No exercise today, but I did eat well and log. Some days it does feel like I am giving up... Oh well, things will get better, in fact they are just slowly.6

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Erm....Sort of. I mopped floors, moved furniture, vacuumed up & down stairs. Did 13 minute office yoga, a few sit ups. But not true hardcore exercise.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, and ate pretty healthy
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Oh, yeah 😬4 -

I didn’t do so well today. ☹️ I didn’t do much exercise and caved to the cravings. But I’m not going to let that discourage me. I will continue tomorrow.6 -

On quitting on yourself:
I've been in and out of MFP for a few years, have dropped out numerous times, but have finally committed myself. While I now may disappear for a few days, I come back and carry on. It doesn't mean that I am quitting or giving up. I have also noticed how many of the newcomers drop out every month; some don't even make it to the starting blocks. However, I have also noticed that from every batch of new members, there are a few who stay the course and become hugely supportive members of the community. I'd like to focus on those tenacious and valued UAC'ers - three cheers for them!7 -

@oh_jackie I will just add my bit to what so many have said – don’t give up.
Maintenance can be just as hard as losing weight and you don’t have the reward of seeing the scales go down. Try to focus on the other “rewards” – feeling better, getting fitter, more energy etc.
Maintenance is all about yo-yoing but on a smaller range. If you check out the maintenance threads you will find that most of us have a range of +/- x lbs either side of our ideal weight. My range is 48 – 50 kg. You know you can lose weight, you have the tools, and you have a supportive group to cheer you on. So reset, and good luck.
My problem is holidays – but obviously this hasn’t been an issue in the last 12 months of Covid restrictions although I did manage a few short breaks last year. I fully expect to gain a little when restrictions lift and we can socialise again.

I've given my body a rest doing minimal exercise, 30 minutes in the garden for a few days. My battery feels recharged so It's time to get back into more concentrated exercise again, I think.5 -

@Bovaryoo - I don’t think you’re “lazy” for not exercising at night. Sometimes the day just calls for relaxing instead. I realized some time ago that if I tell myself I’ll exercise when I get home from work, it rarely happens. So knowing that, it provides motivation to get my rear out of bed and get moving in the morning (after coffee of course!)
@transparentenigma - please don’t beat yourself up over 1 pound. It’s just a number, albeit a significant one. Track an average weight to help even out the swings. I don’t use it, but there’s a “happy scale” app that does it for you. I understand why it’s frustrating for you, but don’t let it ruin your day.

@SummerSkier It's not just cats! Giving oral meds to horses is worse! The weight ratio is way too much in their favor.2

@TheresaM787 Thank you for sharing with me too! As a volunteer leader, I need to know that you are finding benefit from the UAC!!!
Your friend, Rick2 -
@snowshoe072 Thanks to you too!!

@Chinkiri You are so right! I feel so grateful to you and so many other UACers. Although it is not an official policy, it makes me smile whenever one of our long-term members post after an absence.
Thanks, Rick1 -

@alligatorob Yes, “in fact they are just slowly” This! Soon, you will be fully recovered. I have learned recovery goes in fits & starts ie you can “suddenly” recover when you least expect it!!

My treadmill broke and it is so old that it is unlikely that I will get it fixed. Walking outside now for a while until I figure it out. Good for me but I still like having a treadmill as a back up.6 -
