mini goal challenge..who's with me ;)

I'm in. I want to be honest and track every little bit. not kid myself with a nibble here..nibble there.

yea! that's what i'm talking about
it's ok to enjoy a treat every once in a while, but not every day, right?!
stick to your goal for 1 week and tell us how you feel on next Thursday here on this topic

I am in and mine will be snacking randomly, instead I will stick to my diary instead of altering it to accommodate snacking...I run a daycare and seem to snack a tad everytime the kids eat a meal or have a snack...a few crackers, few fries, chicken nuggets.....bites of stuff and not cuz I am hungry but because I make extra thinking they will eat it and I hate waste...so yup done with it and will welcome waste and stick to my original diary:)

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool !!:laugh:
i'm so glad you're thinking this way...although i don't like waste myself :blushing: ....but being healthy is much much important than that ...
i know you'll do great :flowerforyou:
next Thursday come to this topic and tell us how was it

OK....about me , i did pretty well for 6 days, and in the middle of the week i was up late, and kinda forgot about the chalenge, but don't worry ,i managed to stop myself in the wright moment...so i'm pretty proud of myself......
to make it more chalenging, i have another mini goal for me
i've been a bit sluggish this week about workout, i workout 4 days aweek....so this week i'll workout everyday and try not to miss any workout whatever happens ...i'm determined ,and i'm going to stick to this
i'm really very proud of all of us........and remember to keep it up ,an even if there was a day where you felt bad or gone off track ..just remember you're not alone...i know i'm here for you, and you're here for me , tomorrow is always a better day...stay motivated:flowerforyou:

Thanks for getting us motivated really appreciated the positivity and good luck on your exercise plan remember when your feeling lazy and not in the moon to work out you can always do something light like yoga or a walk not all exercise has to be strenuous especially if you want to do it daily something I need to work on myself I get lazy or unmotivated and instead if doing nothing I should at lest do something

oh thank you :flowerforyou:
i figured that out really late, i just tried yoga and it turned out to be awesome :happy: , and it sure feel better to do this low intensity excersice than not doing anything at all...
you know , i workout at night because the weather becomes better...and i keep myself hydrated all day , an deven when i'm working out i drink lots of water ,in case i felt really sweaty and hot :happy:
just remember the feeling you get when you finish your workout, and this should push you forward

I even posted on another forum talking about no food after 9pm, but I still find myself guilty of nibbling out of the fridge late at night sometimes! This will be my goal too! I'll just drink a glass of water when i get munch! Oh and another goal of mine is to do cardio everyday! I always wuss out of cardio because then I am too sweaty and tired to do my other routines (plus I live downtown toronto and walk everywhere all day). Atleast 15-20 minutes on the treadmill everyday for me!

oh you've got to be careful , we don't say don't eat after 9, we say don't eat high harmful carbs after 9......if you're hungry ( like i am at midnight) , i eat greek yogurt, or fruit , or yogurt with fruit, anything delicious that is enough to stop your hunger and cravings but also good and doesn't make you gain weight
so next time you're hungry in the middle of the night, you know what to do....
if you stop eating then you'll findd yourself nibbling even more harmful food ( been there, done that :ohwell: ) ,so you need to eat right, not eat less :flowerforyou:
water is just great , i do drink water first when i feel hungry, because the body may confuse thirst with hunger
i love your mini goals
next time you wuss out of cardio ,think how it feels like to finish a whole workout, i know you'll be even more proud of yourself as we will be proud of you :flowerforyou:
cardio doesn't consume your energy..it INCREASES IT , maybe the first week you'll feel exhausted, but then you'll feel energized and you will get addicted to it :smokin:

so here is the deal...for 7 days you don't eat carbs after 9 ..(at least 3 hours before bed time) , and every time you feel hungry get water first, and workout for 6 days ( the 7th is the rest day )
and get here on this topic on Thursday and tell us how was it
we'll always be here for you
