Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 300
June 20 - 29, 202563 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss if2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there. Round 300 – My Plan
So two rounds ago, I wanted to declare that I was going to channel the UAC that I was in back in 2020, when I also first started here (was doing both). An aspect of the UAC was 20 minutes of intentional exercise each day. No constraints on what, just that it is intentional exercise. No saying at the end of the day “oh, I when grocery shopping, that counts”. Cleaning could count (not for me) as long as there was the intent of exercise. Regarding my declaration two rounds ago, life went to heck, again, before I declared intent. I’m taking the opportunity with “300” to do a variant. 30 minutes a day of intentional exercise. No constraints. Does not have to be contiguous. Can be three sets of 10 minutes throughout the day. Having that option got me through some busy days while in the UAC. I would get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. Sometimes that fits when there is no longer period of time available. Good luck all!
6/20 – 128.0 Despite going out to eat, my calories we actually very good yesterday. Pretty much on target. I did meet my 30 minute exercise with a 36 minute walk. I likely would have skipped had I not had the commitment, but also having a daily goal that was not burdensome for time.
6/21 – 127.4 So, yesterday I gave it a go, and headed to Planet Fitness in Maine. Finally!! As I pull in the parking lot, it is filled with brand new equipment being assembled…. No PF workout for me. So, I ran a couple errands. Headed back to the marina where I left DH, and took a walk along the river instead. Calories were spot on. Today is more challenging. Taking the boat to Portland Maine to go to North 43 Bistro for lunch. DH is taking me to my favorite restaurants this round. Handling them carefully. The one helpful part of today is that I get seasick. That might curb my appetite. :P
6/22 – 128.4 After boat ride and dining out with calories that used up most of my day (was thoughtful in my choices), about 8 Pm I could not stay on track any longer and ate a whole box of salt and pepper crackers. Trying to get on track today, but feeling off, which makes it hard.
6/23 – 130.0
6/24 – 129.0 Round 300 is starting to look like round 299. So much for my plans.

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.6
06/20-191.6 💠 - (Trend Weight: 192.2)
06/21 – 189.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 192.1)
06/22-189.8 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.8)
06/23-188.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.5) I am never comfortable or confident in the numbers of a new decade until I hit the 7. That means 187 point anything in this case. That is because I can easily fluctuate up or down several pounds due to water retention, hormones, TMI (potty) or a special event/weight gain. I am cautiously optimistic that I’ll get there soon. Lots of heat warnings out there now including here in Michigan. Stay cool and stay safe my friends! Have a wonderful week!
Challenge 300: Caught up yesterday with both 300 less calories and 30 minutes of the exercise bike. Today I am hoping to get in the 30 minutes of exercise. For me that is much harder than cutting the calories. Due to the continued extreme heat (no A/C), I will probably do two 15 minute sessions. I may add a little strength training on top of it with my hand weights. It’s been quite a while since I’ve used them. I hate these flabbly arms in my sleeveless summer shirts!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/24-190.6 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.4) Well, I’m certainly disappointed in this. But I’m not too surprised because until I hit that 187 point anything, I’m not overly confident in the 180’s decade. Yesterday was a solid C+ if I was grading. Meals were light but dinner was a homemade bowl of chicken noodle soup from the freezer which is noodle heavy. I also had one snack that is normally off limits so there’s that. I think, however, more so, that the increase is likely due to no sleep for two days (This Heat!) and no TMI x 2. I’m hoping that the trend weight which is continuing to inch down is a good indication that the 180’s are still in my very near future. Don’t throw in the towel Donna! Fluctuations happen. Know your body!
Challege 300: I got in my 30 minutes of exercise in 3 different 10 minute sessions. I just didn’t have a full 30 minute stretch of time to do it all at once. Plumbers were here and will be back today to (hopefully) finish up 4 projects I needed overall.

