seekingpeaceinlove Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I've struggled with my weight for my entire life. I've always been athletic and enjoy being active but my love for food negates the effort I put into getting fit. I lost 30 lbs late last year and gained back 10. I'm looking to lose 30 more lbs and I think the best way for me right now is to focus on short term goals. In the next 7 days I will: -stick to my home-cooked meal plan (prep early) -eat out only once this week -workout at least 5 days -up my water intake -weigh myself only once Then, next week I will challenge myself to another set up of goals. Hopefully, week after week I'll start seeing positive changes again! What about you? What is your 7-day challenge?
Priv Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 None. 20 lbs in half-3/4 a year is great. Why change what you were doing before? Those are good results! Grats! Personally I think 7 day challenges might bring short term results that arent sustainable over time.
deathandtaxes Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 That's a great challenge, OP!! I hope you keep it up. I LOVE food, too, and it can totally be my undoing in trying to just maintain weight. I don't have a seven day challenge per se, just hope to keep an even keel when it comes to diet and exercise.
Author seekingpeaceinlove Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks all. I'm tying this 7-day challenge to keep me in check because I have a tendency to get comfortable when I lose weight and eat liberally...and then I end up being back at square one. I'm hoping these short term goals will kick me back into high gear and get me back into the zone where I was consistently losing weight. Once I reach that goal...maintaining will be another beast to tackle. 1
