    Hey hey ... good evening. It's been a good day. Managed to stay good with the eating even though the three course lunch at the spa was a treat, drank all my water and then some, swam some laps, and did 40 JUMPING JACKS today ... wow, haven't done those in years ... I need a better bra :) Take care all.

    Oh ... and have we decided what day our way in is???

    Sounds like a great day! I feel your pain about the bra... Ugh!

    I have your points entered on to the spreadsheet!

    As far as the weigh-in goes, you can weigh-in and report it any time between Friday and Monday - that's the same for every week. The Houses all weigh-in at different times, but it's always within those days.

    I posted on the great hall post, but since if I did join the challenge, I'd be a hufflepuff (woo!), so I'll ask here too :)

    Basically, I am going to school and working nights right now so I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with all the challenges, so I may not be able to participate as much as I'd like. I was wondering if it would be ok if I could still try to give this a go?

    Absolutely! Just post your current weight here and you're in!

    Here's the blog post with the School and House rules.

    Welcome aboard! :D

    Yay! Thanks!

    And it looks like we're doing a jumping jack challenge?
    Ok, so this is going to sound crazy, but back when I was in driving school, they told us to do these things called cross crawls, where you lift your left knee and meet it with your right hand and do the same with the other hand and knee, so you're kind of crossing over your body while hopping, if that makes sense. Apparently this is supposed to help integrate the right and left hemispheres of the brain, so you can have a better connection between both sides and be better coordinated. so we literally did these for 2 min before we got in cars and dodged cones and did driving obstacle courses. But apparently doing jumping jacks actually does the opposite with your brain hemispheres? I just tried to googled it and came across blogs and other sites, but noting along the lines of a scientific study, so it could be a bunch of hoopla. But you never know!

    So I may do some cross crawls after my jumping jacks, is it cool if I count those too?

    EDIT: The challenge goes on till tomorrow, duh! Nevermind :)

    Sorry I'm possibly running a little late in updating but I haven't felt well the last couple days. Feeling a little better now, though :)

    I did manage to do 40jumping jacks and get all my water in, though!

    I drank my 8 cups of water today. And I gott 40 minutes on the elliptical (300 calories!)! I haven't worked out for that long or hard in a REALLY long time, and usually I can't go more than 20 or so on the elliptical before my feet get numb. I still had to take off my shoes for the last 10 min but that's more than usual! Yay!

    I completed 25 minutes of exercise today, including 100 crunches and 100 leg lifts and walking on the treadmill, 11 cups of water, and stayed within my calorie goal! :D WooHoo! Off to a good start!

    Your shoes are too small. Get a new pair 1/2-1 size larger than normal to account for feet swelling during exercise. :) Make sure to get roomy toes.

    Ohh! I didn't even realize feet swell during exercise! I do have wide feet, but I think that posture might be my problem--I find myself sliding forward in them and to one side a bit too so it may be too much pressure on the balls and toes of my feet? They're also running shoes (Nike BRS 1000 from two years ago--mom gave them to me cause she only wore them a couple times and prefers new balance, and we wear the same shoe size, though her feet are wider), and I should probably invest in some cross trainers.
