Hello fellow Gryffindors! Just popped in to say hi, and see how everyone has been doing. Is anyone else having trouble getting their full protein allowances in? I'm generally fine until I work out, and then I'm back to square 1. I'm getting better though!0

I Found this to be awesome and makes me want to go back to college. Just got a text from my niece. She is convinced Hogwarts
is hidden somewhere in the girls bathroom at the college she goes to. Apparently kutztown college is having a Yule ball just like in Harry potter! How awesome is that! I just had to share (spew). Who wants to go back to college w me if only for that reason?0 -

Hi, Gryffindors!
I've been, as I'm sure you've noticed, very preoccupied this week! I sincerely apologize for that.
I still haven't heard from the Slytherin Head of House about her November numbers, and I've got so much on my plate this weekend that I've put off posting the new challenges too long.
I really still don't have much time to post any. If someone wants to volunteer to think of some OWLs and NEWTs just for this week, I would be more than grateful! Otherwise, I'm going to keep them the same for this week.
I'm sorry it's been kinda off the last few weeks. Please bear with me. Not to make excuses, but for those of you who are new, my Dad just passed away almost a month ago, so it's been weird for me to get back into the routine. It won't always be this unorganized, I promise! I don't want anyone to drop out because they think I'm just a lousy Head of House

Thanks for the challenges! You are so sweet to help Bron!
Bron, you are not a lousy headmistress. Even Dumbledore needed help from McGonagall. We love you and appreciate all you do to keep our school running.0 -
Didn't really do much of anything this week. Been fighting off a cold like it's nobody's business. Finally got some antibiotics!

Here are the challenges we should have been doing for the last week, which we're now reporting on, to save everyone from looking them up.
OWL (exercise): Lunges!
Scoring: (one left + one right = 1 lunge). Each day you reach your daily goal you earn 5 OWLs, you earn 3 OWLs for reaching half way to your goal, and 1 OWL for trying but not reaching half way.
NEWT (food): Try to reach your protein goal as a minimum as many days as you can this week. 5 NEWTS per day, 35 NEWTS total possible for the week.
SPEW: Earn 1 point every time you post something encouraging or motivating or how your day is going in the Common Room. Up to 5 points possible per day, 35 points possible for the week.0 -
NOW - the exciting news for me - I've lost 1.75lb! :bigsmile:
(some of which was TOM but still tremendously exciting because it takes me so close to my goal)

According to Bronwenhilary's blog we're now trying out a different scoring mechanism, I think it's much fairer than a no limit challenge because it allows people of different levels of fitness to challenge themselves, so I hope it works out.OWLS: 1 LEG SQUATS... 1 RIGHT 1 LEFT = 1 REP. 1 POINT FOR EACH REP YOU DO WITH NO LIMITBronwenhilary
**For OWLs: Set yourself a daily goal of how many of the exercise you're going to aim to do. You earn 5 OWLs for meeting/exceeding your goal, 3 OWLs if you make it halfway to your goal, and 1 OWL if you try to do some but don't make it at least halfway to your goal.0 -

So not looking forward to NEWTS this week! I eat a lot of friut and veggies and that always blows my sugar over the goal, which in my opinion is really lame. That being said, I'll do my best.0

This is also posted by Bron on page two. So I think that's what we're going for now? Rather than just unlimited reps, setting our own goals to challenge ourselves while leveling the playing field a bit.0
