Week one goals

Exercise goal- 4 weight lifting/heavy cardio sessions
Wellness goal- take time to relax and enjoy the sunset one evening
Nutritional goal- no sweets or dairy - I need to get back on the wagon. I didn't have any for lent, but then Easter came along. Both make me feel gross and bloated.

Reward for succeeding - Hmm. This is a tough one for me. I always automatically think food reward, and I do not wish to do that this time around. I'm going to say that for every day I am successful I will save one dollar towards a Vera Bradley carry-it-all wristlet. I know it is not a weekly reward, but taking things day by day seems to be more beneficial to me.

I'm looking forward to participating in this group! Anyone from the central Florida area?

    Sigh..... Gone over my calories on my first day of joining this group! Made a nutritionally healthy tea of brown rice with stir fry veg and cashew nuts but my husband and son are trying to put weight ON so I was generous with the olive oil.
    Weighed EVERYTHING and had a small portion but when I put it all in my diary later I had managed to have 850 calories in a small portion!
    Damn olive oil and nuts!
    Still hungry so had a banana and fat free yogurt (healthy) but it has still put me well over. Gutted.

    Exercise: Do Combat each day as scheduled.

    Nutrition: Log everything... the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Wellness: Work on tuning out the negative people at work.

    Reward: Olive Oil Masque for my hair. It's so nice, but a little expensive for the amount you get.


    Good luck everyone!

    Exercise goal: Week 1 of a 30 Day Challenge, treadmill for 20-30 minutes at least 3 mornings
    Nutritional goal: Commit to eating only fruits and vegetables until 1:00pm (as advised by nutritionist), and stay within calorie goal 7 days in a row
    Wellness goal: Enjoy one sunset with my husband, walk on the beach once, and spend 10 minutes of quiet time each day to destress

    Reward: If I accomplish all these goals by the end of the week I'm not sure what my reward will be... I generally do food rewards, too, but I'm trying to move away from them this time around. Maybe I will do an at-home spa day? Teeth whitening, face mask, relaxing bubble bath... Yeah, I think that sounds pretty wonderful! :)

    I'm thinking that if I can stick it out and be successful that my 60 Day Challenge reward will ultimately be a massage and mani/pedi! Woot! :D

    Exercise goal: Week 1 of Insanity + 2 weight lifting sessions + Yoga
    Nutritional goal: Practice balance (going to SC on vacation Thursday-Sunday) and stop eating when full, opt for healthier dishes at restaurants
    Wellness goal: Enjoy time spent with friends this weekend

    Reward: The trip itself is a reward, but maybe if I do my Insanity DVDs the whole time I'm there and stay on schedule, I can reward myself with a small souvenir before I come home!

    No time is wasted time.
    -Cantus Fraggle

    I will start this week off with a motivational quote from one of my favorite people in the world, Cantus Fraggle. I'm totally psyched about the opportunity to be in a group and be motivated by women who are strong and working towards a set goal. Thank you all in advance and Thank you df1982 for starting this group, You Rock!
    My goals this week are to restart my RunKeeper Training Plan, I'm a week behind. It's funny how words of criticism can stop us in our tracks and derail our mindset, spirit, and state of being. Today I begin again.
    I Will Run 4X This Week! Sun,Tue,Thurs,&Sat
    I Will Do Kelli's Booty Workout 5X This Week! Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thur,&Fri (Her Booty Inspires Me! L.o.L.)

    It's Not Easy Being Green as stated by Kermit the Frog, and that is my Nutritional goal for this week, I'm going Totally Green This Week! I Will Eat More Veggies & More of Her Sister Too! (Fruit that is) I want my Colon to be able to say,"Thank you Sister for the extra Garden of Goodies keep up the good work!"

    The Station of Electric Optimism begins Inside of Yourself, that being said my Wellness Goal for this week is to Ignite that Spark of Awesomeness by Meditating and Connecting With The Power Inside of Me!
    I Will Meditate 2X Daily for 10 Minutes Each Day! (There is some awfully loud construction going on inside of my head and I need to complete the project and silence it.)

    Electric Determination will be my Reward at the end of this week by completing these goals and the thought that I finished this week with Super Sparkle Success!
    At the end of this I want to be able to look in the mirror and Totally Crush On Me for once! In all actuality who better conveys appreciation for a Job Well Done than a Sparkly New You!
    Cheers To The Beginning of All Things Beautiful!

    I'm starting small here because I've really fallen off the bandwagon. Anything too big and I'll likely not do it.

    Exercise goal: Make it to the week at least 3 times this week.

    Nutritional Goal: Eat a veggie with every meal (Or fruit at breakfast), and drink more water (Let's say I replace 2 coffees (I usually drink 3) with big glasses of water)

    Wellness Goal: Spend time reading every night.

    Reward: I'll let myself enjoy an expensive latte from down the street next weekend.
