mini goals and challenges

  • do you set mini goals for yourself? If so, do you find that more motivational towards your big goal?

    do you set up challenges for yourself? Like trimming a minute off your your mile if you walk or adding reps to your work out routine?

    If so what are some mini goals and challenges you have done?
  • Yup I have a big flow chart that I made. I started it with my top weight-- 220, my current weight, and made a lot of squares (think similar to a flowchart or a board game) all the way down to 150, my goal weight. Each square is a mini goal. I made a lot of them, so that I have a lot of mini goals. I'm going to color each square as the weight goes down.
  • I challenge myself to increase my speed on the treadmill and shorten my mile by a minute or whatever. Over the course of the past 4 months I have gone from 3.3 mph to 3.8 mhp and have shaved 3 minutes off my mile.

    Some days I'lll set a goal to drink more water that day or eats smaller proportions that day
