    Wake Up Call
    Hey UAC Family,

    I love volunteering. It brings me back to my community. I’ve been consistent with personal exercise. But I was reading this article and within the video that is unrelated to the article had the phrase (or something remotely close to it) “You can’t outrun a bad diet.” It was like somebody hit me between the forehead and a flash of light went off.

    Question: Is there a meme, photo, phrase, saying or story that makes you “snap out of it" or have an "aha moment"?



    Backup Plan Ideas from May 10th Post
    I couldn’t resist compiling a list of my favorite Backup Plan thoughts and ideas. (Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 for the prompt)

    And I even copied more or paraphrased @ideas2 @victorious55 and @ashleycarole86 in my personal files. Thanks to all who shared that day.

    This is for you @KCJen

    “Now that I’m on maintenance, daily tracking, and weighing means I have a lot of data to support my choices.”

    "It’s all a matter of the choices I make. Sometimes I choose to take time out, but it’s a conscious choice and time limited, and I get right back at it fairly quickly." @TerriRichardson112

    "Since I work full time, my days are somewhat scheduled. I rarely go 'off the rails' M-F during the day. What gets me is evenings. So my plan is to under-schedule my meals during the day. Leave as much leeway as I can for the evening - I know I'll use it up later!" @SilverSage1

    (@SilverSage1 I like to think of your comment as the "king, prince, pauper" approach;-)

    "I have no emergency plan. I take each situation as it comes. Life is too short to always be punishing ourselves and waiting for a better tomorrow." @SummerSkier

    "I’m writing my Emergency Back-up Plan down.
    1. RELAX. It’s not as bad as your Monkey Brain tells you it is. Take perspective.

    2. ASSESS my FIVE S’s: sleep, stress, salt, sugar, sadness"
    @MadisonMolly2017

    "I start my reset immediately. There is no next month, next week, etc.
    My suggestion is to come up with the menu that will help you jumpstart your reset button. You can build your menu from your good days in MFP.

    Make a list of motivating, encouraging sentences to move you forward." @victorious55

    "The book (Atomic Habits) talks about how important the environment, and taking control over it is, and how much the habits are affected by signals from the environment." @ideas2

    My omg moment is a encounter in the grocery store of a very full shopping cart (not mine) in the isle full of crappy sugar, processed food being pushed by a very overweight unhealthy looking person. I hope this is not to judgemental but it is what snaps me back to reality. Only I can make the choices I deem necessary for a healthy life and I get it different people eat different things but you wanted to know what works for me this is it. I don’t ever want to be that person. Quite frankly it is upsetting to see as one can be quite sure that unless that person makes some changes that can be sustained this person will probably suffer many health problems in the course of their life. What have we done to our population to encourage such poor nutritional choices? I don’t think it costs anymore to eat healthy than it does to eat unhealthy. What do you think?
