Ravenclaw Common Room

NikkiMustang77

Sorry to be a bit absent - had a kinda crazy week of going to Wisconsin, then Chicago, then back and doing family stuff. However, my first attempt at highway driving went well!

Weight will be posted tomorrow...
Exercise Minutes: 330, if dancing can be included... otherwise it's about 175.
OWLs were pathetic and I didn't keep very good track of them, so yeah XD

TwiFan5

Weighed in at 46 Kgs so don't know what that is in Ibs sorry, have no OWLS again sorry and have roughly 150 House Points, will be back on board this week.

Matchamatcha

Hi, checking in late sorry. My weight for this week is 64kg. Huzzah! Finally a big drop on the scaled. And no OWLs for this week. Sorry , I have been neglecting everything due to... I don't know what? End of semester/job/life stress I guess. I need a holiday. You know the feeling of just needing to lie on a couch/beach/grass with a book for a week? That's where I'm at. Not that I don't do a lot of slouching and reading already, but I need the "holiday" mentality that comes with changing your surroundings too. Hopefully now that I'm working I can actually afford to go somewhere for a few days once my exams are over.

forgot to actually post my weight yesterday . . . still at 127lbs . . . 11 OWLS . . . 407 House Points

Congrats! I started at 150 and hope to eventually get down to 120 as well, so I'm glad to see there's someone making her way there, it is motivation!!!

Thanks- I actually started at 150 about a month before joining MFP- its been a slow process . . . that hits bumps and road blocks along the way (mainly myself) but I'm still on the road and that's what matters right?

Speaking of bumps and roadblocks- I hit one for the past month, but am back on track today! I was hanging wqith the kids and husband Saturday night in a t-shirt and boy shorts, when husband says, "You've kind of been slacking on your diet lately" OK- before everyone jumps on him he's right- and I needed someone or something to kick my a**- and that was it.
So . . . I'm back!
This parking far away challenge is A LOT easier when I'm dragging a 3 year old and carrying a 18 month old with me!! Its much easier at work!

Today's Stats:
Food (whole grains)- 0
Exercise (park far away)- +1
Spirit- +1

Weekly Stats
OWLS- 4 HOUSE POINTS 171

Good morning everyone! Checking in for the day

Congrats Craft! AWESOME JOB!!

Just checking in, yesterday went well, though I tried to take "before" photos and felt crummy all afternoon (I didn't let it lead to snacking though). Then I accidentally deleted the before photos because of the new iPhone OS so I will have to get my husband to take them again!

I am going to yoga tonight, planning on ramping up the exercise all week. I really, really want to hit my Halloween goal, and I only have 2 weeks left to lose 2.5 pounds!

NikkiMustang77

Weight: 155.2. oof. need to drink water.
Today's been a sleepy day. Three hours of sleep makes a not happy Nikki.

psb13

working a bit late tonight and taking a quick break to check in. i had a feeling this was going to be a late night so i did a very early morning workout before work. hope everyone has a great evening!!

karinane

Sorry for the late weigh-in this week, and it isn't going to be accurate, but its the best I can do. I have been in New York visiting friends the last few days and have been very bad. Too much good food to eat and beer to drink, but I'm hoping that all the walking I did will lessen the impact. Anyways I wasn't able to get to my scale this morning so hopefully this number will go down tomorrow morning when I check in for real.



October week 3:
weight: 158.2 (up 2.2 lb, but I don't think this is right)
house points: 332

OWLs: (total= 5)
food: 1
exercise: 3
spirit: 1

tameko2

Hmmm i think I missed my posting yesterday....

Got my walk in yesterday at least.

