Happy Anniversary @RangerRickL & Rose! 48 years - that is definitely something to celebrate!
I am now on SEVEN passes for the month. Had two really rough days. Today I hit all 3 marks though so I'm back on it. Maybe those with the most passes should win a prize - like the last person that finishes a marathon - JOKING!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

*** As the day wound down, and my tongue to my ear was still numb from dental implant surgery, it was temping to do no exercise at all. But I have no passes left and so few days to stick it out to the winner circle. 22 minutes on the indoor cycle is not great, but I did it. Good thing is at least I am not being tempted to nibble past my calories.

Yesterday was Bailey's day at the vet for a checkup, toenails trimmed (they're deadly), and rabies shot. Her weight increased from 62 to 84 lbs. in one year.
Today was Hoss's day. I had to leave him there at 8 a.m. and picked him up at 2 p.m. He had a checkup, a rabies shot, and his first ever spa day, which included toenails trimmed, ears cleaned, and a bath. He was not happy when I got him. He tried digging out of the run and kennel and broke a toenail to the quick. And he was afraid of the blow dryer and was delivered outside to me damp (it is chilly). I'm not sure he had enough water while there because he must have drank a gallon when he got home. He drinks a lot of water. His weight went from 104 to 126 lbs.
Since both gained 22 lbs., it's time for some intervention. @RangerRickL can my dogs join UAC, too?

Today was the first day since receiving a Fitbit for my birthday that I hit my 250-step goal for all 6 of my active hours (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.)! Not sure how I managed that, since I did a lot of sitting and grading today, but I'll take it.
