Thanks CarolinaGirl, i agree that stretching is beneficial; I used to get really awful cramps in my legs and feet but since exercising and stretching more I don't suffer half as much as I used to and I'm sure it's helping me not get shin splints too. I'm also able to touch the ground and impress people with my bendy-ness. I think stretching can also straighten you out and lengthen your limbs but that may be my imagination.
By the way I don't think spelling mistakes are a massive problem; although it's good to check what you're putting out there, luckily there aren't any obnoxiously vocal spelling and grammar fascists in Hufflepuff :happy:0 -

I LOVE the challenges for this week. How creative! I did so well with the sodium challenge. I was under everyday. The exercise not so much. Can I blame it on my trip to New York? The interview in New York was definitely the hardest one I have ever had in my life. (I know I am only 24, but I have been on quite a few interviews). I have always received a job offer after an in person interview and for the first time in my life I am doubtful. I really do not feel as though it went well with the last administrator that I interviewed with. A gentlemen in the front office assured me that this was just her personality, but she seemed quite cold and unwelcoming which is VERY unusual in elementary schools (at least in my experience). Most people are usually bubbly and smiling all the time. Anyway I will find out tomorrow for sure so I am hoping they send the e-mail out earlier rather than later so that I do not have to wait and suffer all day. I had an amazing time in NY though so I am very happy I went. I also didn't want to regret not interviewing for this position in like a year so I can check that off of my list ... On to the next adventure. Everyone that participated in the 30 day shred challenge please post your stats when you get a chance there is really no rush. I am thinking of repeating this challenge for December. I only actually did the 30 day shred 12 days in November. Oops :ohwell: I am getting caught up on post right now, but everyone is doing well!0

Good morning Huffles,
As of yesterday, I am finished with my graduate class:drinker: I feel great about my final exam and presentation that I completed yesterday-I can finally breathe and get back to focusing on my weight loss goal.
On a not so positive note, I went to a friend's holiday party last night and couldn't stop eating. She made little baked pretzels with hersheys and an M&M melted on top and I must have eaten 10 of them. Once I got started it was like I was in some sugar induced trance and I literally couldn't stop munching! Woke up this morning feeling chubby and guilty. Glad we didn't start our new snack challenge yesterday-I'd owe the group NEWTs!! Here's my stats since my last check in:
110 House points
0 OWLS
11 Newts
Weight: 136.5
Good luck Queeda and have a great Sunday everyone!

Newts: 4

I must be better about exercise this week, I am planning on trying Zumba tomorrow night--am going to try really hard to be home from work on time to make the 7pm class--msrobinson keeps telling me how much I would love it--I did get Zumba 1 and 2 for Wii and can not wait to give them a try as well 8 ).. Hope everyone has a great week.

Aloha Huffles!
I hope you've all had a wonderful day. Today was my last day off until December 19, so I have spent the whole day doing absolutely nothing! It was great :laugh:

Weight is down 1lb to 157, yay. This week I am working in a school, which is a 1.5 miles away from my house. I will walk home from it and I can do the walk in 30 mins so hoping to lose weight through that.
Best of luck to you all for a new week!0 -

lately i've been do fatigued. i think it might be this new dose of blood pressure medication or i'm not getting enough sleep at night. i just laid down to take a nap before i went to the gym about 4p and i woke up about 1 in the morning. nsv i fit into a size 20 jeans now.0 -
Yes, Molly - 16 NEWTs is correct
My numbers for today are:
OWLs - 32 (I stretch a lot!) - 8 of these were the same stretch on different limbs so do they count? If not I need to recalculate...probably to 28.
NEWTs - 19 (and feeling proud!)
House Points - 60
We're dangerously close to Christmas and I've just looked through my diary; looks like I'm committed to 8 separate celebrations in the next 3 weeks (not including my niece's birthday) so things are going to get difficult!
By the way, for those that are interested the toilet seat was a roaring success :drinker:0 -
I did well with the snacking challenge today. I need to hop on the stretching though.

Prefects,
I had 3 "unhealthy" snacks yesterday so that leaves me with 17 "snack points" left. How are we converting points to Newts? Does this mean I have 17 Newts?0 -
Weigh-In - 161.8
I am starting to get sick.... Blah!
I quit mid-day tracking on Saturday and haven't tracked since. I suck at weekend's!! So no anything for 12/3 & 12/4.
Yay for Mondays!!0 -

Hi all,
I'm awfully ill once again. I've always been susceptible to illnesses and I know at this time of year illnesses and viruses etc are going around, but I want a break from it all. My body aches, and now I have conjunctivitis to top everything off. Gahh.

Sorry if I'm not active on the common room for a few days, I'll probably only be logging in from my iPod app. Love to you all xox0 -

Hi Everyone,
Just found the groups feature on MFP so this is my first post.
Sunday 12/4/2011: HP=0, OWLS =0, Newts= 19
I was flying home from a visit with my friend in Denver, CO. In the morning we went window shopping downtown and walked around for about an hour and a half. We were strolling pretty slowly so I wasn't sure if that counts as exercise.
Monday 12/5/2011: weight= 161.8lb, HP=60, OWLS= 4, NEWTs= 190 -
Prefects,

My numbers for the week so far:
OWLs - 58
