Let's take a tour of the UAC FAQs...here are the first 5!
1. Do I have to lose weight in order to win the Ultimate Accountability Challenge?
No. You just need to exercise every day, eat within your calorie budget every day, track everything you consume every day for the entire month and check in at least every three days.
2. If I'm trying to maintain or gain weight, can I join the Ultimate Accountability Challenge?
Yes. Although many people who join this challenge are trying to lose weight, those who want to use this challenge to gain or maintain weight are welcome. Members still need to exercise, have a calorie goal, track everything consumed and report for every day of the entire month.
3. What counts as exercise?
Nearly all physical activity counts as exercise. That includes walking, cleaning your house, playing tag with the kids, walking your dog, etc. This doesn't mean you should do the bare minimum every day if you're capable of much more. If you want results, you have to challenge yourself, but for the purpose of the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, 20 minutes of any kind of exercise will suffice.
4. What if I only go five calories over budget? Or one calorie over budget?
We are all adults here. Frankly, it's up to you to make your own decision about your calorie limit and then adhere to your own rules. You keep track of your own days and your own fulfillment of the Thoughtful Healthy Habits of the UAC.
5. What if I forget to track something I've consumed, but I remember later and update my food diary?
If, for any reason, you forget to include something in your food diary, but you later remember, you should add the item to your food diary.7 -
I think this is the first time ive been this early
Living in Aust has its perks!
Yes x 3 Today. Smashed today. Very happy with myself!9 -
A very good day even if it included far too much guano (Penguin poo) but that’s part of the job. Exercise was morning rehab session and sunset beachfront walk. Very busy day at work which includes cleaning up a couple of penguin nests. We normally clean them as soon as we pull the chicks but these two are too close together and when we pulled one set of chicks the other has eggs and vice versa. Finally able to clean it and it was a thick pile of grossness. Luckily my friend dropped her glasses in the pool so I had to go for a swim which washed all the worst of the grossness of me. It’s impossible to stay clean while doing something like that. Hoping to get in the water with the seals tomorrow! Spring is shinning brightly for a couple of days so I am capatilizing on it.
Food choices were good until the evening but it’s all tracked and under goal so the treats were not too bad. Oh and we also unloaded another tonne of fish, I mean a literal tonne, not just saying that cos it was lots. In fact it may have been more than 1000kgs. The crazy thing is, that will only last a month or so.12 -
