In the UAC, if you keep posting throughout the month - even after you've used up your 4th Pass Day...... then YOU ARE A CHAMPION!!

Jana said it very well on the Nov 30th thread, and I thought it was worth repeating here:I like that picture also @Mrs_Hoffer; I'm on the 'Try' step. Hope you feel better soon.
Yes x 3 for me today. And this entry makes me a Champion! I'm actually very excited bc usually I quit reporting bc I'm ashamed. Proud of myself for committing to post in here every day, even if it wasn't a very good month. Thanks to all for the encouragement. Last month it was very enlightening to realize that quite a few people didn't succeed at first but eventually they got there. That was my "light bulb" moment. Then I made a goal to show up and post every day for November and I met it!
Congrats to all the Winners and Champions this month!
I'm so excited for you @Jana_2020 !! I've been in this group for over a year, and I've only been in the Winner's Circle a handful of times. It's not easy to do. And like Jana, I'm always embarrassed that I can't seem to make it into the Winner's Circle. But I know that I'm in this for the long haul, and if I don't want to keep "starting over", then I need to stop QUITTING!!
I learned early on that no amount of embarrassment was going to make me give up!
I'm convinced that the "key" to success is to NOT GIVE UP!!14 -

To Succeed: You must first improve.
To Improve: You must first practice.
To Practice: You must first learn.
To Learn: You must first fail.
To Fail: You must first try.

Try
F.a.i.l. (After all, to F.a.i.l. (by definition) is "First Attempt In Learning")
Define "lesson learned"
Adjust plan
Try again.
F.a.i.l. better this time
Define "next lesson learned"
Adjust plan
Try again ....
Eventually.....
Succeed!
Repeat!

Walking
Glad I was able to fit in my morning walking. I got my booster last night and it gradually started hitting me throughout the day today. At this point, I have little energy to get off the couch and gave been sleeping lots. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Love the 'Your plan vs Reality'. The reality chart is soooo me!4 -
I really didn’t feel like exercising but did get some rowing in and a little walking nothing like this fall maybe the weather will cooperate it’s been so cold and windy it’s early this year. Anyway I tracked and logged hope to have a more productive weekend. Off to read, half way through game of thrones book 23

3x yes today. I had to be careful because it is was my towns Christmas fair. I had to do a second walk afterwards to get my calories in check :-)

To be a champion is not easy. You posted each day, you failed, you got up, you did not let the shame, perfectionism, guilt, negative self talks, etc., etc., stop you.6 -

Congrats to all of the Champions!! Way to be accountable!
@TerriRichardson112 Hope you are doing well!
Exercise:
I had an oil change this evening and instead of sitting around waiting I went on a 40 minute power walk. The cold wind stung my face, but otherwise I moved fast enough to keep warm. I use the time productively AND I got to skip the gym!
Tracking:
Calories: I still haven't got the hang of increasing my calories to a maintenance level, but I suppose losing a few extra pounds will give me a buffer for holiday eating. 
3 -
Exercise:
lots of walking in the sunshine (to the point that i didn't neeed to also do my exergame ... I will be making TWO rainbows tomorrow 
)
Logged: all in!
In Goal: no bouts adout it THIS time! (see my entry from Dec 2 inside spoiler if you don't know what I am talking about)Exercise: well over 10,100 steps (exergame plus outdoor walking plus general walking AND an extra 100 cals (10 minutes) on the stationary bike.
Logged: everything, including the weighed (but more costly than expected) Doritos. Haven't had Doritos in an looooong time ....
In Goal: ????? Maybe someone else with a fitbit can help me out or explain .... I was in the red by 74 calories - did a 100 calorie ride on my stationary bike - logged it into MFP and all it did was shift 100 cals out of the "earned by fitbit steps" into a new new line, so ZERO NET CHANGE despite the ride?
I have a Fitbit One (only registers steps, that I know of). IF I could get it and MFP to recognize the 100 cal bike ride as additional burn, I would be ~25 cals in the GREEN (and no pass used)
If it can't be done, then I have used an unplanned pass day
I am calling it as 1 Pass Used for now, but would appreciate knowing if there is a way to correct ....1 -
yes for 3!

@TerriRichardson112 sending prayers your way, my friend. Wishing you a speedy recovery. 🤗
@BMcC9 My fitbit did the same thing, and I never could figure out that "fitbit math", I finally disconnected my fitbit from MFP because I found it frustrating! Lol. Good luck to you!4
