goal of the week, what is yours?

tarab21 Posts: 508 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/06/24, 11:42 PM I'm going to start postin ga new goal of mine each week. If you'd like to join me, please do. Seeing other peoples' goals may help one another. These will be small goals of course, as they are one week only. My first goal for this week is nutritional: to stop SNEAK EATING. that means no more small bites of snacks here and there unaccounted for, no ketchup or sugary sauces...everything counts this week! I have troubles with grapes, I grab one or two every time I go to the kitchen...which is okay during the day, but at night it's no good. I can eat a lot of extra cals that way. no sneak eating! What's your short term goal of the week?

We have a big huge bowl of fresh,red crunchy cherries out in the kitchen and I can't resist them!! I also take a few bites of this and that during the day....especially during cooking. So I'll TRY to stop doing that too. Must stay away from the cherries...noooo cherries.....

(The nerve of some people...lol!) Twice I found myself breaking off a piece and eating it without even thinking. So sticking to the diet, especially through the weekend, is my goal. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

I am so easily influenced to eat junk when it's "that time". *sigh* I need a personal assistant that follows me around all day electrocuting me when I reach for something I shouldn't have or when I don't work out when I should. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

sypress Posts: 192 Joined: 2003/04/13	2003/06/28, 12:57 PM I have a few goals for the week starting sunday june 29-july 6 th. Keep up with my 13 week walk/run program (increase running time) , get out of "holiday mode", get my butt back into the gym. Also to make goals for the month of July on the first and to weigh and measure (not looking forward to that) Get eating habits cleaned up (had an off week, due to still being in holidays mode). I think thats enough to focus on for the week. Good luck everyone.! -------------- You can do anything you set your mind to! 5\'6 Highest weight 215.6 lbs October 22/02 Current weight 195.4 lbs
fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2003/06/28, 08:33 PM My goal this week will be to eat enough in each day so I don't lose any weight. At work I always end up eating junk food like doritos and cheetos. Also to make my own lunch each night. If I don't my mom makes my lunch and it ends up coming out to be WAY too little. An example would be that I usually make a half pound extra lean burger, with a slice of cheese and two slices of bread, a salad with a half pound of grilled chicken, and a protien shake. IF my mom makes it she will give me just the salad (no chicken)... thats it.. I was crazy starving by the end of that day.. I just got out of work then went to taco bell and had 4 tacos and an order or nachos... never again... really.. "If you want something done right.. do it yourself"

In the 2 months since changing my diet and lifting heavier I have lost 5 lbs and over 5 inches total. I am so motivated now! -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Gwin and Ravenwolf, let's all try to not kill anyone, mmm k? I kept my goal mediocrely, I just had one kinda bad day. my goal this week is to keep up the eating and drink more WATER. I'm terrible about drinking water. I probably haven't had just a plain glass of water in months.
