A late post busy day but did manage rowing and some spin. Tracked and logged good day overall
As some may have read before, my weight loss journey began before consistently using MFP. My goal has always been stay focused increase exercise and”try” to make wise food choices we do need some fun foods. I know that the scale is my friend we meet every morning and it helps me stay focused just like my exercise routine. I do notice it’s a bit harder when the weather is colder but that’s where I did deep and find different options for indoor exercise I have added resistance bands, kettlebells and medicine balls not overly heavy due to elbow injury but enough that it makes a difference. When I exercise I feel better and my mood is better.5 -
@Elbee1 We won’t give up IF you don’t give up. We have all been there before and will at some point visit that binge place again. Use the tools in your toolbox if you have only a few in there what can you add in?5

Yes x3. Morning after check in today, I was so tired last night!
My goals are a bit weight loss related - I’ve got this 10lb range I swing up and down in and when I get to the high end, I find my way to mfp because my clothes fit better when I’m closer to the low end. My exercise goals are more to do with health. I’m nearing 40 and the aches and pains are a lot more prominent now than they were even a couple years ago. I know for me that when I'm slacking on strength training and lose muscle and stability around my core, I experience a lot more back pain, especially in the night. It is motivating to feel stronger or have more endurance, no matter what the scale may say. .6 -

Today was a challenge because I had friend errands to run and all three involved food spots. I got the fab 5 at Perkins, nibbled on an English muffin at ihop and had a 6 ounce steak with broccoli and salad at longhorn (with enough calories left for a Blue Moon) phew - on an unaccountable day that would have been triple the calories easily without blinking.

Don't give up on me, yet!
We don't give up on anyone! You have such a lot on your plate right now. Exercise is very good for stress and can help you to relax. Walking outdoors is known to help mental health. I found it really helpful. If you're in the Nothern hemisphere you might not see much sun but every little helps.4 -

What are your goals?
Like many have already said, my goals are to develop lifetime habits that will lead to health and wellness. Like Susan, @ideas2 I'm also working to improve my gut microbiome, which helps with overall health/wellness. I've also learned that there's a big difference between being gluten free and grain free.... which is what I'm trying to do now.
As far as exercise, this winter I'm finding that I'm mostly just doing the bare minimum (20mins). I do a lot more walking in the nicer weather, and really need to start getting on my treadmill. Thus far (winter) I've been doing well at maintaining my weight. Hurry up Spring!! 🌷🌸🌹🌼🥀🌻💐5 -
This is embarrrasing, but again... Nope, all 3.
I had stress binge today and last night...
Don't give up on me, yet!
(accountability only...)
@Elbee1 please don't be embarrassed... and around here, we never "give up" on anyone!
You've got a lot going on - and we've get it. Most of us have been there. I'm glad that you're sticking around for accountability, and hopefully we can be of some encouragement to you as well. {{HUGS}} 4 -
Hmmm, goals. My main goal is to lose weight lol but it seems like everything I do gets in the way of it. Tbh I'm sick and tired of all the things I've worked on; I always have a goal that I need to accomplish in order to achieve the ultimate goal. But I'm here for the long haul. I'm not quitting. Am I embarrassed, yes. Have I quit though? No. Have I overcome all of my challenges? No. Am I further ahead than a year ago? Yes. Apparently I'm just a tough nut to crack...
Another pass day. (But January's success with these recent pass days is I've learned not to let perfect be the enemy of good. I've been backsliding, but I haven't been going crazy. I've been binging a bit but only on popcorn with no added butter. The pass days are because I've just been letting myself relax a bit while I work through some major stress in my work life.)
As for my exercise goals, my main one is for flexibility. I've inherited my Mother's stiffness. I was commenting today to my husband that since we've moved to our new house which has an inground pool, I am so much less stiff, even in the winter when the pool is closed. The daily swimming for 5/6 months helps carry me through the winter apparently.7 -
@Jana_2020 we are here for you. just keep on keeping on. you are demonstrating "applying lessons learned" by changing your choices while stress eating to something less damaging than you might have reached for in the past. YAY YOU! Well done!3

Consistency is one of the prime objectives of UAC. It’s good to see people sticking with the 3 requirements.

@mshawski I recommend that you use a Smart BMI calculator, which takes into account your frame size etc. A standard BMI calculator labels some of our elite athletes as obese. Google Smart BMI and a number of them will appear.

10 mile walk. My son (several states away) is training for a half marathon so I am mirroring his long runs with my walks. It is a fun sort of motivation.
Goals are more mental than physical these days. 7 -

Consistency, and creating habits which support our desire to be fit/healthy are what we strive for in UAC.
As we work on building better habits, logging how we did on the 3 basic for each day is as important achieving them.
This is why we have our Champions list.
👍🏻 Bravo for logging no matter what

We are all human. We may have bad days, but we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again. No apologies needed. We learn from it!
You owned it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
