MEAT Me at the Beach: 8/4-8/7 weigh-in *MINI-GOAL time!*

How much to you need to lose to get to your mini-goal?.................... 1. 2 pounds.
Is it possible for you to do it? (change you goal if you need to) ........ yes!! I will do this.
How are you going to do it? ..................................................................... I want to get back to making some fresh juice, eating more breakfast since I don't always to it. I sweat and am out of breathe while doing housework or playing/running around with the kids and I don't log this in, I figure this is life and not "an exercise". I only log in zumba, hot yoga or running/jogging but I'm gonna try to do 1 of those 3 everday, even if I am dead tired from playing with the kids.

8/4: <<<mini goal weight ___>>> 145.8 = 4 pounds I need to lose by the end of this week = .8 pounds a day. Is it feasible…maybe but not most likely. I’m aiming to be at 147.8 and if I’m really dedicated this week maybe 146.8. We will see. I have 30 days left in the challenge for myself to get down, which means at least .26 pounds a day for the next 30 days. I will weigh in Sunday morning to give myself a little more time to see if I can make it. . Good Luck to all.

My Goal this week will to drink as least 12-16 glasses of water a day, watch sodium intake, and exercise at least 4-6 times this week.

Thanks VIC for an awesome job you do on the charts and all the hard work you do for all of us. You’re an inspiration to all.

How much to you need to lose to get to your mini-goal? 9.2, changing to only be a loss of 3.2
Is it possible for you to do it? (change your goal if you need to) Nope, not the original one, but the new one yes!
How are you going to do it? Gonna change it & work my butt off! I caught some kind of bug or my body is reacting to the difference between the dry heat in Vegas & the humidity here in Ottawa who knows it's just making it hard to breath so I'm not going to continue to do my C25K until Next week. But I'm still gonna do as much else as possible, did elliptical, stationary bike & swam today.

I have decided to change my goals abit, not gonna make it to Onederland by the end of Summer as I would have liked but even in the 20_ Should be good! No more vacations for me for awhile.

Hmmmm, I don't think I'm going to make my mini-goal, I seem to be pretty stuck around 73/74, whereas I'd like to be at 72.
I suspected it would get harder for the last few kg and here it is Think I need to change my mini-goal and set a more realistic end goal. So, let's think about this:

How much to you need to lose to get to your mini-goal?
- 1.3 - 1.5 kg in 5 days.

Is it possible for you to do it? (change you goal if you need to)
- Nope. I'm going to change my mini goal to 73kg and my end goal to 72. That means about 1/4 kg or 1/2 pound a week. I should be able to do that!

How are you going to do it?
- I've changed my settings to lose 1/2 pound a week so I'm going to try eating 1600 net cals, just have to make an effort to do it with healthy food. Not so easy as I'm pretty stressed at the moment, and very prone to snaffling bags of sweets at such times. -- But, I need to come up with some better strategies for dealing with those stress moments. Maybe I'll stop at the supermarket and stock up on a new selection of herbal teas then I have something fragrant and relaxing for when I'm craving sweet stuff.

Any suggestions for me for herbal teas? - anything but peppermint/spearmint, that just tastes like toothpaste to me and makes me gag.

How much to you need to lose to get to your mini-goal?
>I'm at 173 today (was 175.2 last official weigh in), but my regular weigh in is on Thursdays so I'd need to lose three pounds by tomorrow…

Is it possible for you to do it? (change you goal if you need to)
>Probably not going to make it, but I don't want to change my goal. I think a goal is there for you to have something to strive for. If you just changed it everytime it was difficult to reach you'd never get anywhere.

How are you going to do it?
>I'm going to be extra careful with my water and sodium intake today. Tom is just a few days away and I don’t want him to ruin my weigh in.

********** It’s that that time again….MINI-GOALS!!!! *********
