MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

ok Its Monday!!! Have already put in 48 mins of exercise.... still have to work for a few hours then its house cleaning and hopefully some more ME time with the DVDs...I don't like counting cleaning as exercise cals however with todays load I am gonna count them just so I can have the extra cals for the week.... The house hasn't had a good scrubbing in about 2 weeks and I forsee a mop and pail in my hands by this afternoon. Hope everyone has a good start of the week!!!

Awesome way to start off a Monday - great job!
I only count cleaning when I do the heavy-duty spring cleaning =/ so thats only like once a month or so.

I did my 30DS! I will be @ level2 this week!

My goal this week, I want to lose another pound, and add strength training to my exercise. not just what I do in JM 30DS circuit training. I want to lift heavier and lift til failure. I want to do this 3 times a week.
I can't believe I lost a pound while I was on vacation. I believe I was over my calorie goal everyday. But I did make it a point to exercise every day.
Have a great day everyone. Good luck on your challenges. We can do it!

Suzanne, thank you honey! I'm so glad to see you! Let's really keep on each other this week!

I will keep on ya!!! LOL :flowerforyou: How are you doing so far today?

What are everyone's goals for TODAY?

My goal today is to drink 10 glasses of water (I'm at 6 and it's 11:30am!), walk during lunch (20 mins) AND do aerobics tonight (20 mins).

Already did my 30DS this a.m, that's part of my goal.
Tonight is ZUMBA but I also want to get in a 30min walk today w/ my son (which I should do within the next hour or so! Keep it up everyone!

My Monday didn't do too well with the water however I did wonderful with the exercise. Got in a total of 96 mins with the PowerWalk DVD. Total of 6 miles throughout the day. Did 2 hours worth of cleaning however I am not going to count that as part of my exercise goal minutes. Need to find something other than the Powerwalk to do for exercise. Just have to get motivated to start in on a new DVD. Have a good night all.

Hello all!

Hope everyone is doing well. I went over calories today (by 219). I ate way too much for dinner and I'm so full and I feel so stuffed. I was hungry all day, and just way over did dinner.
Tomorrow is a new day another chance.

Welcome to all the newcomers to this thread! I promise you'll love it here! We're quite the bunch.

Every lifestyle change has its moments and I can admit I had a week of reverting back to old habits and saw the scale reflect it. I'm reversing that trend this week! I'm making my own smoothies every morning for breakfast, found some DELICIOUS Healthy Choice meals for quick grabs for lunch and I have a ton of recipes to try once I actually get motivated and cook! It's going to be a great week!

Well, I didn't meet any of my goals last week. But, I'm going to give it another shot. Here are my goals for this week:

1. Do at least 30 minutes of exercise each day from today until Monday (probably walking).
2. Do at least 2 homework assignments a day from today until Monday (finished a 12 page paper yesterday! I count that as two).
3. Stay at or below 1800 calories/30 exchanges every day until Monday (stuck to it yesterday).
4. Lose 2 pounds this week by Monday (I'm at 161.2 right now, so that would put me at 159.2).

I would say stay away from junk food again, but that just seems so broad a category to me, and I don't know what the week is going to bring. In any case, I've got 4 goals, not set too high I think I can do it this week!

80/175... if I am feeling adventurous tonight, I might add some more.

Got in 89 mins tonight for a total of 185/240. Need to adjust that to 400 mins for this week. Have figured out I need to work out twice a day to get my rear end in gear..... so its gonna be once in the AM and once in the PM

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS WE ARE PUTTING UP!!!!
One week goals are WORKING!!!!

Great job everyone! Keep up the amazing work!!! I see some fabulous numbers on those tickers!!!!

Wednesday night check-in:
100/175
Good night!

85 mins yesterday for a total of 270/400, Still need to kick up the water. Will try that for my goal for today,. Get in at least 10 glasses. Will check in tonight

My motivation is my daughter, my extremely supportive friends on this site, and when the beautiful weather arrives. I am finally able to breathe when I walk... that motivates me to want to walk MORE... the birds chirping and the sun on my face motivates me to want to walk outdoors... my daughter who needs a mom motivates me.... she won't have me if I am dead of a heart attack.

Sometimes you have to look to find your motivation... but it will come to you!

Friend some of us on here... I honestly could not have motivated myself to do this alone. I need my MFP friends and they need me in return. Feel free to request me and I will do everything I can to support you!

Dig deep... you can do this!!!! I have faith in you!

I am right there with you Suz I love getting out and walking now instead of shoveling food in over lunch.

Today 2 miles over lunch 42 mins and 293 calories burned. YEAH!!

140/175!
