I'm in!
Mini-goals
1. Do the 30 Day Shred 6 days
2. Drink 6 glasses of water or crystal light each day
3. Stick to within my calorie goal all week until I go out of town and eat as well as possible when I'm away.0 -
WOW! So many new mini-challengers already! Welcome everyone:flowerforyou: & good luck on all of your goals!:drinker:
New goals for the week (Mon-Sun):
1) Three Zumba workouts
2) Three Elliptical workouts
3) One yoga workout
I've gotten fairly consistent with meeting my food goals, and this Friday is my birthday, so I'm totally planning to go over that day on pretty much whatever I want, so I don't want to make any restrictive food goals this week. I'm going to focus on exercise instead. The cold weather makes me want to hibernate under a comforter and sleep til spring, so I think exercise goals are just the thing I need to keep me moving.
I'll check in later tonight to close out my goals for last week. Thank you MAK for starting the new thread!0 -
I think I'll join in!
Mini Goals
1. Drink at least 80 oz of water.
2. Workout 5 mornings this week.
3. Stick to my carb limits at least 3 days - this will be the hard one!
Good luck everyone!0 -
This is a great idea, and I am definitely in need of this as I have been falling off the wagon lately with my own weekly challenges. I think some accountability and motivation from here can help (hopefully). I am tired of being upset and miserable with myself!!!
1) Choose something you know you can do easily.
2) Add more difficult tasks to your plan.
3) These small steps will get you started, motivated & help build routine for long term success!!
1). Workout 6x/week (working out has always been the easier task), RIGHT AFTER WORK
2). Stick to my nutrition plan and avoid emotional eating habits (this is what I have been struggling with lately and the thing that prevents me from seeing results)
3). Drink at least 3 L of water (another challenging one for me).
4). Oh, I have to add sleeping BEFORE 11 PM (this is what sabotaged my success last week--being tired is a trigger for emotional eating for me!)
4). Reporting my experiences here
Alright, the challenge is on!! I will work on reporting in everyday this week. Good luck to all, and feel free to friend me!0 -
My mini-goals for this week are:
1. Log in everything I eat .
2. Exercise 5 days
3. 30 DS finish level 2 and start level 3
4. Eat more fruit and vegetables
5. go out for a walk if weather is good0 -
1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
2. Work out a minimum of 3 days this week!
3. No late night snacking0 -
My goals are mostly a repeat of last week's:
Chalean, six times this week: abs count as .5
3 fruits/veggies: I'm still not even close for this becoming a habit
Protein higher than fat: For whatever reason I'm struggling, I am going to be all over with calories however, as I'm trying to find a nice balance to maintenance.
Don't let my anyone drag down my eating habits: need this to become a habit if I'm to ever stay healthy and fit.0 -
Oh I want in! Okay this will be my first challenge... more so of "get back on track" ^_^
1) Log everyday
2) Workout 4 times a week
3) Stay away for sodas/sweets
4) Lose 1 pound?
Yay!0 -

My goals are mostly a repeat of last week's:
Chalean, six times this week: (last week I accomplished this at least)
3 fruits/veggies: (about half the time last week) no, only 2
Protein higher than fat: (failed as a week, it looked like when I first started MFP) whew, way over in calories! But anyhow, not even close to this tonight. Tomorrow I need to refocus.
Don't let my anyone drag down my eating habits: (accomplished more than failed last week, but not even close to a habit) failed all day at this, I blame my husband (cause I'd hate to blame myself of course
)
Welcome all new mini goalers!
Love all the continuing ones, thank you for your outstanding support!
I need to get my head in the game, last week after a fender bender, I just quit for a few days. It's that kind of pattern that will keep me from being healthy and fit. And now I'm at the part which I dreaded (and am excited about): maintenance. This is where I very slowly start putting on the weight in the past, and I want to be good.0 -
Plan to keep my goals the same this week.
Finally remembered to get a box of Puffs Plus Sat. a.m. ugh! But every time I've used one since has been worth the wait.
I do hope I near the end of the flu soon as it's quite distracting to eating healthy, just plain eating and keeping regular hours. No appetite runs into appetite but no smell so nothing sounds good ...and wow, can't believe how hard it is to get the water down while not feeling well! The most important time of all and I do love my water but seems getting a bottle down is not easy.
