I need constant motivation, otherwise I find myself slacking on my eating plan and exercising. Are you like me?

WHAT TO DO ...
This thread is for you to challenge yourself. What we'll be doing is posting our goals for the upcoming week. They can be any goal you want to accomplish in that week. Doesn't even have to be weight-loss related, just what you want to do in the next 8 days. (Yes, 8 days. More on that later.) Please only post in this thread once and edit your post on a weekly basis, as this is meant to be a place for individual tracking rather than conversation. You may start on any day of the week you wish. Your week starts over on that same day the following week! There are no "off" days to "be bad" or binge or slack off when the week ends because the week never ends, it just renews itself with your new goals that you will edit every week. For example, if you decide to start your week on Friday, your week will start over the following Friday. (Please see my post below for format. You can edit your post as often as you like to post updates, goal changes and dates, etc.) Note: If you should decide you no longer wish to participate in the thread, please delete your post. Many thanks!

Why 8 days? Because I've found that I tend to slack off as soon as I have my official weekly weigh-in. My weigh-in is Friday and once I step off the scale I immediately slack off thinking I can catch up later in the week ... which I never do. The result: I keep losing the same few pounds over and over again. And I'm tired of it! Soooo, this thread is an attempt to put an end to the cycle of weighing in and then slacking off at the end of the week.

It is also just a place where anyone (whether they have "slackeritis" or not) can keep track of their weekly goals and hopefully stay motivated to keep at them!

Edited to add: One thing I want to stress in this challenge is that it is OK to have an off day or an off moment, otherwise we may run into "burn out" and feelings of defeat. Accept that things come up from time to time that take our eyes off of what we are striving to do but the idea is to get back into the game! Don't give up on your goals!

Lets get busy!
