Is anyone else here doing the Workout Warriors' "Set 3 Goals for the week" thing?

I am. Here are my goals for this week:

1. Lose 2 lbs this week
2. Hit 10K at 4 days this week
3. Log food at least 4 days this week

I did not join the challenge, but here are my goals, they are the same goals every week..

1 Make my calories goal.. Average daily deficit 500 to 1000.
2 Move calories > 400 per day on Apple Watch
3 No alcohol
4 Close stand ring on Apple Watch, at least 12 hours.

Most weeks something keeps me from making move goal every day, but I’m pretty consistent these days with others.

I also have 3 month Smart goals. First two are more outcome, 3rd is more process.

1. Get to 155 pounds
2. Lose 1 inch off waist.
3. 120 mins per week on average HIIT.

I’ll make the first 2. Think the third is unrealistic right now.

I agree that 120 minutes per week for HIIT is unrealistic - if you're really doing the high intensity, 12-15 minutes per workout is plenty to start with, 6 days a week. Even less than that can be effective, and it is doable. @BMcC9 has been doing 5 minute sessions and it seems to be helping, so you should revise that goal to make it attainable. The others are great!

Regret upping my green challenge looks like a gain this week but Friday will reveal all.

Yesterday was a much better day. I hit my calorie and carb goals. I was able to get all my steps in, as well.. Just taking this one day at a time.

Well done @offitgoes and @leni1us !

I just took one of @Navydaddjtc 's recommendations and used an album from Fearless Motivation (Headphones On World Off) to kick my workout into gear. I am usually not a huge fan of the there-must-be-pain images, but these tunes are really inspiring and I must say, got me thinking about more than just my workout. I listened to it free on spotify, but it's available anywhere if you need some help sticking with it, living the commitments, and just having a great beat to do those reps, steps, or pedalling. Check it out!

will do!

Overall impression of progress on Meeting-daily-markers-for-my-week-long-goals so far ....

Logged food Mon and Tues (pre-logged most of today including most-likely supper)

- Monday was over Maintenance for intake BUT didn't eat back 368 calories worth of total available exercise and Fitbit adjustment calories I COULD have - Steps posted. Showed nice drop on Tuesday morning weigh-in.

- Tuesday was UNDER Maintenance for intake, even BEFORE allowing for lots of available exercise and Fitbit adjustment calories I COULD have eaten, but didn't. Inner edge of knee was sore (not bruised or swollen, don't know why unless because of lots of (short-segment) biking on the weekend when I hadn't done any biking at all for so long - topped off by mega-step-count on Monday). So I only had the one 5-minute bike session before work, and an hour on the mini-trampoline so still a very respectable step count of over 18,000 by bed time. I will post the exact number from home; I can't "look back" for step counts without the dashboard display on my tablet. Showed another very nice drop for this morning's weigh-in as well.

- Didn't do 5-minute bike this morning; knee was fine when I got up but starting to feel it by lunchtime. So may have to rethink this degree of biking thing, especially now that I am back to also doing stepping more like I used to. Step count is respectable for a workday so far.

I am not sure I will end up at my original Green Goal target (given the post-last-Friday lazy-weekend spike that is currently correcting ... so MORE than 2 pounds still to go .... ) but I will leave the recorded goal as is, and just see where a Monday-to-Friday of PROPERLY logging / eating / exercising leaves me.

I've kind of been doing it quietly - I set four for each day this week:

1. Walk every day (inside or out) for at least 10-15 minutes.
(Yesterday 45m, today 52m)
2. Drink at least 4 cups of water per day.
(Achieved yesterday, on track for today.)
3. Stay under maintenance calories, try for a deficit.
(I've been struggling with staying under maintenance. Yesterday I finished just a few calories over my deficit goal, today hopefully I'll succeed as well. I'm not adding exercise calories from my walks as that will just tempt me to eat more, but I'll have an extra snack if I really need something.)
4. Self-care - do something fun (not "useful") every day.
(Achieved on both days so far. )

Walking and fun stuff done, on track with water and calories today too. (And my weight has been down a little... I'm hoping it holds (or drops more) until the weekend and doesn't go up again before my weigh in! )

@jugar I looked at the spreadsheets for the first time today, and noticed that I'm down as "NWI" for the first week, July 6. I did post on the 6th (161lbs), but it was at 10:52pm MDT so maybe counts as "late" as far as you're concerned? It wasn't "missed", though!

Thanks for checking! I had missed it - it is best if you put the weigh in right on top of the message, with no quote or prefatory remarks. What I do on tally mornings is search for any I did not have the night before by "author", and they appear as a list. So if the weigh-in is not right on top of the message, sometimes I think it is just a "normal" message. Sorry about that! In any case, unless you have 2 NWI in a row and no general posting at all, you would not be dropped. But I have fixed it up in any case. Not a blemish on your record!

Fair enough, and thank you! I'll try to remember the format next time.

Steps 7/23~10,408
7/24~10,950

Not sure what the scale will say tomorrow. I had some good days and some not so good days this week. I'm starting a new exercise class on Monday. That should help focus me and get the needle moving in the right direction.

Bah... my weight was down yesterday, and it's back up today! On the plus side, I've been managing a small deficit for the most part so I hope the scale might reward me come weigh-in day...

HEADS UP! Friday crazy big weigh-in day:
