Since I try to read everyone's posts, I also see how many of us continue to post. Even in normal times, November and December of each year, many of those who started have left the room.
Please be very proud of yourself!!
If you are still posting, you are truly a Champion!!
Thank you,

I am impressed by everyone who may not have met the 3 passes but continues to participate. For me when I am struggling I have 2 big goblets which I use to help me for several years. One is filled with marbles for all the "good" days and the other has just 2 marbles in it from the 'bad" days. It helps to put things in perspective and remind us that a bad day or three or 4 does NOT undo all the good days. What's important is the marathon and not the sprint.14

Travel day number two back home - heavy b&b breakfast combined with travel snacking and minimal swim laps this morning means I’m taking my third and final pass day for November today. Let’s see if I survive turkey day or not.

just thought I would mention that we already have some new members on the December UAC "What's On Your Mind" and "Introduction" pages.
You might want to go say "Hello" ....6 -

Missed my weekend Zoom workout because I stayed up late with socially distanced entertaining last night. Will make up for it (and get my money's worth) by doing four pre-work Zoom classes. That means there'll be quite a few two-a-day trainings this week 😬6 -

Last night was the first time I ever baked a pie (EX Hubby bought two pie shells, so I made two pies) One Pecan the other my favorite Blueberry and I did NOT take one taste, not one bite. YEP! I was very proud of myself. I begged him to take it with him when he left, But No luck. It's in our spare refrigerator. I pray if I get tempted I'll just throw it in the trash instead. LOL9 -
Three all done maybe 1 pass used?6

Yes to all 3 today. Part of why I love this challenge and keep coming back is for the 20 min daily exercise. I am trying to make this a lifetime goal going forward. I have challenges at the moment as I am still trying to get my plantar fasciitis to settle down. But I have been in treatment for it again this fall and I am trying to come up with some activity that I enjoy and won't be too hard on my feet.8

I walked on the treadmill today as it rained most of the day. My normal pace is about 3.0 mph, but I'm trying to up my pace a little bit so I tried 15 mins at 3.5 and then later in the day did 10 mins at 3.6. Other than that, I got my normal "steps" around the house. For this Thanksgiving week, I'm upping my step goal to 14k per day - aiming for 100k for the week.
@TeresaSavage I'm PROUD of you for baking and NOT eating or nibbling! You GO girl! That's awesome!
@Jana_2020 I've had plantar fasciitis in both feet (not at the same time), so I know how debilitating that can be. I froze water in a 16oz plastic water bottle and rolled it along the arch of my foot as I sat in the evenings and watched tv. It did help me.... it just takes time. I hope you get to feeling better SOON!!7 -
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

Exercise: Yes 200 mins on treadmill ( burned 1,076 calories )
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes
Pass Days: 3 left
I don't normally do this amount of exercise or burn this amount of calories. Today is my 52nd birthday. I wanted to have some take out food today and gluten free cupcakes. I still wanted to have an extra 400 calories left over from exercise. It wasn't hard to do it today either. My husband thought I was never gonna come up from the basement! Its where my treadmill is. I enjoyed my day so much today and I never left the house! I walked and listened to two great podcasts and those were almost 2 hours long each so it wasnt hard to keep going.7 -
Well, pass day 4 - - over on calories...darn sour dough bread is too good on this cold day...
Going to aim for exercise though..play some knect with my son.6 -

November 22
It was a pass day as I mentioned in 21st's post.
Used pass days: 35 -
Exercise: YES. An 8.5 mile trail run plus half mile walk up hill post run. No broken bones! Training for a Half-Ultra like I mean it....
Calories: YES. I got this figured out. For long weekend runs where my calorie burn is excessive, I am allowing myself half of calories burned as per my Garmin back into my daily calorie allowance. I figured out I was under-eating those days, resulting in a binge the following day to compensate.
Tracking: YES.5
