    Hi! First week with the mini goals, so here goes:

    1. Drink ALL my water every day
    2. Eat more veggies and fruits (3 servings minimum)

    3. Im stumped.,..I have been going back and forth between a few...I think I am going to go with starting a little notebook with food ideas...I know it wont impact weight loss for the week but it will in the long run


    My week goes from Sun to Sat.

    Good luck everyone! We can do this!

    Good Sunday Morning to All ~

    Goals for 8/21-8/27:

    1. To not get up and eat after I'm in bed for the night. This is something I didn't do as well with last week as I would have liked, so here it is again!!! I knew it would take more than one week and probably more than two to make it a habit. I have to undo the habit of getting up that has been going on for many, many years.
    2. Exercise!! Dogsitting this week, which should make this one a no brainer since he has to go for walks!!

    It seems like many of us are educators. I work in an elementary school as a special education assistant and absolutely LOVE my job. I'm back to work in just about 2 weeks. Who else works as an educator?? I think it would be nice to know since we will most likely have the same struggles during the school year and we can help each other through.

    Best of luck to everyone this week and a big THANK YOU to LadyGloria and MAK for keeping this challenge going :drinker:

    Little mount, ww points? Sounds like a healthy diet plan. Glad you gave yourself a reward point as well.

    Welcome lamaur, goals can be as many or as few as you like. They can be related to whatever you need them to be. No need to worry if you don't have three. :)

    Kris, I love strength training. What a you thinking about doing?

    Danlyn, school counselor/psychologist here. It can be challenging, but we will make it through. Best dea so fR:avoiding the staff lounge with treat food freebies. ;-)

    Aim, welcome! great ideas for goals. Can't wait to support them while you do them.

    Mrogers, you're welcome! I love your goals this week, especially the sodium one. Giving ourself credit for decreases and permission not to get it right everyday is a huge step in this lifestyle change.

    Since tomorrow starts my week back to school, my goal is to follow the exercise schedule I've set for myself instead of putting it off because school is "more important."

    Great goal! Your health is just as important as your brain and I'm certain your stress levels will appreciate the break!

    My goals for the new week (as of Mon 8/22):

    1) Exercise Everyday! (This is my first ever exercise goal, so no specific time/activity limitations)
    2) Calories have to be at least 1200 and end in the green when accounting for exercise (so as not to under/over eat exercise calories)
    3) Everyday I need to research a lower-sodium alternative for whatever was my highest sodium content food for the day.

    Happy Goal Reaching Everyone!!

    mrogers, you can do it!

    lttee, are there such things as wise choices that only benefit the one who makes them? I find that often times, in the long term, those wise decisions end up benefiting those we interact with as well. Makes us more pleasant to be around. :)

    philosohoe, nice research goal! You'll have to let us know what you find out!

    Thanks. :blushing:

    Chalean Extreme is a weight training program that focuses on burning fat by gaining muscle. I have pitiful strength and I'd like to build stronger muscles and better endurance. I also enjoy my weight training at the gym, but the individual muscle targeting by these machines was driving me nuts with how long it took so 30-45 minute dvds seemed to be the way to go. I'll definitely keep you updated. I also plan to continue my cardio routines and even do a partial hybrid with turbo fire. When I make it through the first round of Chalean, then I will determine if I want to do the full hybrid next.

    I couldn't agree more with this statement.

    As for the question: "who's a teacher?" I am. I teach 8th grade Language Arts, and I also have a special education credential. School is challenging, no doubt. But I'm scheduled. Sometimes I mess up more on the weekends when I have more freedom and less planning.
