in Getting Started
I'm just starting back at getting healthy after about 18mos of slacking off. I find there is a tremendous amount that I need to fix so I'm setting weekly goals to help make the changes less overwhelming. I would love to hear other's weekly goals.

As for mine this weeks are:
1. Exercise at least 30min every day.
2. Cut down to one coke a day
3. Cut the cookies down to 2 a day.
4. Log everything I eat
5. Register for the Disney Royal Family 5k in Feb

    Stay within my net calories goal
    Meet my fiber, protein, and calcium goals
    Exercise at least 45 minutes
    Redeem a voucher for a month at a local gym (I might wait until tomorrow, since today is gorgeous here and I can get outside, whereas tomorrow it's supposed to rain and be about 15 degrees F colder)

    I totally should add preparing food ahead to my goals as well. Guess maybe this is a good idea to think about every week. They say all you have to do is change one bad habit at a time and it can change your life.

    I would find that there is still a lot on your goal list. For me, I would be happy to log everything and try to stay on program with calories.

    This week's goals

    ~ to drink my whole water container at work at least once each day, even though I am not as thirsty when it's colder weather as I was during the summer

    ~ to finally break 50 lb. I'm on a mini-plateau of sorts, as I keep "losing and gaining" the same 2-3 lb for the past 2 weeks. I think it will happen by steering clear of sodium (which is usually not a prob for me, but I've eaten a lot of Chinese and Thai food recently)

    ~ to go for a brisk outdoor walk at least twice between now and Thursday. I currently do about 80% of my weekly exercise Sat/Sun and would like to get into the habit of being more active through the early part of my work week.

    My goal for this week is to only focus on one day at a time, really one "meal" at a time. I've had a bad habit the past year and a half or so of doing really great for the first few days of the week, and then sabotaging the whole thing by eating terribly on the weekends or in the evenings.

    So today I am taking a new approach. I logged my meals for the day and my goal is to not stray from my diary. I haven't done that in a LONG time (actually stick to my meal plan). So if I can do this today I will feel really empowered.

    Good luck everyone with your own goals!! :D

    This week I am going to focus on drinking more water (7 per day) and plan healthy meals all the way through the weekend. I hardly ever plan weekend meals and I am always scrambling to cook something quick (usually not too healthy). I will also exercise everyday (challenge groups help with this).

    Depending on how busy you are day to day that can make a huge difference. That's what the hubby and I did every Sunday night was prep and batch cooking what we could. That's what I did for starting this week too. ^_^

    I have one goal this week. Do not get behind on my workout schedule. I got behind twice last week. I did manage to get my workouts all in, and lost some weight, but I'd rather keep them on the day they are supposed to be on, instead of 2 or 3 at a time.

    Mine are:

    *To up my water intake. I have been slacking a little on this. I'm driving, starting early in the dark and cold and it just doesn't inspire me to drink water. Between wanting more black coffee and not wanting more bathroom breaks, I've begun drinking less water....but I feel better and do better in my hunger management and weight loss when I drink more. Plus I really do love it.

    *To go grocery shopping. There is food in the house, but some of the staple things that I rely on are getting pretty sparse.

    *To exercise outside of moving freight at work at least twice, even if that just means taking a couple of walks.

    *To take my meds every day. I've been slacking a bit on that, too. Going to the pharmacy today! I don't take anything that missing a day of is going to kill me, but I do benefit from taking them for now. And the better I do now, the more chance that I can quit taking one of them for good later on.
