What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

ElizabethKalmbach

Current mini goals are flexibility related. Poor flexibility is making me terrible at and frustrated by yoga. Yoga totally seems like a thing I should like. It should be right up my alley.

So, I'm working on hamstring and calf flexibility, because I really want to fold in half like the nice people in the videos.

next goal is around 10 lbs away to finally be back at normal BMI. I started at stage 3 obesity.

Over halfway by Thanksgiving. Technically hit it this morning but it was a light weigh in. Won't count it until my daily ave for a week hits it.

Trying to drink at least 2 litres of water daily. We're firmly in summer now (well technically still spring!)
Temps are in the 20s and remaining there so here's hoping!

Flexibility happens over time - try to be patient with yourself. Good luck!

I want to jog 15k. I know I can do it and have an event in two weeks to try it.

Went one better today and made the full half marathon

Congratulations!

I was training for a half marathon until I fell and broke my arm 3 weeks ago. Surgeon says no running for another 4 weeks. So my mini goal is to heal my arm, regain flexibility and movement. And of course get back to running.

I wanted to hit 140 by Thanksgiving but I actually ended up gaining a couple of pounds somehow. It has stuck around so I know it's not a fluctuation -- hit 144 a few weeks ago and now up to an annoying 146, which is fine and minimal I know but it's really impeding my progress toward my goal. Could be I got overly comfortable once I finally hit the healthy BMI range at 145.5.

I'm now moving that goal to the end of the year, which I think I should be able to do once I break out of this rut. At that point, I feel comfortable upping my calories to maintenance and switching to recomp.

Haha! It didn't actually take more than a week or two, because as it turns out - I was doing it wrong. >_<

Looked over a page of troubleshooting tips for forward fold and I *totally* had my emphasis on my lower back instead of on *tilting my hips forward* first to get the right pelvic angle before engaging my lower back. Just the angle of my pelvis made a difference of like 8"inches of depth in the distance of my face from my knees. A yoga instructor would have spotted my problem in about 4 minutes, I'm sure, but I'm glad I've finally figured out part of the problem. Now I need to work on balance so I can do the standing one without face-planting! Ever onward!



Thank you for the encouragement!

I'm 199 today. Mini goal is to be 195 by Thanksgiving, because I plan on gaining at least 4 pounds back! 🤣

It will be great to know when you get there @tammierlewis - I ran for the Poppy appeal and I think the quote from one of the medals suits your outlook

I posted here a long time ago, I gained a bit of weight back and finally have gotten back on track and am feeling so much better but going to make some new mini goals:
Get under 180 again by Christmas(186 now)
Fit back into my smaller size jeans
Go to the gym three days a week

Shortgirlrunning

I finished round one of 21 day fix and lost 5.6 lbs! It also got me back on track with my diet and exercise routine.

My next mini goals are to complete round 2 and keep up my training for the Thanksgiving 5K I signed up for.

Doctor appointment done, and now two new mini goals:

A) Lose 12 lbs to reach surgery approval BMI threshold. Doc was actually very pleased with my progress & thinks I'll be ready by our next meeting.
He wants me to schedule a couple of new medical tests & pick up new pain med from pharmacy.

My goal is to get this done & get the surgery green light by end of December. 2020 & pain free, here we come 🤞

My first mini goal will be to get through Thanksgiving without gaining. Then my 2nd mini goal will be the same through Christmas. Ugh, these are the best of times, these are the worst of times and why do they seem to revolve around food.

I have another 2.3lbs to lose and I get myself a new Fitbit! Mine decided to stop syncing a couple of months ago so I'm excited! Also, 5 more lbs and I'll be down 30lbs!!

So, I wandered off track a bit a couple of months ago (finishing my studies - yay - but lost my focus on diet etc for a while). Now back into it, and pretty much back to where I was before my detour.

So my goal (again) is healthy BMI!! Less than a kg away... I hope to see that this month.
