Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Yeppers!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Well??? Sort of yes, but really no. I went over budget but I moved enough today that my activity countered the overage so...Yeah, no. No, I did not stay within my calorie budget for the day.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
Yes I did! And I tried a new recipe too.4 -
Hello there! It's my first day in the group and my first accountability post!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Yes. I wlked the three flights of stairs in my house in several intervals to toal 20 minutes. Hoping to build up to that 20 minutes at once.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
No. I went over 80 calories by nibbling on the mini shortbread cookies while playing a family game tonight. I found this group after searching the "accountability" pages and after reading through all the intros and FAQs, I felt that this is the group I need to help fight those little nibbles here and there that get me in trouble.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
Yes. Weighed and measured all food and hit my water quota.

Exercise: Yes - Bodypump 55 min on youtube. I think I did like 100 pushups during that timespan and scared I won't be able to move my arms tomorrow. Garmin showed I burned more calories than running. Interesting.
Calories: Yes underate but by a hair again.
Tracked: Yes.7 -
Yes, yes and yes, but exercise was just shoveling snow. Actually I spent several hours doing snow removal, but most of it was plowing with my tractor or ATV, I only counted the ~30 minutes of actual shoveling. Guess that will have to be good enough.
That is impressive Rick, I am also in maintenance and staying in a 10 lb range can be hard, my weight just bounces a lot. The UAC has been a great help to me, and I guess the range doesn't matter so much as long term stability. In some ways I find this harder than losing weight, thanks for the UAC, it makes it a bit easier.RangerRickL wrote: »The accountability has helped me to maintain my weight within a 5 lb range.

@SummerSkier Yes, Tigger is my favourite and one of the things I love about jiu Jitsu is how it gives me the energy to be more like Tigger!
I’m off at the moment so no seal photos until 18 January unless there is a crisis as I’m technically on standby, which means I can’t go too far away but I don’t have to use my leave days. I never travel at this time of year and have even less interest with COVID ravaging our country, so it’s actually a win for me. Not sure when I’ll be able to take leave out even what I’ll do with it, but that’s another days challenge.4 -

My injured leg is better today. I don't know what the heck happened, but it's about 90 percent better now.4 -

We have 2 houses. Moved into this one 1.5 years ago. We hadn't visited our other house lately, so we went today. Someone had kicked in the front door and ransacked the place. They took lots of the things I left there. It looks like a hurricane passed through; Drawers dumped on the floor, closets emptied and strewn everywhere, etc. It's a total wreck. Nothing big, but LOTS of sentimental things.
We spent a few hours there, trying to reinforce the front and back doors, but husband's drill stopped working. We didn't get to the front door. It's a good thing that I burned so many calories today, because I ate myself silly. I was super hungry (and still am as I type at midnight).
I'm going to have to hire a crew. If I don't, I'll be cleaning up that place another year from now.7 -

@alligatorob I have also found maintaining more difficult than the losing, not that losing is easier. But with losing, there is a degree of excitement to it and goals to meet that feel rewarding. With maintenance, once is much less likely to be excited by seeing the same number each week. There is a different mindset needed to keep the focus, and this is something that I clearly need to develop. Even now, being within 3 lbs of my goal, I am starting to struggle with the mental component, and need to figure this out.

I am here...I am finally off of my phone and could get on the boards! I've missed my daily accountability with you guys... so much! LOVE all of the pictures! I will be going back as time permits. Wishing you all a GREAT start to this new month of dedication to living our best lives.
1/1st - yes, x's 3
1/2nd - nope - over on calories...but way over on exercise thanks to my pet sitting client walks...so - yes - pass day 1
1/3rd - uhhh - nope - over on calories.... big rest day after all of the appreciated work I had for the holidays...
1/4th is going to be an on track day!
Okay - here are my personal goals for this month:
Aiming to lose 7 more lbs by day 365 on MFP.
I'm going to employ a few techniques a successful UAC member shared with me... with a couple of tweaks. Long and short of it... Aiming to eat my last meal by 6 pm, I will aim for few carbs after 2 pm each day, protein way up, keep macros in mind, aim not to eat exercise calories back - but on days where I exceed my step goal and have done walking and an exercise class (online) - then a few extra will be allowed
