Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | The 10,000 Swing Kettlebell Workout [Session 5 of 20] (37), Skipping (10) TOTAL: 47 min
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 331

---|---|---|---
Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (40%)? NO | 38%
Pass Days Used: --Since my 40 lb KB is taking some getting used to, I've worked out my expected progression using a drop set approach with my 25 lb KB. However, I ended off the first week and then started the second week by advancing my workout progressions faster than expected.
The calendar has been adjusted as of MAR082021 to reflect that I may end up doing 8 sessions with only the 40 lb KB (not just 3, as laid out in the original plan). Still aiming for a 30 min PR by month end.
The number in yellow indicates the number of minutes taken to complete the workout that day

Yes, yes and yes, a good day. I did 2 hours and 30 minutes in the gym, a new high for me, it felt good, but left me a bit tired the rest of the day.6

Later, I went to the desktop and my lunch had disappeared so I entered it again. Then checked my phone, and lunch was in there twice! I honestly don’t remember if I was using safari or chrome since I use them both. But maybe that has something to do with it?
Yes! It’s also just losing things I post left and right. I’m starting to think it’s secretly trying to tel me to keep my mouth shut - both so good can’t go in and words can’t come out. 😂🤣3 -

Today is my 1 year anniversary of my health journey. On 3/8/2020, I weighed 223.4 lbs. according to the dr.'s scale. I didn't measure myself or start tracking weight until 4/12/2020 when I weighed 208.1 lbs. and measured bust=46.0", waist=46.0", hips=49.0'',thighs=27.25'', and biceps=14.0''. Today, I am 151.0 lbs.(up from 149.3 lbs.), measurements are bust=38.5'', waist=36.0'', hips=39.0", thighs=22.25'', biceps=11.0''.
I am at a healthy bmi, but will lose another 15 pounds to be at a 22 bmi, then reassess my weight.14 -

Yes x 3. Minimal exercise, 20 minutes walking. I just don't seem to have the energy. I am really out of condition, so I should really go back to my programme of increasing my walk by 5 minutes every day. If UAC had a cheer button, you could cheer me on every time I do an extra 5 minutes! Your support helps.
Under calories, still sipping my pumpkin soup and aubergine curry. Ready to stick in some meat, encouraged by recipes on UAC...7 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, treadmill 30 mins / 1.54 mi + upper body weights
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes
[Mon-Sat] Did I do treadmill AND weights or abs? yes, weights
Pass Days Used: 1/3
I was pleased that today's upper body weights were purposeful and strong rather than going through the motions like last Wed & Fri. I need to see more of that!4 -
In response to MFP glitches, I go on their website on my tablet, don't use the app, as a) it seems to have more glitches and b) it makes me post in French on the home page. It does mean I am limited to looking at UAC posts to when I am at home and use WiFi, but under Lockdown I am mostly at home anyway ... Curfew from 6pm to 6am ... Only problem when I am examining away from home.3

I also don't use the app. Only the website via desktop and I don't have any of these double entires or other weirdness. I sometimes get an error when trying to submit data but I retry and it pretty much always works the second time.3
