@KCJen - You are discovering the biggest UAC secret of all. You don't win by joining any certain month(s) and making it through with 3 or fewer pass days for the month(s). You win by daily accounting of your progress towards the 3 UAC health goals. It doesn't matter what time period that accounting takes place, just that…

That quote is so true. Healthy eating is not about plants vs. animals. It's simply establishing regular eating habits that are as healthy and nutritious as you can achieve. It's really more "fresh whole foods" vs. "processed/pre-packaged foods". Successful diet plans just so happen to revolve around that principle,…

@Mrs_Hoffer @snowshoe072 I personally have no plans or aspirations to give up yogurt, eggs or fish, but do consume less, like 2-3 times/week. I do look for whole, grass fed milk (when possible) for yogurt. Eggs and fish are just for the omega-3:omega-6 fatty acid profiles and I stick to pasture raised eggs and wild caught…

This. Very much this. In everything. Not just diet & exercise.

January 23 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used Historically speaking, cravings are not an issue so much as grazing or mindless eating due to nerves. Usually something easily accessible. As folks here on UAC got to witness I did deal with legitimate cravings while on ketosis last year, which were ultimately tied to carb intake and my body…

January 22 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used This and yesterday's topics are nice and timely! I'll tackle both today since I'm feeling more up to it. I've struggled keeping up with MFP the last week or so, part of it is time but part of it is doldrums as referenced in the opener! 🤷♂️ SAD never affected me really until perhaps last…

@snowshoe072 in my opinion you shouldn't have feel that you need to give everything up and go 100% WFPB, but just strive towards that. If you get there, even if just sporadically, great! You will be light years ahead of the average person, and will reap health benefits for sure compared to the near 0% WFPB that the average…

January 20 Nope. 4 pass days used While I can technically count the day as 3xYes, the truth is today was not OK. I ate my planned breakfast and lunch and then ate a bunch of chocolate chips. So many in fact I'm still satiated. It's all nerves and anxiety. I've been mindful of that building up and trying to avoid it but…

We are 2/3 of the way through January! For anyone doing new things this year we are now 3 weeks in to your new plans! It seems like January just began, but the end of the month is so much closer than when it began! Let's finish this month and get a strong start for February!

Very timely @jamcnewman thank you

There were so many very good NSV's it feels a bit weird to pick one, but this one jumped out for me personally because one person's success has inspired others.

@Mrs_Hoffer may your son heal quickly and find the strength to manage any difficulties ahead. He sounds like a great guy (no surprise) and it's a real shame this happened this way. God bless!

January 15 ✅✅✅ 3 pass days used Today seemed a bit calmer now after the flurry of activities required to now be forced to do nothing. 🤪 On the one hand, being locked in with all of my ready food supplies will make sticking to meal plans easier. Curiously though I decided to eat some of the pizza we had delivered for the…

Congrats @MadisonMolly2017 that is an amazing streak!

You might check if it would help to balance things with fats like nuts, peanuts, seeds, avocados, etc in place of some other sources of fats (oils come to mind). Then look at the net carbs per plant based food (not necessarily per day) and see if there are any discoveries to make there, some have very high sugar to fiber…

Outside of plantar fasciitis bringing an end to running for the last 6 months (and even preventing walks for exercise for 3 months), a surgical procedure requiring no exercise for a few weeks, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and associated holiday stress and indulgences, and even COVID now (mild symptoms for me but no…

A quick catch up post. Last couple of days have been a blur as COVID is running through the house. Lots to do. 3xYes today and yesterday.

MEAL PREP I thought it might be timely to revisit a somewhat recurring topic. We have a lot of people who are newer to UAC who may have some surprising tips of their own, or could maybe use some pointers themselves? My meal prep routines have seen some changes with my shift from clean keto to WF(mostly)PB. So I'll admit to…

@hannahwinner20 - I second @mshawski excellent recommendation to go to a running shoe store. Each model in each brands line of shoes are designed based on the needs of your feet and your gait. Nobody on the internet can analyze you, your feet and gait and make a shoe recommendation that is any better than throwing a dart…

January 11 ✅✅✅ 3 pass days used Been so busy. But all is quite well. I'm happily busy. My foot is responding well to stretching several times/day. I need to not test it though for a long while. I wish I knew how long. At this point it can't be too long of a wait based on the number of failed "comebacks" attempted. Maybe…

@donna25trinity - I'm not familiar with the Samsung app, so not sure how it stacks up. As for app suggestions, for getting started you can't go wrong with the main free apps, MapMyRun, Strava, etc. Strava now has a few of the features that made them popular available only with subscription now (I have a paid subscription),…
