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! B)<3

    Molly- great job with losing weight. Keep it going.

    Lost it- super that you got your exercise in and that you are not eating after 8.

    lol! You are so funny! I guess we would all be in trouble then. But that is one motto that I like so I am not so hard on myself, because I think for most of us consistency is an issue. I like the 80/20 rule which have so many meanings for so many things also but definite if I am eating within calories 80% of the time I am going to lose weight. Not as fast as I would like but again I will take slow and steady. That is why I changed some of my goals to 6 days a week, make even do 5 next week to be more realistic and even on the days I overeat it not so bad because I am no longer binge-ing and I have have those awful FAST FOODS monsters >:) under control too. Because I have long ago noticed as long as as clean as possible I lose too even if I am not in the green on my calories. People have many demons and FF is one of mines. Some people have sweet issues, cookies, chips, etc. Mines has always been FF, but I am much better with that now. I can go order 2 pcs of fried chicken or 1 slice of pizza (or equivalent) and I am content now.

    Keep up the good work!! We all can finish strong this year!! :smiley:

    Hi Molly- Good job checking in and with your other goals. The 8177 steps was fantastic. I know how tough it is to get those step counts up. good going.

    Hearts- great job with your water and fruits and vegetables. keep going and use whatever quotes can motivate you. that was a great one from Molly.

    My goals- well Molly you did not miss it. I didn't post any goals because I have been failing in that regard and couldn't bring myself to write something I didn't think I would do, yet again. But you are right to call me out on it. I have been having difficulty with consistency and sticking to a plan. but my goals this week are to increase my steps and to drink more water. I am hoping to get in some exercise but have not yet.

    I have increased my steps this week to about 5,400 which is about 1,000 more than I have averaged lately. yesterday I made progress on my water. today I am working on it. have the bottle filled.

    I know that you warriors have been in a similar place like mine. after so much success, it is disheartening to have gained weight and lost the consistency. but I will figure it out and I appreciate your support. I mostly came to the discussion group this week because I wanted to support you guys since there was a bit more activity.

    Let's do this ladies. One day at a time and one smart choice at a time.

    Thanks Paulette!! Yes it is challenging indeed, which is why I went back to 7500 goal vs 8000. If I get 8K cool, but for now with my knees being so bad, I am going to stick with 7500 and I can hit that 3 times a week for now I am good and then 4 times is even better, but I am trying to keep my goals reachable.

    Well you know I understand for sure. This is hard and it is even harder the older we get unfortunately :neutral: You know what is best for you, but for me starting somewhere will at least keep me mindful even if I don't reach goal. I consider it a success just to keep trying until I get it right. :wink: No one is perfect. I know next week I am going to tweak some of my goals to more reachable and realistic ones.

    I love you so much for just coming here to SUPPORT US!! <3<3 It means so much to me and I know to others as well. :) But at the same time, we have to try to help each other too, which is why I was concerned I did not see your goals. I thought I was missing them sometimes but I was too busy to stop and really make sure there were no goals. Please let us know what we can do to help you.... <3o:) Ok, that is it - my 2 cents for the day lol. Again thanks for always being here, no matter what!! (((HUGS)))

    Hello Warriors!!

    Well I got in over 8 hrs a sleep last night...almost 9 actually. Since on M, Thur and Fri I work west coast hours which is 10:30 to 7:00 central standard time, 11:30 was still to bed early for me. Next week I am going to just make my goal to get 7 hrs of sleep for 3 days and when I get that one, I will increase it to 4, 5. I know I will never get 7 hrs of sleep every night so if I can get to manage 4 and 5 nights that is success for me! lol

    Still went over on calories but good calories and the scale went down a little more today, so again I will take it.

    No fish and missed steps completely. Wed is usually a low day for me because of work and religious meeting I go to after work. I usually shoot for 80% if I don't get my goal but yesterday got 72% and no fish, but will have fish tonight! Panko breaded talipia

    On the Tops no-no and yes-yes. The yes yes is a shoe in because I have a banana and apple every day and sometimes 2 bananas. The chips however is a real challenge for sure. I had just purchased this BIG BAG of reduced fat chips from Costco. Made individual size bags and put in back of my trunk because I can't have them in house. and was having at least one of these a day, fitting them in. But so far so good. I look at the bag and keep on going. I love these mini challenges from them!

    1) Calories in Green - 0/6
