@StayFITTer this is strength! I’ve learned to only buy dark bitter chocolate; it’s too hard to only eat one piece of Lindt Choc 😂 Until I have the strength, I use strategies to satisfy cravings and avoid going overboard. ✅ exercise - 1 hr bodypump & 1 hr cycling there and back with added weight (i.e. toddler) ✅ calories -…

@StayFITTer what a great idea. I’ll see if I can get my Kindle app to read to me. Thank you ☺️

I was racking my brain as it was all very familiar and then remembered I have Dr Carol Dweck’s book, Mindset! I bought it before my son was born and then got busy with him and work and didn’t get to finish it. These days I tend to only read books I can download on my phone. But I’ll be picking this one up again as I…

✅ calories ✅ exercise - 75 minutes of Iyengar followed by 45mins of Bodypump. During BP I started to feel unwell. I have another cold! 😵‍💫 ✅ tracking

Really enjoyed reading everyone’s NSV. Funny and motivational! ✅ exercise - ran 25 minutes, yoga 25 minutes ✅ calories ✅ tracked

NSV, wearing jeans and feeling like I look alright in them. ✅ exercise - took a TRX class for the first time and I loved it!!! It was very challenging but I feel like it will really help me build strength everywhere, including around my joints which would help stabilise them. I don’t know why I didn’t try it sooner 🤷🏻‍♀️ ✅…

The mental boosts of exercise are a big one for me. I feel so dull when I’m sedentary and when exercising regularly I feel on top of the world. I had always prioritised it before but marriage and having a child sidetracked me for a few years. Being active is part of who I’ve always been so I will not let that happen again!…

Something that made me smile, I was holding my friend’s 8 month old baby while we were having lunch and I got a big smiles and laughs from her. My two year old who was sitting next to me looked completely unimpressed. 😂 ✅ exercise - walked over 7 miles pushing a buggy and chasing my toddler in the park. ✅ calories - Met…

✅ exercise - bodypump. I was sor from monday but got through it! ✅ calories - only just after adding my exercise calories. 😅 ✅ tracking

Such great lists! Meditation, cuddles & playing with my son, cuddled with my cats, cleaning (I love cleaning 😂), planning for the next day, just thinking about all the good things in life, reading comments in these thread. ✅ exercise - bike ride 20 minutes. ✅ calories ✅ tracked

@znaoiec great post! This is something I’m sure we can all relate to at one time or another. The inspiration from this group is fantastic! ✅ exercise - bodypump ✅ calories - yes ✅ tracked - yes

I take various supplements, always have, a good multi, fish oil, recently I added glucosamine for my carpal tunnel and NMN which I’m really excited about. I feel normal again, I have energy which has led to me being more social. Who knows if it’s a placebo effect but what I’m finding is that everything doesn’t seem like…

The Autumn has always been my favourite. I used to live in LA and it was a welcomed relief from the heat of the summers and Halloween and NYE had always been my favourite holidays. Living in London it became a relief from my summer allergies and I’ve always been so crazy busy with work running up to Christmas I’ve always…

✅ exercise - walked 7.7 miles ✅ calories - planned to eat at maintenance while on holiday ✅ tracked - As best as possible. It’s difficult when travelling and eating out but used my hand to estimate portion sizes etc.

It used to be a real greenhouse. It’s inside a park. They still have a greenhouse there that’s just for show but they source everything from their real greenhouse which is local. From inside the greenhouse/main dining room there was a stunning view of the park with all if it’s autumn colours. The friends who we went with…

Have to take a pass day today. We went to an amazing greenhouse style restaurant. They only do a 4/5 course set menu. It was all lovely and light with lots of fresh veg done in ways that were difficult to identify. Everything was in Dutch… I wouldn’t even know where to begin to count/track calories. I walked 8 miles!…

@jamcnewman I just love puppy enthusiasm 🥰 but yes you must be careful! 😂 After a year of postponing trips… we’re in Amsterdam this weekend. I ate at maintenance yesterday as planned and I’m finding today I haven’t eaten much at all. I’m just not hungry. I had 1/2 of my breakfast, missed lunch because we were travelling…

@jamcnewman great post! I too love snaccident!! I definitely pre-track before any events or even for days I know I’m going to want more treats. I find it helpful even on days I go over because now when I go ‘over’ it means I’ve eaten maintenance and not actually more than I’ll burn in a day. ✅ exercise - Sarah Beth yoga…

OK I’m back. I really need to exercise first thing. It just gets too difficult to squeeze it in otherwise. ✅ exercise - 20 min yoga sequence ✅ calories ✅ tracking

I really don’t want to take another pass day. Be back in 20 minutes 😂

Wow that’s really inspiring. I really need to keep it in perspective and not feel like I’m letting myself or my family down. I’m doing everything within my control to support optimal health. It’s all I can do really, along with accept my limitations and celebrating the things I am still able to achieve. Thank you for…

✅ Exercise - 20 minutes of glorious yoga ✅ Calories - and within macros too! I did a cheeky swap between gin and a slice of avocado but I fit it in. ✅ Tracking

Hi Everyone! This is the third month in a row that I’ve signed up for UAC. I have a very active toddler and like @rlwagner731 mentioned, I too hate how much I end up on the sidelines. I have yet to join the winners circle but I have made some great progress since September… I’m down 7lbs and several inches (including 1.5”…

I had to post and run earlier. Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to log back in as toddler was going a bit mental this evening. I tracked and ate at maintenance, which is on plan while I’m under the weather. I hope tomorrow to do a light workout… anything, since I haven’t workout at all in several days. I’m so sick of getting…

Pass day

Thai group has helped tremendously. Even though I have yet to join the winners circle I have steadily lost weight. I’ve found the days I use as pass days… I miss exercise because I’m too unwell or I overeat my intended calories but it’s still within maintenance. Considering a year ago I was 20 lbs heavier and not…

Our holiday has been rescheduled for later in the year. I’ve had one cold after another for months now. Little one brings everything home from nursery and has kindly shared all the bugs with me. My immune system isn’t where it should be from not mixing with anyone for the past 18 months or so. I’ve completely lost track of…

❌ calories - meal out. I was pleased with my choices. I didn’t over indulge but it was higher in calories than I thought. Squid and raw tuna starter and steak tartare for main. 1 small slice from a baguette with pat of butter and 6 French fries. Broccoli, green beans and 1 small glass of wine. ✅ exercise - walked over 6…

✅ feeling under the weather again but walked 5 miles ✅ calories - meal delivery ✅ tracked - sorted I’ve been doing pretty good despite the challenges I faced this month. I go on holiday from the 27th so I’ll have about 5 days where I’m not sure how food is going to go. 🤞

I’ve been doing a meal delivery so tracking and calories are taken care of! ✅ bodypump ✅ calories ✅ tracking
