    Here's hoping that posting this will help me to stick to my goals!
    1. Record everything I eat, every day.
    2. Workout before I go to work in the morning (I'll never get it done if I say I'll do it after work)
    3. No eating after 7pm.
    4. Go to bed on time, so I can get up in time to workout . (Kind of goes with #2)
    :happy:

    this is so good, I remember doing things like this long ago. now the older I get the more I gain and the more big picture i'm looking at - instead of I'm gonna lose 1/2 pound next week, its - I've gotta lose 50 pounds by such and such a date. Thanks for reminding me of the mini challenges.

    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!

    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!
