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!

Thanks for getting us started Paulette!
Thanks for the quotes @clicketykeys !!
I have been blowing my week again on the weekends. Barely squeaking by with a loss. Got to try to turn that around this weekend. Too much eating out, etc. I have still been mindful but still salty. This coming up weekend the same. I will take the losses because my motto is a loss no matter how small is better than a gain
Have a great week!!!

8) Sleep by 11pm .................. ?/7 forgot already when I went to bed yesterday. Maybe.
To do:
- Contact a financial planner
- Make appt for test my dr told me to get, but first I have to go to dr and get CD of prior test results and bring them to new place across town.
- Fill a box and take to thrift store done
- Donate blood or plasma. Made appt online to donate platelets. Appt is tomorrow
- Order new contact lenses (find prescription) Didn't find prescription, but I did swing by my eye doctor and get another copy.
- Clean my office/tv room.
- Some paperwork needed for student loan payment plan
- Take some things to the dry cleaner done, now just need to pick them up later this week
- Schedule MRI for ankle.
I had my appt with an orthopedic doctor today, I mentioned it here back in October. He is recommending an MRI. From xrays, he said it looks like I could have had a fracture in my ankle years ago that didn't heal properly, possible tendon damage. The only thing I recall was a painful sprain when I was about 5 and got it caught in a swing set, though I've twisted it lots of times since then, it's not very strong. If I remember correctly, I wasn't taken to the doctor for that sprain, just wrapped and iced. I don't think I'll mention this to my mom, she'll feel terrible. (I'm 47 now.) I'm not at all incapacitated, but I've always had low level pain in that ankle and more recently pain in my achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis. Being overweight doesn't help! I just want to do what I need to to have mobility for another 40 years.1 -
Well it is Tuesday and I see that warriors are checking in and moving ahead with their goals. that is terrific.
Molly- Congrats on your loss. I understand about the weekends. One thing that I do as I eat out a lot on weekends is really try to plan my day ahead of time and eat fruits, salads or veges during the day when I am not out. then at the restaurant or at someones house be really mindful of portion sizes. I hope that helps.
Clicketykeys- Congrats on getting into the play. way to go. I know it will be a busy week but you can manage to stay on track. do the best you can and make every decision count. good goals.
cjsacto - sorry to hear about the ankle. I hope you can follow through. good goals for your week and a great start. take things one day at a time.

Probably not going to the gym today. Got to the garden Monday. I was late because the faculty meeting after school ran long, but I called my supervisor and let him know ahead of time & he gave me the OK. Did make it to kickboxing and strength yesterday, though it was a heck of a day. Hopefully things start smoothing out.
Plan for tonight - hopefully I won't get called in! - is to take it easy and go for a walk and do some talking about meal plans... and probably Disney plans! We're going next summer and I'm REALLY looking forward to it! Oh, and I got the script for the play. Gonna take it to school to use the electric hole puncher (not sure why I enjoy that machine so much, but hey! gonna have fun where I can) and put it in a folder. Yay!
Dec 1 weigh-in: 176.6
Jan 1 weigh-in goal: 169.6 (7 lbs, ~1.5/wk)
Scale goal for Sunday: 173.2
Today: 176.2; down from yesterday's 176.6 but up from Sunday's 174.7, alas! Ah well. Progress, not perfection, right?
Great job with your steps Paulette!
@cjsacto - Hopefully this is a step in the right direction (no pun intended, honest!) and they're identifying issues that can then be improved? Especially if you've got an old injury that didn't heal properly, if that can be addressed, you might be surprised at how much better you feel!
You're totally right about a loss being better than a gain, Molly, but it's also better than just coasting along. Way to go!

Happy Friday Warriors!!
Good job on checking in friends. My week has been pretty good. I have hit my 7000+ steps 3 days and will get it today hopefully.
WW has a new program that rolled out. So it is harder to get the blue dot days. I am down over 2 pounds today. Goal is too stick the 2 pounds until weigh in on Monday.
Have a great weekend and check in when you can!!

This week was one big "Nope" for diet and exercise. A potluck at work Wed with leftover cookies and whatnot the following four days has gotten the best of me. Also, I'm feeling too wimpy to go running now that it's chilly out. (I live in a pretty warm climate, in the winter it's still 60s in the daytime but I run in the evening and the temp does drop.)
My only victory is that I've kept logging, and I've checked in on my various challenge groups most days, even if it's just to confess how I've messed up.
Reset next week!
@IsMollyReallyHungry You are doing great in your personal goals and on blue dot days!
@forestrose910 Great job on the steps!1 -