-Meet CI/CO target, net 1500 (lowered from 1750). 🎯
-Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.💓Round 300 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment6/19/25 : 226.8 SW before.
6/20: 225.6✏️🎯💓
Goals easily met yesterday. I may need to lower my CI/CO target to net 1500. Would have been better at exercise but I was stuck around home all afternoon waiting for the AC service to show up. Window was 12:00 – 4:30. He finally came at 5:30. First-world problems, I know.It will be tougher today because of lunch out with friends. I don’t even know where we are going yet. Must. Avoid. French. Fries!
I hope you all like my added color. HA!
6/21: 226.2
✏️🎯💓
Goals met. I will say the arrow almost missed the target altogether, but I was using 1500 CI/CO goal. Got some decent exercise and that helped.I’ll tell you what does not help. Social Media. (I don’t count this group as social media) If I happen to click on an email notification that so-and-so posted this-or-that, I can easily lose an hour (or more!). I have plenty I can do instead and be a better person for it. I think a component of this habit is boredom. It is kind of like mindless snacking. I have a better purpose.
6/22: 225.8
✏️💓
Missed the target. Regret. I had monumental exercise yesterday and stopped caring about CI. My scale reading went down, but I suspect I will pay tomorrow. For me, eating back a few exercise calories is ok but I shouldn’t treat it like a free pass.6/23: 225.6
✏️🎯💓
Disaster was averted yesterday. Without this JGMTD challenge, my steering wheel would have fallen off in my hands and all four tires would have lost contact with the road surface. I am thankful for something as little as paying attention.6/24: 224.0
✏️🎯💓
Spent the afternoon at the public pool with DGS. (Seniors get in free.) 😊 So, my exercise was walking to the pool some splashing around in the pool. There is nothing more inspirational than having to get half naked in public. I know nobody is paying attention (in fact I am probably invisible to most people) but it seems like I am in the spotlight.6/25: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
I should be ecstatic about the scale this morning, but yesterday was so abnormal it shouldn’t even count. Last evening I felt like I could get the stomach flu. The feeling passed before bedtime, but I did skip supper altogether. Maybe it was a late response to my long bike ride in the heat midmorning yesterday. Perhaps a touch of heat stroke. I had a cobb salad out with wife for lunch, and she had the same, so it wasn’t food related. I felt fine until about 4:00pm.It was HOT yesterday but I stayed well hydrated, I thought.

6/296/20 I have six+ weeks to improve this recent slippery trend… up 3.5lbs since this day last year. Determined to stop the 🎢 ! Journal, reflect, discipline & press on. Last round was a great start even though the scale didn’t reflect it. This round will be 💪🏻. “Celebrate health with action!”
6/21 Thank u all for welcoming Eleanor! Solid day one ✅ all measures. I did the 300 jumps ⏱️soon after water & coffee (3x100)… & set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Several “snacks”🚶♀️🤸🏼🏋️♂️throughout the day. 🏆Kcals & macros. Onward!
6/22 DNW Rotten sleep. Will push forward & perhaps nap later today. #300 challenge on goal. Over in carbs. Low protein. 1400 cals. Portion control continues as THE constant challenge. Must constantly renew my mindset and remain present.
6/23 good day. Checked my one week averages: Pg 100; Fg 50; Cg 20. I dont track 💦- approx. 70 - 80 oz. Still feeling bloated & lethargic from avg less than six hours sleep…
I’m wearing my chauffeur cap this week… Taking Tucker to and from soccer camp. Looking forward to our time together.
NSV: keeping the #300 challenge going is def a REAL challenge… ! Jumping is welcomed in the morning w/ a + attitude but getting in 70 min of 💓Z2 was a HUGE challenge yesterday … But accomplished!✅ I’m thinking that’s what the 10 day challenge is supposed to be like… Doing anything for 10 days. The JGTMD was true genius when the founders started it… Overtime - I’ve lost that mindset “can do/will do” determination and committing to this mini #300 brings it all back as to its original purpose. . I can do anything for 10 days! COME ON! I WILL celebrate with action today! Going on day four….. Let’s do THIS!!!!
6/24 nutrition was excellent yesterday. #3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ - barely made 70 min 💓Z2 but jumping 300×1st thing in the morning is really good! Starts my day with a “plunge” (after coffee & prayer) … Leads into stretching… creates instant energy. Don’t think I “celebrated” the last 20 min of 💓Z2 - but when completed, I felt satisfied/ content/ accomplished. (I broke that into three segments, and by the end of the day, the heat & rationalizations were almost too much.) oh the mind-games! Yes, I can do hard things. Today: tennis & 💦💦💦!
6/25 ⚖️131.8 not really sure I believe this number… an unexpected ⬇️surely to be followed by a ⬆️! Yesterday, I had already completed all of movement goals by 10AM… - ended up eating 1405 cal & all of my macros ✅… I think I overdid the body but it felt pretty good. 💪🏻 I thought perhaps I would sleep well but woke up at 3:30AM. Hunger definitely increases with two hours of intense cardio/heat.
I sense I’m getting back into my full routine pretty steadily now… Jumping rope in the morning definitely sets the tone for the day. My average steps are up which means my mental clarity/peace & purpose is also up…. There’s an undeniable contentment when I take care of myself, mind, body, and soul! Remember THIS!

SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there. Round 300 – My Plan
So two rounds ago, I wanted to declare that I was going to channel the UAC that I was in back in 2020, when I also first started here (was doing both). An aspect of the UAC was 20 minutes of intentional exercise each day. No constraints on what, just that it is intentional exercise. No saying at the end of the day “oh, I when grocery shopping, that counts”. Cleaning could count (not for me) as long as there was the intent of exercise. Regarding my declaration two rounds ago, life went to heck, again, before I declared intent. I’m taking the opportunity with “300” to do a variant. 30 minutes a day of intentional exercise. No constraints. Does not have to be contiguous. Can be three sets of 10 minutes throughout the day. Having that option got me through some busy days while in the UAC. I would get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. Sometimes that fits when there is no longer period of time available. Good luck all!
6/20 – 128.0 Despite going out to eat, my calories were actually very good yesterday. Pretty much on target. I did meet my 30 minute exercise with a 36 minute walk. I likely would have skipped had I not had the commitment, but also having a daily goal that was not burdensome for time.
6/21 – 127.4 So, yesterday I gave it a go, and headed to Planet Fitness in Maine. Finally!! As I pull in the parking lot, it is filled with brand new equipment being assembled…. No PF workout for me. So, I ran a couple errands. Headed back to the marina where I left DH, and took a walk along the river instead. Calories were spot on. Today is more challenging. Taking the boat to Portland Maine to go to North 43 Bistro for lunch. DH is taking me to my favorite restaurants this round. Handling them carefully. The one helpful part of today is that I get seasick. That might curb my appetite. :P
6/22 – 128.4 After boat ride and dining out with calories that used up most of my day (was thoughtful in my choices), about 8 Pm I could not stay on track any longer and ate a whole box of salt and pepper crackers. Trying to get on track today, but feeling off, which makes it hard.
6/23 – 130.0
6/24 – 129.0 Round 300 is starting to look like round 299. So much for my plans.
6/25 – 129.2 So yesterday’s “two” slices of pizza became 3, plus a stella d’oro S cookie. No exercise since the 21st, BUT I got out this morning at 7 and got in a walk, 2.5 miles and 39 minutes. So, 3 out of 6 days so far. Not great, but more than I did last round.

Consistency just sticking with it! I realized I can really up my walking minutes by squeezing in little 10 minutes here and there so that is my strategy this week.
@CamandJarvis way to plan for all the contingencies ! Hope he recovers quickly
@antiderivative jumping jacks are my nemesis ! Good goal!

SW Rnd 300 133.5
6/20 132.5 Haircut yesterday. “Swimming” w/DD#2, DSIL and DGGS. I didn’t feel hungry all day. I need that to stick around! I like @Skyleen75 300 seconds but as a couch potato extraordinaire I feel I have to up that to 300 minutes . Starting today water fitness M-W-F and gym or other home workout to make up minutes.
6/21 137.0 I am speechless! I ate 1 meal yesterday (at Golden Corral) but doubt that it was 5# worth! I did decide to have a glass wine before bed. I can’t remember the last time I had wine.
6/22 133.0 I wasn’t hungry yesterday (imagine THAT!) I ate one me made taco - my first corn tortilla in years! Only 1! A small glass of wine.
6/23 133.0 Ate beef brisket with minimal sauce. Thawed the rack of pork ribs from my freezer and put dry rub on them, wrapped and in the fridge to marinate. Today is my art quilt group so exercise will be later. I was looking forward to water fitness.
6/24 132.0 I’m such a slug! 0 exercise yesterday except walking. I have remembered that I have hand weights (1, 2, & 3#) from carpal tunnel surgery 30+ years ago. I can use those intentionally every evening! Edit: my plan didn’t exactly work out because my DVD player wouldn’t detect the disc. I tried several so ended up doing a short workout on my phone. So frustrating!
6/25 132.0 Terrible night with leg muscles cramping. Going to water fitness this morning.

Especially since I am a tad sore in my upper body from including more calisthenics work which means I'm likely holding on to a tad bit more water. Overall, feeling good. I have tomorrow mostly planned out for food. Need to determine what we're doing Friday for meals since I'm off and I'm getting groceries. I also need to figure out another dinner to meal prep for next week. I've chosen a lunch and one dinner which I've added the necessary ingredients to already. Little baby steps will get me there in the end!

