Sometimes I find a quote that really hits me.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the UAC, but it does trigger thoughtfulness.

I am still around - reading and lurking more that daily reporting .... so don't feel I should be a "champion" this time round.
I AM cheered by Dory's daily adventures - ("HOW did the little penguin get out?? / Glad I went to the goodby party after all, 'cause I found our missing non-venomous snake ... ") and also how well all of you-all are doing as both Regular-Reporting Champions and on-your-way-to Winners Circle qualifiers.
what follows in the spoiler is a "pout - pout - pout" (nothing truly major can be pin-pointed as wrong besides "work-pace fatigue" vs "at least I have steady income AND a safe, well-set- up at-home work-station so what right do I have to complain?" mentality)AM giving myself credit for continuing to log into MFP if nothing else - missing the after-supper outdoor walks from all spring-summer-fall and not really settled on something to compensate (and it is dark so early now - long before 5:00 pm) Dropped the food-intake setting but not enough (down in and/or active-calorie burn combination) to get off where 1am and back to where I where I stabilized from ~April-May until mid-October.
Applying the "eat the frog" strategy to some work-related things, and that is going well so far.
Time I made a commitment to "play Go For The Green" (pre-log) again every day before work. Never mind the rest ... get that steady between now and end of Nov while I dither about what exercise / activity strategy to add in beyond my walking exergame (I still do that) that is more than "stepping" .
(copied to "What's on your mind, today" so that any suggestions re "How I get over a funk" strategies can be gathered ... hope I see your's there ... )11 -
I went over calories today. Not by too much and I could blame it on having to eat certain things before I go away, but really it was just bad planning.
I did log it all and exercise was Pilates reformer class (I know I’m going to be sore tomorrow after those two classes in two days) and evening Jiu Jitsu. I also packed for camping tomorrow!!!
I’ll log in again on Sunday evening or Monday. Phone will be turned off most of the weekend and used for photos only. No signal and no electricity. Yay!!!12 -

@BMcC9 my way of working through a funk is to do something I truly love, whatever that may be. For me, one thing is finding a way to include walking meditations in my day. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.7 -

Groggy and without having drunk my first coffee, I couldn't find the email with the link for my Zoom workout. After 3 min of trying I figured forget it, I'll join them tomorrow (err, and find the right link in advance tonight lol). But instead of forgoing the pre-work workout, I opened my 8fit app.
As for the Isometric Challenge, I haven't been keeping up with it as much as I should but I'm hanging in there!8 -
Yes x's 3 today.
Wishing you all a great Friday - or end to it...depending on where you are in the world! ;D7 -
RangerRick...I don't think I would make the same mistakes again....noooo...I would like to think that I would make different mistakes the 2nd time around. Thanks for that thought provoking statement... So - there's the lesson... don't keep doing the same thing..expecting different results... ;D

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

you have mentioned "walking meditations" before from time to time ... can you explain more fully? (or point to getting started youtubes or readings or something?)
@BMcC9 I've practiced meditation all of my adult life. It has enriched my life beyond measure. People practice it in different ways for different reasons. I'll put some thoughts together on what I do and why and post them on the What's on Your Mind forum later today or tomorrow -- and hope they're helpful.5 -

thank you. any idea to help me even wrap my head around the concepts would be a start (i have NOT "practiced meditation all my adult life" so don't even have a sense of a stationary variant to adapt to walking .... although I am pretty sure the "meditate via movement" is likely to be more my personality style-fit. I can get fairly zen with fitting free-form movements "suits the mood" music (jill of all dance styles, mistress of none my whole life); so "fusion" is "always danced like that" for me.)6
