In the weekly Warrior Mini-Goal Challenge focus on your short term goals.
Focusing on one week at a time, when the big picture seems too overwhelming. Small changes can bring on big results!!
Choose one or more things you want to work on for just this week. Don't set it too high or unreachable!!
Please, make sure your week works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!
You can reach your main goal if you break it into small actionable steps. It could be as easy as 1-2-3!
1) Choose something you know you can do easily.
2) Add more difficult tasks to your plan.
3) These small steps will get you started, motivated & help build routine for long term success!!
Anyone interested in joining us for another week, or a first week, or a get back on track week?
Check in often, have a great week and do the best you can!

Looking good everyone! We appear keen and on track as the warriors we are :-)
I had a cooking blitz last night, which was my way to set up healthy foods for this week. I am super happy about this. It takes time and effort for a few hours, but then I can coast on the food side without worrying about sabotaging myself.
Runner115 - happy I can inspire any goals! Steal away. Well done on staying clear of the candy in the end!
Tuesday Check-in:
1. track and be green! (2/6) - Hurray!!
2. 2 x strength training sessions (0/2) - am going to gym today at lunch
3. walk to work everyday (2/5)
4. look for a piano instructor in the area0 -
I'm here, but I've got a bug so I'm not going to have very ambitious goals this week. I did get three hikes in last week, but I also was too indulgent with food. The family all left on Sunday evening, so that makes things a little easier. My goal this week is just to journal everything and drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. If I feel better later in the week I'll get some exercise in.0

Hello Warriors!
Thanks Hearts!! Great quotes and start!
I am going for 80/20 rule for my goals below. I am doing good and finally filling back on track.
I love love my new exercise toy!! FitBit Flex!! A Phenomenal little gadget. Who comes up with this stuff. I especially like the sleep monitor because it tells me exactly how many restful hours of sleep I am getting and helps be more conscience of going to bed earlier to hit that 7 to 8 hours. Since Dec 18th, I have not hit 7 hours on a week day night yet. But I will just keep trying.
I have missed you all!! Keep rocking and thanks so much for always being here!!
Have a great week! I will try to check in when I can!

1.) Stay in green on calories - Yes!
2.) No fast foods - Yes!
3.) No vending machine snacks at work - Yes!

2.) 1/7

Hello everyone - and YEE-HAW!!! we are kickstarting 2015 like no other.
Karen I hear you on over indulgences and the relief of family entertaining days being done. Take care of yourself - you are analyzing your situation well and keeping it real. Get better soon so you can inspire us with stories of your next hikes
ForestRose Happy new year and thanks for all your support. I have a good feeling about this year - so let's get this party started shall we?
Molly Nice to see you back and on such a positive roll. You bring us good vibes! I too love the fitbit. The sleep thing was a total awakening (pardon the pun!). I love information that propels you to better health! Keep it up and bring on the enthusiasm!
La Nanita You're here! Good for you. Stick around and you can do it. One step at a time.
Lost-it welcome back! You can do it and remember, we're in this together!
Susan How was your vacation in terms of the goals you set out for staying on track? If you learned some things, send them our way cuz I have a vacation to Florida coming up in 3 weeks! You had a long list of goals this week, I hope you are not feeling it was too much. You can do this and be kind to yourself first and foremost.
Also wanted to share I heard an interview by the guy who wrote the book "SLIM BY DESIGN" - which looks at how we build our environments around food/access to it in 5 areas of our life (eating out, our kitchens, at work etc). Simple common sense observations that can help change the way we eat. For example, his observations of a bunch of kitchens and the related weight of those who had them provided him with these insights: a fruitbowl on the counter usually means you weigh 8 pounds less than your neighbours while cookies on the counter usually means you weigh 11 pounds more than your neighbours.
He talks about how we serve our meals at dinner as well. Some interesting observations I thought. here's the link to the podcast cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2015/01/06/by-design-how-your-kitchens-layout-can-help-you-make-better-food-choices/
Wednesday Check-in:
1. track and be green! (3/6) - success!!
2. 2 x strength training sessions (1/2) - did upper strength and abs for 30 mins at lunch, tomorrow I will do lower strength and abs for 30 mins at lunch. Tues & Thurs. My new routine. Full strength workout every Sunday morning for 90 mins.
3. walk to work everyday (3/5) - so it is FREEZING cold out there, but I'm doing it. Time for snow pants! I already look like frosty the snow man walking to work.
4. look for a piano instructor in the area - haven't looked yet. Will do a bit of this now.0 -

So sad - it's only day 3 and I've already fallen off the wagon twice...
forestrose - nice to 'see' you again too. Sadly I must admit in my hiatus I have more or less gained back everything I lost last summer. Here we go again...
torontojulie - thanks for the link and mini book review - makes sense to me - ever since we remodeled and put in a kitchen island/great room I find myself snacking throughout the evening - much harder to stay out of the kitchen than it was when it was enclosed by walls!

Hang in there everyone... we're just coming back from the Holidays and into a brand new year... We can do this thing! The transition is not always easy but setting goals is ever so helpful. It's good to be diligent but please don't be too hard on yourselves when you're not perfect. You're here and you've set up your daily/weekly challenges...that alone is HUGE!
xo to all... Welcome to the new folks and the veterans as well
Hearts
...Looks like everyone has got some really solid goals.. Hooray!
