Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 2 mile treadmill run + 49 minutes strength this morning
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
This is my Simon -- he's 8 months old and we adopted him in June. We figured if we'd be stuck home, we might as well get another kitten. LOL And he's brought us a lot of happiness in a not-so-happy time.

Yes x 3 for Thursday
Too busy to think about eating today, glad I didn't go over. It would have been easy since I was in autopilot. Still enjoyed an hour of tennis at the end of the day, feels great to sweat.5 -
Yes x 3 slowly inching back where I need to be
(if I were still 5'3" i'd be ~ 2 pounds into "BMI-Normal" and the very upper edge of my maintenance zone. I admitted to the Wii that I am now 5'2" (olde-age spine compression type thing) so I am BMI-25.40 still 2 pounds on the WRONG side of the dividing line between BMI Overweight and BMI Normal, and 3 or so pounds after that to get below middle of maintenance range)
The sun is already behind the houses by 4:30 - 4:45 (after-dark by the time I "commute down the stairs at ~5:00" ) and it seems we don't do the after-supper walks any more. It's gonna feel like a long winter this year ....4 -
Yes, yes, yes
Walking and a mini weight work out
My special animal is my dog. I would post a pix but I have tried pics in the past and have failed so maybe another day. She is a great pyr mix rescue.

Month #2 in the UAC group. Happy with how October went. Did well in the challenge and also took off 5 lbs along the way.
I am expecting November to be a challenging month. I would like to make the winner’s circle again, but at worst, I will accumulate the least number of passes I can. With all that will come at the end of the month (Nov 26 – 29), I need to really stay focused every day leading up to those dates.
For this round, I’m going to start logging my net calories since I think I should be looking into what portion of exercise calories I should be adding in. I have been getting some thoughtful input on this. There is likely going to be some evolution over the month, but I know there is a delicate and individual balance regarding total calories, I will update as I define. Starting the month on the same premise as October, with no exercise calories added.Date: 11/1

Favorite summer activity is likely why I am here - probably "eating". I am not a summer person. Fall is my favorite. I am not a bright sun, heat, humidity, or water person. So of course it made a lot of sense that hubby and I bought a place in the Florida Keys last year. I think I'm going to need to find a better favorite summer "activity". :P

I love animals in general, but am likely mostly a crazy cat lady. Life stops me at two, but I would enjoy more. Here are my boys Han Solo (an abandoned rescue), and Harry (surrendered when owner headed into hospice).
other fun ones, this little guy I rescued in the road of Maine last weekend. He has since made his way to a shelter and now has a happy safe home.
lastly, I think we have been adopted by these two

Thanks for the birthday wishes, UACers ☺️👉🏿👈🏿*snip* I admitted to the Wii that I am now 5'2" (olde-age spine compression type thing) so I am BMI-25.40 *snip*
Have you considered trying something like Gyrotonic or rehabilitation? The former had me walking taller after two sessions but I imagine any focused stretching may have similar results (including inversion therapy/beds which my mother did in the 80s after a back injury).
Perhaps chat with your doctor about this if the height difference concerns you?
Note: I didn't do Gyrotonic to "grow taller" (that was a surprise bonus and I started a thread about it in the main forums) 🤣 However, it is aces for me when it comes to mobility, flexibility and alternative core work.4 -
Day 12
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes....30 min step aerobics, 15 mins stretching and it's Thursday so job #2 at 9Round
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
I'm loving the photos of everyones favourite pets/animals....I'm definitely a dog person. I have a Boston Terrier called Oswald (my little psychopath) who just loves to cuddle. Unfortunately, last year we lost his big, little brother Renzo the Cane Corso. I miss this guy every single day still.

Our 17-1/2 year old “kitten”!
She & her sis (who passed suddenly 5 years ag - still miss her terribly) were left behind my their mom at a friend’s & we were lucky enough to get them a few days later!
I’ve never seen her with her legs crossed like this so I focused on them & took the shot quickly before she moved...only a few days later as I went through my photos Did I see her cute tongue.
This photo is my favorite of all time of her - even out of focus - because it shows her beauty & her impishness😘
Savoring each day...❤️3 -