@SModa61 I just realized something on one of my 15 minutes sessions (of 2) last night. I had not been on the stationary bike in awhile and it was left on more advanced setting from when I last rode it regularly. For the past few days my knees have really been struggling. When I lowered it to a faster but easier level (more fat burning than muscle building), I was able to fly on it and with no pain! So here I am back at beginner's levels but able to ride, ride, ride without any excuses! I see a full 30 minutes session all at once in my very near future! I will work my way back up to a more difficult level in the weeks to come I am sure. Thanks for the shout-out!
BTW, FANTASTIC time on that 2.5 mile walk yesterday! You Go Girl!

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.6
06/20-191.6 💠 - (Trend Weight: 192.2)
06/21 – 189.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 192.1)
06/22-189.8 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.8)
06/23-188.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.5)
06/24-190.6 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.4) Well, I’m certainly disappointed in this. But I’m not too surprised because until I hit that 187 point anything, I’m not overly confident in the 180’s decade. Yesterday was a solid C+ if I was grading. Meals were light but dinner was a homemade bowl of chicken noodle soup from the freezer which is noodle heavy. I also had one snack that is normally off limits so there’s that. I think, however, more so, that the increase is likely due to no sleep for two days (This Heat!) and no TMI x 2. I’m hoping that the trend weight which is continuing to inch down is a good indication that the 180’s are still in my very near future. Don’t throw in the towel Donna! Fluctuations happen. Know your body!
Challege 300: I got in my 30 minutes of exercise in 3 different 10 minute sessions. I just didn’t have a full 30 minute stretch of time to do it all at once. Plumbers were here and will be back today to (hopefully) finish up 4 projects I needed overall.
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/25-190.0✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.3) Oh, what a tease! Scale kept flashing upper 189’s and then settled the last possible second on the homestretch at 190.0. Still trending down though so that is a plus. Possible dinner this evening or BBQ at home with daughter, her boyfriend and my son later. Not sure if it will materialize yet but I am being very careful with lunch choices in case dinner is a bit off plan. If so, I am going to chose to make some healthier dishes that are prepared with some lower calorie and lower carb ingredients. They’ll never know!
Challenge 300: I used the stationary bike for 30 minutes (two 15 minute sessions). It was much easier after adjusting the fitness level back to beginners. I lapsed so long that I’ve had to start over, I guess. That’s okay. I can go much faster now which hopefully translates to more fat burn.

Doing my 30 mins of yoga every morning, then biking for an hour before lazing on the beach. Tonight we're meeting a dear childhood friend for dinner, so I'll choose wisely but will eat well :-) Hope everyone is managing in this heat wave!!

20 - Newbie here! My 10 day goal is to have no more than 300 grams of sugar. I’ll post weight each morning with previous days sugar total.
21 - Declined dessert when out with friends whereas usually I’m the one who requests it. Another win is I ate consistently from MFP meal plan all day long so I didn’t get hungry and crave sugar as badly.
22 - thank you @quiltingjaine ! I hosted a party and had to make two desserts for the event. Win: I chose to eat more fruit and only half brownie for dessert. Overall, today felt harder to stay on track. More hungry but I didn’t eat my entire meal at lunch and felt my cravings increase (even tho I didn’t give into them.) Lesson learned.
23 - yesterday was a good day and I made healthy choices despite a full schedule. Meal prepping ahead of the week was a life saver for me.
24 - another longer than normal day but stayed decently on track with not overeating. This 10 day goal has been super helpful for me! Thanks ya”all!

