Default Challenge yourself for the week 5/8-5/21

"Weekly challenges are a great way to stay accountable on your goals over shorter terms. You choose your goal for the week. It may or may not be sustainable over the long term. If a challenge/goal is not working after one week, re-evaluate and modify or move on. If you're thriving and you like it, feel free to reuse goals week to week as you integrate the healthy habits you develop with your routine!

Let us know your goal for this week and be sure to check in along the way and at the end to let us know how you're doing!

Feel free to tell us about how your goal went last week too!"


Shelf, hope it's ok I started this thread. It's been really helpful for me.

Goals for the week:
on plan all week
100 oz. of water each day
exercise Monday through Saturday

Sunday: on plan for the most part (except for a couple of pretzels), fishy on water
Monday: exercised (25 mins. rebounding/10 mins. free weights), drank all my water, was on plan except for a couple of pieces of full fat cheese/salami at an office party. Totally avoided any chips/crackers/cookies though!
Tuesday: exercised (30 mins. on rebounder), water-only drank about 70oz., on plan yes but for a couple of thin pretzel stix and some wine
Wednesday: exercised (20 mins. rebounding, 10 mins. free weights), water - only about 70 oz again, on plan no- ate 6 saltine crackers and about 3 extra servings of peanuts.
Thursday: fail on all
Friday: exercised (20 mins. rebounding, 10 mins. weights) on plan except spanikopita for dinner, ok for water

I won't be around next week - but I am going to set some personal goals for myself. It's Friday night and I'm all over the place packing, etc.

Of course it's ok you started it!

My challenge for the week is to stay accountable. I will probably be off plan... but I can't be in denial about it!

My goal is to get with the PROGRAM this week. Eat on plan (um, and plan first), exercise at least an hour a day etc.

The actual goal is to be accountable for all of this. I use the Beck Diet Solution's chart of logging weight, exercise, sticking to plan and other pro-diet behaviors. Yay.

My HOPE is to be one pound less by next Monday. We'll see if that pans out since I'm basically a maintainer now.

I've ended up being SOOO busy this week. I'm elated that my menus are all planned and that I don't have to go to the store! I will do this again next week!

It's been a great week for me! Planning my meals all at once saved me lots of thinking and it helped me to stay OP. I'll try it again this coming week.