Today:
Food: 1
Spirit: 1 (hi there)
Parking: 1

I'm ALSO super sleepy today. Cats were making a racket this morning because we're cat sitting and I have the third cat locked in a bedroom, and I think my cats were sitting outside it crying to get in.

the_accountinator

Checking in real fast at 281.8. I know it's up but it could have been worse after a weekend of fun Fall food. I did get in a wonderful 30 min walk in the crisp morning Fall air

Samiwhereareyou

Im still the same 153.5. I miss all of you so much I miss this challenge. My work is taking me out of town for weeks at a time but I am thinking about all of you and I love reading about your successes. Keep it up. I will be much more active towards the end of November.

azsuzi

Glad to see all of your smiling faces tonight! Its been a long, busy day for me but I did remember to take a longer route to my office from the parking garage today! :happy:

We still need weigh ins for:

binariiangel (will be removed from list if no weigh in this week)
DefiningRaquel
kaseyb21
tigersmoondiva
TrissieYounglove

Have a good night everyone!

psb13

up for my extra early morning workout. i don't burn as much since i am more tired and don't have time to work up to the burn i normally get but it's better than getting home late and either doing it then or skipping in totally!! have a great day everyone!!

Scarlettdawn764

Well, I parked at the very back of the parking lot last night. Too bad it was raining that really cold, drizzly rain when I got off this morning. I was soaked and chilly by the time I got to my van :ohwell:

DefiningRaquel

Hey guys, just back from the hospital and am ready to be back on track though ive to start low intensity i guess. Hope everyone is having a great week

sundancer1966

Hi,

Tuesday check in. Forgot to park far this morning again. Oh well, will be lacking in excerise owls this week. In my defense it was cold and rainy.

momofJandA

Had a nice day yesterday. My team bought me a gift for Boss's Day, and I was pleasantly surprised that they got me one of those edible arrangements with all the yummy fruit. I guess they had considered cupcakes and treats, but then remembered I was trying to eat healthier lately.

Made my day.

missbeccaanne

Aww, I just saw the exercise challenge I do not drive so that will be a zero for me this week. But other than that just checking in. Had a pretty great weekend it was the monsters half birthday so we celebrated and went and saw cars 2 at the cheap theatre, (that movie was so not meant for children) also went way over on my calories with eating out. hoping to not bounce back after my great weigh in.

azsuzi

Happy day Ravenclaw! Hope you're all enjoying your day.

Here are the week 2 October results - I'll post the chart later tonight...

Our top OWL earner is psb13 with 23 OWLs!
Our top loser is Scarlettdawn764 who lost 2.57%!

Way to go to this week's Prefects!!

Here is the link for the Prefects badge for your signature (just change the IMG's to lower case):


psb13, please email an idea for the food challenge to me by Wednesday and Scarlettdawn764, send me an exercise challenge.

Last week's Prefects, please remember to remove the badge from your signature.

Good job everyone!!

Ok, who came up with the idea for balls of chocolate cake with chocolate icing, dipped in white chocolate, and then rolled in chocolate sprinkles? That's not fair.

The food holidays are coming up, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, volunteer activities. They all involve food, and more often than not, my trigger foods. Refined carbs of any kind are my downfall. Bread, cake, pasta, biscuits, cookies, crackers, candies, you name it., I start craving more. Even if I manage to resist eating it initially, I start thinking about how it would taste and then obsess about it.

I went to a volunteer training event last night, and there were all sorts of goodies, including those !@#$ cake balls. I confess, I ate four and they tasted good! But I can't do that every time I go do volunteer work.

How are you going deal with the excess food for the next three months?

tameko2

Today:
Food: 1 (not yet but i have something planned for tonight)
Spirit: 1 (hi there)
Parking: 1


So far:
7 owls!


_gwen - I hope I will be ok but I really don't know yet. I'm pretty good about denying myself stuff like that USUALLY but today I was in line to order my sandwich and just staring t the bakery case. I wanted something from hte bakery case SO BAD today. IT was really hard not to get something.

Im worried that I'm hitting that point where I've been denying myself for so long that all that want is going to pile up and I'll just HAVE to eat something bad. I'm gonna have a chocolate foil ball in a second and hopefully that will settle me out for today.

Also I'm STILL tired and want to curl up and NAP.

nieme

Checking in... I parked far today and carried my laptop, lunch, purse, and all that other crap in heels. Normally that is incentive to park close. haha.
