the winner's circle!8 -
@oldDogBiking beautiful wildflower photo. You have a wonderful relationship with little Buddy ((and we now know what his smiling face looks like, from the photo you posted earlier).
@HASWLRS and @snowshoe072 Hope your knees are better soon
I also hope everyone had a peaceful, productive Sunday

I used the extra energy Spring Cleaning pretty much all day long today. I took a few naps and a few breaks. Didn't get all of it done but I got a good chunk done. Tomorrow is another day.
Prayers sent for friends who are sick, in pain, with angst, and struggling for whatever reason.
Hope the day goes a lot better tomorrow.
Take care and be safe all!8 -

Easy day but still at 3 x yes day5

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, two walking videos with weights and one with resistant bands, hamstring and back stretching, foam rolling, and cleaned inside and outside
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, turns out I had more calories left than I thought but just brushed my teeth so the cookies that were dropped off will have to wait until tomorrow.
