Hello everyone - Oct 1 done down under,

- Exercise: Dog walk (30 minutes) & Body Step (30 minutes)
- Within calories: Yes
- Tracking: Yes

Best wishes to you all for a fantastic October - may you achieve all of your goals and then some!

Excited to start month 2 with UAC! Very pleased with how September went, the challenge got me tracking on a more consistent basis and I finally managed to make a little weight loss progress. After hovering around 138-141 for most of the year, I am now down to 136 lbs! I've lost 2.6 lbs since September 1st.

October Goals:

To be in the Winner's Circle this month!

To get my weight under 135, so that means losing at least 1.1 lbs this month. Very doable!

To continue running 4 times a week, with at least one run a week being a 5 to 7+ miler.

To continue going to Planet Fitness (started up again in Sept) at least twice a week to do strength training.



Since I live on the West Coast (Seattle suburb) I'll be back several hours from now to post how I did with the rules today.

Hi All,

I’d like to lose a few pounds before my beach holiday at the end of the month.

I’m still struggling with a sinus infection so exercise-wise I’ll need to keep it on the light side until I’m better.

I almost forgot to add. Last month I lost 4.2 lbs!!! I’m very pleased with this and hope to repeat it this month 🤞

I’m back after a break as I’m finding that I’m not that in control of my eating in a post lockdown life.

Today has been lovely…

Did I exercise for 20 mins - yes, gentle stretching yoga for 20 mins this morning and 30 more minutes of more intense yiga this evening (thank you UAC, wouldn’t have done it but for this challenge)

Tracking: Yes.

My goal for October is actually just observation, this is the first time in a while I'm trying to lose weight so I'm trying out what works and what doesn't. Having some accountability for these useful habits is definitely great for that!
Usually, I do strength training at the gym and eat for performance, not aesthetic which means there are some huge changes in my exercise regiment, mainly a lot more cardio and I want to implement yoga.

@bradkcrew - It never seems to fail that the next run after an amazing one just seems to suck. Some weird universal law or something. I wish I could say that the next run after a sucky one is awesome, but it doesn't work that way. Tends more in the direction of sucks, it seems. But the good runs are worth all of the sucky ones.

Congrats to all the winners! 🥳

Did my last personal training session for a few months today. We’re going to save the rest of my paid for sessions for winter when it’s not the best running weather. She had to do a physical assessment of me today for a new program they’re adopting and after she asked me for my current medical situation she was like “so, I’m going to just write down ‘hot mess’”. 😂🤣 Yup, that about sums it up. Doc stuff is on hold until the end of December which is the soonest the Rheumatologist I was referred to had an opening for a new patient.

October goals:
*Actually stick to 3 pass days or less.
*Run at least 12 miles a week (lower to start and I’ll be increasing my mileage a little bit every week).
*Eat more freggies.

I’m refraining from making weight related goals for October, but I would like to see the 160’s by the end of January so… Do what you will with that, October.

Something else I wanted to mention today. What was it? Hm. I can’t remember, I’ll come back later if I do. Lol.
