    Okay, it's time for me to get back on this thread.... I am battling a Failure Beast and I'm over-thinking and letting the bigger picture get to me. I need to get back into this thread (I used to be such a huge contributor)!!!!

    Thank you, danlyn for sending me the link -- do you remember when I was on here before??? I fell off of this mini-goal wagon and I desperately needed to get back on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    2. Keep up the water drinking.
    3. Still get my exercise in. Keep trying turbofire along with my classes while waiting on my weights to come in.

    I would like to join :o)

    My week starts on Monday

    My goals are to
    1) work out every day for 60 minutes straight (only little breathers in between routines)
    2) not eat after 7pm every night
    3) cut out carbs by at least 20% (I have way to many carbs in a day right now)

    Thanks for doing this! I had a horrible week last week (gained 2.3lbs) and need some help trying to get my body to do what it needs to do!

    2. 3 non P90X workouts - I was hoping to go for a bike ride but my dog got hurt so my afternoon was spent trying to get him calmed down and taken care of.
    3. try a new food or recipe everyday - tried a new type of yogurt. Not my favorite but I've had worse.

    I'll play.

    Eat more green veggies. Let's say, at least 3 cups a day.

    Other than that, just keep doing what I've been doing.

    Greetings to all my old friends and all of you new folks that have joined up on this great thread! balloons.gifYou'll find nothing but support and positivity around here!

    Week of Aug. 15th - Aug. 21st
    Monday - Sunday

    My mini goals for the week:

    eat healthy
    track it on my food diary
    get in at least 3-4 solid cardio workouts & add a strength day this week
    get in plenty of water before and after my workouts
    quit beating myself up for not doing everything perfect in life...

    Some I kept the same, some I changed up a bit from last week. It helps me so much to really get a new habit incorporated by keeping some of my goals the same for a few weeks. It seems to build strength of commitment for me that way.

    Thanks to Dee for beginning the whole Mini -Goals thread and for MAK and others for keeping it up and running, you all are the best!

    I wish everyone the best week ever and sending you all hugs for your goals and for being part of this! grouphugg.gif Strength in numbers, right?

    Night All, off to bed. 90.gif

    I love the idea of small goals! Here is my 1st week goal-

    1. No eating after dinner!!

    This is huge for me...i eat so healthy and consciously all day, then after supper I eat anything and everything I want. It's not a hunger thing at all, it's just a self control thing!. So I am just going to set that goal first, then set my others as I conquer this one!

    KrisPage nice to see you again! I think checking in a few times a week and getting in three work outs are excellent goals to get you back into the swing of things!

    Hearts♥Desire welcome back. Great goals for this week. I really agree keeping some of the goals is a great way to go helps make these mini goals part of your routine. Strength in numbers indeed, we can do this together!

    1st off--Thanks to MissDee for starting such an awesome group and mentoring the wonderfulness that is MAK and LadyGloria to carry the torch. Prayers are with you MissDee!

    My week runs Mon-Sun because it's easier for me to start the day right when I have to get up early and go to work anyway. To finish my 3rd week, here's my Sunday night recap:
    1) logged everything
    2) checked in to the group (so cool to see so many new people jumping in!)
    3) better choice for the day--no dessert with dinner because it would have pushed me over goal calories
    4) sodium no more than 200 over goal--nope on this one. Sodium went way high today because I had too much cheese with dinner. I'm going to keep this goal for the new week.

    New goals for 8/15-8/21:
    1) Keep logging everything honestly
    2) Keep sodium down (no more than 200mg over goal)
    3) Don't eat exercise calories that would take my actual food consumption above 1600 (1400 is my goal before exercise) I've already started the tendency to use exercise calories as an excuse to eat more food than I know that I need, so I want to nip that in the bud before it becomes a bad habit.

    Here's to an awesome week for all! The support here is making a huge difference in my journey, so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
