Yes x3 Went on a walk with my co-teacher and we finished the walk at school so we could put together 60 boxes of materials for students. 12k steps and lots of lifting and moving of items.

Yes x3

Yes x 3 though barely Walked just 40 minutes today and no bodyweight exercises because we weren't able to leave for a walk until after 7 pm. I'm spending a lot of time creating math training videos and ppts for teachers in addition to preparing for my own 5th graders' imminent return... it's been a bit crazy!

Yes x3 Still super busy with longgg days in teacher prep so didn't close my diary til after midnight. But was under and exercised.

Yes x3 Today on a visit to family I convinced my nephew to get off his iPad (sigh) and join me outside! We got very involved with observing bees. :) I stayed under on calories though not by as large of a margin as most days. However I'm still in it!

Yes x3 Things have been very busy and stressful this week as we are in the midst of training for the school year. I have been staying up late and working too much. Today my brain hit its limit so I stopped work for the night at 6, did my exercises, and went on an 85 minute walk with my husband. I needed the time to do…

Yes x3 Very busy with work training and was up to 2 am last night but I stayed under (eating most but not all exercise calories) and exercised with walks and bodyweight.

Yes x3 Walked to work today to prepare some student materials in my classroom. Even though it's less than a ten-minute walk each way, it was still amazing how easy it felt to rack up steps in a day that included a mini-commute and walking around in the school. It's so much harder when I'm just walking circles in my…

Yes x3 Walk and bodyweight exercises. No wine tonight. Been very busy this week starting back with (virtual) teacher training weeks.

Yes x3 Just a 50 minute walk instead of the usual 60-70 because halfway through we got soaked in a rainstorm. Oh well, we had fun!

Yes x3 Afternoon walk in between the bouts of rain. Didn't do dessert so stayed well under.

NSV was when on vacation last month my aunt said she's never seen me this thin and in shape. She asked how I did it and I said doing short strength workouts five days a week plus tracking my calories daily. Aka it took a lot of work! I told her about the UAC and will probably send her the link for September. Today yes x3.…

Yes x3 I realized today how big of a role taking steps every hour is. Although I walked for an hour outside and did a bit of post-dinner apartment circle walking to get my total up to 10k, I get more calories when I make sure to hit my Fitbit's 250 step per hour goal.

Happy Birthday! And thanks for taking so much of your time to maintaining this group. It's affected so many lives for the better! Yes x3

Of course! Just wanted the right person to be credited. I love how you share great thoughts by UAC members-- it really lifts everyone up! Today was yes x3 Exercise long walk and exercises. Delicious salmon shallot dinner. When I want to catch up with friends, instead of a zoom video call, I prefer to put in a wireless ear…

Agree! :)

@RangerRickL l believe that was actually @readyornot1234 who wrote those inspiring words

Yes x3 I ate a ridiculous amount today but that was due to biking almost 20 miles made up of three separate errands trips here in DC and 15k steps. Was under by 150 cal but that includes eating almost all of my 1000 exercise calories.... Craziness :)

Yes x3 Bike ride in the morning and stayed within calorie range without needing to use the exercise calories

Yes x3 A few months ago I started trying to take a Sabbath rest. From Saturday 5pm until Sunday 5pm I have my phone set to block messages and anything online (basically only allowing photos, music, podcasts, Fitbit, MFP). I use the time to relax, cook, watch movies, walk, and read. It's been so relaxing.

Yes x3 Ate a lot but also walked 85 min and did 50 min workout. Kept myself from eating dessert so I could stay 100 under :)

Yes x3 For some reason I was quite hungry today. I wonder if it's because of having three under days in a row after more than a week of vacation eating. I also have been craving savory but not sweet lately. But I walked in the morning, did my home exercises, and did a little extra apartment walking after dinner to stay…

You're welcome! I always love seeing others' photos in the UAC group so wanted to contribute as well!

@Chinkiri that sounds incredible! Enjoy the Mediterranean / beach! Today is yes x 3 Made bruschetta with cherry tomatoes and basil from my balcony garden (will post a photo sometime this month-- it's so much large than back in May!) that I enjoyed with cheese and salami. Healthy? Not that much. Delicious? Oh yes! My…

Thank you!

Yes x3 It's funny how after over-eating on vacation, the first few days when you're back and eating normally again you end up feeling hungry in the afternoon. It's like my stomach is used to being overfed three meals a day + snacks. It felt good to reign that in yesterday and today and reset my stomach's calibration. Today…

Aug 1, 2, 3 = 3 passes (on vacation) Aug 4 = yes x3 with logging, under, and exercise of 30 min bike ride and 30 min walk Posting my text from the Introductions section below: I'm back for August! This is actually my one year UAC anniversary as I joined in August 2019. I can't believe I made it a whole year of logging…

Hi everyone! I'm back for August! This is actually my one year UAC anniversary as I joined in August 2019. I can't believe I made it a whole year of logging every day except for vacations :) I'm starting a few days late since I just got back from a 10-day family vacation in a cottage by a lake up in New Hampshire. It was…

Yes x3 Went on two shorter walks and ended with 14k steps. Ate under my limit and am ready for vacation! Time to hike, sit by the lake, and keep my phone turned off :) See you all in August! I'll be joining the Aug group a few days late.

Thanks @RangerRickL and everyone else! I'm so grateful for this group and the supportive people in it! Today was yes x3 Day #8 with no wine. It's amazing how easy it is to stay under without drink calories :)
