I am stuck in bed waiting for MRI had acute attack yesterday ended up at doc. Having the test next Monday . So won't have any exercise this week at all except walking short periods around house.
My positive is I am determined not to let this take me down this time. Went thru this 12 yrs ago and had operation and tons of pain.
My body is going to heal and I am determined with no surgery this time.
Grateful for my iPad last time I only had desktop and couldn't sit to use it.
I am eating real heathy so that part is good.0 -
Oooh, that sound bad erin! but I agree its a good thing to at least know.
I would like to have positives to post today but I went shopping for new pants and now I'm feeling a bit down on everything sooooo hopefulyl i'll have something tomorrow.
It sounds bad, but it was a blessing in disguise! Pain and difficulties are like ugly jagged rocks that, when you get to the core of them, become diamonds
... can I be more cheesy?? Haha XP
Sorry to hear about your pants shopping episode... BEEN THERE! I used to HATE shopping. Every time I went shopping all I would come away from it with is low self esteem
But that's what motivates us to change, right? 0 -

Sorry to hear about the health challenge!! I hope you heal well and quickly. Glad you have a good attitude!0 -
Positive for Thursday: My hair looks good and I got a bunch of compliments on it today Yay new haircut!
I want to hear some positives, guys and gals!! Do I have to wait until all of your week check-ins? ;-D0 -
My positive is my pain level went way down today and I owe it all to a book I read called Healing Your Back. It's about mind body and how a lot of pain is caused from repressed stress and just knowing that can heal you...sounds weird but I was in extreme pain last night reading that but I thought I believe this, every time my back has gone out was during a stressful time.
And today I feel a ton better with just twinges of pain.
So my positive is I have a strong body!! :laugh:0 -
Positive for this week today was:
Was paranoid for a couple weeks. I switched over to maintenance mode and started doing the strength training and changed macros upped carbs, cals, etc that I talked about with helloitsdan. He told me I might gain 5 pounds or so, but it was water weight and not to worry. I was up 5.4 pounds for the last week, but today I was back down to 171 and can see visual improvement in my arms, chest, legs, belly, etc and the skin is definitely toning up as well. Thanks Dan!!0 -
That's great Troy!
My positive today is I was up most of the day and on my way to normal. Pain very low. Listened to some great talks on YouTube from Dr Sarno on the mind body thing.
It's working for me!0 -

That is AWESOME! This way of being with pain really helped me when I was going through some really intense stomach problems.0 -

Weight wise had a great week!
Last Sun: 145
This Sun: 142.2
Only about 60 min exercise, that's adding all my little walks around house could be more no way to tell. 0 owls and 4 newts.
Really tried hard with eating small heathy meals and it worked and I think I lost more because I was more faithful to take natural fiber powder with juice daily.0 -
Positive for Sunday: Strength and stamina! I noticed a lot of improvement in both today! And I can now do the yoga head stand that I had as a goal for this week!!
Check In:
Lost 0.5 lbs this week.
1175 exercise minutes (4750 calories burned). That's 32 minutes more per day than last week.
7 OWLs.
7 NEWTs.
Looking forward to this weeks goals! XD0 -
Positive for yesterday: losing 1 pound after I had reached my goal weight. LOL
1 pound lost this week down to 170.
7 newts and 7 owls. 1185 exercise minutes for 9616 calories burned.
Hope everyone is doing great!!0 -
Hey guys. Once again a not so good week for me. I'm having a hard time balancing school, work, relationship and exercise together. So I only got 60 min of exercise last week. No weight change either.0
-
Jonzo at least you didn't gain...sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
I had MRI today went better than I thought, I was more afraid of being in car as that caused my last acute attack. Everything went fine. I bet my results are ok because most paun is gone.
I am finally leaving the house for something fun...bookclub tonight.0 -

Hello Slytherin!! Way to go last week! You totally rocked it!!
I've got the OWLs and NEWTs all set to go for next week so you can all get ahead start!
NEWTS– Plan your meals ahead of time for at least 3 days this week. Post your plan the day before – let us see what you’re eating! If there is something specific you are working to get more of, like fiber for example, make sure to include that in your post so other house members can offer suggestions for you! 1 NEWT for each day you post, 1 NEWT for each day you stick to your plan, and then 1 free NEWT because you’re all awesome!
OWLS – Try something new this week! If you just stick to the elliptical or treadmill at the gym, try taking a yoga or zumba class if you haven’t before. Or if you’re big into the strength training, find some new moves you haven’t done before. Bicep curls can get boring, so what other moves can you do to work out those biceps?
3 OWLS for doing the new activity and then 4 OWLS for posting about what you did, why you liked it or didn’t like it, and if you did like it, will you start to incorporate this into your regular routine?
And CONGRATS to poorcopies on the engagement!! :drinker:0 -

So everyone, the January totals are up!!! We won the House Cup!! Way to go everyone!!! :drinker: :happy:
Also, one again, Troy won Head Boy!! Congrats Troy!
Here is the post directly from the Great Hall that Bron posted today! Please note that she originally posted that we won both cups, but if you look at the results, Gryffindor actually won the Quidditch Cup. I was nice and let her know. I don't want to steal the glory that isn't ours (even though I know that's not true Slytherin fashion! haha!).Here's the (incredibly long awaited) JANUARY RESULTS!
I'm just going to skip to the end, here, and give the totals:
It looks like Slytherin takes the House AND Quidditch Cups! Congrats, Snakes!
Great work in all the other Houses, too!
Our Head Boy and Girl are as follows:
Kelsue35 from Gryffindor with 5495 HPs
and
Troy67 from Slytherin with 4751 HPs
***Badges and Cups in both sizes are at the bottom of the rules blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/hogwarts-inter-house-challenge-1436130 -

I'm writing a critical essay over it - 15-20 pages - for my senior seminar English class this year. The story and characters fascinate me to no end. It should be interesting.0 -
Hello again another Sunday!
Weight…
Last week 142.2
This week 140.2
I am still doing good with food small portions throughout the day. About 200 min exercise, still sciatica stuff… did we have Newts and Owls last week? well i know owls was 0 since its extra exercise. Newts? depends on if it was posting if it was around 4 or 5 I guess.

Hello all! New to Hogwarts and would love to join Slytherin! :happy:0

Hey, everybody.
Maintained at 170 pounds even with increasing calories, carbs, etc with new strength training/maintenance plan.
1140 exercise minutes for 8718 calories burned.
4 newts for sticking to my plan all week. I have been working 56 hours per week so haven't had time to actually post about it. But I definitely have to plan everything out for the week ahead of time.
7 owls as I have just gotten my own olympic weight set with squat rack. Have been doing the stronglifts 5x5 program and have incorporated pullups, leg curls, preacher curls into the workout.
Hope you are all doing great!!
