    See kids pick up on our habits at a VERY early age. And How cute are you two!! :-)

    *As a mother as well - JJ have become an issue!! I think I need poise pads or depends to do them!! I go to the bathroom before I do them, do 100, go to the bathroom AGAIN, repeat. * The joys of motherhood. So many wonderful things... and then a few not so wonderful!!

    Hey Huffles!

    You will never, EVER see me awake at 9:20 am on a Saturday... EVER again, so enjoy this! Haha. I'm drinking so much water lately that my bladder won't let me sleep! TMI? Maybe, but I'm sure most of you have been there!

    We're continuing with Jumping Jacks for the rest of the day, but let's take a vote on our (full)weekly challenge to start tomorrow until September 3rd!

    Remember, this is the last time we'll vote for our weekly challenges. From next week on out, our challenges will be selected by the Prefects. First set of Prefects will be chosen based on OWL and NEWT scores on September 1st.

    Heeeere are your options!

    For our exercise challenge to begin August 28th and end September 3rd, would you prefer...

    Squats
    Crunches, or
    Push-ups?

    Also taking ideas for our food challenge. Let 'em fly, and we'll settle on one later.

    I'd be down with anything. I like cruches because I know a few variations of them (thanks to various workout dvds and high school gym) so I'd be less likely to get bored and that is the area I need to tone up the most. but pushups would be a challenge for me too, since I am SO BAD at them, even the modified ones! and I like squats. so whatever you guys decide, I'm down :)

    I'd prefer crunches but I could probably use the stupid push-ups the most! Ugh!

    And I am right there with you and drinking soooo much water up at 6am on Saturday, because I could wait no longer... Sigh!

    **I am still giggling at the dancing chicken nugget guy... :-)

    Hahaha! I have to go to the bathroom just before I do them otherwise it turns out bad!
    I just had my daughter (1st child) March4 so I wasn't exactly aware of the consequences! hahaha WOOPS.

    Hi guys!

    Sorry I haven't been posting much, I've been unwell for the past few days. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm hoping that by Monday I'll be right as rain! No weight lost this week which sucks, I'm going to rethink my weight loss goal and I might work at a slower pace to achieve it. I'm struggling to meet my daily calorie intake of 1220, I'm barely eating 1000 a day which isn't good for me, nor my weight loss so if anyone has any tips on how to increase this (foods to eat etc), then I'd really appreciate that. I thought I ate a lot (3 meals a day, plus snacks!) but clearly the amount I was eating before wasn't the issue, just the type(s) of food. Gah. I'll get there eventually!

    No other news from me. Thinking of you all on the US east coast, stay safe x
