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!

Molly! I am so glad to hear you process your gain last week in such a healthy way. Smart and good lead for the rest of us. I am beating myself up for how the scale reads, but I do see some overall gains in non scale victories. More sleep for one. Overall health improvement as a result. Hang in there, you are an inspiration to the rest of us!! Julie1

lol.... I had to go back and see what I said. The bottom line is weight loss is not a straight line in the sand. If we make it a straight line then we are setting ourselves up to be perfect which none of us are and life will never let us be perfect. So we gain and we move forward to a new day, a new meal or new week. Each meal, day, week is a new start to try again and as long as the needle is going in the right direction overall we are doing fine. I can't let a 2.8 pound gain define my 20 pound loss since July 4th. I have set a goal to try not to gain 2 weeks in a row. So far I have done that but even if I did not I would be ok. We have to expect imperfections. That is why I have picked for my mantra consistency not perfectiontorontojulie wrote: »Molly!

I read below online and thought about my comments to you yesterday about consistency and not perfection Good stuff!! We got this!
"Keep a record of what you eat and drink and you'll do more to succeed at weight loss than almost anything else. Tracking keeps you accountable, mindful, and knowledgeable. You’re more likely to make positive food choices when you’ve committed to writing down every bite you eat (even on days you go over your calories). And doing this you're better able to choose what foods or drinks are "worth it" to you!
The good thing is, you don’t have to be perfect—it’s more important to be consistent and to give tracking your best shot. Estimating your portions, if you’re not able to weigh and measure them, is fine. Skipping a meal is fine—so long as you get back in the saddle at your next meal or as soon as you can."0 -
I forgot yesterday I had a bunch of grape tomatoes for a snack!! Remembered when I got the rest of the pint out to eat today

@IsMollyReallyHungry - Thanks for the insight to weight watchers. Tailgate was hard and decided after being good in the am that it would be a cheat day I still stayed under because i got enough step but did not come under 1200 cals. - thanks for asking. You always that the best goals good luck. I hate the yo-yo syndrome. Love Small = big concept. 20 lbs wow what a victory congrats .
@achagpar -great job on your water goal. I hate that my weight loss is up and down.
@ Torontojulie - I hate the munchies they always hit me in the evening. It has helped to have healthy snack that seeem like you are cheating on hand. I believe alcohol is why I gained this past week but had a good weekend did not get to crazy. I try to have more than scale goals so that i still feel good about what is happening congrats on your NSV
@Skymningen - I am sorry that you are having with trouble the fighting it has helped me when I have responded in this manner. i feel "hurt", Confused" or "insecure" because _____. Good luck and keep focusing on your goals.
@clicketykeys - Great golas hope all is well with you and your students with all that is happening with the hurricane. Great goals good luck!
My problem is usually my metabolism is not amped up enough to lose weight because i do not eat enough any suggestions? I agree with Molly and Julie I have been feeling better so I know that is better than just tthe lossing of weight.

Do you drink protein drinks? If you are not eating enough you may want to try them. I recently started drinking them with recommendation from my doctor. I drink the premier protein drink - Chocolate. I half freeze so it is malty and it is like a milkshake and I love them.

Thursday goals check in
1) track track track like a maniac! (3/6)
2) be in the GREEN! (2/6)
3) no alcohol for 30 days - now into week 2 (9/30)
4) meditate each morning (1/7)
I had a terrible headache this morning when I woke up. Last night, I broke down and had a pint of beer with a group of friends from my tennis club - we were watching an exciting tennis match for the club championships and I wanted to join in so much (it was very jovial and fun) ... But I was amazed by the headache. Could it be that I can't handle alcohol at all?? I certainly am re-committed to my goal!1 -

Happy Friday!!I pulled out Leslie Sansone this week and even though I have to modify, I have been getting in a decent workout and it has helped me get my 6000 steps. I may shoot for 6500 next week to make sure I am challenging myself but I don't want to overdo it either it either.
Have a great weekend!!