So off to a new week for me! Not much to log about for today, was consciously eating but nothing had any taste so it was quite strange. Took the day off from working out, need to refuel my focus and restart my goal to continue to succeed!! I've missed you all in the last few days, seems I couldn't even make it on to check off #4.:blushing: :sick: But back now and I'll make it work even on days I'm still on the mend, it means a lot to me to see you all and check in on how everyone is doing!:smooched:
Goals for this week (11/6-11/12)
1 - Be more aware of my food choices & keep my water intake up
2 - Workout 4-5 days each week
3 - STAY FOCUSED on the benefits of what making healthier changes is doing for me!
4 - Check in EVERY DAY no matter what type of day I've had!
NEW WEEK = Party Time!!
OOPS!! Wait that was supposed to be balloons!:blushing: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile: Made ya smile, huh? huh? I thought so!:flowerforyou:

Melainemelaine – Yes let’s do this indeed! Great mini goals. Good luck with zig zagging calories.
Mpontorno - Welcome. Looks like we have a couple very similar goals!! AM workouts can be tough, but I’m in the same boat, if I don’t get them done in the morning, I can sometimes have trouble getting them done after work.
Brahma22 – Welcome! Really like your goal #3, something I know a lot of us need to remember. Good luck this week.
TOBUNNZYE – Oh yeah sometimes we all get over whelmed thinking about the end goal. Hope the mini goals help you out. Take things one day at a time, one week at a time.
Aflaherty – Another 30 day shredder! I finished last Sunday. I ended up really liking level 3! Good luck with your out of town traveling and making good choices while you are gone.
Philosohoe – It is a workout week for you isn’t it. You’ve been doing so great, even though you don’t have any food goals, I know you still will do great.
Jenna – YAY!! So glad you’ve joined for the week. Fellow mini goalers I’d like you all to meet my MFP pal who kept me honest and sticking with my month of 30DS!! I couldn’t have done it without you!!! Great goals, good luck with the carb limit, that is a tough one!
Jowans2004 – Thanks for the friend request! Know all about the emotional eating, it can be tough. Glad to hear you’re ready for the challenge
Jennyph2006 – Glad to see your back for another week! How do you like level 2? It was my least favorite.
Clarissa08 – Welcome to the thread. Good luck with your goals, especially the late night snacking, it’s a tough one… that’s why it’s one of my goals too :laugh:
Ittee – Welcome back for another fun week with the mini goalers Keep working on the fruits and veggies, I know you can make it part of your new healthier lifestyle. Good luck finding your balance. I’m with you time to get my head back in the game.
Aorosco0110 – Welcome back, I hope you are refreshed, refocused and ready to rock, which I know you will do Hope you have a fabulous focused week as well!!
KrisPage – Welcome back Kris Glad to see you’ve come back for another week of mini goals.
Hearts♥Desire – HAHAHAHA!! Loved your little smilies, too funny! Thanks for the smile. Glad to hear you got your box of puffs plus. Hope the nose is feeling better. It’s not fun when you eat and it doesn’t taste like anything it’s a very weird feeling. Good luck with your focus.
Sunday check in:
1. 6 am workouts of my choice – Didn’t get an am workout in, but I did get a work out in, which is the good news.
2. Be more aware of my food choices – Not so great today. Could have made better choices, but
3. Log all extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, and sips) – Did more recipe testing today, ate some cookies that didn’t get logged.
4. Water, water, water - more water less other beverages – not bad but not great.
5. No eating after 8:00 pm – check still full from dinner, so I should go looking for any late night snacks.
Weekends are still a bit of a struggle for me. But it’s a work in progress right! Good luck this week every one. We can do this!0 -
Me too please!!!!!!
This is my first week on MFP and I think a Mini challenge is a great idea.
My goals for the next week:
1. 30 Day Shred 6x this week
2. 64 oz of water daily
3. No snacking after supper (my achiles heal)
4. Lose 1 lb
We can do this, thank you for being here for me!0 -
I can do the food diary, the caloric restrictions & daily exercise but drinking 8 glasses of water a day is tough. Anyone have suggestions which might help me succeed at that? Thanks!0
-
