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!

Hi everyone! This week and next are going to be even fuller than usual as The Mysterious Affair at Styles moves into tech, and then next Friday we open! I've been frustrated as I haven't managed to drop the weight I put on over New Year's as easily I did for Christmas and Thanksgiving. So that is my ultimate goal for this week - but The List focuses more on what I can do, rather than on the result. Here are some quotes that will hopefully help me stay focused on that:
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. - Carol Burnett
Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react. - Chuck Swindoll
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. - Helen Keller
Daily:
1. Eat only what has already been logged into MFP.
2. Plan dinner before leaving for school. (Today: Plated meal #1)
3. Steps goal: 5k during school day, continue at gym on treadmill to 8k, finish at practice for 10k/daily.
4. 2x 12 floor push-ups, 2x 40 sec wall sit, 2x 70 sec plank, 2x 8 lunges, 2x 20 side leg lifts, 2x 20 sec tree pose or Warrior 3, 2 x 30 sec frog pose during breaks.
5. Gym after school 2x/week, plus Saturday and Sunday. Flexibility and house-pacing on non-gym days.
6. Before dinner, take meds, prep next day’s breakfast and lunch.
7. Cleaning: 20 minutes putting away dishes or laundry.
8. Duolingo practice, 30 minutes writing, piano practice. Blog here daily; teacher blog weekly.
9. Check in, teeth flossed/rinsed/brushed; in bed by 9:30 on non-rehearsal weeknights; 11:15 on rehearsal nights.
Non-daily:
1. With husband, brainstorm meal ideas for next week on Friday. Double-check Plated meals and make changes if needed. Check ingredients and enter recipes if needed.
2. Rehearsal Sun-Thu evenings. Photo shoot in costume Tuesday.
3. Week 3 lesson plans outlined by Tuesday; drafted by Thursday and DONE Friday!
4. Check with parents; visit today. Make plans for next visit. Plan next visit with B.
5. Kickboxing Monday. Zumba and yoga on Saturday. Ask on facebook to be sure Zumba is scheduled; check on Meetup for yoga.0 -

Keeping my same goals again. Today we went out for dinner for my birthday, which was actually yesterday. I went way over my day's calories and had no veggies (oops) but for dessert I made a special request and the restaurant accommodated it - they gave me a bowl of fresh strawberries so I kept my no sugar streak.
Thanks for the thread and the inspiration, @IsMollyReallyHungry!
@clicketykeys Exciting that you're moving into tech rehearsals! You'll get that little bit of holiday weight off. Of course you have a lot going on, and didn't you have guests last week? You'll take care of it this week.0 -
@cjsacto - You are soooo good!! Fresh strawberries on your birthday!! Whooohooo!! That is dedication.....I love strawberries too but lol Good job my friend!!

Molly- thanks for the new feed for the week. the quotes are great. I hope you are doing well with your goals so far this week. you can face the daily challenges. You are so worth it.
clickitykeys- you certainly have a lot going on this week and next week. good luck with your production. I know it can be frustrating to not lose the holiday weight. it can be especially tough since you didn't have so much trouble after Thanksgiving. My thoughts are that sometimes little things creep into our eating and day that we don't think about. try to stick with your goals and be consistent with weighing or measuring or reading labels. I hope you can take a moment to breathe in all that you have going on. hang in there and good luck with everything.
cjsacto- belated Happy Birthday. so great that you were assertive and had fresh strawberries for dessert. way to stick with your goals. you picked great goals for the week. I know you can be successful.
Have a great week everyone!!0 -
@cjsacto - that is AWESOME! Good on you! I would have been sorely tempted to ask for them with real whipped cream, which would have fit in the no-added-sugar but would likely have added a big ol' pile of calories! Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm ... well, the best I can say is that I'm not un-hopeful about this week, hahaha!
Molly, it reminds me of the Edison quote - Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration I like that one too!
@forestrose910 - Exactly! OR Christmas! It's like... I dunno, third time's the anti-charm or something :P Ah well. It is what it is.0 -

Happy Sunday Warriors!
Adjusted my step goal, going back, I see I reached it 4 times. I may reach it today. Not sure on weekends my goal is to do 10 steps both days. Yesterday I got in my 7000 step goal. Somewhere during the week I put one too many
Have a great and healthy day!

I realized I forgot to log something I ate yesterday so I sure did go over 1500 calories. I went over just a tiny bit today, too.
Didn't lose any weight this week, but I feel I'm on a pretty even keel. Next week is finally a week with no special occasions so I really should meet all my food related goals. Now I just need to get to exercise. I made a yoga date with a co-worker I hope is a friend, so that's a good move for me in terms of both activity and socializing.
@IsMollyReallyHungry You are doing AWESOME with steps and aerobics! Did your weekend plan pay off?0 -
Great job cjsacto! I always say a maintain means you did something right for sure and a maintain is better than a gain.
Yes I got in maintained my 3 pound weight loss over weekend. I hope I did not splurge too much today. Back on it tomorrow. See you on the new thread!
