    Totally failed the exercise challenge though - I didn't even do my cardio - LOL!

    Happy day everyone!!

    ok so didn't get my fruits and veggies in today :(, but worked my upper body harder than normal today, not actually on purpose- my husband challenged me to a playground workout which consisted of dips, pullups, and chin ups- lets just say I lost but I tried!!!!

    FINALLY HAVE A COMPUTER AGAIN!!!! YES! Imissed you ravenclaws!

    So, what are the challenges this week?

    Welcome back! Here are the challenges for this week:

    Food: Eat 7 fruits and/or veggies each day

    Exercise: Choose the part of your body that you tend to neglect in your workouts and work on them this week (abs, arms, butt - whatever). You can add it to your regular workout or use commercial/restroom break mini workouts - anything to give that area some attention.

    hi Ravenclaw!! didn't have time to wish you all a good morning today so i hope your day has been great thus far!! i have been zig zagging since last week and totally forgot that today was supposed to be my high day. did not plan approriately so i think i will have to switch today and tomorrow. i am working overtime tomorrow so it will probably work out better anyway. i may have to resort to peanut butter later to make my calories for a regular day today!! got in 3 fruits so far but haven't had dinner yet. enjoy your evening (or afternoon depending on yur time zone) :bigsmile:
    yay..smilies are back :happy:

    hey guys :D
    had a slip-up day yesterday for no apparent reason - cravings... *shakes fist* not doing too well today either, but i WILL stay around my calorie goals.
    no money to buy new fruits/veggies, fail on that challenge :[ have 20 bucks to last me til financial aid gets in [mid-september, eek] so we'll see what i can do with that. probably just gas to and from school =[[[ glad it's not too far away.

    I did the Costco trek yesterday. Two bags of boneless, skinless chicken breasts!!!

    The produce didn't seem as nice this time and no artichokes. :sad:

    Avocados and more raspberries!

    Today's FOTD: Avocado

    Happy Thursday Ravenclaw!

    So far this week I've met my 7 fruits/veggies every day and I've done ab exercises 3 days. Abs are the part that I tend to neglect most often. I ate out yesterday - business lunch - and there must have been something in my salad that triggered a food sensitivity in me 'cause I woke up with a head-ache and haven't been able to shake it all day.

    Hope you all are having a good day!

    Sorry I have been MIA ravenclaw! Back in town and back to my routine. Definitely won't be meeting the fruits and vegetable challenge this week. Typically I would too, but I have been really budgeting my money and haven't been to the grocery store this week to pick up some fresh food!

    Hello Ravenclaw. Looks like a lot of you are heading back to college. Let me know if there are any challenges you would like to see to help you keep on track. :wink:

    Hello Ravenclaw. Looks like a lot of you are heading back to college. Let me know if there are any challenges you would like to see to help you keep on track. :wink:

    I'd love to have one with fruits and veggies and workout. And maybe even one on sleep, like getting at least 8 hours or something like that. Sleep and nutrition always seems to fall to the wayside when I'm at school.

    so i've been getting my fruits and veggies every day, so 7 points? :bigsmile:

    and i did arm exercises two days, and crunches another day, so that's 3 points for exercise :flowerforyou:

    i hope i have a good weigh in tomorrow!!!

    Good morning Ravenclaw. I started the day this morning with an interesting omelet: 3 egg whites, sauted onion and kale, daiya dairy free shredded cheese substitute. It was fantastic! I'll definitely do that again. :smile: I never thought I would like kale, but it turns out to be quite tasty.

    Today is final exam day in my accounting class. Then I have 2 whole weeks off before I start my next classes. I look forward to the break.

    Hope you all have a great Saturday. See you at weigh in tomorrow!

    I never thought I would like kale, but it turns out to be quite tasty.

    I'll dig up my Kale recipe and post it. I take it to pot lucks and I won't tell people what's in it until after they taste it. Heh, heh. Once I tell them it's kale they're stuck, because they usually rave about how good it is and now can't really say they don't like kale. :devil:

    good morning Ravenclaw!! computer is fixed and working just fine again!! i weighed in at 181.4 today. that's a 1.4 loss for me and it's also my august goal!! :bigsmile: i was going to stop zig zagging as it's confusing me about how many calories on which day, but in the 2 weeks i've done it i've lost a total of 3.2 lbs. i also prefer the regular way when i could just put in a little more exercise time to earn more calories if i got hungry. not sure what i'll do now. best of luck with weigh in to all. :drinker:
    ps-i lost track of house points this week what with my computer issues.

    I think I'm going to wait a few days to weigh in, in hopes I can reverse the damage done in the last two days.

    weigh-in 191, 1.5 lbs for this week.
    7 pts for posting, 7 pts for fruits and veggies, +2 for stretches

    Good morning Ravenclaw! Weighing in at 160 pounds - down 1.5 and at my August goal!! I earned 17 house points this week - 7 for daily posting, 6 for eating 7 fruits/veggies a day, and 4 for exercising my trouble spots (abs and arms).
    This week's challenges (Aug 21 - 27):

    Food: Rainbow meals - eat 1 meal each day with at least 4 different colors on the plate. These colors should come from natural sources (fruits, veggies, meats, grains) not food coloring, sugar and additives :laugh:

    Exercise: Since this is the back-to-school, settling-into-new-routine time, let's leave it the same as last week - Choose the part of your body that you tend to neglect in your workouts and work on them (abs, arms, butt - whatever). You can add it to your regular workout or use commercial/restroom break mini workouts - anything to give that area some attention.

    Have a great day!
