3 Yesses 5 pass days used Exercise was a 3.5 mile run. ☁️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ Yesterday, the shortest day of the year, sunset was at 4:20 here. Today sunset was at 4:21. Things are looking up! 😂 Taking it one day at a time. 😉😊

@mshawski, wow, that IS a high heart rate so no wonder you were concerned. I don't have an Apple watch, I have a Garmin, but I was curious if maybe others have experienced the same issue as you. It appears the answer is yes. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7828286 Most likely the sensor is defective. Perhaps it is…

3 Yesses 5 pass days used Exercise was a 3 mile run ☁️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ I am really amazed at how well I'm doing this month keeping my eating in control and actually losing weight! Dec 1st I was 136.2. This morning I was 132.4! Have to attribute it to the UAC. If it wasn't for the rules and the accountability I doubt I'd be…

3 Yesses 🙂 5 Pass Days Used Exercise was a 3 mile run in mixed rain and snow. ❄💧❄💧❄💧🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ Glad I'm feeling back to normal after my booster vax! 😊 Take it one day at a time. Good, bad, or even ugly--we all have those days--just move on and don't give up!

Tracked - Yes Calories - Yes Exercised - Yes, the bare minimum, a 20 minute walk on the treadmill. Pass Days Used - 5 @biketheworld great weight loss success! 😀
-
Tracked - Yes Within Calories - Yes Exercise - No, I didn't want to push myself with activity since I'm still not feeling 100% after Thursday's pfizer booster. Happy that I'm feeling better than yesterday and perhaps by tomorrow I'll feel pretty much back to normal. Want to be able to meet my running partner Monday for a…

Pass Day 4. Ugh, have been on the couch all day with flu like symptoms after getting the Pfizer booster yesterday. Temp 100.4, achy all over, feeling weak, slight headache. Hoping I feel a whole lot better by tomorrow! 🤒
-
Using my 3rd pass day today as I didn't get in any intentional exercise. Got the Pfizer booster this morning so decided to take it easy. I did manage to get 8000+ steps, mainly because I had some shopping I needed to do. Arm sore and starting to feel a little yucky this evening. Temp is 99.5 right now and I'm having the…

3 Yesses today, 2 pass days used so far. Exercise was a 3 mile run. 🌬🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ NSV - I was very proud of myself for not have a post-race celebratory binge after my 5k last weekend! Normally that would be my excuse to pig out! 😆

3 Yesses today, 2 pass days used so far. Today's exercise was a 6 mile run 🌥🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

3 Yesses and 2 pass days used so far. Exercise was a 4.55 mile run. MFP is acting weird. My Garmin shows I burned 417 calories running, and that got synced to MFP but MFP also gave me an additional 1240 calorie adjustment! I know that isn't correct. 😆 And then after I completed my diary for the day it said if every day was…

Using Pass Day 2 today. Rest day from exercise and started to track but got lazy and stopped late afternoon. Within calories? Maybe, maybe not. ;) Back to the 3 rules tomorrow. :smiley:

Awww, thank you @WhatMeRunning! ☺

@biketheworld re your "congratulations on the first place finish. That is AMAZING and makes you speedy so don’t minimize it by saying the speedy women weren’t there, I would do/say the same thing, but when I hear you say it, I cringe because you ROCKED that race and are an inspiration to others, including me!" Awww, thank…

3 Yesses :smiley: 5k went well. It rained during warm-up but during the race itself it was just sprinkling and no wind to speak of. After I crossed the finish line the rain really picked up and even more so as we waited for the awards ceremony. But it was worth the wait, both my running partner (he's 78 years old, such an…
-
3 Yesses today 1 pass day used so far No formal exercise today because I wanted to give my legs/muscles a rest before the 5k I'm doing tomorrow. But I got in activity by sweeping the driveway, washing a few windows and vacuuming. Plus did some gentle stretching. Surprised that I had 7394 steps today, especially because the…

@mshawski rain is forecast for my 5K on Saturday too. Ugh, but at least they are saying it'll be a light rain... Glad I'm doing the 5K and not the 10K. Wish the temp was going to be 61 like yours, that would be wonderful! It's going to be 47 degrees (feels like 41) here in Seattle and 12 mph wind! Have a good race. :blush:
-
3 Yesses for Dec 9th. Exercise was very light, just a 20 minute slow walk on the treadmill to get the minimum for the UAC exercise rule. I have a 5K race I'm doing on Saturday so I like to give my legs/muscles a rest for the 2 days prior. How do I determine my calorie budget? MFP has my daily goal set at 1350 calories in…

3 Yesses today, 1 Pass Day Used. Exercise - Treadmill - 20 minutes of walking and 1 mile run (half a mile at 5mph and half a mile at 6.2mph) I've been here since September 2021 (although I also joined UAC a year or two ago for 1 or 2 months). I think what I've learned I actually learned before joining UAC and that's why I…

@ideas2 so true!

@znaoiec that is actually what we should all be doing--actually feel and deal with the emotions. But so very hard for us to do! Hard to break that habit of turning to food for comfort and/or escape from those yucky feelings. That is great you are working on it! I have found the book "The Beck Diet Solution--train your…

3 Yesses today 1 Pass Day used so far Exercise was a 4 mile run 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ When the emotion hits and it makes you want to eat: Turn up the music and dance. Shadow box to get out the anger and frustration. Scream into a pillow. If you feel you must eat for the calming effect try something like an apple. Sometimes it's…
-
Pass Day 1 used today. Walked 20 minutes but didn't finish tracking and most likely went over my calorie budget. Tomorrow is another day! 😉 So true, you can't lose weight with exercise alone!
-
@mshawski sorry to hear about you possibly having an IT band injury, especially a week before your race. Hate when that happens! I too have a race next Saturday, a 5k, and have been noticing some off and on pain in my right hammy. Just mild, but I need to be cautious about speed training so that it doesn't get worse before…

3 Yesses Exercise was a 5 mile run. 39 degrees & breezy. Brrrr, cold at first, glad it didn't take long to warm up! 🌬🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️☁️

3 Yesses Exercise was the bare minimum since it was a rest day from running and I didn't make it to the gym to use the weight machines. Walked 20 minutes on our treadmill and then did dumbbells for a whole 5 minutes. 😁

Tracked - Yes Calories - Yes Exercised - Yes Ran 3 miles. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

@dsgoingtodoit ((Hugs)) and congratulations on being a breast cancer survivor, and even more ((hugs)) for all that you've been through this year besides your diagnosis (I read your intro). I'm not sure of your age but you look young in your picture so am guessing your children are young which makes it all the more…

Wow, so many UACers ending the month with 3 Yesses, you are all an inspiration! I on the other hand decided to be lazy and not track. 🤭 Did I stay within calories? - I think so but not entirely sure. Exercise- it was raining out and I was feeling like I was getting a cold, so I decided to stay inside and use our treadmill.…
