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

Your doing great.
My goals for this week are to woek out everyday this week. Drink only water and journal my food!

I love the idea of small doable goals..thats what i've been trying to do too..my goals for this week are:

1. - at least 8 glasses of water each day
2. - work out at least once (i'm a lazy butt)
3. - no candy or sweets for the week!

Your doing great ;)

My three things are:
control night time eating (my big issue)
fit in 4 workouts this week
drink more water

I like this.

1. I'm going to eat my veggies - 4 servings a day.
2. I'm going to do two cardio exercise videos this week.
3. No fast food.

This is GREAT!!

1. Continue to drink more water.

2. Take my vitamin every day. *goes to take vitamin I missed today*

3. Work out with Jillian on Wii at least 3 more times.

Yoga 3 days (either class or at home)
Cross country ski one day (snow coming on Wed.)
1 cupcake this week (a preemptive strike against my sweet tooth)

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).

Hm, my three for the week are:

-Gym 4x this week
-Drink at least 2.5 water bottles of water (28oz each, so 70oz), every day
-log all food into fitday, every day

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!! :carrot:

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.

Here are my three goals for the week:

1) No late night snacking unless it's a fruit or raw veggie
2) No alcohol this week
3) No Fast Food

:lol: Raichu, that's a catchy reminder. :)

1) Stick to my plan for the rest of the week
2) Keep under 1500
3) Continue the exercise and water

1) When my scale arrives, don't start weighing multiple times a day.
2) NO starbucks!
3) Responsibly eat small portions of dark chocolate just bought today. No touching the mint bar until next week!

Speaking of Starbucks, I'm planning to drive through on Friday but my standard drink is a tall skinny latte so I don't think it'll do much harm.

So far today I've had my water, I've journaled, and I've had no fast food. I don't even LIKE fast food all that much, we just LIVE in the car sometimes and it's the easiest thing when you're half an hour from home and everyone is whining about being hungry. I have to break this habit for ALL of us.

Now if I can just get to bed without snacking - I have planned for popcorn but I think I'll have tea.

1.) Under 1600 every day (ideally, under 1500)
2.) Exercise (cardio, strength or both) every day even though it's SUPER COLD and my house feels like it's the same temp indoors as outdoors
3.) No binges, even mini-binges that are within calories. I hate that out of control feeling.

I really like the short term goals.

My 3 are:
1) Keep calories around 1400
2)Weigh once a day if that(i get obsessed)
3)Continue 30 day challenge on EA Active Sports for WII even though I am tired of doing it.

How is everybody doing?

I've not done anything towards the exercise goal, but I have not had fast food and I've gotten in the daily vegetables.

I have followed through with journaling and skipping the fast food (does sushi count as fast food?) but I didn't get all the water yesterday. Spent all day in the car. Did not want to do a tour of public rest rooms.

Short term goals are a great idea :) My three:

-No binging or compulsive overeating
-Gym 3x this week, light exercise every day
-Journal everything eaten.

I've done well. I tossed the remainder of one of chocolate bars that I didn't particularly care for. In the past I still would have eaten it. Today is stressing me out and I want to devour the rest of the second bar, but so far I haven't.

My goal for today. Not to eat the last three cookies I baked only last night. I had most of them, unfortunately. Dexter had only a couple-- and I'm saving the last three for him.