6/296/20 I have six+ weeks to improve this recent slippery trend… up 3.5lbs since this day last year. Determined to stop the 🎢 ! Journal, reflect, discipline & press on. Last round was a great start even though the scale didn’t reflect it. This round will be 💪🏻. “Celebrate health with action!”
6/21 Thank u all for welcoming Eleanor! Solid day one ✅ all measures. I did the 300 jumps ⏱️soon after water & coffee (3x100)… & set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Several “snacks”🚶♀️🤸🏼🏋️♂️throughout the day. 🏆Kcals & macros. Onward!
6/22 DNW Rotten sleep. Will push forward & perhaps nap later today. #300 challenge on goal. Over in carbs. Low protein. 1400 cals. Portion control continues as THE constant challenge. Must constantly renew my mindset and remain present.
6/23 good day. Checked my one week averages:
Pg 100; Fg 50; Cg 20. I dont track 💦- approx. 70 - 80 oz. Still feeling bloated & lethargic from avg less than six hours sleep…
I’m wearing my chauffeur cap this week… Taking Tucker to and from soccer camp. Looking forward to our time together.
NSV: keeping the #300 challenge going is def a REAL challenge… ! Jumping is welcomed in the morning w/ a + attitude but getting in 70 min of 💓Z2 was a HUGE challenge yesterday … But accomplished!✅ I’m thinking that’s what the 10 day challenge is supposed to be like… Doing anything for 10 days. The JGTMD was true genius when the founders started it… Overtime - I’ve lost that mindset “can do/will do” determination and committing to this mini #300 brings it all back as to its original purpose. . I can do anything for 10 days! COME ON! I WILL celebrate with action today! Going on day four….. Let’s do THIS!!!!
6/24 nutrition was excellent yesterday. #3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ - barely made 70 min 💓Z2 but jumping 300×1st thing in the morning is really good! Starts my day with a “plunge” (after coffee & prayer) … Leads into stretching… creates instant energy. Don’t think I “celebrated” the last 20 min of 💓Z2 - but when completed, I felt satisfied/content/ accomplished. (I broke that into three segments, and by the end of the day, the heat & rationalizations were almost too much.) oh the mind-games! Yes, I can do hard things.
Today: tennis & 💦💦💦!
6/25 ⚖️131.8 not really sure I believe this number… an unexpected ⬇️surely to be followed by an ⬆️! Yesterday, I had already completed all of my goals by 10AM… - ended up eating 1405 cal & all of my macros ✅… I think I overdid the body but it felt pretty good. 💪🏻 I thought perhaps I would sleep well but woke up at 3:30AM. Hunger definitely increases with two hours of intense cardio/heat. I sense I’m getting back into my full routine pretty steadily now… Jumping rope in the morning definitely sets the tone for the day. My average steps are up which means my mental clarity/peace & purpose is also up…. There’s an undeniable contentment when I take care of myself, mind, body, and soul! Remember THIS!
#discipline #mindbodysoul #HSF
6/26 131.8 again? Better sleep! Perfect day! I signed up for our town’s annual “4 on the 4th” which is a 4 mile walk/run - limited to 400 participants… 4th place gets the 🏆. DGS Tucker is joining me! Start time is 7AM - 🇺🇸! (DH will be in CO with his brothers). Lady🗽 shows up every year along with Uncle Sam. Race start is pledge🇺🇸 & singing the Star-Spangled Banner w/ sparklers… ending with a 🧨 🧨🧨to start the race and of course, a one sq. block “beer run” after … featuring a John Phillips Sousa band… Most dress in festive 🇺🇸costumes … @Skyleen75 - this is right up your alley! (I’m going with a red shirt) 🤩 Where are you?! I’ve participated only a handful of times in the last 20+ years, but I realize this will be the most meaningful. Will the jumps & 70min 💓Z2 prep me? 😎🇺🇸😎
NSV STICKING with the 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣mini- challenge has been HARD‼️… There’s no way I will lapse now! Early dinner with friends tonight and a huge funeral/ celebration of life all day Sat will be tempting… But I will plan ahead and prevail. Hot as heck this week so early starts are a must.

