    Second question where is everybody its getting kinda lonely here in the commoms room....
    Been travelling a lot, now going through a bit of a rough patch, busy at work, fell off the wagon, somehow managed to put weight on, and am generally struggling to get motivated.

    But I am still here and I will be back to my old self soon, a few nights of undisturbed sleep will do me the world of good. :)

    sleep is good...... and I know you can do it!!!

    Hello everyone!

    I hope everyone has been well! I've been away due to my very random schedules and just lack of motivation to exercise and monitor what I am eating :( Yesterday was my birthday and I decided to weigh myself (not sure why I chose my birthday to do so >_< thought I should see where I am at at 28)... I put back all of my weight back on. I'm pretty bummed out at my performance. I do good for a few weeks them it always goes in the toilet because of stress, lack of time and money :sad: ; I get discouraged quick unfortunately.

    Anyone got some good tips to getting back on track? I usually start with baby steps, but maybe I need to switch to hardcore boot-camp mode? :frown: I certainly don't want to tackle more then I can chew, but I wanna lose weight and start feeling better about myself

    and this weeks challenge sorry it's late again

    Food - Monitor your sodium levels! Each participant should have the sodium column in their diary and for every day they are 'under' the sodium 'goal', they should award themselves. For every day that the individual is under their sodium goal, they should award themselves 5 NEWTs (or OWLs, depending on the house's usual tracking system). As well as that, for every glass of water an individual has they should award themselves 1 NEWT/OWL, so 1 NEWT/OWL per glass.
    Exercise - This week's exercise is crunches! For every set of 10 crunches an individual completes, they should award themselves 5 OWLs. A bonus 5 OWLs can be awarded for 60 minutes of exercise completed, and that can be any form exercise.

    Hey Gryffindor!

    Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. :) Haven't seen a lot of posting or updates on the spreadsheet. Would love to see you all back in it -- we're missing you in the house updates. Hogwarts just isn't Hogwarts without the Gryffindors, right? ;)

    Let me know if I can help!
