Mini Goal Challenge Week of Aug 7th to 13th

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! :)

    After I failed last week I am using this quote to push me through this one. I am starting late because of migraine yesterday...

    1) Log everything
    2) Allow yourself 1 snack or meal (?) you would see as a treat every day.
    3) Work out at the gym 3 times this week, maybe try to squeeze in a fourth workout at home.

    How's everyone doing on their goals so far? Summer has a way of making everything a bit easier, so I am trotting along just fine. For example, I was able to meditate outside this morning by the lake; it was wonderful. That can't happen in the winter here, that's for sure!

    Here's my check-in so far
    1) Track and be green (1/6)
    2) Meditate in the morning (2/6)
    3) No alcohol on 3 weekdays (1/3) - slept like a baby too.
    4) Add a new weekly workout (0/1) - I did do a strength training workout, but I'm looking to add a class so won't count it.

    Hello y'all. Sad to report that me weight in the last week has gone up not down but I'm not that surprised because we went out of town for a family wedding. I had to eat out Friday-Monday.

    My goals this week:

    1. Loose weight gained
    2. Increase speed on treadmill
    3. Work out minimum of 3 days

    Here goes to a successful week this time around.

    Probably sodium gain for sure. I would not sweat it at all. Just keep the course and next week should be good. I think you still had a great week because it could have been much worse if you had not been tracking at all. Keep up the good work! :wink:

    Failure is giving up, so since you did not give up you did not fail last week :wink:
    Beating ourselves up over slips or inconsistencies are not helpful to us. Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like you would a friend who had a bad week. Would you tell them they failed? Probably not. We all stumble, but the key is getting back up and in the saddle and you did that today. Cheers to a better week this week! Consistency not perfection.... :smile: So good to see you back! Hope you migraine is better today too..

    I found this group through another post. I love it. I've recently restarted my journey to a healthier me and this is something I think I need and would benefit from.

    Goals this week:

    1. Keep cutting back on my grazing. If I choose to eat it. I need to portion it out.
    2. Try 1 new healthy sweet treat recipe. (For myself and my kids)
    3. 2 Zombie Run missions. (2 treadmill days)
