• Make sure to include the topic of your post in your title (I've noticed putting "Kristin @ Like a 2-year-old" in the title spot is a total weight loss blog trend - we're looking for the subject so people know what they're clicking on.)

Weekly goals! Make it a good one!

Goals set last week:

1. Keep up with those quick and easy workouts, I have no excuse for not fitting them in. 

Nailed it! I've been keeping up with my 300s whenever I have a few moments and adding some new ab workouts.  I even brought the hula hoop in so I could keep moving while watching Extreme Weight Loss,

2. Make an effort again to organize a fitness social event.

Womp womp...I didn't even give this a decent shot.  I left a message for one person and never really pushed it.

3. Create a plan for said fitness social event - circuit workout, healthy snack and drink, something to make it fun and more than just a workout. Feel free to let me know if you want a copy sent to you - it would keep me accountable for this goal!

I do have a pretty awesome plan for when I finally do gather up a crew!  It's something!

My DietBet ends at the end of this week.  I need to get down to business!!  I've made my goal of 8lbs for the month, but I need to shave off at least one more to make up for clothing and holding the camera during my final weigh-in....  Fingers crossed!!!

Goals for this week:

1. Make all efforts to STOP late-night snacking!!  If I want a snack at nightI have to fit it in before 8. I will brush my teeth with the kiddo all week to stop food from entering my mouth at that time.  I bought Silk Iced Latte to slowly sip as my dessert after dinner - and that's it!!!

2.  Try again on getting a group together.  Continue to work on organization until I can actually gather the girls.

3.  Meal plan and use up ALL the things I bought at the farmer's market.



By the way... I know there have to be many of you, like myself, who need help every so often. I often have questions, need advice and, occasionally, run into some great tips that work for me that I'd love to share. It'd be great to be able to look for guidance and share helpful hints all in one place, so I will be starting Tips & Tricks Tuesday. Kristin, from Seeing Less of Kristin, has graciously offered to co-host! Once I get the button fixed up to include her, I think we'll see the party pop up next week! Exciting! You are all invited to come and link up old posts you think others would find helpful and link up any posts you have where advice is needed!!

Linking up with these ladies again this week too!
