I just realized now that I totally forgot to post the mini goal last week, sorry guys.

This week my goals are:

1. Proper morning hydration
2. Post to this thread everyday
3. Log my food six days (But be mindful what I eat on my day off)
4. Get to the YMCA two times
5. Make my 10 thousand steps every day
6. Try and get some sun a few days this week (it helps my skin, and only have been out in it twice so far)
7. Go to bed by 10pm four nights this week
8. Manage my stress levels and try not to stress eat, be mindful of it

What are your goals this week??

    My goal this week is to keep active.
    I set my Jawbone Up to vibrate when I am sedentary for more than 30 minutes.
    Take the stairs daily; studies show people who walk up and down stairs regularly have lower bad cholesterol and more good cholesterol.
    Garden in the evening rather than sit and do paperwork.

    Have good Monday!

    Goals this week:
    1. Walk to work everyday
    2. Drink 4 bottles of water everyday
    3. Bring lunch to work everyday

    Hi: my co-worker texted me the morning and joined me during my morning walk to work. It was really nice to have someone with me.
    Low: my leg pain is horrible

    Last night, I made a banana, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. I had a ton of overripe bananas, so I mixed that with a bit of heavy whipping cream, chocolate PB2 and some chocolate I made. I added a bit of cinnamon as well. It was incredible. I also made baked chicken tenders with panko, and they were great in a wrap I made with Greek yogurt honey mustard, arugula and tomatoes.

    My high today was keeping on schedule; my low would have to be the cold weather. I still followed through with my goals, just didn't do as much as I would have if it wasn't 40 degrees out.

    Miss_Mania...love 30DShred! Enjoy those after workout endorphins!

    Joco - that sounds awesome!

    Todays High: got all my steps in between work and home so I did not have to go out in the heat and walk

    Low: Missed all the sun today being inside (trying to get a tan as it helps my psoriasis greatly)

    Hi- I'm pretty new to the forum, hope it's ok if I jump in...

    My goals for this week:

    1. Increase my daily step goal from 2,750 to 3,000 a day, and meet it for at least 5 days. (I have a muscle disease, and might need an unexpected day without activity. Meeting the goal for all 7 days is a bonus!)
    2. Start each day with at least 25 grams of protein at breakfast.
    3. Stop in here daily to check in

    Today's high- the 15 minutes of bright sun over lunch hour!
    Low- too many carbs in the morning, was hungry all day at work.

    Thanks!

    High - Running for the first time ever and actually not feeling like I was going to die lol.

    Low - I ate something processed too late in the day. I usually like to sleep on a light tummy

    Welcome Cheesy!!

    High: Went to the gym today in about a month, and did weights after walking for one hour on the treadmill, despite it being super later compared to when I would normally go. Got a really good work out in.

    Low: After a month home, I am not impressed with my daughter today and am still quite pissed off actually.....the first month went great, now I am gonna be counting down the weeks til she leaves for school >_<

    High: great walk this morning, and I'm leaving in a half hour for another walk
    Low: in general, I just feel really lethargic... though I guess this is a high, because I'm going out and doing it anyway.

    Way to go Italian! You made it to the gym!

    Miss_Mania, 8 minutes shaved off your previous time....awesome!

    High today was, well I'll be honest, the ice cream cone I got during my lunch break and ate sitting outside in the sun. Reminded me of when my parents would splurge and get us a DQ treat once in awhile (with 11 kids it did not happen often).

    Low was how tired I have been. Which is why I am off to bed now....

    A beautiful day today. It was an emotional day at work as we had to tell my students some of the staff won't be back next year and of other changes. Which leads to my high for the day: I prepared a healthy breakfast, snacks, and lunch for work and I made sure I was well rested. And I took a walk on my lunch break. And a coworker made me laugh so hard I cried at one point; laughter really is a blessing.

    The low: I decided to stay home this weekend and go into work to get end of the year paperwork done instead of camping.

    As for my weekly goal of staying active, I have exceeded my steps goal every day. I mowed, gardened, walked, cleaned house, moved furniture, took the stairs, and played tetherball among other things.
