This Week I Accomplished/Next Week I Commit To...
 

If any of you use the 3-month planning journals you can get from WW, you'll recognize this as what shows up at the end of every week's tracking pages. I was thinking about how there are some things that I really need to re-focus on for next week, and I was kicking myself for a bunch of things I did wrong this week. But of course, it's always far more constructive to focus on the positives, and take a "can-do" approach to solving your problems.

I know it's not the beginning of a new WW week for everyone, but I think it can still be a helpful exercise at any point. I know I need to do this and kind of "finalize" my commitments for next week, I hope some of you ladies will join me in this! :)

Last week, I accomplished:
1) I made healthy choices at restaurants the two nights I ate out.
2) I prepared my lunches ahead of time so I was able to grab them quickly in the morning.
3) I ate up to my target points every day (and beyond that, but that's another matter :lol:).

Next week, I commit to:
1) Exercise at least every other day, starting Saturday.
2) Entirely avoid the chip/cookie aisle when I go grocery shopping.
3) Make sure I'm entirely present in the process of eating -- no mindless snacking like last week. If I'm going to eat a snack, I'm going to sit down with it and concentrate on it so I know what's happening.
4) With the exception of a post-workout snack, I will not eat anything after I've put the "period" on dinner.
5) Not use many FPs during the week, as I'm going out of town Fri/Sat and will invariably end up eating out (and needing those FPs).


:lol: I have a lot of commitments for the coming week, as I've been pretty off-track this week. There are a lot of things I need to fix!

Suite - What a GREAT idea! I use this function every week to keep everything in perspective. I'd love to join in :) I don't always have neat little lists like you, though hee hee ^^ You have such great ideas for threads :D I like what you're trying to accomplish. Nothing wrong with setting our goals high ^^

Last week I accomplished:
I exercised every day. I used my points nearly exactly every day. I was eating more fruits to healthfully add points to my meals.

Next week I commit to:
Plan my weekend meals ahead of time tonight. Keep the fruits/veggies on hand and ready to eat for snacks. Continue to exercise each day.

I don't always try too many *new* things in my commitments... but that's because, especially with exercise, I have to commit to it each week or it starts to drop off!

good idea :)

Last week, I accomplished:
1. eating low points meals throughout the day but still enough to sustain on days i was going out to eat and making good choices while out to eat (kind of haha).
2. planned meals!!
3. exercised more then NOTHING haha

Next week, I commit to:
1) exercising (how the h e double hockey sticks do you spell that GR) 4 times this week at least!!
2) none of that mindless food grazing/snacking - no bites here and there!
3) eat earlier dinners!!!
4) try to do all the healthy eight at least 6 days this week (shooting for all seven!)


looks like we have some of the same weak points/goals suite! haha as i'm sure many do. :)

Can I join? I'm a flexer but have only lurked up here the past week or so - I'm usually down in the general area:

Last week, I accomplished:

1. Three good days of exercise (45 minutes or more)

2. I stuck out the week even though I was having bad late night eating issues

3. Read more posts here and joined back in the usual thread and stopped retreating into myself for bad self talk


Next week, I commit to:

1) Do more GOOD self talk

2) Pay more attention to the Healthy 8 guidelines

3) Plan, Plan, Plan

4) Stop late night grazing

This is a great idea!

Last Week, I Accomplished...
a) Didn't eat any goodies at school function
b) Packed my lunches when going to school rather than buying unhealthy alternatives
c) Ate very few flex points compared to most weeks

Next Week, I Commit To...
a) Exercise at least 4 days even if I am still stuffed up
b) Continue to use fewer flex points and spread them out a bit more

Last week I accomplished
 

Last week I accomplished:
LOST 3 POUNDS on flex

This week I commit to:
Exercise 20 minutes 5 days this week

Have a good week everyone! Bethz

Last week I accomplished: A 0.4lb gain on the scale, :(, but increased my activity level by trying the new Hip Hop Abs video.. I can't get through the whole thing without a couple breathers yet, but hopefully in time!

This Week I commit to: Even more activity because I lack in this area, and a loss of anything would be nice! Maybe get through the video without stopping? Oh, and more fruits!

Last week I accomplished - Somehow keeping my head above water despite numerous mental orders to binge. Managed a loss despite terrible eating.

This week I commit to - EXERCISE. At least three times this week. More would be fantastic but I want to make sure I achieve at least this!!
