Any "mini goal" motivation?
Replies

It's summer time still and my "mini goal" is to gain a few more pounds of muscle while staying lean/toned in the next couple months. I would prefer it to be 1 pound a week, but I realistically know it will be .25lb to .5 a week if i can keep the consistency going (it's safer this way too). I suppose setting up the goals in small increments makes it more realistic too right?
I hope I can stay on the right track... I've finally been active on this message board (started this week) after more than a year on MFP and I notice I'm more cautious with my eating habits/workouts. I'll reach that mini-goal with MFP, time to stay active now!0 -
This thread inspired me to make a list of mini-goals! Hopefully it'll help give me a little push.... I would have more increments on the inches but I don't actually know what a good goal is because I've never kept track of measurements before MFP, so for now I'm shooting for "healthy".
