Warrior Mini-Goal Challenge for short term goals
Focusing on one week at a time, when the big picture seems too overwhelming. Small changes can bring on big results!!
Choose one or more things you want to work on for just this week. Don't set it too high or unreachable!!
Please, make sure your week works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!
You can reach your main goal if you break it into small actionable steps. It could be as easy as 1-2-3!
1) Choose something you know you can do easily.
2) Add more difficult tasks to your plan.
3) These small steps will get you started, motivated & help build routine for long term success!!
Anyone interested in joining us for another week, or a first week, or a get back on track week?
Have a great week and do the best you can! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :laugh: :happy: :flowerforyou:

New Weekly Goals
Sunday Night Check-in- Log 3 days
- salad greens 3 days
- breakfast 3 days
- at least 8 hours sleep nightly
Cheers Ladies for a strong week for each of us!
Sunday Night Check-in- I just didn't seem to have it together today, hadn't shopped yet etc. so might be better for me to simply check back in tomorrow as my first day of the week.
I did get some volunteer work done today for a number of hours.. enjoyed seeing everyone again. Funniest thing when I was helping out my knee never once bothered me with pain. It was a bit stiff but not the pain I have at home or else where. Strange how when you stop thinking about your own life and think about others and what they need sometimes it works that way. Not always mind you but I think my having not been there for about 6 weeks or so gave me a nice break.
Hope everyone got a bit of 'me' time this weekend! xo

Good Morning, Mini Goalers. Happy Monday. This is the start of my week and I am going to really work hard this week to complete all my goals and then move on from there.

I am so glad you were able to get in some volunteer work and forget about those pains for a little while. good luck getting some sleep this week and shopping so you are set up to succeed with your food choices.
Karen- welcome back for another week. excellent goals. I know you can get them done this week. good luck.
Susan- good to see you holding down the fort for us last week and now this week. hopefully, I can be a little more active this week.

Keep up the good work, ladies Yes I'm proud of you too getting those lunches packed with it being a brand new job and all sometimes it's easy to miss things like that. Walking at lunch is a nice thing to break up the day and move our bodies from sitting etc. and to have been able to keep the schedule going is awesome!

Papillon- that's great your job is going well, and hats off to you for taking the time to prepare your lunches and get your walks in!
Forestrose- looks like we are going to both make our 4/7 exercise goal this week
Karen and Hearts- how's it going?
Today's check in:
2/4 exercise completed and going to yoga today for 3/4
I've been making an extra effort by planning, shopping, and cooking to get more protein in each day so far this week
Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!0 -
So far the week is going well, but I still haven't gotten out the strength training stuff and DVD. My husband will be gone for 4 days beginning early Friday morning, so I'm making Friday afternoon the time for that. I missed my plank yesterday, but did one now and will do another later today. I did a long hike yesterday 12 1/4 miles, and I was a little tired and just plain forgot the plank.0
-
Oops, I wasn't finished. Must have just hit the wrong button.
Anyway, I have exercised 3 days so far and a planned hike on Friday. Will try to get a short one in after my 2 hour volunteer greeting at the trailhead Saturday morning as well.
Papillon, new jobs can be so tiring from the increase in stress. Good for you for doing your meal planning and getting some walks in. Hopefully each week you will have a little more energy as you settle in to the new job.
Susan, good job on the food planning to get more protein in. Also, good going on the exercise. How do you like your yoga class? I need to either get into a stretching class or yoga occasionally for some flexibility.
Forestrose, good job on meeting your goals. It does seem to help me to be accountable.
Hearts, thanks for all your encouragement for all of us. I hope your week is going well.
Take care everybody and have a good rest of the week!0 -
Thank for your kind words, everyone!
Wednesday check-in:
Work out! 3/7
Breathe! 3/7
Keep up the good work, ladies

Hearts- keep going. take care of yourself and I hope it is better soon. make as many smart choices as you can and just hang on. I know it will get better.
Susan- You have a good week going and I saw you did your yoga yesterday. Yes we both will make our 4/7 exercise goal. Keep it going.
Karen- you have a good plan and I think it might push you into where you want to be. You can do this. finish the week strong.

My week's goal to increase my protein paid off with the scale- yay! I was soooo discouraged last week, but feeling jazzed now I've been stuck in what seems like a never ending plateau for well over a year with some summer vacation weight gain that just hasn't wanted to come back off. It can be so discouraging, which is why I appreciate this group so much. Whether the scale cooperates or not, I can focus on setting weekly goals for behaviors over which I have control, and I am encouraged by the accountability and your kind words of support. Thank you thank you thank you fellow Weekly Warriors 0

Susan- great work and great news. keep going and take it one day at a time. increasing protein really helps and I know you can continue on this path.

Susan I'm so glad to hear your good news with scale heading in the right direction. Sometimes that's just what it takes to keep us going.
Saturday check in:
I logged every meal.
I'm not sure I got more vegetables in, but made a tasty kale dish that my husband even liked.
I got serious hikes in on four days and a total of 109,980 steps so far this week.
I continued with the plank for one minute a day.
Finally today I got out my ultimate sand bag (I use water to fill the bags) gear, watched the video and did the first workout. It was quite challenging. I may have to empty the bags a little to decrease the weight until I'm a little stronger. My upper body strength leaves quite a bit to be desired.
I also picked up my bike from the bike shop. Getting on it will be one of next weeks goals.
I want to thank all of you for this group. I know I wouldn't have gotten that weight training equipment out if it hadn't been for you.
Happy weekend to all of you especially the very busy ones. I hope you are getting a little rest and relaxation this weekend!0 -
