April 1

Huge congratulations to everyone in the Winner's Circle! Very inspiring!

Today is a yes for all 3, so off to an ok start

Thank you @enlightenme3
Today I went to my first swim team practice in decades. Followed that up with weight training. If I don't die from muscle soreness tonight or tomorrow, this may very well be my routine. I like the fact I felt great after the swim this morning. I was also asked if I was interested in teaching swimming or life guarding or being the aquatic director since I have experience coordinating. So that is something to mull over.
But exercise is done for today!

Happy Birthday Deby! And congrats to all the champions of consistency!

Today is my first day doing this...and I just scraped by the pass...but workout to the rescue...

So: 20220401: yes yes yes.
Did a 40min Heather Robinson Full Body Stregth Workout with Dumbells. Very much my jam, I feel great!

Portion sizes still need some work though.... any tips?

Hi @lodilas 🥰
I went looking for graphics on portion sizes just yesterday and I found these helpful….


“Handy hint: trace around one hand of each member of your family and stick it to your fridge as a visual reminder of how much to portion per person.”

Just to encourage everyone that is coming along. Please don't quit. Keep tracking your calories daily success is sure.

Last month, I did this exercise every evening after dinner and it has really helped. Please check it out...

Great suggestion! I used to do the “Walk at Home” workouts a few years back when I started with MFP. It definitely helped me lose the pounds and get into better shape. I think I’ll give it a try again - thanks for the reminder 😁

Stayed under calorie wise, completed rowing, flexibility work. Tracked and logged. I do hope to accomplish some goals in April I would like to drop my last 5lbs, I planned my habit tracker for strength and flexibility work as flexibility seems to slide on me. I would also like to continue to incorporate more whole food items in my food selections. So far since I started these food choices in March it’s working and I am focusing on less meat, more fruits and veggies. Best of luck to all this month.

Personal goals for April 2022:

Every month, I like to revisit my previous goals and reset them for the new month.

1. Plan to be in winners circle (track everything as expected in this UAC) .
2. Not more than 3 pass days - If I did not meet this goal, I will continue posting everyday. I am a champion
3. Stay honest (even if it puts me out of the circle for the month). This is very important to me. This UAC challenge is a honour (honor) system.
4. Maintain the habits of "kitchen close"
5. Create a habit of not eating more than 1 serving of nuts. "Don't go nuts". I am getting a handle on this goal. But will continue to maintain it!
6. I will like to work on not going over my micro for sugar for the day. This means I need to work on the fruits I eat since most of my sugar come from my fruits. I like fruits, but I have discovered that they could derail me.
7. Forgive my mistakes (forgive myself) and don't leave the UAC for this month even if I failed. Very important for consistency and accountability.
8. Encourage others where possible.
