In the weekly Warrior Mini-Goal Challenge focus on your 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?

Check in often, have a great week and do the best you can! B)<3

    Thanks Hearts for getting us started this week and all the motivational pictures /sayings. I love your sleep goal. Sleep is so important to our health and well being . Kind of ironic that I'm saying that while posting at 2 AM lol. I frequently wake up in the middle of the night and it takes a while for me to get back to sleep, so I go online for a bit, but I do shoot for a total of 8 hours or more even if it is interrupted :)

    Hi everyone,

    Hope we are feeling like the pace is a good one to maintain for 2015.

    Molly - you make some great observations about what works to keep you accountable and motivated. I'm sorry to hear about your friend's cancer - that's a particularly brutal one. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me we have to keep applying these insights and plug away and believe in ourselves.

    Karen - what an ambitious hiking regime!! I admire that. I am still hesitant to commit the weight of a pack on my back for that many days. But I will explore a shorter version of a hike to see how I feel instead of guessing how I will feel!

    Julie's mini-goals:
    1) Track and be green! (0/5)
    2) Strength Training x 2 (Tues & Thurs) (0/2)
    3) Tackle one area for improvement this week

    tee hee hee You'll notice the time here in a moment when I click 'post reply'. I woke up to get water and decided to pop on and catch up a bit on here.

    Also my status has changed a bit as I now do the 'Intro' section on the forums as a Greeter/Mod for the site. I popped on to see how much Spam I needed to delete over there. lol Learning to strike a balance over there and get on a few times a day and not add more computer time... too much computer time means less workout time, less down time and of course messes up our meal times.

    Balance, another great lesson to learn/workout. :)

    xo I'll say goodnight... again. ;)

    Julie's mini-goals:

    1) Track and be green! (1/5) - doing well so far. Made an amazing eggplant dish last night (ratatouille) - highly recommend it as tasty, nutritious, filling and low cal.

    2) Strength Training x 2 (Tues & Thurs) (0/2) - I am going to go to my other gym before tennis as I can't face the crowds at my other gym (at work) it is chaos and mayhem.

    3) Tackle one area for improvement this week - This week, as it is deep winter here in Canada, I am getting our gas fireplace working again. A technician is coming in tomorrow (hurray!) to assess it and then we can see what it will take to get it fixed.

    Stay strong everyone!

    Well first off welcome to the group :)

    Regarding sleep is it that you can't sleep because of little kids? Insomnia? Work hours?

    It's vital to get enough sleep.. I think sometimes ppl think of it as luxurious to get in 8 hours but it's vital (and of course changes somewhat varying on our age). Hormones are released during sleep hours that replenish our bodies, our brains, help us by either continuing to stay healthy or heal. It also has a lot to do with weigh loss.. getting enough sleep is as important as what we eat and how much we move our bodies.

    I know there's been times in my life I've not been able to have enough and now I really push myself to get it in. I'm sure it's because I've learned of it's importance.

    Julie's mini-goals:

    1) Track and be green! (2/5) - right on target yesterday. But today may be thrown off due to the chocolate cake in the office. Will see how disciplined I am tonight! That's the key.

    2) Strength Training x 2 (Tues & Thurs) (0/2) - GAH! Failing at this. I did floor work for abs instead.

    3) Tackle one area for improvement this week - technician came today - I await his analysis to fix the fireplace....this is an exciting time!
