Hufflepuff Common Room

heathally

I tried to post yesterday, but then the room was locked and I couldn't find the new common room.

Okay, so last week really sucked for me, especially the weekend. Really struggling with motivation right now.

I had no owls all week,
No new HP for the latter part of the week,
14 newts for Wednesday and only 9 newts for Thursday...I stopped keeping track of things after that.
My weight on Friday was 141.4

But this is a new week and yesterday was better.

I stayed under fat and drank 10 glasses of water
I did 4 sets of reverse crunches.
I didn't get much time in for exercise, just 10 minutes of crunches and push-ups. But then having a migraine after class didn't help.

I like the idea of posting interesting things about myself, but not going to take the time to do that while I'm at work which is where I usually get on MFP, so I'll have to get online at home sometime soon. :embarassed:

Ok I didn't gain and I didn't lose. I stayed the same. I thought I was going to have a major meltdown at Koh's yesterday with my youngest two children. They were so bad. I got pulled over but was just given a warning. I also can't find my oldest halloween shirts. I was in a very bad mood.

The rangers won so my mood got way better. I got one of the best nights of sleep I have gotten in a really long time. I feel refreshed. I am going to workout on lunch. I set a goal to lose 5 pounds in the next 2 weeks by november 5th. I am wearing size 12 jeans and they fit loosely. I have started my christmas shopping.

I didn't get any abs in yesterday but I drank 10 glasses of water. I was bad on my fat. I am sorry for rambling.

edit to add I also have the 30 day shred so I would be up for a challenge.

momie0205

OK I am back. I worked out on lunch. I feel great. I plan to go walking tonight after dinner with my kiddos. Make some healthy dinner for the next few nights for me.

@lhurttubise- omg I’d love to join the navy! I’d want them to put in through nursing school and pay for me to finish my master’s.

I got the 30 DS dvd at walmart for 9.87. it was at target for 9.99 but they were all out and couldn’t wait for it to be shipped. I have to say I only did 4 days of it last week but I felt the difference in my back and arms immediately.

Made a bad choice yesterday for dinner. I got wings and ate all of them even after I split them up so I could have some for lunch today. that didn’t work out I just inhaled all of them and didn’t go to the gym and passed out. just glad I didn’t have indigestion.

I've finally lost another pound! I got bored early so decided to weigh myself to see if I'd put on weight and I've lost 1lb! Slow and steady wins the race Weight is now at 162lbs.

Stats for 25/10

OWLs - 3
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 25

I've got a week off of sixth form this week so exercise will be fairly minimal this week as I'll be cooped up in the house stressing and doing my coursework. I am visiting a friend in London on Thursday though, plus working on Saturday, so hopefully I'll get some good exercise minutes in there.

Well my week has gone from bad to worse....in terms of making good choices. True, this week is full of extra long days but still, I could make better choices when faced with eating out. I have another meeting tomorrow after work and we will be meeting for dinner. Yes, this college class I am taking may make me a better teacher but, it is killing my progress!!

For today:
0 house points (I'm pooped-going to bed early!)
over fat:-(
3 glasses of water
0 crunches

Epic FAIL!!!!

EEEEK!!

Owls: 1

momie0205

I did 150 crunches, I drank 8 glasses of water. I worked out 30 min. But I went over in fat darn't.

Molly_Louise

Lazy day from me today, sorry guys. I feel like I'm letting the side down. Tomorrow I am visiting my best friend in London, so I'm hoping to be able to walk a fair amount which will bring in some decent house points.

Stats for today

OWLs - 5
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 20

Weight is down to 161, so another lb off. 2lbs in 2 days, yay!

bumflapassassin

hello hello, i hope you're all well. Sorry i haven't been on top of my fitness whatevers for a little while. think i'm getting back on track. I read something about fat, reverse curls and water intake. drank 8 glasses of water and did 20mins exercise and 20 reverse curls today. I haven't been recording properly so am going to start again now.

so I think i have:
Owls - 2
newts - 13?
house points - 20

Going to try and do my crazy abs workout tomorrow so hopefully I'll rack up a few more owls

Also 5 things about myself:
1. I work with young offenders and am like a probation officer for kids. It's quite interesting work, not what I grew up wanting to be but I can't imagine being anything else.
2. When I was younger I wanted to play cello but I didn't know what it was called so I said "banjo" and did a cello action. My parents got hold of a banjo and I was like "what the hell is that?!" and then they got me a guitar and somehow I ended up learning violin, guitar and piano. I got pretty good on them and then once I reached grade 8 on 2 of them I just stopped playing.
3. I don't think I will ever get married or have kids. Not because I don't think I'm capable but because I don't think I could actually live with anyone.
4. I hate my feet. It's not that they're too big (I mean they are big) but I think I must have had ill fitting shoes as a kid because they're very wide and I have very big toe bones which look suspiciously like bunions. I wear trainers pretty much all the time.
5. I'm going to be 30 in Feb next year and I think I will have a themed party. My last themed party was "heroes and villians" which was really fun. I need to think of something as good, if not better but I can't think of anything! I guess I have a while before I need to send out the invites though!

