MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

Idid this a few weeks ago and would like to give it another go. I'm going for 210 minutes. (30 minutes a day). I'm wanting to start on the 30 day shred...again so If I so that this week I'll do additional workouts for the day.

I love the fact that we have options since i have given up on the scale for the month

My goal is : walking for at least 750 minutes this week

Yesssssss!!!! Everyone has different needs, but we all need SUPPORT!! WELCOME!!!!! I sure wish I could give up the scales.................. for I am a daily weigher. YIKES!!

I know , i used to weigh myself everyday, at times even five times a day. It used to frustrate me if i saw no changes or heaven forbid a gain. I shifted to making workout goals weekly rather weigh ins and this made it easier to give up the scale

I really wish TOM would GO HOME!!!! I have the Hungry Horrors really badly today. I am bloated and crabby. I'll do 20 minutes of Wii dance tonight but I can't fathom any more than that. :ohwell:

arwamya ---- right there with you... kudos to taking a month off from the scale. I have had issues in the past and I am REALLY trying to get on the scale less. Now, I know from past experience that my weight easily fluctuates 3-5 lbs. during the day... sometimes as much as 7. So, whay did I get on the scale at night 2 hours after I ate dinner the other day... then freak out as the scale showed I was up 3 pounds. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me. And to make matters worse... I ended up getting upset and eating a bunch of late night snacks... healthy snacks, but too much healthy snacks is still too many calories. As a result... I really did gain a pound. Boo!

I've made a bet with a co-worker to see who can lose 15 lbs first. He doesn't have 15 lbs to lose in my opinion, but makes my odds of winning greater ... especially since as he tones up and puts on more muscle... well, muscle weighs more than fat. Anyway.... it's a win-win for both of us as I need to lose over 100 lbs. so any little bit helps and he wants to tone up. Even so... I want to crush him like a bug. So I really need to get it in gear and start working out. I've lost weight so far simply be making healthier food choices and (mainly) by eating more. I'm still not eating every 3 hours or so as I should be, but I'm doing MUCH, MUCH better than I used to.

It's a process... and I agree, focusing on smaller goals makes the task of losing so much weight and getting back into shape and becoming healthier/happier less daunting.

Now, if you'll excuse me.... I need to get out and go for a walk to get some of my exercise minutes logged off for this week's challenge. smile.

Thanks so much for this thread and all the motivation and support. You all rock!
