    I would like to join this. I've started the 30 day shred twice now but I can't seem to keep it continuous. My goal for the week is to do it everyday. It's only 30 minutes. I CAN find time for this. Thanks MAK!

    1) Do 30 DS lvl 1 every day this week (Starting sun 8/14/11)
    Just want to stick with this one for the week since I've had so much trouble with it.

    Welcome Cenedria! Good luck on your goal. I know you can do this. Trying to find time in the day is always a goal for me. Feel free to post as little or as much as you would like.

    I like the idea of a mini challenge....it sounds more achievable.

    So here's mine.

    1. Only eat bread once this week (monday to sunday). I used to eat nearly a loaf a day and am on my 3rd week of cutting it out. It was hard at first trying to find replacement food but if I fancy some one day I eat it and it doesn't seem such a chore the rest of the week. This is now nearly a habit so not too much of a hardship.
    2. Do 30 day shred everyday. Had the dvd for 3 days and haven't started it yet (with no excuse) but tomorrow (monday) it's going on!

    Good luck everyone!

    Didn't want to fill up the whole first page with quotes, but I want to say hi to everyone who is going to join in for the mini goal challenge :)

    Welcome Coracia! Great goals. Sounds like you are going to be moving and grooving a lot this week! Good luck with Shred and Zumba.

    Hi Idahogirl71, welcome to the challenge. Good luck with no chocolate this week that would be a tough one for me!

    Welcome back Danlyn!! Hope you had fun on vacation. Happy to keep the thread going, I know it can be really helpful (I find it really helpful anyways, LOL!) Hopefully you can get back into your routine with no problems I know it can be tough after vacation.

    Welcome Bree2012! Good luck with your goals. Reducing sugar and sodium seems to pop up a lot as mini goals they can be tough to conquer but it’s not impossible. You CAN do it!