Ugh today was rough. My tummy is killing a combination of severe constipation and TOM sorry for TMI Today was a totally failure. Over on calories and fat and sodium and everything else. I might have drank 3 cups of water ... Maybe I was mostly drinking alcohol.

Jenn_W

No idea where I have been.... So I am just going to do totals from 10/23-10/26....

OWLs - 1 (Seriously. I have only done a set of 10. OMG! Hopefully in bed tonight I will punch out a few more sets.... that is pitiful!)
NEWTs - 54 (I decided to eat myself sick Monday... For real, too much food I had a gallbladder attack. Moving on.... Ugh!)
House Points - 428

I am super sad it is getting colder.... I suck at riding my bike in general... Add in the cold and the Chicago "Windy-City" crap... EPIC FAIL. A few times today I thought I might actually be pushed backwards by the wind.
**Random thought.... Green Tea/ Peppermint tea have been my BFF's this week.... Stupid Brrr Cold!
Have an Awesome rest of the week Everyone!!

(I do own JM30DS.... If we do that challenge....)

skinnysuzie

Good morning, Here are my stats for yesterday:

A little better, as least I had some house points yesterday. Still in the red, hopefully by the end of the week I will be in the green 8 )

momie0205

Hey folks glad I am not the only one slacking. I drank 7glasses of water. 20 min of exercise and no crunches. I went over in fat. I guess I see where I need to pick up now.

lhurtubise

Hello Hufflepuffs! All I can say that God tomorrow is Friday! What a crazy week I have been having! I am over calories today for sure, but I made my fat goal. I drank at least 80 ozs of water and I did Taekwondo today. I plan on doing one of my exercise dvds later. I am excited about that!

Molly_Louise

Midnight here in England, I am exhausted! Quick check in here then I am off to bed. Today I went to visit my best friend who lives in London, which is 80+ miles away from my house as she is at uni there. I went with best friend #2 and it was amazing. Can't describe it any other way than amazing. If you ever get a chance to see the musical We Will Rock You, see it, because it is phenomenal.

Monday- 150 reverse crunches, under fat, 12 glasses of water, 248 exercise points
Tuesday- 100 reverse crunches under fat 8 glasses of water 186 exercise points
Wednesday- 0 reverse crunches , under fat 9 glasses of water 278 exercise points.
Thursday-100 reverse crunches. I am under fat plus 10 glasses of water, and 212 exercise points for today.

I exercise a ton on the weekend. I have 2 races this weekend and some boot camp classes so I should be able to put up some good exercise points for the team this weekend.

lhurtubise

So Griffyndor House selects Prefects each week. I was thinking maybe we could select Prefects every 2 weeks so that each person would have a chance to choose the exercise and the food challenge. If we can pick every 2 weeks I would have less to keep up with, but this is a democracy so let's vote. Let me know what you want to do by Sunday please! I will announce the new Prefects on Friday and they can start posting the challenges Saturday. Thanks Hufflepuffs!

I'm definitely up for this, so this idea gets my vote!

This sounds like a good idea. I vote for changing Prefects every 2 weeks.

lhurtubise

I am going to go ahead and announce the next batch of Prefects. Unless someone did 5,000 reverse crunches or drank 25 cups of water today the Prefects won't change. If that happened I apologize and I will correct the mistake. I am not sure if the Prefects will be for 2 weeks or a month. I will know by Monday when everyone votes. The Prefects are Molly_Louise and Jenn_W !!! Congratulations ladies. Amazing job in October! Here is your badge ...

msrobinson77

Yay so glad you decided to join! We have weekly challenges and we check in with our weight between Friday and Monday. You can check in with your weight any day during that time. We also have an exercise challenge and a food challenge each week. This week we are doing reverse crunches and monitoring our fat intake. So for 1 set of 10 reverse crunches you earn 1 OWL and if you stay under your fat goal for the day you earn 5 NEWTs. You also earn 1 NEWT for each glass of water you drink. The OWLs and NEWTs are used to determine the "Prefects" who choose the weekly challenges. You can post your OWLs and NEWTS daily or every other day or whatever works for you really. We also report our exercise minutes as house points for a inter-house competition we compete in. You can also just have conversation here ... Complain, report NSVs ... anything. We are here to support each other. We did something where we said 5 interesting things about ourselves so feel free to do that. If I have confused you I am sorry lol ask me any questions you need to. For clarification on the OWLs and Newts here is an example:

10/25-
OWLs- 3 (3 sets of 10 reverse crunches)
NEWTs- 13 ( under fat= 5 NEWTs + 8 glasses of water)
HP- 60 ( 1 point for each minute of exercise)

Hope this helps! We are so happy to have you! :happy:
