Weight remained the same, and I didn't log any exercise. Had some personal, non-internet issues to take care of. No NEWTS, no OWLS.

Gonna hit it hard this week now that I can rest easy hehe.

Hi, new to the HP challenge and Slytherin's! A little bit about myself, I am in the US Air Force stationed at FE Warren AFB, WY and have bee serving for almost 14 years. I am 31 years old as of July. I love to work out and run, I plan on running the Air Force marathon next September so I have almost a whole year to train.

I'll do my weigh in's and minutes on Mondays. My starting weight today was 175 lbs. Heading out for a 6 mile run now!

I think most people are PMing their results to MacSkillz, that is why there haven't been as many posts. Although what is the new challenge for this week?

Chaosdrone

Since shes not here at the moment lets do this for the weeks challenge.

Crunches
0 - 99 = 0 OWLs
100 - 199 = 1 OWL
200 - 299 = 2 OWLs
300 - 399 = 3 OWLs
400 - 499 = 4 OWLs
500 + = 5 OWL

Newts
Simple Keep under all the food goals for the week do not go over

1 day- 1 newt
2 day- 2 newts
3-4 day- 4 newts

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around this week. Had some personal and school issues that I had to take care of.

But I've got some great news for us all!

We're in the lead for the House Cup!!
Also, WE WON THE QUIDDITCH MATH THIS WEEK!! And we're in the lead to win the Quidditch Cup for this month!
Here are the results that were just posted:



We are slowy but surely loosing members. :frown: When I reported numbers this week, it was only for 7 people. So if you know of anyone that is looking to join a challenge, PLEASE recruit them and send'em our way!!



As for OWLs and NEWTs, I know it's a little late in the week so I'll keep them simple:

OWLs: walk/run/jog a 5K (3.1 miles) by Monday. If you prefer to bike, do a 10K (6.2 miles). You'll get 5 OWLs if you complete it.

NEWTs: For the rest of the week, stay under your calorie goal (including exercise). When reporting this number also, include your days from the beginning of the week.
0 days = 0 NEWTs
1 day = 1 NEWT
2 - 3 days = 2 NEWTs
4 days = 3 NEWTs
5 - 6 days = 4 NEWTs
7 days = 5 NEWTs

I guess I already have 5 OWLs I did a 5.5 mile run 2 days ago and a 4.6 mile run today. Going to do a half marathon on either Saturday or Sunday not sure yet. Glad to be a part of the Slytherin house!

tried to help in your absense

emmabeckemeyer1

I have already completed the 3.1 mile run and the 6.1 mile bike too. I will run again this morning and hope to do it again! I am really struggling with logging my food. I took a week off and now its hard to start back up again! I need some inspiration! I am going to "body pump" this morning to add more strength training into my exercise.

Troy67

Hey everyone. 5 Newts, 5 Owls and 1209 exercise minutes. 3 pounds lost. Hope everyone had a great week.

emmabeckemeyer1

Chaosdrone

4 newts 3 owls and i am doing a 5k this friday 120 mins worked out caleries comming soon

MacSkillz

Thanks to those of you that have reported already! I'll get the numbers sent to our Headmistress tomorrow and we should have the results back on Wednesday of who is in the lead!



OWLS: We'll go back to the Abs this week. Instead of doing regular crunches, I'd like you all to try this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uomdpE8VXXc&feature=youtu.be
It is pretty intense and really really works your abs. Try to complete it 5 times this week - each day you complete it, you will earn 1 OWLS. If you do it for 6 or 7 days, you can earn extra OWLS, but don't go over board. Make sure to give your abs some rest!


NEWTS: Drink at least 10 cups of water for 5 days this week. Each day you do it, you'll earn 1 NEWT. Again, if you do it all 7 days, you can earn extra NEWTS.

Good Luck and have fun!!

WEight remained the same again.

About 5 hours of exercise, but I didn't log it because it was just psycho cleanng my house.
No newts, no owls.

erinkeely4

Sorry for the long hiatus... but I'm back!

-Steady 109lbs all week (no loss, no gain).
-Total exercise minutes of 768, for a 3028 total calorie burn.
-5 OWLs (I love this one because I already walk a ton!)
-2 NEWTs (not my best week...)

emmabeckemeyer1

Did the video...not sure I am a fan but at least I did it...I am not going to count that in my exercise calories or minutes though.

How is everyone else? I feel like none of us chat....is that in a different thread that I am missing?

MacSkillz

I don't think a lot of people are very chatty. :ohwell:
There is not a different thread for it... only this one. I kept it as one because I didn't want it to get confusing.

But thanks for getting a convo going!!!
As for myself, I'm sick. Boooo. I have a viral infection that is kicking my butt. Good thing though: I haven't gained any weight so far which is really exciting for me. I'm still sticking to eating the best I can with what I have. I was bad and made brownies yesterday because I felt like doing something, but I was good and only had 1!!

how about everyone else?? Let's get some discussion going here!!

Chaosdrone

very tired and sore today . i did my job corps weight liftinging clubs conditioning last night and im hurting

emmabeckemeyer1

I'm sorry you are sick! That is no fun!
I have a slight cold which is driving me NUTS. It's not painful just annoying...can taste anything :ohwell:

james8008

Good morning everyone! How is everyone's day going? I am stuck out in the missile field right now. It's snowing here in the western parts of Nebraska. Hopefully you feel better Mac, its ok to splurge every now and then with some brownies and sweets. Last week I had a butterfinger lol, it was my first time to eat a candy bar in like 3 months but it was nice having it. That sucks Emma that you can't taste anything! Hopefully everyone has a good day!

james8008

I got another 5 miles in tonight . I've ran 64 miles so far this month. How is everyone else doing?

erinkeely4

I'm doing pretty well. Super, super busy... Lots of work, and lots of fun things coming up this weekend, but I'm still kind of looking forward to the weekend being over so that I can have more workout time! Is that crazy or what? :P

Sorry to hear about everyone who is getting sick... I have a friend who got a stomach virus recently, and I just hope I never get one again... I got one in 2008 and I'm scared of them because it was HORRIBLE. Hope none of you have that!!

Exciting thing: Got DirecTV today so that I can watch football on Sundays

james8008

Good morning everyone! Today is my Friday! I get 4 days off when I go home today. I work out in the missile field for 4-6 days at a time for the Air Force, it's been a long 6 days! Have a good weekend everyone!