This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment6/19/25 : 226.8 SW before.
6/20: 225.6✏️🎯💓
Goals easily met yesterday. I may need to lower my CI/CO target to net 1500. Would have been better at exercise but I was stuck around home all afternoon waiting for the AC service to show up. Window was 12:00 – 4:30. He finally came at 5:30. First-world problems, I know.It will be tougher today because of lunch out with friends. I don’t even know where we are going yet. Must. Avoid. French. Fries!
I hope you all like my added color. HA!
6/21: 226.2
✏️🎯💓
Goals met. I will say the arrow almost missed the target altogether, but I was using 1500 CI/CO goal. Got some decent exercise and that helped.I’ll tell you what does not help. Social Media. (I don’t count this group as social media) If I happen to click on an email notification that so-and-so posted this-or-that, I can easily lose an hour (or more!). I have plenty I can do instead and be a better person for it. I think a component of this habit is boredom. It is kind of like mindless snacking. I have a better purpose.
6/22: 225.8
✏️💓
Missed the target. Regret. I had monumental exercise yesterday and stopped caring about CI. My scale reading went down, but I suspect I will pay tomorrow. For me, eating back a few exercise calories is ok but I shouldn’t treat it like a free pass.6/23: 225.6
✏️🎯💓
Disaster was averted yesterday. Without this JGMTD challenge, my steering wheel would have fallen off in my hands and all four tires would have lost contact with the road surface. I am thankful for something as little as paying attention.6/24: 224.0
✏️🎯💓
Spent the afternoon at the public pool with DGS. (Seniors get in free.) 😊 So, my exercise was walking to the pool some splashing around in the pool. There is nothing more inspirational than having to get half naked in public. I know nobody is paying attention (in fact I am probably invisible to most people) but it seems like I am in the spotlight.6/25: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
I should be ecstatic about the scale this morning, but yesterday was so abnormal it shouldn’t even count. Last evening I felt like I could get the stomach flu. The feeling passed before bedtime, but I did skip supper altogether. Maybe it was a late response to my long bike ride in the heat midmorning yesterday. Perhaps a touch of heat stroke. I had a cobb salad out with wife for lunch, and she had the same, so it wasn’t food related. I felt fine until about 4:00pm.It was HOT yesterday but I stayed well hydrated, I thought.
6/26: 223.6
✏️💓
I fell just short of my target with a thoughtless potato chip mishap. Took a short walk at dusk. Too darn hot yesterday for much outdoor exercise. I probably spent 5 hours reading a novel.6/27

Thanks all for your concern. My sick feeling was short lived, but I took it easy yesterday. Of course my appetite is back….

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 300
June 20 - 29, 202563 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss if2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there. Round 300 – My Plan
So two rounds ago, I wanted to declare that I was going to channel the UAC that I was in back in 2020, when I also first started here (was doing both). An aspect of the UAC was 20 minutes of intentional exercise each day. No constraints on what, just that it is intentional exercise. No saying at the end of the day “oh, I when grocery shopping, that counts”. Cleaning could count (not for me) as long as there was the intent of exercise. Regarding my declaration two rounds ago, life went to heck, again, before I declared intent. I’m taking the opportunity with “300” to do a variant. 30 minutes a day of intentional exercise. No constraints. Does not have to be contiguous. Can be three sets of 10 minutes throughout the day. Having that option got me through some busy days while in the UAC. I would get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. Sometimes that fits when there is no longer period of time available. Good luck all!
6/20 – 128.0 Despite going out to eat, my calories we actually very good yesterday. Pretty much on target. I did meet my 30 minute exercise with a 36 minute walk. I likely would have skipped had I not had the commitment, but also having a daily goal that was not burdensome for time.
6/21 – 127.4 So, yesterday I gave it a go, and headed to Planet Fitness in Maine. Finally!! As I pull in the parking lot, it is filled with brand new equipment being assembled…. No PF workout for me. So, I ran a couple errands. Headed back to the marina where I left DH, and took a walk along the river instead. Calories were spot on. Today is more challenging. Taking the boat to Portland Maine to go to North 43 Bistro for lunch. DH is taking me to my favorite restaurants this round. Handling them carefully. The one helpful part of today is that I get seasick. That might curb my appetite. :P
6/22 – 128.4 After boat ride and dining out with calories that used up most of my day (was thoughtful in my choices), about 8 Pm I could not stay on track any longer and ate a whole box of salt and pepper crackers. Trying to get on track today, but feeling off, which makes it hard.
6/23 – 130.0
6/24 – 129.0 Round 300 is starting to look like round 299. So much for my plans.
6/25 – 129.2 So yesterday’s “two” slices of pizza became 3, plus a stella d’oro S cookie. No exercise since the 21st, BUT I got out this morning at 7 and got in a walk, 2.5 miles and 39 minutes. So, 3 out of 6 days so far. Not great, but more than I did last round.
6/26 – 127.6 I wake almost every morning lately with a caffeine withdrawal headache. Yesterday was good, today not again. I need to start by stopping any caffeine after my morning (to break the withdrawal). I have always been super sensitive to caffeine, or lack of it. Once a pattern of coffee is established, like maybe a week of the same, then going forward, if I miss that “dose” I develop a headache a few hours later. To not be controlled, I really have to be 100% off of it. Mind you, my breakfast coffee is long ¼ caffeinated.Anyhow, yesterday was good calories, and I got in that nice walk. Today is MIL’s 86th birthday and is Chinese food with the extended family plus dessert. I also need to figure out what to do for my exercise today. I’ll work on that. :)
