Weekly Challenge - What's your goal?
1) I will say something nice to someone else every single day, whether it be my kids, my husband, a friend or acquaintance I will let somone each day know how important they are to me.
2) I will ONLY work out for 30 min. This week each day. I will NOT overdue it.
3) I will not take one bite of my daughters cereal in the morning when I make it.
Just wanted to say that last week I failed miserably at the coffee thing. . .But I did great about the other ones and lost 6 lbs, so maybe letting going of the worry lets go of the pounds too.

Thanks Alison!
I'm on vacation for 12 days. The kitchen here is filled with lots of on plan foods. It's also filed with lots of fat/flour/sugar combinations. I have to keep reminding myself that organic does not mean healthy for me if it's filled with the dreaded three. one of my fatal flaws is wanting to feel like I fit in. I just can't when it ones to sitting around the table.
So my goal for the next week is to take a moment before meals. Have a plan for what's going on my p,ate. Leave the sliders alone. I commit to weighing every morning. the scale may not be the same as mine at home but it will give me a reality check on how I'm doing!
Thanks again for this post. I'd rather bury my head in you know what but I've worked to hardhere et here!

This week my goals are:
1. Lose the extra pound or so I picked up while traveling last week. Could be water weight, but who knows. Will do this by staying on plan and tracking intake (as I do everyday...)
2. Make sure to get at least 85 oz of liquid in each day. Was closer to 64-70 oz last week. I do better when I keep my liquid intake is at about half my weight in oz. Not sure why, but it works.
3. Commit to 5 days at the gym. It's already scheduled all I have to do is show up and do it!
4. Stay in control on Saturday. Hosting a club function at the house. Drinks, dinner, desert, etc... I get stressed and tend to eat nibbles and bites in those situations. Going to make sure I have a Crystal Light with me at all times during the evening.

Well girl you know it's time to get "serious" and do my 1/2 marathon training. Somebody sent me their schedule
1. Complete week 1 of the schedule
2. Mindful eating. I have my Snacks and Lunches planned for the work week. I cooked yesterday so I have Asian Meatballs and Chicken Salad at home for Dinner and other stuff that requires cooking if I want to eat something else. Choices are Chicken and Salmon.
3. Play MY menu for the jobs annual Picnic on Saturday. I NEED to not eat the food they are providing by CHOICE, which means I NEED to plan accordingly and pack a cooler.
Adding
4. MAKE sure to hit 6K EVERYDAY, especially SUNDAY!!

I WILL complete week one. I WILL complete week one. I'm going to just repeat that until I do it.
I hope I have this all planned out. I made my workout schedule for the week - complete with a cycling day and 3 boxing sessions :)
My plan is to get my running stuff together before i sleep so I can just grab and go because I have to run in the mornings. Its going to be 100+ here this week so no night time running for me. I am only allowing myself ONE treadmill session a week.

Thank you to everyone who is participating. This is probably helping me more than anyone - I feel re-energized and motivated by all the ideas I got here - lots of things I can work on that I wouldnt have even thought about. I am looking forward to the mid-week check in already!!

Okay, I'm in.
The two areas that I have been slacking in are:
1. Eating too many pistachios, even though, I faithfully measure and log them in my food tracker. I will eliminate them for the remainder of the week.
2. I will perform cardio exercise at least 3 times/week, which means I will have to get a session in, before work. I do great with resistance training 3-4 times/week, but have been slacking on the cardio.
3. No nighttime snacking after dinner.

This is a great idea!
Today I'm three weeks post-op. I haven't really been tracking my water. I've just been making sure to drink when I'm awake and make sure I'm going to the bathroom regularly and having clear urine. So, I will start keeping track of my water intake.
My second goal is to get closer to 70grams of protein each day.
