Mini Goal Challenge - Week of Sept 18th to 24th

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! :)

    Things got busy for a bit and I stopped checking in, but I would say that I'm almost ready to take a couple items off my list, because I seem to have the habit down pat (yay!), but let's go with the same goals for just one more week to be sure:

    1) No sugar in my tea - 0/7
    2) 5 fruits or veggies a day- 0/7
    3) Exercise - 0/6
    4) Review calendar and prep - 0/5

    Going for the same goals basically because these basic goals help me lose 1 or more pounds per week. Today at WW we discussed we have 14 more Mondays before year end. I set a goal for year end of losing my next 5% by year end which is about 22 pounds. So I upped my blue dot days to 6 even though I will still give myself a high 5 if I get in 5 :) and I upped my step goal to 6500.



    Goals week of 9/18/17:
    1) Five blue dot days on WW - 0/6
    2) 6500 step goal - 0/3
    3) 10 min housework 2 days - 0/2 (de-clutter)
    4) Minimum of ONE veggie a day - 0/4
    5) 7 hours sleep – 0/3
    6) Tu, W, Th, F, Sa, S, M (no check in - )

    These are awesome. Thanks. I needed this! <3
  • hi, i'm new!

    not really to mfp, just in deciding that challenges are fun and also useful to my tracking. :) my goals this week:

    1. reduce sugar in tea - 0 days / 7 days
    2. plank daily - 0 days / 7 days
    3. 1L water a day at work - 0 days / 7 days
    4. no mindless snacking - 1 day / 7 days
    5. no eating after 9pm - 0 days / 7 days

    i always wish i could make that no eating after 8 pm, because that is better for my stomach, but i often don't leave work until after 8. and sometimes end up wanting to actually have three meals in a day.

    welcome to labcoat, strives, moni, clicketykeys and goldthistime. Even though a couple of you have been here over the last couple of weeks, I have not been here much.

    All of the minigoalers have great goals listed. I hope you can check in every couple of days to see how things are going. Molly has been so very consistent and supportive over the past several months and we appreciate it. Hopefully a couple of others will come back and join us.

    let us know if you need support and we shall try to share our experience and knowledge.

    Hi everyone - it's hump day and I'm just getting started - but it's been a bit upside down this week for me.

    1) reduce alcohol (11/30) - it is slowly becoming a habit to not drink, and when I do, to limit to a small glass & sip slowly
    2) track and be GREEN! (0/4) - will track Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat
    3) do a workout class on the weekend - I did a body sculpt class on Saturday morning, will continue with this

    Good luck everyone,
    Paulette - welcome back! You are doing great with your goals!!

    Wow what a week we were honored to attend the Cincinnati walk for kids for the Cincinnati children hospital. My granddaughter Mara has Turners syndrome and we got to support her we won 1st place in the spirit award. So great time but... I came home and am at my highest weight since I moved to Iowa 4 years ago. I need to get on track I am going to start my advocare cleans next week after this weekend prep for it. (hopefully) and then get in gear ans stick with my goals. Losing weight watching what I eat-log food and exercising daily - planks and yoga. Get support here and give support back.

    2. Gym Wednesday and Thursday. Friday as a stretch goal.

    Got to the gym yesterday but not Wednesday. Tonight will be extra hard because my dad is coming over and then I have plans with a friend. Maybe I can go for a walk with my dad.

    The hardest part of prelogging is dinner. I pack breakfast and lunch and then I get home and have to scrounge for dinner and since I don't really have a plan it's harder to stay below my deficit.

    At least I'm learning?

    Happy Friday!

    1) reduce alcohol (12/30) - While cooking last night, I had a strong urge to have a glass of wine, so I had a small glass of rose and it was totally unsatisfying. It's just a habit - not a need that satisfies. Good learning. I just like something to drink while I cook and it doesn't have to be wine.
    2) track and be GREEN! (0/4) - will track Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat
    3) do a workout class on the weekend - I did a body sculpt class on Saturday morning, will continue with this

    Tomorrow I will do my class. Otherwise, I am not on target. I am feeling a tad disappointed, but will still check in.

    Good luck everyone, for the weekend. And I will be on track again next week :-)

    Julie, as you said in your post, you are learning. that is all we can ask. I understand being disappointed as I certainly have had that feeling for a long time before my recent successes. keep at it. You can do this. Take care and have a great weekend.

    Clicketykeys- I hope you can get in a walk with your Dad. A perfect way to fit activity into a busy scvhedule. You are correct about dinner as breakfast and lunch are much easier. Perhaps you can get a couple of prepackaged dinners or measure and weigh for the evening meal. always a tough task but it will be a start.

    Keep going. you can do this.
