Hufflepuff Common Room

Good morning...er, afternoon that is. I've spent an entirely frustrating morning trying to get Microsoft Office to activate on my new laptop. They've blocked my product # for some unbeknownst reason and I have to wait until Monday before I can even talk to anybody to get it fixed.GRRRRRR!!! Oh well, at least I can use it for a few weeks in the meantime. I have 29 days before it will stop working on the laptop as is.

So for yesterday, I drank 9 glasses of water and did 7 sets of crunches.

Kinda looking forward to the push-ups challenge, kinda not. My upper body definitely needs to be strengthened, but they're so hard!! For today however, I'll just have to do crunches in between cleaning and doing homework. Man those teachers at Hogwarts give a lot of homework right off the bat! (or in my case, teachers at Dalton State College )

Once again, no weight loss for me, gah. I suppose it could be worse - I could have gained (again!).

Sorry for the late post! I am in Myrtle Beach on vacation. Anyway our food challenge this week is to eat more green veggies! I have researched and I have a pretty good list of green veggies to choose from. Eat them for snacks with dinner or whenever you can. They are low calorie and great for your body! Each serving consumed will be worth 2 points! I considered a 1/2 cup a serving of one vegetable! It's a great way to stay in shape

Most importantly, fat content in vegetable is negligible and therefore they are often included in weight loss diet. So, those looking for a low calorie diet for losing weight should focus more on eating green vegetables. They are basically high in fiber which also helps to prevent digestive problems like constipation.

The vegetable list mentioned above acquaints you with a multitude of choices to select green vegetables. So, the next time, you go to a vegetable market, make sure you have this green vegetables list on a paper, so that it becomes easier in buying different vegetables.

Reporting in for our last day of crunches ... 4 sets of 25 crunches and 10 cups of water. I also stuck to my eating healthy while everyone else was pigging out on pizza. I had one slice of the veggie one, but not until I more then earned enough exercise calories to enjoy every bite of it.

Logging in my daily numbers ...
200 crunches
30 mins aerobics
9 glasses water

Dreading the pushups challenge!!!

My current weight (for inter-house challenge) is 168. I will update this Monday if it is different for the start of the challenge.

Thanks!
