Our winners circle grew since last nice, and here is where we are at:
Winners Circle
@MadisonMOlly2017
@WhatMeRunning
@Summerskier
@Winner_in_Life
@TerriRichardson112
@Victorious55
@Calvin20874
@Stella7x7
@Donna25Trinity
@maltedtea
@AshleyCarole86
@forlangston
@fourathomej
@grandmajackie
I'm reaching out to the following members, and asking them to let me know if they are making the winner's circle for July @Deby137 @BiketheWorld @jtreasures @tdrjustus3
Lastly, I have a quick shout out to these members who I personally have not seen for a while. Maybe it is just my spotting data sampling. But hoping you are still with us and are finishing out the month. @bovaryoo @znaoiec @chantriste13 @oh_jackie @readyornot1234
Can you believe it is almost August!!!!!4 -
Yes, I plan to be in the winner's circle. For some reason, I could not get "community" to come up last night so that I could post. I just did yesterday's and today's. Thanks!2

JUL 27-31 - Pass days
T β | C β | E β [> 20 min walk]
Belated NSV: It seems like I am finally figuring out maintenance!For now, this includes:I have continued reading all the posts this month and enjoyed the discussions a lot! I want to participate more regularly again next month, but I am not sure how to report in, since I would like to continue moving towards more intuitive eating/ not necessarily tracking...
1) allowing myself to enjoy walks instead of feeling guilty about not pushing myself to do more high-impact exercise (even purchased my first smart watch to encourage a higher step count)
2) Making good food choices (βfreggiesβ and an adequate amount of protein) paired with moderate fasting to manage hunger signals
Tracking helped me get a feel for the calorie density of different foods and having data to analyse was reassuring when my weight was fluctuating during weight loss. I had not planned on stopping to track (initially happened out of time reasons), but noticed it was helping me not think about food as much.5 -

@oh_Jackie My solution to support my best at this moment, is to solely concentrate on the "accountability" aspect of the challenge, keep the goals in mind, and to check in daily or at least by the third day. Winners Circle would be nice, but I have not found a way in maintenance that works for me (I know others have) so I am not worrying about it. The true goal is best health, and that is being accomplished for me right now. My spinouts are rare now that I am focusing on timely reporting. For you, customize what you want to report and focus on the champion aspect and reporting in your "day" daily with whatever it is that you wish to share. Those are just my thoughts. Each of us are truely unique and finding what is best for our bodies and minds is most important. (BTW this is making me remember I forgot to report in yesterday - need to go do that)7 -

Iβve been rather sporadic posting this week, but still here, still plodding forward. No winners circle for me, but I think I qualify for champions.
Thursday was a long but amazing day. I chartered a bus and took 50 people up to oshkosh for the air show. We left at 5 am and got back at midnight. Iβm taking 4 days for a mental break because when I go back to work on Tuesday it will be full steam ahead for a big event in august.
Freggie report:
Week of July 18 avg 4.42/day
Sunday: 4
Monday: 3
Tuesday: 1
Wednesday: 5
Thursday: 2
Friday: 56 -

Today's exercise included 15 mins yoga and a 60 min walk. Hubby also put a new inner tube on my bike, so I got in a 10 minute bike ride. π My "granny" seat has a bolt missing, and he says that my seat also isn't high enough, so he's going to fix both of those things for me!
I also worked with the kettlebell a little bit, working on my form and technique.
PASSES USED: Too many, But I'm still a champion! ππ
I'm ready for August!!!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes- Treadmill: 30 min / 1.82 mi
- Pool (light exercise)
Apple rings closed: 31/31
Unfortunately tonight's restaurant meal took me over calories so I have to take pass number six. On the positive side I have two months in a row of closing all three Apple rings every single day of the month. The last time I closed them all for an entire month was in December and before that I don't even recall if it ever happened. If it did it was only one time at most.

Lots of exercise again today!
Active stretching (to get my back prepared for movement) 23 minutes; three+ hours of walking, lifting, and cleaning.

Tracked all my caloriesStayed under calorie goalExercised more than 20 mins
13/31 days (started July 12th, so 13/20 days from when I started)
6/3 pass days used
Got myself in a funk that I need to get out of. Glad for a new month starting tomorrow as I definitely had that thought pattern around already having too many pass days so what's one more? Not a good mind space to be in.3 -

Exercise?
Rode for just over an hour today (10.6 miles). Mostly a leisurely ride (you know you're going slow when a rollerblader passes you up and disappears from sight! ) The Loop was actually fenced off about 3.5 miles up, so I tried to decide where to go using "surface streets" only to be reminded (sigh) that the street I was on was under construction and I couldn't get through. Still planning to ride tomorrow, but will head in the other direction. Go for another 10, probably also a leisurely ride. The rain is gone and it's getting hot again.
Tracking?
Calories?
Was there, but ended up getting a milkshake after dinner that, although it really hit the craving, blew me over the allowed calories for the day.
Tomorrow will likely be my first pass day for the month of August, but I'm hoping to go at least a few days before I pick up my next one.
No winners circle for me, but I am a champion. (And I keep hearing Freddy Mercury in my head).
Sleep well, UAC fam in my part of the world. Have a great day to the rest of y'all on the other side of the world. 3 -
July 31
Exercise: 116 minutes mountain biking, 55 minutes stretching and PT exercises
Tracking: yes
Calories: under
Winner's circle; yes5 -
July 31
Pass day, I thought might as well take it and start a fresh on August.
Calories to burns: 50,050, yesterday: 51,590.
But since I had a pass day, it will surely increase again.
See you in August ππ3
