It never occurred to me to ever establish a mini mini mini goal, but what a great concept.

Hey Andi!! Yay you are working towards your goals. That’s great! Thanks for the kind words too. No I didn’t follow the Zone. I’ve read parts of it and it looks good but it seemed to me like there was a lot of counting and math involved. That makes me CRAZY!! I eat in salad ratios. If you can make The Zone as part of your lifestyle rather than a diet to follow that’s great!

Thanks Michelle! A 60 second plank is still pretty brutal for me too! I figure if I add 10 seconds a week I’ll be able to do a 5 minute plank in about 6 months! You make a really good point I should have mentioned goals that are “measurable”. It feels so good to reach those instead of just saying “lose weight”. Not that losing weight doesn’t feel great but I think it’s better is you add how much and when. Thanks for reading and adding!!!

Hi Jenn,
I’m working on my goal! As far as diet did you follow The Zone diet and use the block chart. I have been eating better but I have not gone totally zone. I only bring up zone because that’s what crossfit uses and I think you and Martha look great!

Great post! Goodness, the plank for 5 minutes! I did/started the beginner’s workout you posted for New Year’s last night and 1 minute of plank was brutal. I never realized it was so hard! I won’t even start to talk about the unassisted pull-ups! lol Your goals are wonderful (and *very* measurable might I add) and I wish you success in each of them
