@dewit I had to chuckle when you posted, "we post in different formats".
I have no idea how you create such interesting and creative posts.
Thanks for being our graphic artist with a very entertaining format for your posts!6 -

Exercise: Active stretching 23 minutes. I keep adding more to keep the lumbar issues at bay. 47 minutes of walking in the evening8 -

I have to say, just thinking about this challenge today kept me from going over even 1 calorie over my calorie budget today. It was great.13 -

Hello ...are you ready MARCH on to your personal victories for the month? eh?? lol
I am about to do some Zumba - so that will be my exercise today...and I have to do some cleaning that will be a little extra.
I began a "carbing down" experiment three days ago... not going extreme or "keto"...just aiming for a net carb goal. I think it will be good for me...but I'm not banking on anything extreme happening.
Had a belated bday for my son today with his literature group (yep, it was LIT)...ha,ha. I took some almonds to keep myself from losing my mind over the cake...haha. The only thing that has challenged me is the icing.
Hope you all have a good day or evening...depending on where you are located in the world at this point. ;D10 -
Oh goodness - forgot to report really... - ok, yes x's 3.9

- Start reading again. I used to read 3-4 books a week. I think I’ve read 2 books in the last 12 months? Recommendations welcome. Maybe we can start a UAC book club 😂📚🤓
Generally speaking, what kinds of reading do you like. I am / have been into many different genres over the years. Maybe I can suggest something. Fiction or non-fiction? Modern day or a bit (or a lot) historical? Mystery or relationship-type? Very "real-world" or with a touch of magic? Or a lot of magic/fantasy?6 -

Thanks for doing this again RangerRick! I am starting out the month with a good day. Yes to all 3. We had sunshine and 53 degrees here today. It did feel like spring.11

Yes, yes, and yes, a good day.
Thanks for this Rick and I am happy to have made the February winners circle. Feels good.
I will stick here for the month of March, but don't see the winner's circle this month. I have a week of vacation and then surgery in late March, not likely I can do it again but that matters less than trying when I can.11 -
March 1st
Exercise: ✅ Treadmill: 1 mile walk, 4 mile run
Calories: ✅
Tracked: ✅
Happy March!
I decided to add a couple of extra goals in March.
🔵 Weight
- Current weight: 186
- Goal weight on 3/31: 179 (can be 179.8, I just want in the 170’s)
🔵 Running
- Current: I run 3 miles once or twice a week.
- Goal: Run at least 3 times a week, with one of those runs being 5 miles. (I do circuit training classes at the gym three times a week, so that will leave me one “rest” day when I will walk or do yoga.)
🔵 General movement
- Close all three rings on my Apple Watch all 31 days in March.
🔵 Mental Health
- Start reading again. I used to read 3-4 books a week. I think I’ve read 2 books in the last 12 months? Recommendations welcome. Maybe we can start a UAC book club 😂📚🤓
@mshawski I LOVE the idea of a UAC book club!biketheworld wrote: »@MadisonMolly2017 - I love your analogy yesterday about this process being like riding a bike. But then, I like anything that has to do with biking. 😏
Welcome to all the newbies. This challenge is just that, challenging, but completely worth it! The people here are so supportive and I look forward to logging on and reading everyone’s posts. I haven’t made it to the winners circle yet, but this is my month. I’m laser focused and not going to make excuses.
Exercise - yes
Tracked - yes
Under calories - yes
@biketheworld
Bikes & bike riding are awesome. I trained with Team in Training and rode a 100 miler in Hawaii, raising $6K for lymphoma & leukemia. Such a calorie burn, the views are awesome, and biking is so enjoyable!
I’ve now begun to say, “Remember the bike analogy!” to myself! 🤣
Whatever works, right?6 -

Congrats to everyone that made the circle, or finished a champion! And to anyone who decides to keep going even if last month wasn't what you expected and you keep going anyway!
Yes x 4 for Monday, tracked logged and did a 3.5 mile dog walk. Also closed the kitchen at 7:30 which is my weekday goal.
