    My calorie rule for January UAC
    Defining, for myself more than anything, what is the definition of my daily calorie goal. For Oct and Nov, I used 1430 and not eating back exercise. December, I raised that to 1480 with no additional calories for exercise. For January, I am going to try a blended rule; either Food calories under 1480, or Net calories (ie Food minus exercise) under 1200. So, if my exercise burns less than 280 on a given day, there is no added calories. BUT, if I exercise more, I have the option additional food OR if I overeat, I have the option of exercising more to not use a pass day. This flexibility was not something I allowed in my previous rounds. Once I exceeded my goal calories, regardless of my exercise burn. Also, I am defining that I am using the MFP estimate for the caloric burn from exercise. I know I could get different numbers elsewhere, but I am going to use only the one source – good or bad.

    I woke up to our first Roomba poopocalypse and got to clean the carpets in my office this morning! Hey, added steps and a great way to lightly exercise on a chilly wet morning. My office carpets are now cleaned, so bonus! Yes, I'm trying to find the bright spot. My husband is less happy, he got to clean the Roomba. 🤢

    I thought that was urban legend and it never really happened. There are reasons I don’t have one of those anymore 😱😱😱
