@SummerSkier Glad you enjoyed the video and all the best for your 2,021 mi challenge!
@SModa61 I hope you will enjoy the book as much as I did. Thank you for all your insights! I was not aware of potential weight fluctuations due to Ibuprofen (only of the effects of cortisone). In yesterday's discussion, you mentioned, “In the video, he did miss TOM, but I guess that is a "duh".“ What does TOM stand for?
@Bovaryoo I understand; Patience is a virtue, but a difficult one to achieve!7 -
Nope, I didn’t track any food and made bad choices today. I did get back to morning yoga, abs and rehab though which was added to coaching kids and attending Jiu Jitsu class.
No work this week so nice and relaxed. It is convenient on weeks like this because my man has a flexible schedule so we can meet up for coffee or lunch easily (like we did today 🥰). Didn’t sleep enough last night and suffered today as a result. I know I need a certain amount of sleep, and suffer the consequences if I don’t prioritise it. Tomorrow I will improve on the areas I did badly on today.9 -

25th January:
3 x Yes.
Exercise: Yes, 60 minutes brisk walk to the Town Hall and back, to sort out some forms. Thanks to my preparation (I am getting good at French bureaucracy!) it literally took 5 minutes. It was a beautiful day and my walk took me past our little river.
Calories: Yes, stayed under. Even managed to squeeze in a drop of whisky to raise a glass to Robbie Burns and all my Scottish friends. My partner is Scottish. @BobW007
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
Unlike some of you, I love the time differences between UAC members. I post in the evening, after my last meal, kitchen closed @victorious55. Usually @Dory_42 is there, in South Africa, 2 hours ahead of me. @Hulya_79 in Turkey turns up a bit later, dinner times in Turkey are later, then soon after UK @fatbambi2017. I think there are some more UK or Irish members?
I post again first thing in the morning. I wake up crazy early, but @RangerRickL is about to go to bed and posting his last comments and the starter post for the new day. I know that @MadisonMolly2017 in California is at the end of the timeline, before UAC friends in Australia are ready to post @Ja_Kl? and @donna25trinity, maybe others? Lots of North Americans all over the continent in between. I absolutely love the worldwide spread of UAC members!16 -

Good day - three yeses. Exercise was my usual knee boosting exercise bike session for 25 minutes and a couple of walks with my youngest.
@Chinkiri I’m with you on the time difference, there’s a kind of rhythm with the daily posts and I love how different our weather is - some people are hanging out in the sun, some are shovelling snow while some of us just have the grey and wet! I also love hearing about people meeting other people as I’ve not been able to do that for months now 🙁🙁. Living vicariously through others!
And re the French bureaucracy- I also hear you. I spent a year in Bordeaux studying (it feels like one hundred years ago now!) and the paperwork - epic. Well done on your speedy transaction today.6 -
25/01/2021
Exercise: yes, bike ride 20 minutes, cardio 30+ minutes.
Tracking: yes
Calories: yes
The sun was shining but it was bitter cold this morning so only a short bike ride.
In spite of giving myself an increased calorie allowance while I was away, I have dropped by 0.2 kg since Friday am. Not much in itself but I’ve been under 48 kg for over 2 weeks now.
@MadisonMolly2017 Thankyou for your kind words
@MaltedTea she is adorable but I’m having problems loading photos.
@Chinkiri I'm another early poster - in the UK - usually post just before bed

Last three days were 3x’s yes but maybe not the most balanced. Saturday’s calories were mostly cocktails and Sunday was all pizza!!!
DH has the week off so we’re on pretend vacation. Luckily we live close to skiing so he’s been going every day. I’m going to join him tomorrow. This is my first winter downhill skiing, it’s terrifying, exciting and takes a lot of effort.

Start weight, January 1, 2021: 132.0December 1, 2020 – 135.6

September, 14, 2020 – 153.0
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
