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! :)

    WHOOPS. I just remembered that on Thursday I'm volunteering as house manager at the theater. That means I won't be able to Zumba that day, which means I probably ought to switch the Wednesday and Thursday runs so I get more steps in Thursday to make up for the ones I won't get with Zumba.

    Anyone can Zumba! You know, I don't know that I've SEEN modifications for people in chairs, but I've heard about them. And I don't see why not! ;D

    Also found out today that the writing group is going to be every OTHER week. So no writing group next Monday.

    I'm cutting back on my morning runs. The Halloween event at the park where I work will have me staying up pretty late, and I don't want to try to juggle my sleep schedule any more than I have to.

    Also, I'm tired a LOT lately. And between the running AND the exercise classes, I think I'm just pushing too hard.

    Happy Friday! :flowerforyou:

    @clicketykeys - I think that is a wise decision. You should not sacrifice your sleeping schedule for sure. I definitely see the difference in my control when I sleep more hours. Good job noticing your limitations.
