    I know what you mean when I read your explanations, but OWLs are the exercise part and NEWTs are the food part.
    Oh dear, it's such a bad idea to get those confused; I doubt a NEWT would be particularly efficient at delivering letters! :bigsmile:
    Hopefully I have it the right way round this week...

    Weight, I weighed in early (yesterday) but have lost 0.3lb.

    OWLs - 0

    NEWTs - 25 Had at least eight glasses of water every day, but on two days I also had a lot of wine and didn't have extra water and I know I was a bit dehydrated, so I'm not giving myself points for those days.

    HOUSE POINTS - Slightly better, 361 this week.

    GOALS
    On holiday for a few weeks after today and won't have access to scales and internet access will be patchy, so as I'm now officially no longer overweight, and as exercise has been slipping lately, I'm temporarily changing my goal to an exercise challenge of at least 90 minutes every day until my return. (I might regret this haha!)

    Bronwyn, I'll almost certainly be able to get online somewhere to report back in a week's time, so do keep me in! :smile:

    Hahaha! That's true, a newt wouldn't do a very good job delivering letters, would it?

    You got them right this week, tho!

    And I'll be sure to keep you in and mark your exercise goal down. Have a wonderful trip!

    Checking in:

    st (8-1) w 33 h 35 b 37
    10/1 goal: w 28/30 h 30/32 b 34/36
    10/31 goal: same as 10/1 but with my booty being what it is now. if i hit my goal before 10/31 i think i will just start trying to burn a certain number of calories if that is ok.

    8-8 to 8-22 same as start
    8-29 w 32 h 35 b 361/2
    9-4 w 311/2 h 341/2 b 36
    9-12 w 31 h 34 b 36
    9-19 w 30 h 32 b 34
    9-26 w 30 h 32 b 331/2
    10-2 w 29 3/4 h 32 b 33
    10-9 w 29 1/4 h 32 b 32
    10-17 w 28 1/4 h 31 b 32
    10-23 w 28 h 31 b 31 1/2

    not doing inches anymore but calories burned (goal was 7000 to 7500)
    calories burned this week: 8204
    think i should aim higher so maybe 7500 to 8000

    owls: squat kicks 1800
    newts: water drank more than my normal 8 glasses so 35 for this week
    hp: minutes working out 1745

    usually hit more than that for hps but hubby was home so didnt workout as long as normal for a few days. i feel like a slight bit of a failure but it is what it is and i cant change it. as for all of you i am so proud of you all!!!

    Was on vacation for 2 weeks and did almost nothing. Started back on track (sort of) last Monday, so here's what I got:
    CW: 10/23/11 = 138.6
    GW: 10/31/11 = 135
    OWL: squat kicks = 20
    NEWT: 8 cups of water per day = 20
    HP: exercise minutes = zero
    Monday to Sunday

    Monday starts a new week! Good luck everyone. Have a great week.

    Ok, Bron. You've convinced me that it's time to be a Gryffindor again! I've been ignoring my destiny. I'll check out your links and get started.

    It'll definitely be a great way for you to focus on exercise and food and take your mind off the pressure of the scale. :) There's no pressure in this house to lose, only to improve and do your best!

    So I guess it's good to start today then. Mondays will be the first day of my Gryffindor week. My SW is 192. I'll work hard on my owls and my newts!

    I know I'm late checking in, yesterday was crazy.

    Weight: up 2 lbs (pretty sure it was the chili I had for supper - water retention!)
    OWLs and NEWTs - none
    HPs - 98 (missed a run due to bad weather)

    Hope to do better next week! Missed my run yesterday because I overslept, but I got it in today!

    Just wondering if anyone else is waiting very impatiently for Pottermore.com to open? I was so sad when they moved it from start of October to the end of October... :cry:

    PREFECT TIME!

    Sorry, this is going to be rushed this week. I really need to work on my time management! Haha.

    Our Prefects this week are:

    Tbelivea (for weight loss) and MindyBlack (for OWLs & NEWTs)! Congratualtions, girls!

    ***Kelsue35 took herself out of the Prefect decisions for this week because she's using exercise to help her quit smoking. It's not a mistake, but she's coming to get you next week ;)

    If you ladies need badges, here ya go (change IMG to img):
    316180_581934039153_179201885_32311725_821292401_n.jpg

    And here's the chart:

    309682_588001140633_179201885_32362643_845603916_n.jpg

    Finish this week strong, Gryffs! It's really close so far, so any House could take it!

    NOVEMBER WEEK 1 OWLs & NEWTs:

    (Starting after check-in between 10/28-10/31
    and ending with check-in between 11/4-11/7)


    OWL (exercise): Dumbbell Military Press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=WNO0l2jertE
    You know the drill, Gryffs. One OWL earned per rep. No limit. Rack 'em up (but don't hurt yourself)!

    NEWT (food): Going back to basics. Let's get our veggies in. Aim for eating 3 types of veggies each day. They can be the same 3 veggies every day, if you'd like. 5 NEWTs for every day you get 3 veggies in. 3 NEWTs for every day you get 2 or less veggies in. So, you can earn anywhere from 3 NEWTs to 35 NEWTs this week. Ask if you have questions!

    ***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!

    You can also view it on the new blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/gryffindor-november-owls-newts-163339
