Hey Y'all, just joined a day or two ago, but I'm going to join this thread even if I'm late to the party:)
Goals:
1. stay within calorie budget
2. log everything I eat
3. walk at least 30 minutes a day.
OK. Better post now, since I'm sure the Gremlins will get me if I try for more goals than these. Cheers!

After doing the weekly goals last month, I thought I would raise the bar and try to set up a daily goal thread to help us stay on track. I borrowed this idea from Mike (HappyTrails7) and a thread we joined last month that went after late night snacking and it really helped me.

Here is how it will work:

You set what you feel are attainable daily goals you think you can do everyday. For example, exercise commitments, calorie settings, snacking rules, etc. It's up to you.

We go by the formula:
Me: "number indicating how many days you stuck to it"
Gremlins: "number of times the gremlins got me"

Example:
Me: 2
Gremlins: 0
indicates I won the first two nights.

Some people also add a * to the latest number. In the example, that would be
Me: 2 - Gremlins: 1*
if Gremlins won the 3rd night.

You can also add a line after your daily score sharing some of your tricks and rules to help everyone.

You can just start your count on your first full day after you join the group. I am starting tomorrow for May 1. This thread will be continuous and won't have an end date so you can do it for as long as it helps.

It's as simple as that. I'll post first so you can follow my lead.

Welcome! And don't let the Gremlins get you!
