    Exercise: o:) lots of walking in my exergame ( at 9,152/ not bedtime yet; but "no fitbit credits granted" Part of the technical difficulties thing
    Logged: o:) All logged
    In Range: o:) stayed juuust inside the green again today despite the newly-lower level - knowing that I had burned more than enough to "earn a small evening snack" again, but again not going to pick one when no calorie credits were registering. (at least not until They either start syncing again, OR I go through the back-data and see at what point-difference between cals MFP recorded eaten / cals fitbit recorded burned over the day has to be hit before for fitbit activity credits start showing up in the older exercise log entries.

    @Jana_2020
    Thanks Jana for this opening quotation and reminder. I participate in another group called “Building Healthy Habits on MFP and (like the three goals in UAC) this is exactly what we focus on. All of these opportunities to build and reinforce habits are really helping me to establish a good foundation.

    I think I’m on pass day 6 now. I’m exercising every day but as I haven’t been tracking I don’t know my calorie count. It’s difficult when I don’t prepare my own meals but I should at least attempt it. I’m also seeing some bad habits creeping back in.

    This month is hard but I’m making a promise to myself to track daily no matter what… before I start eating what’s in front of me!

    Exercise: 30 minutes walking
    Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan
    Calories: Under
    Pass Days so far: 6ish

    I like the habits focus for today. @jamcnewman thanks for the link to that group. Looks like lots of you are on it! I am very tempted to join but I really don't have time for more than 1 group. But I am really inspired by how that group thinks about habits - being very specific about how and why and when you are doing it, and the idea of rewarding yourself as you are setting up a habit. I am going to keep thinking about all of that.

    I do think I have several healthy habits in my life right now that I am very attached to, though.

    Walking

    In regard to motivation vs habits, my morning walking has become such a habit that it feels like it is part of my dna. I had an early meeting and I set my alarm for 5 am instead of my normal 6 am so I could fit in the morning walking.

    Yes x 3

    I just wanted to post really fast, I don't have my other detailed posting ready but I wanted to post really fast because I am afraid if I don't do it right now, it might not get done today. Its a busy day ahead of me today! I am disqualified for December, but I have used less pass days than I did in November.
