@MadisonMolly2017 when I was in 6th grade, I had the most important teacher of my life, Mr Rhoades. He would read books aloud; challenged us to read and to write creatively. One time he asks to write something to our future adult selves-to-be. I wrote a letter to me that asked that I not let die the child-side of then-me…

@JennyRebecca1978 Thanks for your opening post! When I am home in IL, I set my alarm clock to allow enough time for my usual exercise and active stretching. During the winter season in Arizona, I still set an alarm for stretching and follow that time with hiking. Other exercises are more incidental than intentional. Today:…

Today’s post: Thanks to my fellow team members, I stay on target most days. I need to be accountable to you so that I can keep fit to do the outdoors activities that I love. I weighed in today at the sane weight as I did on May 2, 2021. That is the date that I returned from a winter in Arizona to a more sedentary life in…

@WhatMeRunning Your post is one of the most important posts that has ever been written for the encouragement of our UAC team of athletes! Thank you so much! Your friend, Rick

Today’s post Exercise: okay but much less than I would like Calories: under my limit Tracking: good

@znaoiec Thanks for your excellent post. We raised our 4 kids to love the outdoors. Long distance multiple day bike trips and horseback riding and camping in the western United States. Now, Rose and I love to hike in the Arizona desert (usually November through April). @donna25trinity Congratulations!! You have been very…

@biketheworld wow!! Thanks for that wonderful story of a stranger’s encouragement to you! My report: Lots of walking today. At least 43 minutes Tracking was difficult but I feel confident in my results Calories: under my limit

Being thoughtful about my portions and choosing lower calorie options has been a result of participating in the UAC. It is now a habit to “see” what I will eat before I eat it. Today’s report: Exercise: 42 minutes walking Tracking: good and a lot of veggies this evening Calories: under my my limit

Exercise: active stretching 15 minutes and walking for 93 minutes Calories: under my limit Tracking: good

@LazyBlondeChef Thanks for the opening post on NEAT. I had to chuckle with your comment about learning to be more inefficient. Years ago, I had read that those who had a lower metabolic rate (I am one of those) have learned to be very movement-efficient. I appreciate you and your post.

Another beautiful summer day and lots of exercise, both intentional and incidental. Intentional exercise: 20 minutes active stretching while listening to Pandora Relaxation Radio and then 25 minutes cardio/strength listening to Pandora Cardio Classic Rock. It's a nice pairing. Calories: well below margin but way too little…

@SummerSkier Very well said! The NSVs are the highlight of the UAC! My post today. An unusual day in that I drove for several hours today to pass on a piece of furniture owned by my wife's great grandmother on the maternal side. I have a pickup truck and I had well wrapped the hutch with blankets and a waterproof…

My NSV is that I am wearing some jeans that I put aside a couple of years ago. And, this morning, my cardio endurance was better than the week before. Considering all of the recent distractions, I am very happy about that. Today's report: Exercise: active stretching for 20 minutes followed by cardio/strength for 25 minutes…

@TwistedSasette Thanks for those photos. You have earned the right to be very proud of wearing your ring!

@SModa61 I had to look up the word 'cozzie". Congratulations @Winner_in_Life May your 26 kg stay lost!! Well done! @donna25trinity Thanks for your inspiring post! @WhatMeRunning I have always had flat feet and PF has always been a problem for me. I agree with the advice about stretching and strengthening the calf, glute…

Today was an unusually fun day at the law firm. One of our clients gives scholarships to graduates of his high school. I got to be a part of interviewing finalists who are all so inspiring. The fun news is that he gave awards to all of them. A nice day of virtuous work!! My UAC post: Calories: under my limit Tracking: easy…

@readyornot1234 You are so right! @SModa61 and I are in very different parts of the country, but we are both trapped in the real estate tornado zone. Never too soon to start letting go of what we have chosen to keep because we had room to keep it.
-
My why is very succinct: I want to be fit for the activities in life that I really enjoy. Horseback riding; hiking; in the past and hopefully in the future, kayaking. Today UAC check in: Tracking: easy. I was significantly under my limit. (the last two days would have been nice to average together, but that is not the UAC…

On most days, I am very conscious of the which food portions have how many calories. But, today was another oddball day. Unlike @victorious55 when declaring "the kitchen is closed", our kitchen is closed for 3 days due to sanding, varnishing and then the final polish. Rose and I went to a Greek restaurant and then for…

During the winter season while I was in AZ, my usual daily exercise included active stretching; walking and horse related activities. Since I got home at the beginning of May, everything is irregular. I still do my morning active stretching and most often add walking. A minimum of twice per week, I add body-weight strength…

Exercise: active stretching plus walking Calories: well under my limit Tracking: good

Hobbies are often misunderstood as mere non-productive frivolity. Today’s posts illustrate that hobbies are often our most important and fulfilling part of our experiences. I love outdoor activities. Since 1994, I have lived on a farm with hay fields, barns, horses and wildlife too. In the 90’s and until 2003, we added…

@MadisonMolly2017 Thank you for your artistic and articulate posts!! @SummerSkier Thanks for sharing your photos of your life with horses and in particular beloved Bandit. @mshawski You are a brilliant and talented person!!

Today: Calories: Unintentionally well below my limit Tracking: easy Exercise: enough walking but I need to add some strength too. I've been off balance by the chaos of home renovations and repairs. But, a very good day
-
I do not track on celebratory event days. On the other hand, I still choose carefully and I just don't overeat like I used too. Being in the UAC for so many years has changed my normal sense of portions. @Chinkiri is right that the current USA idea of a portion is ridiculously enormous. I really appreciate today's post by…

Exercise: walking for more than 30 minutes plus lots of lifting and carrying Calories: below my limit Tracking: good

@Winner_in_Life 25kg lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
-
@WhatMeRunning Since I know that I cannot ever control anyone else nor know why someone feels the way that they do, the best that I can do is ask permission to walk alongside of another.

@znaoiec Thanks for today's opening post. Like you, I have had constant (but wonderful) family events since July 1. Today is the last day of those ongoing celebrations. I did manage to squeak through on the calories, exercise and tracking, but it was not pretty. By this time tomorrow, Rose and I, will return to being a…
