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

    My Weekly Goals

    1 ~ Do not snack after dinner.
    2 ~ Workout M,W,Th,F,Sa
    3 ~ Log everything

    The main lifestyle change I'm focusing on is the snacking after dinner. This is where I tend to go overboard. I can do this!!!

    Hello Everyone! Last week for me was another week of coming close but not reaching my goals. I hope this week I can do the goals.

    Hearts- Thanks so much for getting us started. You are so consistent and we appreciate it. I like your goals. stick with it and I know you can make progress.

    Crystalee145- Welcome and looks like some good goals. after dinner can be a tough time. If you feel like you have to snack, then perhaps you can look at something that fits in with your daily but is not a big deal. something like sugar free jello and some others that don't have many calories etc.

    My goals this week
    1. Exercise 4 times
    2. 65,000 steps
    3. Log 3 times and be in the green 3 times.

    Sunday Check-in

    Day 7 binge free - had another good day
    Sleep on the other hand I almost made it to bed and then started responding to a PM I received and ...well...time flew and I went to bed super late again. Seems if I miss my time goal it then becomes extreme and I'm up quite late.

    Tonight... gonna made a much greater effort not to start anything before bedtime so I actually can call it bedtime. lol

    I'm a bit upset with myself as I could have waited until morning to PM back, there was no emergency....but trying not to be unkind to myself as that effects my other goal.

    Cheers for the start of a lovely new week Warriors! :cheers:

    Good morning Dear Warriors. My apologies for starting back up and then being absent again. This was not my intention; however, sadly , someone dear to me passed away last week, and someone else , the life management director and counselor at a Canyon Ranch, whom I really admire, and who has been very kind and helpful to me, vanished into thin air last Tuesday from her home without her wallet, keys, or car. There is still no trace of her after a week in spite of massive searches. Additionally, one of my sister's, who is also grieving the loss of our dear friend, is here for the week. Consequently, my goal for last week and this week had to shift to address my emotional and spiritual needs.

    My Weekly Goals

    Monday Check-in

    Day 9 binge free (Tues pm)
    In bed by 10:02pm Monday night

    Sleep on the other hand I struggled with, unsure why. I did have the lights off and head on my pillow at 10:02 pm. Typically when I eat well I sleep better than ever so not sure what's going on. Oh yea..my right knee is causing me severe pain...not sure what I even did but lots of discomfort. Perhaps that's the reason my sleep is not going so well.

    Keeping it simple this week as my first goal is my main focus.

    I'm getting a bit confused with my check-ins I need to find a way to simplify them. :#
    I'm trying to check in the next morning for my sleep goal but confuse myself when I track my binge free count at the end of the night before. So if my numbers are all over the places that's probably why. I'll get this figured out... sometimes it's the simplest things that confuse us. :)

    Meg, you picked a real good goal for you about staying in touch with MFP during the weekend. I bet it will really help you out.

    Paulette, you have some nice goals. Glad you were close last week. Keep striving and you can meet all your goals. You've done it in the past and you CAN do it again.

    Seehe (sorry, I don't know your name), you are really going through a rough time of it. Just try to hang in there mentally as best as you can and remember to do somethings that you find relaxing.

    Hearts, you are doing real well with your binge eating goal. That's challenging thing to deal with too. Hope your knee gets to feeling better.

    I'm real glad to be with yaull this week. I've been back to MFP since the very end of January, but, I had to get mentally ready to be part of this group again. I'm there.

    For this week, I"m going to be concentrating on:
    1) Trying to be more "creative" in finding ways to cope with stress and re-thinking and trying to remember some things that have helped me in the past with this. This is my main focus, and rightfully so, should be my main goal every day, every week, ...all the time in my life. I have a whole lot of things I'm diagnosed with that are exasperated by stress. Everyone's stress comes from different sources.
    2) Log my food and drinks all week long. There are 21 days left in this month and I'm going for a 21 day streak of logging my food and drinks. Only once have I gone 20 something days in a row with my logging.
    3) Try to keep learning ways I can still exercise at the gym with all my injuries that keep flairing up and causing me to just be at home, and sitting in my chair.
    4) Keep riding the city bus. I've worked up to walking 5 minutes at a time to and from bus stops. I can now do 4 or 5 bus stops in a day's time, which is excellent for me and my back. :wink:

    Hi All checking in, I hadn't been able to use my computer at home after work all week. Then today, I realized I can check in using the app on my phone - that is a cool feature!

    So here is my update:
    1 ~ Do not snack after dinner. ~I haven't felt hungry after dinner and before bed all week. I have wanted to eat everything in site a couple of times. When that happened I got a glass of water and sat down with my book.
    2 ~ Workout M,W,Th,F,Sa ~ I have been doing a lot of walking. This goal is half met, as my workouts are not the kind I wanted to do in the gym. But hey, I'll take it as long as I'm moving :)
    3 ~ Log everything ~ this can say, I have not missed a meal/snack!

    forestrose910 - thanks for the snack idea. I have fruits and veggies that I love at home for snacks. The main issue is when I start with those, I end up spiraling. If I am truly hungry after I have a had a glass of water and waited for a little bit to make sure, then I will eat a snack.
