    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!!

    OMG! Love your new picture. You are so beautiful!

    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

    H.P - 0

    14/12

    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...

    Hello Hufflepuffs. I'd like you join this house. Is this where I do that or do we have to be sorted? Thanks.

    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.

    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' weekend

    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?

    Welcome :smile:
    You are correct
    you can weigh in on Sat, Sun or Mon. Just make sure your weight is posted by Monday evening
    The OWL and NEWT challenges are usually posted on Sat and run from Sun through Sat
    hope this helps!
