Present and ready to kick some butt!

So how is everyone doing with the weekly challenge so far? we are half way through the week.. what kind of workouts is everyone doing?

for me, well i met my water goals, but i ended up getting kinda sick so i've only been able to do walks for my daily work outs..

Been doing great! I have probably drank about 15 glasses of water every day this week (trying to flush out a bad lunch from Monday). MWF I do my strength training workout from New Rules of Lifting for Women, Tues and Sat I do a pace/tempo run (interval running), and Thursday I do a slow endurance jog. I normally take Sundays off but for this challenge I'll probably just go for a 30 minute walk with the dogs. =]

Doing well. Water is a non-issue for me - I usually end up drinking about 160oz of water a day. I don't drink anything else though, so it is easy to get a lot of water in.
For workouts this week...I have done at least 30-45 minutes on the elliptical each day. I did a little strength (some pushups and chest flys and triceps) on Monday and last night I did a TX2 workout. Tonight I have a busy schedule and won't be able to fit in a workout, so I spent my lunch hour taking a very brisk walk.
The sun is shining today and it is actually warm out - this type of weather combined with the lifestyle changes I have made since joining MFP and I feel like I could fly. Awesome!!

Me too. He has and always will be my favorite and it makes me angry what she did to him in the end. I would have gladly traded in Ron and several other of the Weasley clan and Harry too (after he beat Voldy of course) if only he could have lived!

Exactly! I am the same way. I would have traded in Hermione first (the movie version of that character is sooooooo irritating/the book version isn't too bad)

I know, movie!Hermione is quite annoying, but I can identify with Book!Hermione. I love reading and learning new things. I seriously think if she wasn't a muggle-born she would have been sorted into Slytherin. She came up with some really sneaky ideas!

I hope everyone is having a great week!! Today I did 4 miles with the dog, I'm about to do abs and arms with Chris freytags 10 lb slim down (free ondemand!) after dinner, so thatl be another hour.. Water intake is great, I usually chug 3 glasses of water right before the next meal, helps me get full:)

Is anyone interested in doing weekly challenges? Like 15 miles a week to start with?and no eating after 9pm? Something loke that.. But i guess itll be discussed Sunday.I think we can all really help motivate eachother, the weather is getting perfect:)

I'm excited to get to know all my fellow slytherins, gosh I just love harry potter!

I loooooooove Evanna Lynch. I think she's an AWESOME Luna. But, that's beside the point.

As far as the challenge goes, water isn't an issue with me because its all I drink anymore. I usually get 12-14 glasses of water in a day, but there are some times when I feel like I'm water logged. I have a Nalgene bottle, so I just feel refilling it all day long.

Activity-wise, I do Couch to 5K, The Biggest Loser DVDs the Biggest Loser - Ultimate Workout game, Dance Central on Xbox Kinect, and lots of walking all throughout the week. I'm trying to get used to as much activity as possible.

Hope other Slythies are having a good week. =D

First things first. I average about 8-10 glasses of water each day.

As for exercising I have been walking anywhere from 3-5 miles everyday or every other day!
I do at minimum of 45 minutes of Zumba each day. (I have the dvds and the wii game)
Also, as a warm up I do the Just Dance 2 for the Wii.

As for my favorite Slytherin character, hmm, I am not really sure. If I had to say anyone particular person, It would be Draco Malfoy. Only because I met him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He came to Waddington, NY fishing I live 10 minutes from there and happened to be fishing there at the same time that he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey fellow Slytherins!!! ^_^ glad to see a lot of you sporting our logo and trying to win this competition! I am trying hard myself to get Slytherin to the top! I had worked out everyday for 3 days straight now. Day 1 was 45 mins of elliptical, small break followed by 50 more mins of elliptical, day 2 was 45 mins of elliptical (my legs were dying already) follwed by 30 mins of stationary bike, day 3 (today) was 45 mins of elliptical and 35 bike as well as my work which was 8 hours of which I had to walk AT LEAST half of. ^_^ I have been under my max cal intake each day and am trugging forward for us Slytherins cause we rock the other house's socks off! Go guys!
