MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS FOCUSING ON ONE WEEK AT A TIME, WHEN THE BIG PICTURE SEEMS TOO OVERWHELMING.......
FOR THE WEEK OF: April 17 to April 23, 2011
BUT…… Make your week the week that works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!

You will reach your goal for sure if you break a complicated task into small actionable steps. Do just one step at a time. To get started, choose something you know you can do easily. That can get the ball rolling for getting more done. These small steps will get you where you need to go.

Week 6 Goal Stay within calories/Light Exercise & I did 5/5 days under & began Light Exercise (lost 1.4 lbs)
Week 5 Goal 120 min & I did 65/120 CHANGED TO Stay under Calories & I did 6/7 days (.4 gain due to injury)

Week is Mon-Mon for me0 -
:flowerforyou: I want to THANK YOU all who have become my weight loss family & friends!!
Most of you know that I have been having a very rough couple weeks. Please bare with me. We are all keeping a focus in spite of all the outside interferences. I truly want to support & motivate each of you, as you have me.
:sad: I hurt my tailbone and all the dr appointments for my hubby who was recently diagnosed with RDS/CRPS. I had major problems happen at work which involved police & possibly having to go to court (nothing about me) . Plus a big evaluation at work. One daughter moving & one daughter having a baby and my mom in a Nursing home that has been hospitalized twice in three weeks. Because I have Durable POA, I must be there. Then, you don’t even know, but my mom is being very aggressive and hitting & yelling at the ladies at the Home. I have to call or go there to help get her to take her meds. She throws her meds and refuses her insulin shots. It just goes on & on! So if I have seemed distracted lately, I really am!! Please don’t give up on me.:sad:
Someone said that I have a lot of people that depend on me………….. Thanks! That is an understatement!
Please know, that I DO read your replies but since I have over 100 people on my Friend List, I am unable to respond to everyone right now. :-( But I celebrate your joys and frown upon your setbacks with you.
Love You Guys!! Thanks for being here!!! :flowerforyou: ((((((((HUGG)))))))) 0 -
:flowerforyou: WELCOME SKINNY JEAN & MABEAR:flowerforyou:
I hope you find that the focus on one week at a time works well for you. Most here are having a lot os success with it!
Good Luck!! MaBear
Who is the lady in the pic with you?0 -
Dee - I will lift you and your family up in prayer and keep you on my list. I hope that your family's health (and your health) get better soon or that the situations may ease a bit. I am thinking of you!!! xoxoxoxo
Welcome to the newcomers - I have "met" a great support system here and I wouldn't be as successful as I am now without them!
My Goals for this week (Sunday to Saturday):
1) Exercise for 225 minutes (I am increasing because I will get at least 60 minutes, if not more, of walking in today alone)
2) Aim for a 3 pound loss this week.
3) Limit sodium to below 1800mg per day.
Good luck everyone!0 -
Im back in..................500 mins and 12 cups of water a day0

Missdee I am so sorry to hear about everything going on with you and your family. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that things improve. You are amazing for being able to help everyone around you and still not forget about yourself, you must be a superhero!
As for me I'm in again, My goal is going to be the same this week as last week. I actually managed to lose some weight by staying under my calories and getting a bit of exercise in which I wasn't expecting. So I want to continue to stay conscious of everything I am eating so I do not stress eat too much. I also hope to get in some exercise to help me contend with the stress.0 -
I am going for 12 miles this week plus some additional strength traininig.0
-
last week's goal was to get strength training back into my exercise routine. I was shooting for 3 days. I managed to get 2 in! I'm going to be pleased enough with that since I haven't been doing it at all regularly.
This week, I will shoot again for the three strength training workouts. I am also shooting to get over 100g of protein daily. I've been working on this for a few days and I am getting over 90 but not reaching the 100g mark I want to achieve.
Good luck to every one!
And Miss Dee, I, too, will be lifting you and your family up in prayer. What a difficult time for you. ~hugs~ Be sure to take care of yourself so you can continue to take care of others!0 -

I just tried "Proud Mary" on the Just Dance 2 program and HOLY MOLY the middle to the end of that song got my pouring sweat! WOWZA!!! I am off to shower!0 -
:happy: You gals are ALL amazing!! :drinker:
Thank you all so much!!
:noway: The drama never seems to end around here. There was just a bunch of fire whistles & trucks & ambulance down the street here and I guess there was a gas leak. and someone died. :-(
BUT I almost have my steps in for the day. so I WILL make it 2 days in a row. LOL My food did good too. Had enough leftover for my favorite healthy snack.
Suz
I wish I had you around to dance with. My hubby would think me nuts if I just started dancing. LOL
Sounds like everyone is off to a great start here!! That's great, just not sure what the end of the week is gonna bring.
Have a GREAT evening!!0 -
Ok Im in, my goal is to do all my at home workouts this week. I work as a exercise instructor so I workout minimum 3x a week. I have a schedule that I am doing for my self at home that includes running and p90x workouts. I have been having trouble staying motivated to workout at home lately so a plan to do it just for this week seems a lot easier than saying Im going to stick with it from here on out.
This is a great idea thank you.:happy:
Also I plan to take it easy on the Easter candy that is coming my way this week in my kids Easter baskets.0 -
Monday check in (6/21 planks 90/315 core exercises)
and I'm happy to report I brought my breakfast & lunch to work today.
Keep up all the hard work everyone!!0 -
