Due to the demands of moving from our home/farm, I don’t have enough bandwidth to track. Frankly, we don’t have a functioning kitchen. I’ll check back in after we have completed moved from this place. I’ll be back. This has been a 6 month process. It’s not over yet

I prefer to use measurements rather than a scale. Your body weight as measured by a normal scale causes too much unnecessary emotional distress. Today, I chose to spend a Pass Day. I tracked activity, and intake for most of the day. I intentionally did not track my evening dinner at a restaurant. It was still a successful…

@biketheworld Reflecting on your post about taking responsibility. Recently one of my senior citizen friends told me that he was taking insulin “just like his 83 year old sister.” He was having a problem keeping his sugar under control. He called his sister and complained that she appeared to eat anything that she wanted.…

@biketheworld Thanks for your very interesting and insightful post. I’ve never thought about the burden & revulsion attached to the 3 word phrase “you have too” or “I have to”. For the last few months, I have been losing weight without any conscious effort. After several years as a UAC daily poster, I’ve developed satiety…

Exercise was not an issue today! Active stretching for 30 minutes in the morning Non-stop farm chores and home moving activities for 90+ minutes in the afternoon and evening Calories: well under my limit

Exercise: 32 minutes walking Tracking: good Calories: under limit barely

Another day of enormous activity as we prepare to move from our home and farm. Exercise: active stretching; horseback riding; walking with a horse with a beautiful 2 year old boy named Wyatt astride; and more farm chore activities Tracking: good Calories: under my limit

Exercise: lots of walking on the farm. 37 minutes is tracked. Lots more movement was bonus and not tracked Calories: definitely tracked and under my limit

This was a beautiful fall day in the country. The corn harvest is in full view all around where I live. Exercise: 75+ measurable minutes of walking plus lots more outside activities Tracking: good Calories: under my limit

Congratulations to all our Winner’s Circle qualifiers!!! It’s not easy to achieve! Well done!!

Congratulations to our Winner's Circle!! I close out this month with 4 pass days. I feel good about the month. For the last 5 months, both my wife, Rose and I, have been overwhelmed with getting our home and farm ready for sale. Despite having less than 2 weeks left before our move, we are on the downhill run. We have not…

@MadisonMolly2017 Sorry to learn of your tinnitus! I deliberately came looking for you. We have contracts on both our home+7.5 acres and the farm house/outbuildings/30 acres parcel. We have packed and donated more than 60% of what we had here in the house. 20% is staying here for the new buyers and the remainder will get…

It's very interesting to learn about the fitness apps used by so many of the team members. Today was a pass day for me. Rose cooked dinner and dessert for a son-in-law's birthday. I'm definitely over my limit and no tracking. Tomorrow will be back on track.

A very busy beginning to move items from our home to storage and to other people. A 3 yes day.

I’ll not be in the Winner’s Circle but I’ll be checking in every day. Exercise: active stretching for 30 minutes. My stretching exercises regimen has helped me avoid back pain and to be much more balanced as a horse back rider. My chronic lumbar tightness interfered with my ability to move with the horse’s movement. Also…

Once per month, we really need you to do one thing for the UAC. Please take 3 minutes and share your enthusiasm about our UAC team. The last week of each month, I post a promotion ad on the MFP Challenge Board. You may have found the UAC via one of those posts. Now, we need you to encourage others to join us. Please help…

@Mrs_Hoffer Thanks so much! Your leadership of the Ultimate Accountability Challenge team members is an encouragement to all of us! Thanks, RangerRickL

This was my life enhancing exercise for today! I had a 3 yes day! @SummerSkier Thanks for your post and always healthy attitude! Your friend, Ranger Rick L

@SummerSkier sorry about Bandits abscess! Last week was my first time horseback since I returned to our farm last May. Now, I am riding to get my horses tuned up for their new home at a center for equestrian activities and therapy for persons with disabilities. Above are Charlie and Shae ( she is the beautiful paint…

@WhatMeRunning You are so right! I need the accountability with others. If I am only accountable to myself, I cheat and quickly rationalize why it is okay. Today's report: 1) Calories: under my limit 2) Tracking: a bit heavy on any estimates. Good 3) Exercise: 50 minutes of walking and active stretching.

Out of the Winner’s Circle: Pass day #4.
