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

    Hello Mini Goalers and Happy Monday,
    I am done with our conference and hopefully finished with my illness that I had starting Friday through yesterday. just a bug of some kind but it really wiped me out. Hopefully I will be able to be more active and supportive this week. I did read all the posts from last week and know that we are all making some good choices and also need to continue to push ourselves ahead.

    Hearts- thanks so much for your starting out the week and for the inspirational quotes and pictures. thanks for all of your active support to each of us. Keep up the great work you have been doing for yourself. have an awesome and successful week.

    Lostit- good goals. good luck this week. you can do this.

    not doing any goals this week. taking the time to figure out where I want to focus for next week and beyond. I will check in daily.

    Hearts--I love the beautiful sunset and it's saying. Good for you for sticking with your no binge.

    Lost--that's nice--a chocolate goal. That's a good one.

    Paulette, sorry you got sick. That's smart of you to take the appropriate time to think and really determine your focus.

    Monday/Tues Check-in


    Day 2 Binge Free!
    sleep - no clue what's happening to my sleep, I woke every single hour and the very same time each hour. Crazy right? Went to be by 11pm or maybe 10:40 I can't recall.

    I have now doubled my Melatonin and the results were what happened last night. Sort of at my wits end on why I can't get to sleep and stay asleep.

    Day 1 and Day 2 were rough getting started again but I did it!! and for that I'm proud.

    xo Hugs to each of you xo

    Hearts- great job with no binging! Sorry to hear about your wakings last night. Hope you get a more restful nights sleep tonight.

    Lost it - great progress!

    Wednesday check in:
    Was doing well yesterday staying away from sugar until I caved and ate a large cookie one of my tutoring students brought me. I think I need to prepare a healthy snack for the late afternoon /early evening tutoring each day so I am not tempted by all the unhealthy food my students bring!

    Weds Check-in


    Day 0 Binge Free! Struggled today...Day 1 begins in the a.m. :)
    sleep - no clue what's happening to my sleep, I woke every single hour and the very same time each hour. Same thing happened last night!!
    Crazy right? Went to be by 10:27 I believe.

    All I can think of is there must be an Alien Mother ship coming down every hour to do sorted experiments on me to see if I can handle them every hour without sleep! I felt far more rested this morning than of late but wold still LOVE to get back to a good sleep pattern! I've now doubled my Melatonin and am at 10mg. I used to only take 2mg. But it think that brand was time released maybe I need to go back to that brand and give these up... Melatonin can sometimes cause sleep issues...and I think this brand might be causing them for me.

    From what I understand we all lose our natural Melatonin as we age and particularly Women lose more as our Estrogen level drops. I just recently learned this... found it fascinating...

    Food has been a bit of an issue yesterday and today.. quite possibly unsettling sleep has a bit to do with it?

    I need to get back on the healthy choices wagon as I think more clearly and feel far more healthy and energetic when I do. :)

    Mak- today is a new day indeed - hope it goes well for you :)

    Hearts- I hear you on the sleep issues. From what I have been told, Melatonin may work on occasion , but it can loose its positive effects if it is taken regularly. Have you tried meditation? I sure hope you are able to get a good nights rest tonight.

    I am taking one day at a time and am happy to report I had a successful day yesterday making healthy food choices and staying in the green.

    Susan,
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge about Melatonin, I suppose it makes sense, every other drug substance acts that way in time. I would love to get back to meditation... it's been quite awhile since I have.

    Last night I was in bed by 9:20pm and I sleep quiet well and was rested this morning.. I know I still woke up a bit but it was a restful sleep.

    Thanks for the reminder!

    Forest has been so wonderful over the years of reminding me I don't have to be perfect... it helps when I remember that. ;)

    Happy Saturday ladies, the week has gone by quickly I believe I will get back to basics and start either Monday or Tuesday whichever day I can shop and prep.

    Hearts- it is progress and not perfection. Make as many good decisions as you can and keep moving forward.

    Susan- keep it going with the walking and move past the calories. You are so aware of your choices and that will serve you well.

    Mak- good job with the DVD and checking in. Keep moving ahead. You are on the right track.

    Lost it -hope your week is going well

    Amy- how was the gym this week. I hope you are doing well.
