I also wanted to say that I've just spent an hour this morning going back and reading posts for the last 10 days or so that were posted AFTER mine. In doing so I came across @dewit 's post about not coming back to the UAC in Feb and her reasons..... First of all, I want to say PLEASE consider coming back. I enjoy reading your posts, even tho I sometimes don't get "back" to read them for several days.
Dewit's comment has also helped me to realize that I need to go back (DAILY) and read what other people have posted AFTER me since I often post early because I go to bed so early. I'm posting this here in the daily thread because I sent Dewit a message and was not sure that she would get it (since we are not "friends"). Anyways, I too am a "work in progress" ....... and hope that nothing that I have said (or NOT said) has offended anyone. I hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday!
I must of missed @dewit comment. Its sad to hear that she wont be coming back! I hope everything is ok? She will be missed!!! Also hope she will reconsider. Xox
@Mrs_Hoffer i hve never seen anything posted on here from u or any other person which is offensive. All i see is an abundance of support and positivity! Hope u also hve a fab day!2 -
Got everything done for today I am so proud of myself to say that I have been able to keep up with my medicine ball and add extra reps every other day. I was very hesitant to try as I was fearful of creating more elbow issues and how do you explain that to the orthopedic doc? But very glad I tried so that proves the point that it’s ok to take a step over into the uncomfortable zone we are stronger then we think. We are able to accomplish more then what we give ourselves credit for at times let’s all keep up our good work3

Exercise ✔️ 40-minute walk
Calories ✔️
Tracking ✔️
Today was stressful, but instead of stress-eating (my usual response), I decided to go for a walk when I'd finished teaching for the day. I wasn't in the mood to walk at all, and I was moving pretty slowly--but I'm still proud of making that choice. And I'm pretty sure I'll qualify for the winner's circle!

Hands up, I haven't used a Pass Day and hope to be in the Winner's Circle.
Also, I got on the scale today and didn't lose a pound but did lose 4 inches, so I'm happy about that today. Looking forward to February to start weight training. It's been a good month and glad I found this group.

PASS: 2/3 (Jan19) (Jan25)
Today I did another 45 mins of Dancing to the oldies (but I stayed indoors so as not to scare the neighbors!), and then 60 mins of walking 3.0mph outside (Brrr!) We had our bible study tonight at MY home, so I didn't have time to do any more exercising tonight. Now it's time for BED! Lol.
@donna25trinity I did send @dewit a friend request today, so that I could send her a private message and tell her that she would be MISSED. I believe that she's planning to attend in Feb after all! Yay!!!!!!!
She indicated that several others had told her that she would be missed as well. 💓3 -

Hi all!
Exercise: Yes. I logged a 64 minute walk, but my Apple Watch only gave me credit for 50 minutes of exercise. Boooo. (Was a little slow in places because of snow and because I was walking with the Hubby who is recovering from a knee injury.)

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

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
