Mini Goal Challenge - Week of January 8th to 14th

IsMollyReallyHungry

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!

Hi Molly, thanks for starting the new thread. I need to get moving even though it is Thursday already.

Molly- so very proud of you going to WW and having such a nice loss. keep it going. have a great day. I will check in again tomorrow.

so goals remain the same. I will get a workout in. I did have a few days close to 5,000 and 1 6,000 day. need to figure that out.

Hearts- 2 workouts this week? You and Me? we can do it.

everyone have a good day. keep making smart choices and figure out your plans.

Thanks Paulette!

Good job on steps! I know how challenging this can be.

I went to knee doctor today and got 2 of 3 injections done. Last one next Thursday Hopefully this will give me moderate relief.

Hi Molly - you are checking and that is a good habit to build. I hope that the injections will give you less pain and more mobility until you are ready for the surgery.

Have a great day.

I did have 2 days of over 5,000 steps. Yesterday I was over 8,000. my hip knows it but a good thing. no workout yet. I will keep trying.

Hearts and Sherri- we are thinking of you!

Way to go Molly. You are doing a great job checking in everyday.

I will get back to it starting next week. I'm finally over my cold but because of coughing so much and so hard I have pulled a muscle on my left side and my Costochondritis has flared up so I have been in a lot of pain the last 5 days. (This is an inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs. People with this condition typically have pain and sensitivity in the front of the chest- where the ribs join the sternum (breast bone). The exertion of violent coughing or sneezing will cause the ribs to ache in this condition. People with this condition will also experience painful breathing because of the inflammation of the intercostal muscles
My chiropractor started working on it yesterday but it will take a few weeks for the muscle to heal and for the Costochondritis to settle down. I will not be able to do much at the gym but am going back starting tomorrow just to do some cardio on the treadmill. It has been a terrible start to the New Year but hopefully things will get better soon.

Thanks Sherii.

Glad your cold is better, sorry about your rib pain. Feel better soon! Have a good work out at the gym!

Molly- keep it going. You are doing well. Good luck with weigh in. Have a great week!

IsMollyReallyHungry

Thanks Paulette! I am hoping I have lost at least 5.8 pounds so I can get my 2 months free! After this mornings weigh in, I may come close but you can never tell weighing in the evenings vs mornings. But for now I am going to stick with Tuesdays as long as I know true weight from my home scale. I did the BMI caculator this morning because my Ortho doctor wants me to lose enough weight to get to BMI 40. That is about 130 pounds! WOW! But I am going to do it because I want knee surgeries.

forestrose910

Hi Molly,
that number sound daunting, but I remember having a conversation with a friend. at the time, I was told to plan to lose a pound a week. I thought that it would take forever and thus was not worth the effort. but as we talked we realized that had I done that beginning the previous year I would have been 52 pounds lighter.

so take little steps and don't look at the big number. I know you have to keep that number ultimately in your mind. but do it on a weekly or monthly basis. One study that I participated in started out with a goal of 7% loss. then when that was reached. another 7%. might be a way to switch your mind around a bit. Do what works for you.

I know you can do this and ultimately you will be healthier and in much less pain once you get the knee surgeries. good luck to you.
