Hello! Even though I made big resolutions for 2010, I also broke down my goals into monthly and weekly parts. This made it a lot easier to hold myself accountable and track my progress.
Well, I’m at it again
Here are my Monday Mini Goals for 1/10/11:
1. Stretch after every work out (even if it’s just for 3 minutes).
2. Keep track of water intake. I drink a TON of water, but I’m curious exactly how much.
3. Yoga once this week.
This morning I woke up and busted out 6 easy miles. I’m still a little stiff from this weekend’s long run. Good thing I’m going to stretch more this week!
Even though I’m upping my protein, I’m keeping Mondays Meatless. I made a scramble with salsa, leeks and mushrooms for breakfast. The salsa was watery, so it made the eggs a pink/orange color. Weird, but tasty all the same.
Served with a generous helping of guacamole. I’m used to a good amount of healthy fats in my breakfast. Usually, it’s nut butter, but this works too
Eaten by bocaditos – little bites pinched into a tortilla and dipped in guac.
Now I’m off to an interview and lunch date. I haven’t put make-up on or brushed my hair in days. It feels good to look fancy after days weeks in sweats and ponytails.
Question: Do you have any Monday Mini-Goals to share?
lynn @ the actors diet says
it is funny how getting all gussied up after days (or weeks, in my case) of not doing so will make you feel like prancing around!
Eliz@The Sweet Life says
What a great way to make resolutions/goals/intentions more do-able! Funny how so many of us have the same–stretch, more water, etc. Why are those things so hard??

Monica, I gave you a stylish blogger award on my blog!
Sana says
You look so cute all dolled up!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
I already achieved my mini goal today, which was to run 3 easy miles. I’m still sore from my half- marathon on Saturday, but I have another one coming up in 7 weeks!
chandra says
I hope the interview went well!
My Mini Goals:
1. Run 3x this week for at least 3mi each. (Tues, Thurs & Fri)
2. Plan ahead the night before so I’m not stressed right away in the morning.
3. Stay sane. 🙂

best of luck with your interview & enjoy your lunch date
Amanda says
Guacamole in the morning makes me happy. I want some asap.
Bridee says
Have you tried the Flatout Flatbread? (Target) 9 grams protein/100 calories! Super yum. I love protein and this is a good option… I make it with egg whites/red/bell peppers or with just peanut butter!
Amber K says
Oh my gosh, I LOVED that flatbread before I found out I can’t have gluten. Although I happened to weigh it once and realized that they run consistently heavier than the serving size. I think it was 100 calories for 50 grams or something like that and they were always 60+ grams. Not a huge difference, but I like to be aware of these things, lol.
So delicious though!
Bridee says
Good to know about the serving size!!! I never weigh.. just trust them!
kate says
Good luck on your interview!
Karyn says

Jess@atasteofconfidence says
My goal is to start swimming again this week!
You look cute!
Valerie @ Love and Running says
I love your mini goals!! Good luck on them 🙂
One of my goals is to stretch more too! I am terrible at stretching especially after a long run 🙁 and boy do my legs feel it the next day!!!
Love your hair and makeup you are so gorgeous!
Rose says
I tagged you in my latest post with a “Stylish Blogger Award.” You don’t have to play, but part of the rules is me letting you know that I’ve enjoyed finding and reading your blog, and I think you’re awesome.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I completed my mini goal for today- organize a ton of paperwork! Feels so good 🙂
alicia says
omg you rock the button-down so well! love it!
Valerie C. says
You Look soooooooooooo cute!!! I know you just officially started BFL but it seems to me like you lost weight! 🙂 My boyfriend and I ran the Disney Half this past saturday and I thought of you and how you ran it last year 🙂 We had a record of 26,000 people racing! CRAZYYYYYY. It was a bit hectic weaving in and out of people. As you say, no bueno.
Also, I loved how in the last post you commented on how a lot of people said chipotle burritos were “big.” I was born/grew up in Puerto Rico and my mom regularly made hearty burritos too. I have to agree bigger is always better 😉
Kara says
Good luck on your interview! I don’t have any Monday goals, other than doing the dishes before my husband gets home and showering. Those are big plans when there’s a baby in the picture!
Sarah (Sarah Learns) says
your bocaditos look delish! 🙂 good luck on the interview – you look pretty.
Rose says
I did Mini Goal Monday this week, too.
The biggest variations are this week I want to take three yoga classes, and I want to organize my workout clothes, which I’m using as an excuse to buy more. Whoops.

Jennie @ Designed to be Fit says
I love this idea! I think I might have to borrow it!
Today my mini goals are to strength train, drink a ton of water, and track everything in sparkpeople. I’m trying to keep track of my protein and carb intakes!
natalie (the sweets life) says
