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!

I'm not going to worry much about today, but otherwise I want to finish the year strong.

You will do it! I am planning on finishing strong! I am pleased with my progress thus far for sure. I has been a while since I have lost 30 pounds so I will take it even though not the 50 I wanted.I'm not going to worry much about today, but otherwise I want to finish the year strong.

For goal purposes, I'm treating this week as if it only has six days.
As of 12/26, day 1:
1) Cardio 3x ................................0/3
2) Bodyweight exercises 2x ... 0/2
3) Dumbbell exercises 1x ....... 0/1
4) 3 servings of veggies ......... 1/6
5) At least 60g protein ............ 1/6
6) 2L water ................................ 1/6
7) No added sugar ....................1/6
8) Sleep by 11pm ..................... 0/6
9) Eat under 1500 calories ..... 1/6
Accomplished today: Well, even though I'm not counting yesterday for the challenge I would like to say I logged everything I ate. I came in around 1800 calories, not that bad - but 173g of sugar, I'm embarrassed to say, and low protein. I did at least drink water.
Today I did well with food, although I was tempted to get a sugar free dessert at dinner. I had a medical test done and they told me no strenuous exercise for 24 hrs. Seems silly, it was just a needle stick but I have to confess I don't mind the excuse.
I hope you all had a lovely holiday. Let's make it through this last week of 2017 and onward.0 -

I'm not THAT young, lol! I'll admit, I've experienced my taste buds changing - but the thing is, I now like MORE foods than I used to! Used to avoid mushrooms; now I love them! And just recently, I can tolerate onions. NEVER would have figured on that one. About the only thing I still can't stand are bell peppers.
*hugs* for @cjsacto I know what you mean about not wanting to exercise. I find that if I can get myself TO the gym, I can get through a workout. Maybe not with perfect form or really pushing myself all that hard. But it's not nothing!

1. Eat only what has already been logged into MFP. 0/2 (yeah, I suck at this)
2. Plan dinner before bed the previous night. 1/2
3. Steps goal: 10k/daily. 2/2!
4. 2x 8 floor push-ups, 2x 30 sec wall sit, 2x 60 sec plank, 2x 20 sec lunges, 2x 15 side leg lifts, 2x 20 sec balance, 2 x 30 sec flexibility during breaks. 0/2 - my strength classes at the gym have been kicking my butt. Maybe I can give this a go today!
5. Gym for strength work and cardio; go for 3-min runs at 7 m/hr, interspersed with 4 m/h walks. 1/2 - did NOT make it there yesterday coz I was SUPAH SICK.
6. Before dinner, take meds, prep next day’s breakfast and lunch. 1/2
7. Cleaning: 20 minutes putting away dishes or laundry. 2/2
8. Duolingo practice 2/2, 30 minutes writing 0/2, 1 hr grading 0/2. MUST! GRADE! TODAY!

Molly, clicketykeys and Cjsacto- good job sticking with your goals and the group. This is a tough week to stay on track. Whatever you do accomplish is a plus. We can all reset next week but still make some good choices each day.
Happy New Year! Happy Healthy Year!0 -

I'm really pleased at how well I've gotten back on track. This group has been REALLY helpful for that. I tend to set really ambitious goals, but then I'm pretty good about giving myself some wiggle room and forgiveness if (well, WHEN) I don't meet them all.0 -
