    People often say that motivation doesn't last...Well, neither does bathing that's why we recommend it daily! (Zig Ziglar) Have a Terrific Tip Top Thursday Team. I agree Dillyg08 thank you.

    It's Friday and the weekend is just around the corner. Do you find it easier to stick to your goals and fitness plans during the week or at the weekend? Enjoy!

    TGIF! Definitely the weekends are harder for me for the most part although I tend to move more on the weekends as I'm not chained to a desk all day so that really helps!

    Weekends have always been my biggest challenge also. I changed my weigh in day to Sat from thurs to help me be more aware of my weekends. Hopefully this will help!

    Would love to see everyones goals for the week. Here are mine:
    1) Plan meals so I don't get caught hungry and grabbing something I regret
    2) Exercise and add it to group spread sheet! Go MFP Calorie counting Group!
    3) Drink more water this week. I tend to forget to drink enough water!

    I still started out bad for this week, I had such a sugar craving. Turning the tables today.
    My goal is to log every bite & stay withing my allotted calorie range and workout at least 30 minutes each day.

    Great goals dilly and sara - sugar has been my downfall too so balancing it out will be the key for me! Happy Sunday

    Thank you - it's amazing how it all adds up.

    Round 3 exercise spreadsheet is now open if you'd like a side challenge to this one. It can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11PYF5Hxt7-djBO-aNAm63ZYZdDO0kVDEZf_78aGTZQ0/edit?usp=docslist_api

    This time round it is to record the number of miles you do. If you don't walk or run, never fear! You may count every 15 minutes of any type of exercise you do (aerobics, biking etc) as one mile for this challenge.

    Have a great week Team MFP CC. Let's get moving and good luck to you all!

    Potato chips are evil *LOL* and sometimes I just have to have them. We've been buying Tostitos Tortilla chips with a hint of lime and they are so yummy. I like them as a better alternative to potato chips and as a bread substitute from time-to-time. They are great with soup! Too many temptations.

    Weigh-in day is fast approaching (Jan 31st) so don't forget to add your stats to the team spreadsheet! It doesn't matter if you're up, down or stuck on that plateau, it's the taking part and being accountable that counts so you can make the same or better choices going forward. We're really whizzing through the weeks B)
