Hi! I've been trying to get myself more and more motivated to eat healthier, lose weight, and exercise. So, I came up with a list of mini-goals that I would like to accomplish in the next several days (or maybe weeks). These goals are not meant to be incredibly difficult. I already do tae-bo 6 days/week and take my daughter on 3 mile walks most days so I tried to keep these small to ensure I'm not overdoing it. But, I wanted to challenge myself to do little things that might have a small impact on my health.

Here are my mini-goals. I think it would be great if all of you could add your own and/or tailor these for yourselves and we could keep track of which ones we have accomplished. What do you think?

Mini-Goals

1) Do push ups for one minute
2) Do sit ups for one minute
3) Do lunges for one minute
4) Do 100 heel raises
5) Do 15 burpees
6) Do the plank for 30 seconds
7) Do leg raises for one minute
8) Do scissor kicks for one minute
9) Sit on a stability ball while working
10) Hold a squat for one minute
11) March in place while watching television
12) Stretch while watching television
13) Do high knees for one minute
14) Jump rope for one minute
15) Do jumping jacks for one minute
16) Do three sets of bicep curls
17) Do three sets of tricep dips
18) Run in place during commercials while watching television
19) Do side twists for one minute
20) Try a yoga pose
21) Dance energetically with the baby for 5 minutes
22) Do grape vines while watching television
23) Do three sets of side dips with hand weights
24) Do ski jumps for one minute
25) Spend 10 minutes focusing on deep breathing

**Obviously, I don't know the technical names for some of these exercises...
