Exercise: Yes, 4.0 speed outside in the cold air with the dog, but it felt good and helped wake me up! I have NOT gone to bed since Monday night! I know that isn't good, but you should see how clean my house is and got so much done when everyone was sleeping. I am going to bed now ASAP! ( burned 440 calories )

My calorie rule for January UACDefining, 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.Date: 1/1

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - low impact aerobics class. First time in over 6 months. It was fun.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - Even went out for lunch and rather than fries had a side salad with my sandwich. It is often the little things that help us keep under budget.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes4 -

I'm taking my hour lunch in my car since a cluster of employees have COVID and too many people sit without masks in the breakroom. A flock of starlings got part of my sandwich (they were begging outside my car window) and all the good stuff from my salad (walnuts and other things) -- saved me about 300 calories.

The UAC is intentionally simple and yet very difficult. January always has the most dramatic fall out rate.
@RangerRickL
I wonder if there’s anything we can do to prevent the fall out rate.

Which was a big deal as usually if I had a big work task, I would skip exercise - 5 years ago
I realized after some posts, I’ve tracked everything I’ve eaten since a sept 2017 with no plans to stop.3 -

@newbie2143 What you shared is one of the aspects of the UAC that helps me a lot, and that is the consistency of every day focus and effort. It's very easy to revert to old habits of "tomorrow" and then the "tomorrows" multiply. But realizing at the end of a day, like you recounted, that you don't want to use a pass so you do the exercise you might otherwise skip is an invaluable new habit. Congrats!3
