A conservative one for this week for me - I will be trying to eat my meal-prepped food this week! I often forget to prioritize myself when doing meal prep and focus on my family's needs instead, but this time I tried building my meal prep in with theirs. It turned out good from the taste-tests I had, so I think this was successful. Now comes the hard part though, to not be tempted into other things!

Get below the 100 Kg line. I hope this week or the next. Then the next goal is 90 Kg by mid-year. Slow progress, making sure the good habits stick while improving my fitness. Once I get to 90 Kg I also have the goal to start running, since now I think it's gonna destroy my knees if I do it.

Let's go!

1. Tired of the weight I regained.
2. Tired of being out of shape.
3. Want to tap again into my potential with previous workouts
4. Want my kids to see their old man working hard and improving himself so that they grow up knowing that change can come with hard work and effort along with the importance of exercise
5. Mid 40s - I need to get my *kitten* in gear.
6. One life to live - make meaning and purposeful actions daily which incrementally improve your life.

Four months ago I was diagnosed with COPD. it's been a struggle and many around thought I was getting worse. I've had an active past. Weights, half marathon, running an orchard, firefighter, EMT, cop, kayaking, hiking, etc. Now I'm trying to walk for 15 minutes a day. IT'S FREAKING STRUGGLE! And it wipes me out. But my doc recently reset my perspective: It's not the time. It's not the distance. It's doing something 6 days a week. Whether is 10 minutes in the morning, 5 minutes in the afternoon or whatever, it's the consistency in daily activity that's important. That change of perspective has really helped! I did a 15 minute walk today. I can't wait for tomorrow to do another walk...who knows how long? Keep it up brothers and sisters! We can do this!

And Tara, I hope you get in those 8's soon!

My mini goal is to make monthly fitness goals.....really listen and work WITH my body, not on it....to determine what it needs. It may need something kind like walking or yoga....or it may feel strong and need weights or TRX. As long as I am present with the exercise...the goal is to keep physically active.

My size 10/M clothes are so comfortable to wear now. I can sit, walk for long periods, Squat....basically...do ALL the moves! Most importantly....it's my new normal. My old eating habits are completely foreign and I have had great success with the steady,slower approach. My next "mini goal" is size 8 in the Spring....March. Size 6 in the Summer...July. That's the smallest I have been and that was in 2020. Once I get there again, I may consider a Size 4. 😀

I knew I had posted this somewhere in here not that long ago!!! 😀 This is from just SIX weeks ago, November. I had reached my goal of getting back into my size 10 and M clothes. Still maintaining over the Christmas season.....I wore my beautiful burgundy cocktail dress in size 10 with a strapless bra.
My "mini goal" is to continue doing what has worked for me in 2023! A consistent, focused approach. My updated size goals are now Size 8 for June. Size 6 for November. Two more sizes this year! (I had comfortably worn a size 14 cocktail dress during festive season 2022).

stegeem · January 11

Get back on track!!!

HungryCatapilar24 · January 11

Completing this 8 week exercise programme and staying consistently active

VixRouth · January 11

I want to be a size 8 (on my bottom half) for my holiday later this year. I have never been a size 8 in my adult life (but then I have never been a size 10 either!) and I want to feel like good in a bikini!

Godisgood080721 · January 11

My mini goal is to increase my steps to 6,00 per day. I work a desk job and most days only get 2,000-3,000.

Smallc10 · January 11

I need new summer clothes and I would like them to be in the next size down! I'm very close!

Toronto6fan · January 11

Reducing my back pain!!

I highly recommend the book “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. I had debilitating back pain for years and this helped me fix it. Here’s an article about the book:

and the GoodReads page, with gazillions of reviews:

My mini goal is to be under 100kg have not weighed less than a 100 for about 7 years

cordalesmom · January 12

To get 7 pounds off by vacation time in May. I've been gaining and losing the same 7 pounds for over a month.

kurthess · January 13

This message is from 2015. Can you confirm if you made it into a size 8 as well? Were you able to maintain the size 8? I've been struggling with ups and downs in sizes. It's a battle to maintain one size.

Iseulte · January 14

My mini goal is to lose 8 pounds to get me firmly out of the obese category and into the overweight category.

My mini goal is to get back into the size 18 clothes I wore comfortably before medications put me in the size 22 category. So about 20lbs to lose I think

NotGvnUp_EJ · January 15

Mini goal: Be more transparent with myself and my diary by logging "everything" I eat, even on bad days.

stegeem · January 15

Stop giving up and stop cheating myself

takinitalloff · January 15

@stegeem and @NotGvnUp_EJ (and anyone else who wants more accountability): check out the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, and if you like what you see, come join us! (The group is set to private for the month, but you can still join.) We're a friendly and supportive group working on three daily goals together. I think this could be just what you need.

I second the Sarno recommendation. When I read it, I thought, "Um... yeah. Right." I happened to be on vacation visiting family. I had suffered back pain that was at time debilitating for decades. At some point I got up from the sofa and was pain free. I remained pain-free for many years, and only recently has a TINY bit come back. It's not very often. It's not debilitating. It doesn't last.

I went back to my physical therapist after I got back from vacation that time. I told her about my experience. She said, "Well, you've graduated then. You're free to go." She didn't even charge me for the visit. She didn't take my insurance, and they only reimbursed me for a part of her work, but she was good. She asked about the book, and I bought a copy for her.

I haven't read "The Divided Mind," but I have a copy around here somewhere.
