I can't stress enough how important it is to stick to your goals and the 3 foundational pillars of the UAC even after you've used up your 3 Pass Days for the month! It not only helps to keep you in the habit of tracking and logging every single day, but also keeps the idea of exercising, tracking and staying under your calorie goal in the front of your mind - even after you feel like you've "failed" and feel like giving up for the month.
No matter how many Pass Days we end up using, it's better to keep working at it than to give up, drop out, or just "take the remainder of the month off!"
We need to not think of it so much that we've "failed"... yes, we may not qualify to be in the Winner's Circle, but we are a CHAMPION if we continue logging every day through to the end of the month! I think that sticking around and being a CHAMPION is often just as difficult (if not more difficult!) than staying under 4 Pass Days! (just my opinion!)
So without any further rambling..... here's our list of amazing CHAMPIONS for October!

Ooooo! I appear in the list of champions for posting on all days in October even though I had 4 pass days - what a lovely surprise - I didn't realise that was a thing but I am glad it is. It was always my goal to 'post anyway' rather than give up after 3 pass days. Thank you! And congrats to the other October champions.
Exercise: Yes (30 minute dog walk)
Calories under: Yes
Tracked all: Yes
(0/3 pass days used)

Yay, YOU!!!!!7 -
I intend to see my name there too, on the Nov Champs list (I always thought of it as "aim for Winners' Circle - but if Life Happens (even in the first week of the month) - the rest of the month is "pre-season practice for the NEXT month's Winners' Circle. " Habit building is habit building. If you are going to build something, you have to keep assembling until it is done.6

Be my guest! (it dates back to even before UAC started a secondary "Champions List" - and you could add "Keep aiming for one-or-more-fewer passes than the month before until the Winners Circle actually happens" (like the one who included previous-month pass totals, as visual self encouragement that progress in habit forming was happening, even if not quite WC yet)3 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes- EPIC III
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Habits to maintain/work on this month:
Kitchen Closed? Yes
Did you go "nuts" with nuts today? No, I went "nuts" yesterday but not today...(2 days "nuts" free)
Within Sugar macro today? Yes (3 days)
Pass day 0/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records).3 -
As much as I didn't want to take a pass day until my vacation I'm taking one today. My knees are hurting and today's EPIC is lower body so another day of rest will be beneficial. Plus I have a dinner this evening (partner's family obligation) and have no idea what's on the menu which makes pre-planning impossible. Not to mention that I will need to drink copious amounts of wine to get through the evening.
Not completely kidding. 7 -
I really don’t want to take another pass day. Be back in 20 minutes 😂10
