What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

My mini-goal is to treat my anxiety and depression through healthy eating and physical fitness rather than prescriptions, food, and alcohol.

See my weight start with the number 1 for the first time since high school!!

MINI GOAL #1: Lose 10 pounds and 2-4 inches in four weeks!! (7/25 - 8/14)
HOW: 3 days/week resistance, stretching, HIIT and 20-25g net carbs and 8-10K steps daily.

This is a challenge. Working from home, my step count has become terrible. Going to Keto after a mostly HCHP diet - both diet and exercise are pushing me out of my comfort zone. Recently diagnosed pre-diabetic (wake-up call!), not only have I apparently been Insulin Resistant ~ I've also been KETO resistant a long time too - saying crazy stuff like there's NO WAY I could live like that! Friends, I've got a whole new perspective on the subject and starting Dr. Bergs beginner Keto/IF guide today.

Upping my water intake. We got a new fancy smart scale that takes aaaaalll the measurements so I figure it’s one easy thing I can control and track.

I am focusing on: daily prep before bed for the next days meal plan - planning food only 2 days in advance. adding exercise where I can. Also same as above not succumbing to munchies with Husband at night!

Four months ago I broke my femur and dislodged my knee. So my mini goal right now is just being able to walk normal again. I've been working hard at that. First with a full leg brace, lots of calcium and protein, a sturdy walker and a great physical therapist. Then I added a cane that was used for small excursions, like from the bed to the bathroom. Then about a month ago my walker was folded up and the cane used exclusively. Now, four months into rehab, I am walking without the cane, indoors only, and taking walks outside with the cane. I'm making progress with a diligent exercise program, aiming toward a cruise of the British Isles next year.

To hit the healthy BMI range (for me this is 65Kg). I have less than 4Kg to go!

My mother died 11 months ago and my emotional response included soothing myself with food, thus derailing all my healthy eating and weight loss efforts up to that point. I packed on a ton of weight! I badly want to get back on track and build my momentum eating healthy and exercising. My mini goal for my first week back on track is to drink my daily water and track my daily food.

I am 6-7 pounds (depending on the scale that day) from leaving the BMI Obese category and moving into Overweight. Not planning on staying there. Just going to visit on my way to Healthy.

losing the first 10lbs..thats my motivation/mini goal.. I want to approach this 10lbs at a time, overall my total goal is a loss of 48lbs

This is what I did. It was mentally much more manageable for me than staring down the entire weight loss goal at once. I used each 10 pounds to reflect on what was working, what wasn't working, and adjust my habits as needed.

Enjoy the process!

I have a weird mini-goal but it is quite motivating. I'm in a tap dance company. It is VERY body positive and body inclusive, so luckily that is not an issue, and has always been welcoming to dancers of any size. However, changing of sizing can cause costuming issues at times. Two months ago I was at a very thin point and I was assigned a costume for my favorite piece that was a REALLY small size. Everyone is wearing something different in the dance, so this is sort of a one-of-a-kind thing, but they're all supposed to coordinate. I'm supposed to perform this piece again in just over a month and I think they expect me to wear the same costume. I'm sure we can figure out a backup to fit the overall scheme if I can't fit into the pants and it's not like they'll cut me from the piece over that! (And no, there is not the same pair in a larger size--we'd just have to figure out something else altogether.) But everyone loved how I looked and danced in that particular costume, so it would be great to fit into it again for the next performance. I'm actually thankful for this because it gives me a deadline. I have lost that many inches in that amount of time in the past (and it's not like I gained THAT much given that this was only two months ago that I was that small), but I can't loll around and hope it works without really trying. As long as I log calories here I know I'll be fine. I probably need to lose 5 lbs (very reasonable for a 5-6 week period.)

I’m about to attend ( in six more weeks) an event with a lot of picture taking so I want to lose an extra 5 pounds from my normal ( post goal loss) right now. I’m down 2.5 pounds since the start of the month so im hoping to get there.
