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!

Hello again warriors!
So I definitely met my running goal last week - I was able to get up to 7 laps around the block before dropping to a walk! This week I want to TRY to work on speed, because I really only have about a half-hour to run in the mornings. I'd like to try to get up to doing about 16 laps in that time, which will have me at about 2.75 miles in a half-hour.
There's a staff meeting after school Monday, but I'm going to try to make it to kickboxing then because I have orientation for my summer job Tuesday evening and I'm not sure what time. I need to make sure I get a head-start on my masters work for the week because I'm going to be chaperoning a field trip on Friday into Saturday and will probably want the rest of Saturday to recover.
I've been using my "open" weekend to grade projects. Bleugh. And I have GOT to write an essay for my masters program and get lunch packed for tomorrow.
Quote for the week: You simply have to keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead. - George Lucas
Do your best, and be kind to yourself, warriors!

Happy May Day!

4) 2L water - 1/7

I ate sugar pretty freely in April, want to get back to no sugar. I quit coffee again and went back to tea last week. Still some caffeine.
@clicketykeys Awesome job on running! And kickboxing and accomplishing all that you do.
@IsMollyReallyHungry Thanks for getting us started again this week!
I went to a new hot yoga class yesterday. It's a form of yoga I've been going to for a while, Vinyasa Flow (beginner), but I've never taken it in a heated room. I liked the instructor a lot. I missed a whole week of going to the yoga/TRX studio because I was focused on (stressed about) my work event and, to be honest, didn't feel like it due to TOM. But I need to get my money's worth, lol, and I plan to go several times this week.
Last night I got about 12 hours of sleep, just crashed. They say you can't really "catch up" on missed sleep but it sure feels like it.1 -
@cjsacto - 12 hrs of sleep is phenomenal!!

1) 7000 steps – 0/4

I feel you, @cjsacto - I woke up when my alarm went off so that I can have my AM run, and I thought for about half a second, and went "nope, need more" and turned that one off and went back to sleep.
GLORIOUS! But I've already got it set for tomorrow!

So as of this morning I did 2.7 miles in 34 minutes. *sigh* Dunno if I'm going to meet my goal this week; I have a field trip coming up on Friday and it's going to be a 24-plus hour ordeal. So I'm planning to get as MUCH sleep as possible Thursday night to help me be as ready as I can! And then Saturday morning when we get back I am going to CRASH. So I won't run Friday or Saturday, and probably not Sunday either as I'll be trying to get all of my weekend stuff done then.
Still, 2.7 miles in 34 minutes isn't BAD. I'll just probably have to keep working on it next week too.0 -

@clicketykeys Your running speed looks impressive to me - of course I understand you're trying to meet a goal but it's nothing to sneeze at. Hope you get that rest, sounds like a tiring trip.
@IsMollyReallyHungry Wait, looks like you've met your sleep goal twice, not once? Mon & Wed? That's one of the hardest!0 -
This morning was 15 laps (2.6m) in 33 minutes. Technically I that's a slight improvement, but it's hard to tell since I have just a watch, not a stopwatch. But hopefully I'll continue to see gains - I just need to be patient! That's the hardest part sometimes, I think ;D
@cjsacto - exactly, and that's why I'm trying to avoid letting myself get bummed out about it, you know?
@IsMollyReallyHungry - Way to go on your sleep goals! I have trouble sleeping and I know how frustrating that can be.0 -
@cjsacto - good job water! I am working on veggies too this week. Just did not list
@clicketykeys - great runs!!

Some drama at work, long story. Several days of generally bad feelings all around. I hate that. (Not really my drama but I'm caught in the middle.) Anyway, I can feel the difference in my stress level, sleep quality, etc.
@IsMollyReallyHungry Nice work on the steps! And you met your sleep goal, too. Awesome!
@clicketykeys How was the trip?0 -
Trip was good. Exhausted, though. And discouraged. Saw the highest number in I think a year this morning. I'm going to have to go back to logging, as much as I hate it.
Did not run this morning; stayed up late to get a project finished for the masters program because it was due and I was pretty much useless after that trip. Did run on Sunday morning but it took me an hour to go four miles.
Negative progress sucks, but I need to keep in mind that it could be worse. And I need to start putting things back in order.2 -
Glad trip was good. Drink a lot of water. I bet number on scale was from salt. I never weigh day back from a trip. I take a day or 2 to get back on track drink a lot of water to get all of the sodium out of me. And if I do weigh the same day I keep in mind it is sodium from eating out a lot. and when I weigh in a few days it all drops. Take it one day at a time my friend and get back to your regular routine.....Good luck on your mastersclicketykeys wrote: »Trip was good. Exhausted, though. And discouraged.

Hello Ladies- I hope you all have a good week. I will see you on the new thread but wanted to finish up the week.
clicketykeys- glad you had a good trip. sorry you are discouraged. give it a little time and I bet the number will go back down. you just need to get back to a routine a bit and log a bit to get you back on track.
Molly- so great about doing a Leslie Sansone tape to get in your steps. You had a good week and I know you can continue.
cjsacto- good job with all of you goals this week. keep moving forward. I feel you about drama and stress at work. sorry you are going through that. hang in there.1 -
Thanks Paulette
