@mferoli what is a good indicator for you to flag that you are not giving up? We can support you if you report back.
Not sure what you mean torontojulie?3 -

Welcome back Julie and Hearts!! Welcome to new Warriors for sure!! Hope you like our awesome little group!! We try to help each other stay in the game regarding our mini goals which will help us reach our ultimate goals.
July was a good month for me!! Going to try to hit my de-cluttering goal more in August. I think I am going to change it to 10 min 3 days a week or something I have to get this going. If anyone has any ideas on some mini goals for this -- I would love to hear them. I am thinking of making a 10 min goal 3 days a week. Everyday would be great but I think starting with 3 days is better. Any thoughts on this subject?
Have a great week and I will post my mini goals for this week shortly!!
Have you tried any of these methods? http://www.breakthetwitch.com/decluttering-methods/
Thanks Gloria! I think I'll check that link out myself, always looking for ways to downsize. :laugh:2 -
Goals:
1) eat less sugar/sweets (1/7)
2) 12k steps everyday! (0/7)2 -
1) track and stay green!!! (1/5)
2) do my daily 15 minute headspace meditation in the morning (2/5)
3) go home for a healthy lunch 3 times this week (1/3)
I went over my goal today. I am also overstuffed and would have benefitted from stopping midway through my dinner. This would have left me with a nice lunch for tomorrow too and no belly ache. I have the thought so next time I must act on it! Try and make some new habits...

So for me not giving up means I'm tracking what I eat. That's my example. How you measure your success in this endeavour may be entirely different. So I was just wondering about that. How do you know when you're doing well and on track and aren't giving up?1 -
Yesterday I hit over 15,000 steps . No gym but walking around Boston with my son was my playground !7
-
Got my workout in today although I really wanted to quit about 1/2 they it. Barely stayed within my calorie allotment yesterday but I squeezed by.
Goals are to workout three days a week and stay within calorie allotment. Starting weight for the month was 288.3 -

1) Log Daily (3/7)
2) 3 Circuit Training Workouts (3/3)

Newbie here! My goals this week: 1) to track & stay within 1400 calls a day every day, even whilst holidaying over the weekend. 2) to walk for 30+ mins every day.4

@goalpeace I figure the best strategy is a game plan for your weekend and also for your re-entry...right now I go day by day but if there's something unusual I look at the week as a whole. Good luck. The river sounds refreshing and you are knocking your goals out of the water!3 -
1) track and stay green!!! (3/5)

Yes warriors, happy hump day. I am tracking well this week so far. But now I have been struck down by a cold in summer. It makes me so mad! I still came home for lunch because I wanted to wall and eat something good. But I could have stayed home I tell you!
Good luck everyone. Hang in and even if you're off track for a bit, it's not too late to readjust your course and hit some of your goals for the week.
Molly - you are on fire :-) this weekend is all about decluttering for me. I told my hubby we are booking a whole afternoon of it together.3 -
Ok my two goals were to workout three times and stay within my calorie allotment. Achieving the workout goal I'll probably do but staying within my calorie allotment is going to be quite the challenge because I'm going out of town this weekend. Starting with lunch tomorrow all my meals will be eaten at a restaurant. I'm worried about failing.3

Enjoy your trip out of town and pre-plan at restaurants when you can. Stick with lean grilled or broiled meats or fish and those wonderful veggies. Most restaurants have nutrition info on line. You pick restaurant when you can...Enjoy!bonnieevans6060 wrote: »Ok my two goals were to workout three times and stay within my calorie allotment.

My mini goal is to get off my butt and take my dogs for a walk 2 times this week.
Walked for 35 min with dogs on Tuesday...one more day to go!3 -
I have been reading about breaking the behaviour chain. Coming home for lunch is doing just that for me. I used to go to work, and then go out to a food court at lunch. Crazy calories in that. Now I have to cycle home and back (calorie deficit) and when I got here, I blasted classical music as I roasted cauliflower and made an amazing salad. I was in heaven.
I think my next behaviour chain break has to come from something related to eating out. I simply eat EVERYTHING on my plate even if I'm full. This is related to my value mentality - and also waste not, want not. But I must remind myself of the price I pay in the long run, to satisfy this value. Or I can just take leftovers home and get a second meal out of it.
For now though, my week is on track...
1) track and stay green!!! (4/5)
2) do my daily 15 minute headspace meditation in the morning (4/5)
3) go home for a healthy lunch 3 times this week (3/3)5 -

@torontojulie, not giving up is not letting the frustration of not seeing the number on the scale change, despite my increase in activity and calorie reduction, get to me. I am pushing forward with the changes I have made and hoping the scale decides to cooperate. I have given up and gone back to my old, bad habits pretty easily in the past, this time I am working hard to keep moving forward. I lowered my calorie intake a little more this week, that may bump the numbers a little.2 -
@saltine24 Good luck with those dog walks - I love my dog for just this reason, they need you to go with them!
@velocity60 Kids are good for some things after all, eh! Well done on your 15,000 steps. I totally understand the batwing arms in photo revelations (you just can't help wrapping your loving arm around the folks you love!) - I just went bra shopping and I swear they had "fat mirrors" in the changeroom. I refused to buy anything as I looked so horrific. When I came home, it dawned on me it could just be where I'm at right now. Geez, how depressing, yet inspiring! How are your other goals going?
@MiniMatcha Love your goal to reduce sugar - and congrats on knocking 2 days worth. That's the toughest thing for me, as I am so addicted! I understand it takes a whole month to stop craving that white poison that I eat/drink everyday. How are your steps going? Your doing great - just keep at it.
@bonnieevans6060 how is your August challenge shaping up? It's so great that you've identified your problem areas - awareness is half the equation. Congrats on your workout. Weekends are tough - plan plan plan - just like Molly said. And some sort of recovery plan for when you return is also in order. Don't be too hard on yourself cause you're doing great!
@goalpeace How is your logging going before the river trip? Good luck with it!
@Tionne31 You have such ambitious goals - how inspiring! How are you doing with these?
@forestrose910 How are your steps and workouts going this week? It is so nice to see you here.
@IsMollyReallyHungry I just read that de-cluttering article that ladygloria posted the link to. I am totally going to do the 6th step - which is to hang what you wear in your closet facing a different direction. I bet I wear that same 8 things, while staring at the other 20 taking up precious space. The experiment is ON. My colleague told me she got a garbage bin for a weekend and her sons spent the whole weekend filling it. She had to plan - but now she got her garage and basement back as useable spaces again so she is thrilled. Good luck with your strategies for tackling this. It is super satisfying.

@torontojulie - great job on all of your goals this week!! Keep up the good work!! Thanks, I still have not had a chance to read info Gloria provide for me. btw - love the coool glasses too! :
My Dad has been in and out of hospital so the challenge is real this week but I have been keeping it all together despite the challenges of an aging Dad. All of you have help me stay mindful of me and my sanity and health.

@torontojulie thank you for supporting everyone here!
and yes I have such a huge sweet tooth! I really need to learn how to control it much better! Luckily I love walking and being active, so my steps are coming along great actually!
But I can totally relate about eating out in restaurants. It's harder for me to control portions and pick healthier alternatives because when I go out I want to indulge into something worthwhile! The mentality is hard to break...so packing leftovers is a really good idea. But I also choose health conscious restaurants so I won't be tempted when I see the menu and have a variety of healthy options. I wish you the best of luck!
