    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.

    @SummerSkier well, this week we had coffee 3 times, each one between two to three hours long and we plan to go for a walk at the beachfront on Sunday. I’m enjoying his company and getting to know him but not in a rush too jump into anything so happy with how things are progressing.
    It helped that I’m not working this week and he has a slow start at work so we both had plenty of time available. (Meaning I’m not compromising on my own commitments just to see him.)
    He will need educating as I’m a major geek and he has never watched Star Wars and did not get a Big Bang Theory reference, but I can work with challenges like that 😜

    I can totally relate to this! I am much better with others if I can get my exercise and things I want to do done first! This gives me peace; otherwise, I can become pretty cranky!
