Tomorrow's goals:
Go Apple picking
Finish cleaning kitchen (I started today and felt great!)
And the goal for this month is clean up my basement junk room!! I promised myself and I will complete this task! It is totally out of control! Wish me luck!
Trying is the first step!
Apple picking sounds like fun

1st Time in a dicussion but i know this thread will motivate me to stick with my goals.
Myself: I am trying to lose 24 lbs by Christmas I started exercising and dieting 1 month ago the first 2 weeks were great and lost 2 lbs even though my eating habits could have been better. But the past 2 weeks I have been bad I cut my exercise to 1-2 times a week and gave in to my cheetos, cheesecake and ice cream.
Weight loss hx: In 2012 I lost 25 lbs but gained it back due to bad eating habits, pregnancy and surgery.
Goal weight: I'm a 5 1' female current weight 134 lbs goal weight 110.
Starting this weekend I will watch what i eat and consume no more than 1200 calories a day. I will admit my morning was not healthy but i'm done feeling this way.
Monday - Friday: Beginning Monday i will restart my 30 min cardio sessions at the gym during my lunch hour and continue going to the gym in the evening for weight exercises for 1 hour.
Update: Due to a busy schedule, full time job, mother of 2, and wife. I will only update my progress one time a week on Saturdays.
* wish me luck and i will not fail. Any advise is appreciated. Thank you3 -
Thursday Goal: Weights
Friday Goal: Hike in the hills
So I met these goals, but not in that order or within the time frame I set. I actually did the hike on Friday and weights on Saturday instead. Still meeting my protein goals daily
and getting my sleep schedule on track for the most part.
Sunday - swimming.

I wouldn't see it as beginning again (which sounds like starting over), but rather as getting back on track. You just happened to take a short break. No big deal. As long as you are generally heading in the right direction most of the time, you'll get there. You don't need to be perfect! 0 -

Welcome and good luck to you!
I've been here on MFP maintaining at my goal weight for about 5 years now. I mostly just have fitness and general health goals at this point. My personal strategy is to take things one day at a time (and to pay attention to each day - and track it - because when I don't, I WILL let things slide.) If I don't reflect each day I lose focus. If I let a day go, maybe that's OK, but then maybe then 2 days go by and then 3 and then...you get the idea. It's not that intense, either. I just set a goal - like doing 30 minutes on the treadmill. Come back later and say, "yup, I did it" or "oops, what do I need to do to make sure my goal happens tomorrow?" And I change my goals whenever I feel like it, too. Maybe I decided I didn't want to do treadmill after all, so I took my dog for a walk or rode my bike instead. No big deal. I'm not locked into anything. I'm totally flexible.
I like to keep a larger, over-arching goal in mind along the way. For example, my long term goal is to continue to maintain my goal weight and stay healthy. One of my current moderate term goals is to make it through fall and winter (a tough time for me - these darker, colder seasons sap my energy and I tend to hibernate if not careful.) To make it through this time, I know I need to make sure I keep my sleep schedule in line, I need to be purposefully physically active every day in some way, and I need to eat more protein and less sugar than I do in the "happier" months. So I just make sure that I make a goal or goals EVERY DAY that is related to these things, get it done, and then reevaluate. Not gonna meet every goal every time, but if I can do it most of the time, in the long-run, I achieve my larger goals this way. Bit by bit. Since I'm looking for long-term health, no single day screw-up is gonna break me. And all of these little daily wins give me constant successes that keep me motivated.
But that's just how I personally do things. Maybe someone else here has a winning strategy to share?0 -

I've used MFP before but never stuck with it. This time I am mentally ready to go for the long haul. I've found that logging any food right when I eat it helps keep me on track; sometimes I'm too lazy to open up the app and log my food so it helps stop mindless eating. It also helps me to think about what I'm eating throughout the day. If I wait to log everything at the end of the day theni don't have a chance to self correct during the day. I use this thread just as a way to write down my goals and know that someone else will be reading them. I don't do extreme goals, only things that I know could be achievable. I don't always achieve my goals but some days I do more than the goals. I have had some weight lost. However I'm also just wanting to be healthy and feel good about my body!
Good luck with your journey!

So I almost didn't go running but decided I should meet my goals of 3x this week. So I told myself that I would get on the treadmill and do just 10 minutes...but once I was there, I felt motivated and ended up doing 30minutes! I met my goal for 3/3 runs for the week and also was under for calories, even after having a dessert. Great way to end a week!
Shoutout to @jenilla1 for the comments that helped keep me in track!

I was planning on going mountain biking today but it was too hot (90's) so I opted for incline treadmill at the gym instead.
I need to get more fruit and vegetable servings. I'm usually pretty good about that, but the last few days I've been slacking off.0 -
My goal for today is drink 5 bottles of water and go for a 30 minute walk.2

My first goal for today was to go to a 7 am Body Pump class, which I did!
My second goal is to stay in my allotted calories today and not eat back my exercise cals with junk, as I've been struggling with that this week.
My last goal for today is to drink 8-9 cups of water.
Let's do this!!1 -

I ate back half of my exercise cals, and I only drank 6 cups of water. Still, I got close to both goals. I'll give it another go tomorrow!
