Default Three things for this week - what are yours?

I can't change everything at once, I get totally overwhelmed and lost trying to be "perfect" and instead I just sputter out. I have a LONG list of things I need to change and I'm going to try to tackle them a few at a time.

This week, my goals are:

1. No fast food.
2. Journal everything. Every. Thing.
3. Drink three glasses of water.

That's it. Just wanted it out there somewhere.

Anyone else have any small goals this week?

I'm planning my meals to avoid last minute drive through.
I have my notebook and pen in my purse (and purse in the kitchen) so I can journal what I eat.
I have decided when I'll have my water so I don't get to the end of the day and realize, ten minutes before bed, that I never had my water.

Your list looks great! This is how I started out my journey as well. I started out just exactly where I needed to be. For me that was with pre-counted meals, like lean cuisine, slim fast and protein bars. Slowly I changed that over to a more whole foods diet which I follow now. I was changing things up routinely, but it's been a while. Thanks for the reminder! I found that changing things a little at time kept everything fresh.

I guess my current focus is calorie cycling. I'm new to it and still getting my feet wet.

For this week, I plan to eat low calories with a re-feed day on Wednesday.

That's my one thing.

Three things I'd like to do:

Add more protein and calcium
Only weigh once a day (I'll weigh in the middle of the night if I get up to pee and I know I need to stop that)
Log my calories daily

My 3 goals:

1. Drink only water from noon on (I drink coffee in the morning, and will be adding that to a short term goal to reduce the amount I drink - I am a calorie counter, so the calories in my creamer are a huge issue with my allowable calorie intake).

2. Take my daily vitamin (not a big pill taker - so I don't always think of this!)

3. Incorporate more fruit into my diet. (I eat veggies but not that much fruit).

More veg and protien this week. Had way too many carbs last week.
Work out at the gym at least 5 times out of the next seven days (will adjust this goal if our roads aren't clear for me to go tomorrow. We're iced in today!).
Think more POSITIVE and more LONG term than I have so far. Look at this as a life change, not a spurt of change.

This is a great idea! You are all doing AWESOME!!

Sometimes I even feel like planning an entire week is overwhelming... I take it by the day... and sometimes by the hour! But I'm aiming for;

No fast food
No binging
SLOW DOWN and THINK when you're hungry; wait for the rumble; and make sure to eat every 4 hours!

Love this post!

1. Drink more water.

2. Elliptical at least 4x this week.

3. Keep calories right around 1200, and try to incorporate more protien into that.
