Goal Call
How did you do? Did you accomplish your goal, get stuck, have a funny story to tell?
- Heather G: Great Job getting in the exercise 5 of 7 days. Tackling the extra sweets is a great place to start with food!
- Cindi: Battling the balance of eating regularly throughout the day. You’re doing great by focusing on one small step at a time. It’s not easy, but keep your head up! Have you tried pre-prepping simple, healthy snacks in the refrig and pantry for the week? I find that helps me grab the “right” food over the junk food.
- Blaine: Building up mileage again–30-35.
- Brianna: 3 runs becoming a habit. Yea!!! Adding a No Sweets Day. Great babystep.
- Susan: Keeping the 5 of 7 days of 30 minutes exercise. You bet you can continue to use the same goal. Habits are worth every week of focus!
- BK: Welcome! 5 days 60 min cardio + 3 days strength training.
- JoLynn from The Fit Shack 5 cardio sessions at 30 minutes/ 2 strength sessions.
I look forward to hearing how you did with your goals. Great job focusing on the small steps! A surprise reward will go to one of you for commenting on the results (good or bad)!

Last week went pretty well. Ran just shy of 40 miles. This week my goal is to get 40-50 miles, depending upon how I feel after donating blood tonight. I don’t imagine it will cause much of a disruption, but it’s been years since I’ve donated since it seems the only times I think of it are while I am training for a marathon or just ran one.
I did I hit my goal!!!! I taught 4 classes and then ran 2x’s last week for a total of 6 days cardio and I actually did strength training 4 days.. because there is at least 20 min in each of my class
this weeks goal.. besides teaching 3x’s this week I want to run 30 mins for 3 days
Yes, I accomplished my goal!
This week I want to fit in some yoga and/or pilates. I put in a yoga video over the weekend, and I felt so refreshed (a stretched out) afterwards that I’d like to do it more often. I mostly focus on cardio, so I think a change of pace now and then is a very good thing.
This week I’d like to do at least 2 yoga and/or pilates sessions.
OK, so I only ran twice last week, but I did have one day with no sweets!
This week, back to 3 runs (easy to do with one run done and a race on Saturday!). Another no sweet day again. It was impowering. I’m not ready to up it to 2 days with no sweets just yet, but think that it is worthwhile to consider on a regular basis and helps me limit my sweet intake overall.
Hi Cindy,
I reached my goal last week, yeah! I’m keeping the same goal, 5 cardio sessions at 30 minutes/ 2 strength sessions. Oh, and I dropped 3 lbs.
Thanks!
Whoo Hoo! I did much better. I am eating carrot sticks, bananas, celery, etc. I have been reading about the effect of not sleeping well on the body.
I am a night person and then pay for it in the morning! I am trying to schedule an earlier bedtime! That is this week’s goal. Thanks for the Yankee Candle certificate. I appreciate it…..Cindi
I’m always late for the goal call. But does it count that I’ve already surpassed my goal
I want to weight train three days. And I want to run two days on top of that.
I think it’s a first for me in a long time!
You’re all doing fantastic. Keep up the great work. It’s inspiring to see the transformations and the smaller steps leading to big accomplishments!
