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! :)

    This week:
    1. Monday: Write a discussion post. Grade late work. Grade 10 analysis presentations. AUDITION!
    2. Weigh my celery snack 5x. (Maybe this will help me develop the habit of weighing? idk... worth a try!)
    3. Tuesday: Write discussion responses. Grade 10 analysis presentations. French-speaking meetup. ???
    4. Zumba Tue/Thu/Sat; weights Mon/Wed/Sat. Will probably adjust this to park running as it
    5. Wednesday: Quiz. Draft essay. Review & draft lesson plan. Print. Trivia?
    6. Friday: Hand out progress reports. Running: 3.5 miles, aim for 50 minutes.
    7. Essay submitted Saturday.

    Last week was tough. I'm glad I got all my coursework done. My lesson plans aren't written up, but I know what I'm doing. I hope I can just stay off the radar :P

    Hi Joyce-welcome. You are correct just post goals and check in as often as you need to stay on track. Have a great week.

    Molly- good to see you here. It is a struggle but I am with you on getting back on track.

    Clicketykeys- how is your week going?

    I did get in 6,000 steps in. No progress on other goals.

    Awesome goals everyone! Do the best you can :D

    @windowqueen2003 - I'm with you on the accountability. I'm pretty good with self-discipline, but if I don't write things down I just forget them completely!

    @forestrose910 - Going pretty good! I'm behind on my analysis grades but I did a great job at my audition last night. Really hoping I get cast! Fingers crossed.

    @IsMollyReallyHungry - Ain't it, though?! ;D I feel like it's not so much about getting back on track... because my entire TRACK is a struggle sometimes!

    It's supposed to be nice at least in the mornings, so I'm going to run in the morning and do strength classes in the evenings. Tomorrow I might see if my husband will go for a walk with me.

    I didn't do ANY grading during my first period while students were working on their projects. I don't know what's going on with my brain but I just couldn't concentrate :(

    Hello Warriors! I see good progress and everyone checked in at least once so that is something and I am checking in before Friday! YAY!!

    I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.5 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heart beat and nothing less that is for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. We have to keep trying and trying until we get it right! Whooohooo!!

    Have a great weekend!


    **Goals week of 3/11/19:**

    1) WW blue dot day - 2/4
    2) Get in the bed before 12:00 or 6 plus hrs of sleep - 3/4 (3 nights over 7 hrs!! )
    3) 7000 steps - 1/4
    4) No fast food - 2/5 - had a hot dog from Costco today :neutral:
    5) 2 days checking in! yay! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because that helps me for sure.

    Hello Paulette, Good job on your steps and checking this week. The rest will come, just keep at it. Good luck on your weigh in tomorrow too!!

    Hope everyone is hanging in there!

    Have a great weekend Everyone! :flowerforyou:


    Yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is really my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me! :smile:

    Hi Molly- that resisting fast food and cooking at home was really good decision and resolve. Good going. Your new plan sounds solid and seems to make sense for you. I believe it can work for you. Great job with your goals so far. You are doing awesome. Finish strong.

    goals this week
    1. 6,000 steps this week 5 days 3/5
    2. Log food at least 4 times 0/4
    3. 2 workouts 0/2
    4. Weigh on Sunday- done- weight was down but I have not reset my weight since before vacation. I believe i need to do this each week. My doctor suggested each day but that is too much for me. I am going to wait to reset my weight on mfp for now.

    Okay let’s finish this week on a good note.

    Congrats on weigh in!! I weigh most days of the week also. Everyone can't do the daily weigh ins. I personally love them and attribute them to my success and keeping my weight off from my WLS. See you on next weeks thread! Good night!
