    Okay I have something to admit here:

    My name is Gillian and I am a Doctor Who fan!.... :) In honour of its upcoming 50th anniversary ( and yes I have been watching since 1963 )

    The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

    Weakness is definitely sweets! So many calories in a 'gone-in-a-moment' morsel! I bake a lot, and it's hard to resist. I usually fail. :/

    Hey Wolveriners!!!!!

    Today is Tips & Tricks Thursday. Share something you think has helped you along your journey.

    Here is a little trick I use to get in my reps. Since drinking all this waters send me to the bathroom, each time I go and if it is empty I do some sort of exercise. for ex squats, jumping jacks, high knees. I will do 25 each visit. Sounds crazy but the exercise bathroom breaks works lol...

    "Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out."

    Have a great day team!!!

    Tips and tricks

    If you have ever watched a cat or dog wake from sleep you will see they always stretch first. I've started doing that as well, as soon as my eyeballs are unglued I will do the stretching requirement for this challenge, it gets it out of the way and noticeably takes care of the aches and pains from sleeping all night..

    I will also do standing calf raises whilst preparing meals and shoulder presses/push ups whislt watching a bit of telly..

    If I want to work a bit harder on a walk I'll put a couple of things in a small daypack, carrying that 10lbs really pumps up the burn...

    And I thought we could have a bit of a laugh today to inspire... :)

    My tip...

    For weight loss I think of mfp as a bank. I can only withdrawal a certain amount each day. If I make a deposit, I can take out more. I also look at calories more on a weekly basis than a daily basis. I think as a runner I have to do this. I am always more hungry the day after a long run and I never eat enough on the day of the long run... it balances out.

    For exercise...I tell myself I have to get to that next light pole or the next tree and than the one after that an so on and so on.

    And on that note my tip / or should I say what I've learned is you can't out exercise a bad diet...and also one for us ladies, if you crave something around that time try and find an alternative healthier version to have in... I crave salty stuff... so if we have crisp (potato chips) in I just eat and eat them - and normally I'm not fussed about them. I discovered a while back that I love raw celery and it actually is a great sub and hits the spot (you may have seen it in my diary recently hehe) so this month I didn't buy in the crisps (potato chips) and got celery instead... once I actually do this a few months I actually start to crave the stuff, it happened last time I did this...

    I love the toilet one, I did some calve raises in there today... I will start doing that next week. I'll also do my stretches in the AM like Gillian and I already do what twinmom does (great runners think alike)...

    Tips:

    I work from home, so I am tied to the desk for longer than I'd like. To get more activity into my day, I'll make an excuse to make extra trips around the house and will walk in place while I am standing. I don't count that as extra exercise, but I know because of my body bugg/body media fit that it bumps me into a different activity level. I also sneak in strength training while I am helping the kids with showers or waiting on them for something. My middle daughter laughed at me the other day, and said "Mom- why are you doing push-ups in the bathroom??"...lol. :)

    Also, I love to feel full, so I eat a lot of things that are voluminous- like melons, strawberries, salads, popcorn, cucumbers- things I can eat a lot of for not a lot of calories. When I am prepping meals, I have a tendency to snack on what I am making. You know those bites add up! So, I usually will pop a fresh piece of gum into my mouth to keep it busy. :)

    Love these daily shares!

    Hey guys, I've realized that even though doing this challenge has helped me get in workouts that I wouldn't have done otherwise I'm finding it difficult to carve out time to be online posting to the board consistently which isn't fair to the rest of you on the team. So I think I will have to drop out.

    I could post my stuff for this week for the team to help you guys and then consider it my last week? Team leaders please let me know what you'd like me to do.

    I'm really sorry guys, I was really looking forward to this.

    Hi Diane, yes it can all be a bit of a handful getting in all the workouts and logging in routinely as well.. You need to do what is best for you, that is the single most important thing.

    Certainly log what you can for this week, and yes it can be used for the team goals. Even think about staying involved from the sidelines and continue with the workouts if that is helping you. You need not log every day if that helps at all for you, you will lose points for the team support and smack talking. But if it would help you to stay in by only posting your stats, say just twice a week, that maybe an option for you?

    I'm sure Kelly would agree that though that doing what is best for you is best.... :)

    Cheers

    @dianermi : you take care Hun! Was great to have ya! :)

    Tips: I just feel knackered after work so have been getting up early to hit the gym and will fit in a later less strenuous session later. I'm also retraining my brain to not focus on cal numbers as that can lead to unhealthy obsessions ( panic arg I'm in the red and 13 cals over !!) not good... Just don't be too hard on yourself and your body will thank you for it!

    Weakness: what is with bread it's so bloody ridiculously craves one to me. I have been only buying a couple high fibre granary rolls or batch loads and one slice/roll is hearty/dense enough to satisfy ( guess that's another tip!)

    @kelly thanks for logging my stats

    It's Friday!!!
