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!

Goals for week of 10/9
1. Do 1 hour run/walk with the puppies in the morning
2. Stick to 21 day fix
3. Log all of my food in MFP
*I plan on going to bed with my clothes for walking on and my shoes/socks and leash handy. I managed to do 10-30 mins last week several days. I know that this is very important for me and the pups, I need to lose weight and they need the exercise since hubby has gone back to work he is not home all day to play with them anymore.
*I am starting my 21 day fix with my sister, again, and I hope to finish this round. I already meal prepped today so that I have some lunches handy for the week. It is just going to be so hard, with work functions but I will make it happen.
*To help with my 21 day fix and accountability I need to log all of my food. That way I can make sure I am sticking to the plan. .
Have a great week warriors!2 -

I'm so glad I found this! And what a wonderful idea!! I work nights and weekends, 12 hour shifts, so it's difficult to keep a schedule. But these mini goals are a great push.
My goals for this week:
1. 3 days of lifting at the gym
2. 10,000+ steps every day, including non-work days
3. Only weigh myself once, not until Sunday (I struggle with instant gratification that leads to frustration haha)
Monday-Sunday for me.3 -

Welcome to all the new members here. This is your forum and we try to support each other. checking in sometimes gives us an extra push to stay accountable.
Lananita- Welcome back. I hear you about needing to do this again. I have struggled and started over so many times in the last year or so. but finally about 6 weeks ago I just started logging my food and limiting my fats and I have seen success. I know you can too. great plan. keep it going.3 -
hello to everyone.
My goals for this week are:
1. workout 5 times this week
2. drink 2l of water everyday
3. don't eat bread and sweets3 -
Monday Check In:
1. Do 1 hour run/walk with the puppies in the morning: 1/7
2. Stick to 21 day fix: 1/7
3. Log all of my food in MFP: 1/7
I did not get up early enough to do an hour with the pups this morning but I did manage 30mins, and when I got home from work I did the whole hour. I did very well with my 21DF and logging all my food on MFP. I did not do the 21DF workout since I did a lot of walking. I feel great with my first day back.
We got this!!!2 -
Today i completed my two goals for Monday. Yay!5

Monday-Sunday for me.
I'm working nights for the next two weeks so it's really difficult to get my steps in- I sleep during the day and my shift is a little slower at night. But I made it just in time today with some extra effort going to the gym before work.3 -
Goals for week of 10/9:
.
1) No added sugars
2) 5 hours of exercise total. This will be hard.
3) 2L water per day
4) 5 servings of fruit and veggies daily
5) 7-9 hours of sleep
For 10/9, day 1/7:
-- No sugar: 1/7
-- Exercise: 15 min, interval running
-- Water: 1/7
-- Fruits & Vegetables: 0/7 Ate peas, corn, romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, orange, and cantelope but not full servings or enough to add up to 5.
-- Sleep: 1/7 Not sure when I feel asleep but I'm pretty sure at least 7. I'm going to start paying more attention.
Goals 2-5 are just minimum accepted recommendations for health, but not things I typically do. Adulting is tough.1 -

Sorry everyone. I fell off the wagon.
I had a really stressful conference two weeks ago and a very bad gastroenteritis last week. Now I am back at work, slowly recovering and still not eating enough but at least trying to eat and drink more again. I am currently not logging nor going to the gym, as I really need to focus on getting back into normal life first. I hope I will be able to be back next week. Take care everyone!3 -

This right here... I have an issue with it too. Trying to weigh myself only once or twice a week.

Tuesday Check In:
1. Do 1 hour run/walk with the puppies in the morning: 2/7
2. Stick to 21 day fix: 2/7
3. Log all of my food in MFP: 2/7
Again, I only did 30min in the morning with the pups but went to conformation training with them this evening for 1 hr and that was a lot of walking around the ring. So I am considering that goal met. I think for this week to keep myself on a positive note I will change the first goal to 30min in the morning. And I can shoot for the 1 hour next week.
Food and logging went well. Trying to log as soon as I eat so that I do not forget.

.
1) No added sugars
2) 5 hours of exercise total for the week.
3) 2L water per day
4) 5 servings of fruit and veggies daily
5) 7-9 hours of sleep
For 10/10, day 2/7:
-- No added sugar: 2/7

-- Water: 2/7
-- Fruits & Vegetables: 1/7 Had more fruit than veg today but met total 5 servings combined.

End of Tuesday Check-In:

2. 10,000 steps every day, including non-work days 2/7
3. Only weigh myself once, not until Sunday (I struggle with instant gratification that leads to frustration) 0/1
10k steps were a struggle tonight but I got them done. And I'm exhausted at work halfway through a 12 hour shift. The positive? I'm not hungry.

I am back from my camping trip in Algonquin Park. Photo of our campsite is below!
It is so great to be out in nature and we definitely cannot overeat since I planned every meal in advance to the last ounce + we canoed & portaged like crazy, so I lost a bit of weight and felt calm too.
Now it is about getting back into my hectic city routine!
This week my mini goals are:
1. 11,000 steps daily (I have a new fitbit blaze, which is very motivating but gigantic!)
2. Log everything, and stay in the green
3. One swim in the outdoor pool
Tues. 1. completed the steps. 2. did not log yet
