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!

Hello Ladies,
I am back after a nice relaxing vacation. I did manage to check in daily with a quick logon to the internet but didn't have a lot of minutes so no comments. I have to make sure I figure something out about a consistent healthy plan.
Hearts- thanks for getting us started. you had a very good week with your goals last week. I know you can have another one.
Molly- you rock when it comes to determination and checking in. keep up the effort and it will pay off. you make good progress on your goals last week.
Julie -great job with your goals and your thoughtful adjustments. hope you had fun while away. this is a new week and I wish you good luck. I am so glad you have come back to join us.
My goals this week;
1. log my food - 3 days
2. 5,000 steps or greater - 3 days
3. plan for the next 4 weeks about how to move forward.
Have a good week all.1 -
Hurray Paulette - happy to hear your vacation was relaxing. Sounds like a good break. I'm impressed you checked in every day. Good for you. I was not as consistent - and I was only away for 4 days!
Molly - that is awesome you know about the Davis Cup - yes, I was in Ottawa to see it live. It was a great atmosphere of enthusiastic fans (the Brits had costumes and chants) and good matches almost to the end. Unfortunately in the last match, Shapovalov - one of Canada's rising stars (he is only 17, but won the Wimbledon Juniors after being ranked 1,000+) shot a tennis ball out into the crowd out of frustration, and it hit the referee right in the eye. There was a dead silence in the stadium as we watched for about 7 minutes to see if the ref was okay (he is, but went to the hospital for it). The player didn't intend to hurt the ref, but Canada was automatically disqualified as a result. We likely would have lost anyway. Disappointing way to end the matches though!
Hearts - you are a rock star and doing awesome on your goals. I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work!!
In my enthusiasm over having had one successful week, I loaded myself up with too many goals for last week....so I am going to adjust a bit again to make it achievable.
1 / track and stay green (0/5)
2 / go to 1 workout class (0/1) - Thursday's pilates class is in my calendar
3 / meet my daily step goal (0/4)
4 / no alcoholic beverages on weekdays (0/3)
5 / gratitude: identify how I am grateful for one non-food related thing in my life this week (0/1)0 -

Loving Everyones goals!!
Welcome back Paulette!! Glad you had a great time too!
Julie, I started watching tennis because of the William sisters way back when, but after I figured scoring out, I am just a tennis fan! Love Nadal and Feder, etc. Hopefully the young Canadian tennis player learn his lesson.0 -

I had the hardest time finding this post on my mobile. Does anyone have a shortcut they can recommend?
1 / track and stay green (2/5)
2 / go to 1 workout class (0/1) - Thursday's pilates class is in my calendar
3 / meet my daily step goal (3/4)
4 / no alcoholic beverages on weekdays (2/3)
5 / gratitude: identify how I am grateful for one non-food related thing in my life this week (0/1)
I was hesitant about posting yesterday because I ate all my Naan crackers last night with some brie cheese. I absolutely knew I was going over my green and that I wasn't hungry - just indulging myself. Today I am back on track, but it really felt self defeating last night! I have to remind myself this is a lifestyle change (sound familiar?)
Hope you are all feeling on track and getting through the week okay.
Keep posting Molly, you inspire me to check in along your side! So happy to know you are a tennis fan too.

Good job Julie on owning it! & being mindful. Consistency not perfection. Being mindful and choosing to splurge is OK. It was not a binge but a splurge. Good job!! And when I splurge I still journal it. Even when I binge I own it because it does help me. This month I am going back to weighing daily.
Thanks for checking in!! I find it impossible to use app for the threads unless you are just updating your goals. They cant put everything in these little apps. I sometimes wonder how they do it myself. I have not found an easy way to chat on the message boards on app yet
Goodnight!

Hey Ladies,
I'm cheering you on from the sidelines..I've been feeling ill since Tues, like food poisoning or something? It doesn't feel like the flu but more like something I've never felt before. My mind has the energy to want to get out and do the things I need/want to get done but my body says.. um, wait a minute, not so fast. lol
Trying to get liquids in since I feel so dehydrated but even a few sips makes my stomach do flips... nibbling on a piece of toast isn't going much better.
Welcome back Paulette.. missed you and hope you had a nice time away
You all look like you're doing well
Be back soon xo0 -

Molly - thanks for the words. You are so right about owning it. I need to own what I do and also carry on. I also hadn't thought about the difference between splurge and binge, but of course there is a distinction. Right now I'm being so vigilante that I am thinking anything off the green is a binge - but that is far too harsh and not sustaining. I know this won't get me far. I do love these mini goals though because we include anything we want that is good for us.
Hearts - what you have sounds like the flu!! Either way, ugh and my sympathies.
Paulette - how are you doing since your return? Hope you are back in the swing of things, but not so much that the vacation is long forgotten
My goals for Thursday
1 / track and stay green (4/5)
2 / go to 1 workout class (1/1) - I made it to plates! Great instructor made it go by fast.
3 / meet my daily step goal (4/4)
4 / no alcoholic beverages on weekdays (2/3)
5 / gratitude: identify how I am grateful for one non-food related thing in my life this week (1/1)
My gratitude this week is my morning walks to work along the waterfront. It is about 2 kms and takes me 20- 30 minutes depending on if I go along all the piers. The sun is rising on the water and the lake is usually calm. There are tall ships moored for the season that are quite beautiful and stoic. The walkways are wide interlocking bricks, and next to that there is a 2 lane multi purpose path for cyclists and runners. I love being active outdoors with others in the quiet stillness of the morning. There are some wonderful parks, with lots of trees and birds, and even a beach with umbrellas. Even if it is winter, it is lovely. And I love the big outdoor skating rink as well. This walk gets my mind clear for the day and exposes me to nature. At work I will close my eyes and think of this peaceful time to feel grounded again.2 -
Hello Ladies,
sorry I haven't done much this week with posting. I will be better next week. it has been tough to get back into any type of routine while trying to get thing unpacked and laundered from my trip.
Julie and Molly- you too rock and have been excellent in checking in and really getting to your goals. keep up the great work.
Hearts- so sorry you are feeling sick. keep taking care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon.
Okay I will be back and will have a big push next week. we can keep it going!2 -
OMG! I am so jealous! Sounds beautiful!! Good job on goals too!!torontojulie wrote: »My gratitude this week is my morning walks to work along the waterfront.

That's awesome Molly!! Keep it up. I love when the scale supports our real life efforts, not that it's always going to.
It occurred to me to get on the scale this morning too, and although it's reporting a different weight, I actually don't feel all that different. Same clothes so there you have it. I can only wear two pairs of pants and about 5 tops to work these days. I will try again in 3 weeks else be discouraged.
1 / track and stay green (5/5)
2 / go to 1 workout class (1/1) - I made it to plates! Great instructor made it go by fast.
3 / meet my daily step goal (4/4)
4 / no alcoholic beverages on weekdays (2/3)
5 / gratitude: identify how I am grateful for one non-food related thing in my life this week (1/1)
So...I did alright in this case but still lots of room for improvement. Tomorrow I will try to make it to another exercise class. I am ready!
Will check in again on Sunday. Stay strong y'all!

Molly - how awesome are you. Sorry I didn't check in on the weekend. I didn't track at all but I was also reasonable and I was happy that I could do that. I will go find you on the next week now, if I can find my way there on this phone of mine!!1
