Thanks guys!
That all seems doable, yup. And the deadline for the challenges is Friday, correct?
Also I'm definitely joining...I'm a Huffleclaw, but with more Hufflepuff tendencies, plus I got sorted to hufflepuff on pottermore. Basically, though, we're the best.0 -
thanks queeda

10 owls

Queeda, thanks for posting the NEWTs challenge. I'm not sure what happened to Charlotte either, but I hope she comes back soon

Got an email from "Adam" at the gym wondering if I need some help getting back into my routine. I think I do but I'm not sure he can help. A few months ago I was killing it with the gym time but not any more. I just find it difficult to get motivated to go - any excuse and I'll skip it. Once I'm there I start off thinking I'll do 30 mins on a machine and then reduce the mins to about 15 after doing 10. Does anyone else have this problem?0 -

i have the same problem! i end up talking myself out of not going to the gym or shortening my workout. but what keeps me going most of the time is wanting to move and dance like shakira so when i'm talking myself off the ellitpical i just put some of her music on and i get my intensity back.0 -
Yikes this has been a tough two weeks. I've been making super crappy choices and totally justifying them in my head. Well, i deserve that cookie, right. I have absolutely no self control when eating socially! I really overindulgded this weekend and have gained a pound. Booooo! I'm really hoping it's just water weight, but maybe it's the reality check I need to get my butt moving!!0

Welcome to logic!
Charlotte--glad your okay...and as I look around the living room with the pile of presents to be wrapped (sigh...)...at least I finally managed to get shopping mostly done (thank goodness for Amazon!)
Molly---I hope you are feeling better soon
bumflapassass---something I struggle with (now I am doing fine though). Workouts are infectious, and once I get myself going into a routine, then I don't want to stop. Set some small goals you can achieve like gym time 15 min 3x a week. Also mix up your activity, no rule saying you can't use more than one machine per workout...if you get bored with one after 5 minutes switch to a bike, or try a class
Mandy--love the new picture. This is a bad time of year...it is never too late to "get your butt moving" and escape the holiday trap

Hi all, sorry I've been a bit quiet recently. I'm still battling the illness I've had all month and I don't seem to be getting any better which is not good news! However, I'm trying to exercise as much as possible, but I haven't been able to do any crunches since sunday as I have a chest infection and it really hurts to do a crunch. However, here are my stats

Hey all---finally got the wrapping done...3 boxes to ship, and about 40 little care packages to make this weekend for my admin/support staff and a few cards to get out. I have abandoned the notion of Christmas cards this year to all but a few friends and family. I haven't received one yet...beginning to wonder if others have the same idea I have or maybe they are just way behind like me!...OMG will this ever end...

No need to be sorted. Welcome to the group!0 -
Prefects time to switch duties ...
Charlotte we need a exercise challenge and Bumflapassassin we need a food challenge. Please post at some point on Saturday. Thanks0 -
oops, didn't post since tuesday...got a bit busy
numbers for the week so far (although I'm about to go to the gym to talk to my trainer about motivation and the benefits of going backwards on the cross trainer):
155 newts
21 owls
193 house points
Weighed in at the same stupid weight again...may have something to do with the chocolate and cheese that I sprinkle on everything!
Slept with the central heating on last night and feel pretty naff this morning. My nose feels like it might bleed and my throat is sore - boo! Got Christmas celebrations with friends this evening though so I imagine I'll start feeling better after a while. Will post food challenge and my updated stats later.0 -
Right, going away this afternoon for the evening (to eat, drink and be merry) so won't be able to post my newts until tomorrow but I've visited my trainer at the gym and gained a load more house points:
165 NEWTs
27 OWLs
343 House Points
This week's NEWT challenge:
5 NEWTs per 8+ cups of water consumed
1 NEWT per portion of fruit and veg consumed (maximum of 5 per day)
Sorry it's a bit dull but I'm not drinking enough water and I can't be the only one!
Have a rockin' weekend0 -

I'm new to the group and I like to clarify how things work. Do I understand this correctly?
NEWTs are food related challenges
OWLs are workout related challenges
House Points are the minutes you've worked out
What day of the week is weigh in day?0 -

Welcome
You are correct

The OWL and NEWT challenges are usually posted on Sat and run from Sun through Sat
hope this helps!0 -
