    Ugh. Did absolutely terrible on my eating last night. Hopefully I can get it turned around before my weekly weigh in which will be on Monday.

    good morning Ravenclaw!! HAPPY SATURDAY!!!! i am especially happy for the weekend after an awful week. worked way more overtime than i wanted to which left me stuck at work unprepared (food-wise) without enough healthy options. i never even finished out my log the past 3 days!! so i am ready for a new start. i should be able to get my bike back from the shop today and hopefully the weather will cooperate and i can ride home from work this week. hope everyone else is doing well. very exciting that we have rolled over into our next thread!!

    congrats to momofjanda on breaking your plateau!!
    good luck on you 5k liz11599...sending positive Ravenclaw vibes your way!!

    Here are the Ravenclaw house challenges for next week (Week 2 September). Start on these the day you weigh in this weekend.

    Food: Stay under ADDED sugar for the day. This excludes sugars from fruits and veggies. Count up your total sugars from drinks, ice cream, candy, cereal, etc. and keep that total under your sugar goal for the day. Earn 1 OWL each day you meet this challenge.

    Exercise: Well, this isn't really exercise, but so many of you have mentioned it, so... Earn 1 OWL each day you DO NOT weigh yourself!!

    House Spirit: Earn 1 OWL each day you drop by and post something in the common room.

    Remember, weigh-ins are Friday - Monday (whichever day is best for you): post your current weight, House Points earned (minutes of exercise for the last week) and OWLs earned for the Ravenclaw challenges.

    Good luck everyone on your September Week 1 results!

    Good morning Ravenclaw! Week 1 weigh in:

    Weight: 157 - down 1!!
    OWLs: 10
    House Points: 258

    We're supposed to finally have some cooler weather for the next few days, so hopefully I can get some bike riding in! Has it stopped raining on the East Coast yet? We desperately need some rain - hope we get some soon!

    Everyone have a fantastic Saturday!

    @cNhobbes: Remember to post your weekly House Points sometime this weekend so I can include them in our weekly Hogwarts check-in. You mentioned you would like to see some intense workout challenges. Got any ideas for me?

    I'm thinking about letting the Prefects post the challenges each week to give us more variety. What do you all think of that idea?

    will do! should I count sat-sat or sun-sun as a week? let's see, some workout challenges. how about: 1) trying a new cardio machine/video/exercise that you've never done for 20 min. don't forget to stretch differently than you usually do! 2) doing at least 30 min of exercise EVERY DAY for an entire week. 3) climbing 4 flights of stairs every day for 7 days. i dunno, what do you think?

    You can count any 7 days you want as long as you're consistent each week.

    Thanks for the good suggestions!

    Morning Ravenclaws!

    Saturdays will be my official weigh-in day moving forward, so I'm happy to post that I have lost 1.6 lbs since my start on 9/6! I'll take it. :)

    Didn't do as well with house points or owls as I would have liked, but I'll be determined to make more progress this week on the new challenges.

    Here are my weekly stats for 9/7-9/9 (week 1 - short week due to late start)
    Owls- 6
    House Points- 28 (exercise is the worst for me - I just never make the time for it)

    Hi everyone!
    I just recently found the forum areas, and I was wondering if I could join your guys' awesome house? I'm a complete and total Harry Potter geek, and listen to tons of Wizard Rock while I work out, that is when I'm not working my butt off at school or cleaning. If you guys let me join I would greatly appreciate it, though could someone fill me in on what all happens here? Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
    Thanks!

    Silly question I know, as most of mine are, but how do we calculate the house points ? Is it a point a minute?
    because I have 210 minutes last week(although I thought I pretty much did nothing) so how many house points would that be?

    Weekly totals:

    128 House Points for exercise
    7 OWLs for "just moving"
    5 OWLs for getting all my water in
    6 OWLs for posting on the thread

    so...
    128 House Points
    18 OWLs

    and...
    New weight: 230! Down one pound! I'd have liked to see two, but I'll take it. Better a little loss than a big gain.

    This also means that I have reached my first mini goal! My friends and I are going shopping today, I may treat myself with a new shirt of something. We'll see. I'm running low of money right now (the life of a college student... c'est la vie).

    Happy Saturday fellow Ravenclaws!

    Today should be a pretty chill day for me. The roommate is out of town, so I don't have much on docket except for tons and tons of reading and a trip to Subway in a little while to get a sandwich.

    OWLS for yesterday
    Exercise - 1
    Food - 1
    Spirit - 1

    You got it - 1 house point for each minute of exercise. So you have 210 House Points!! That's great!
