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!

Accomplished today: A pre-Christmas kind of day for nutrition. Bought smaller jeans! Threw out an old pair, plus a few other clothing items that are too big and not in good enough condition to donate. Threw away a stray mini candy cane I found in the kitchen instead of eating it. Prepped breakfast & lunch for tomorrow, pre-logged the day.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm here today hoping I can come back most days. Love this setup so much that I didn't really bother with New Year's resolutions. Weekly goal setting makes so much more sense.
I'm in Florida right now, trying to take a break from the Canadian winter, but it followed me down. I have to come back and write out my goals and catch up with what everyone is up to, but I popped in here to publicly confirm my commitment. I'm set with internet now so no excuses! 3 -
@goldthistime - Have a great weekend Sweetie!! I been stopped new year resolutions since I never kept them anyways. I take on day or week or goal at a time.
It has been a rather quiet week. Have a great weekend Everyone and keep mindful of those healthy goals

I feel like I'm back in my routine for eating. I realized, even when I had some days when I overate in Dec, I still had my planned breakfast and always packed my lunch. That used to be a huge stumbling block for me and now it's automatic.
@IsMollyReallyHungry Thanks for the shout-out. Good job on your blue dot days!
@goldthistime Nice to see you!1 -
Thanks for the welcome back
@IsMollyReallyHungry So what IS your game plan for the weekend? Inquiring minds...
@cjsacto Automatic is always my goal. Well done.
1) Eat fish 2x/week
2) 10,000 steps 7x/week
3) Floss daily (7x)
4) Eat with others daily (7x/week)
5) Exercise daily
6) Eat 5 servings of fruits & veggies/day
I'm pretty close to automatic on the last two.2 -
Hi everyone! Doing all right - next week things will pretty much be back to normal.
Didn't make it to all of my strength classes, but I did go to the gym yesterday. Also, we went to the used bookstore and I got a bunch of movies!
We're watching Short Circuit tonight.
Took a ballroom dancing class. Went to a beading workshop. I'm threading a necklace. It's kind of tedious, but in a relaxing way I spent way more than was necessary on more beads, though. 2 -

@goldthistime Good goals. Do you find eating with others makes a difference?
@clicketykeys Busy as always!1 -
Great checking in Everyone!
@goldthistime - I really did not have one this weekend but I did good yesterday and tomorrow I will be cooking at home so that will be a good weekend. It had to be sort of since I ate poorly Thursday and Friday and I weigh in Monday In December I was having a hard time on weekends but have gotten back on track with them. I will leave it on my list since I know I can blow my whole week on the weekend if not careful and this month I have some very loaded weekends.

@clicketykeys Hope your beading works out. Are we talking about jewellery or a decorative piece? Enjoy Short Circuit! I still remember when that movie came out.
@cjsacto You are inspiringly dedicated. I see your weight loss progress has continued. Well done. As to eating with others, it's not that it helps me lose weight. In fact, I found it easier to eating when I was hungry rather than waiting for others. But socially I want to "break bread" with others. I should be eating with my husband and daughter(s) whenever they are around, even if it means waiting to eat. It's a habit I want to re-establish.
@IsMollyReallyHungry First let me say once again how grateful I am to you for keeping this group going. It's meaningful to me. Wrt eating back your deficit on weekends, I've done the same many times. You're in good company.
Yesterday and today were great days. I met all my goals. Tonight I pick up my daughter and grandson from the airport and the real challenge begins. I find that when my grandson is around there is no thought of "me". It may sounds admiringly altruistic, but it's silly really. There are two other adults around to help care for him, I should be able to sneak out and get my exercise at some point every day, and there is no excuse not to eat well.1
