    No exercise owls this week (not watching TV makes that routine hard unless I want to spend an hour doing jumping jacks and squats.)

    weighin at 177 which is .4 down this week.

    Happy Sunday, Ravenclaw!

    Exercise: Still 0 =/
    Food: 1 (finally did so today, I believe)
    Spirit: 5, with today.
    Exercise minutes: roughly 315 (don't know how long I got dragged around WWII Days taking pictures of tanks/soldiers, but that's probably close)

    Also forgot to weigh in this morning =/ Gonna go with yesterday's weight of 154.

    I saw SO many awesome dancers and stylish solders last night at the USO Ball :D It was amazing.

    Today was a bad day, I ate way too much and not well. I need to work on my self restraint.

    Am just checking in to see how you are all going, I am having a great time away but have not been logging anything but am still keeping track.

    Weighed in at 103 Ibs last Thursday so gained a pound.
    My OWLS were roughly 0 exercise 0 food 5 posts but am not sure of that and my House Points are roughly 350. Will do my best with the challenges for this week but may just keep track of the house points and will weigh in when I get home.

    I have been gone for far too long! School has been crazy, plus I joined a sorority, so that has been taking up a lot of my time. I will try to be more diligent this week about keeping up with house points. On the bright side, when I weighed in this morning I was down to 158.8 lbs!!! I am out of the 160's!!!

    Also, I have a bit of a story for you all. Victoria's Secret PINK held a contest for college students to vote on, and whichever school gets the most votes gets an awesome concert and some sweet PINK swag. Well, as a bit of a precursor to the main event they held a yoga class for students, where you could enter into a raffle for different PINK gear. I went to the class, and it was my first time being in the gym at school. Bad, I know, but I had a great time with the yoga. Plus, at the end of the class, I won a pair of PINK yoga capris!!! The biggest size they had was a large, and they fit! It was such great positive reinforcement, showing me that I should go to the gym.

    Hope you're all having a good week!
    P.S. What are the challenges for this upcoming week?

    Bad day yesterday, the boy had band practice so me and the monster left to entertain ourselves and some how ended up at the arcade and got ben and jerry's.
    Last night the monster crawled in my bed and slept on my back and now I am in so much pain, hopefully I will get a good workout in some time today but for now laying on the couch sounds fantastic.
    My goal is to weigh in this friday out of the 140's, I am really gonna try to work my butt off to get there.

    Happy Monday Ravenclaw! I just love our house spirit and love to see everyone's little comments!!

    I doubt that I will do much with the squats this week - my left knee still feels swollen and its all I can do to get my walk in every day. But I have the protein challenge beat - I ALWAYs go over!!

    Have a wonderful day!

    Afternoon Ravenclaws! At work, and I remembered to bring a snack this time. I'm still hungry though. I'll have to have another small snack when I get home from work, because I'm having dinner with my roommate at 7.

    I squatted last night after doing my C25K... not the best idea. I wasn't sure I could get up after maybe the seventh squat lol.

    Hey Ravenclaw - it's awfully dreary here today. Horrible for going to school and work in. Got some good homework time in though... Hope the weather is better for all of you.

    Good morning Ravenclaws!

    Good week so far for lots of us by the looks of it, and well done to everyone who lost last week! Question- how on earth do you eat so much protein?! My macro is set artificially high as I like to aim for a high protein diet, but this week I've had chicken, fish or egg three times a day (at least) and still no where near my target! And that's just the basic rate, if I wanted to hit it as it stands after exercise I'd have to eat a whole cow!! Any good tips? Beans are really expensive here so I can't get many, and protein shakes have been known to make me balloon, so am not convinved about them. Those on a high protein diet- what is your macro set at? Maybe I was a bit ambitious when I set mine! Have a good Tuesday all x

    Good Evening Ravenclaws!

    First night of my routine has gone smashingly! Made a nice dinner and got some exercise in and heading to bed early to beat this cold! Now to keep it up for the rest of the week...month...year...and we'll get there.

    For those looking for some extra protein, I recommend nuts. They're a boost of energy and packed with protein. Almonds are my favorite :D

    I'd avoid Hagrid's rock cakes though...whatever they're made of canNOT be worth the calories...

    Hey Lottee - I have my macros set to 1200 calories, 55% carbs (165 g), 20% protein (60g), 25% fat (33 g). Your protein is twice as high as mine. I don't know what the best split is, but I'm pretty happy with mine set where it is.

    I have to say, I'm a little happy to hear that other people are having trouble with the snacking temptations and chocolate monsters and all, lol. I've been having the hardest time staying motivated lately, but as strange as it sounds, just knowing that others are struggling with it, too, makes me want to try that much harder to stick with it (maybe it's knowing I'm not alone, but nobody else is giving up, so why should I?).

    So thanks. I love the honesty. :)

    Had a better today, so hopefully I'll be back on track and avoid giving in as much as I have recently.

    Hit my protein goal for the day, too - woo!

    Hey guys,

    Just dropping by to say hi and wondering how's everyone's doing. Ive a question for those who are increasing their protein what are some good low cal-high protein soft food/liquid. I just had my wisdom tooth removed so im on a mostly liquid diet from now on. :(
    I'd avoid Hagrid's rock cakes though...whatever they're made of canNOT be worth the calories...

    This just made me lol and wish for some chocolate frogs :)

    good morning Ravenclaw. woke up not feeling well at all today-taking a sick day to stay home. don't know what my diary will end up looking like today :sick: . looks like we posted some good numbers this week!! congrats to all...hopefully i will be contributing to the weight loss numbers this week!!
    lottee-i have had some trouble meeting the protein challenge also. i did some research to see what the protein recommendations are. i have my settings at carbs 45%, protein 30%, and fat 25%. the recommendations are quite varied with the range from 10%-15% or 50-175gm/day. i feel like i need fewer carbs so i set my protein a bit higher...that's not to say i make it everyday!!
    hope everyone has a good day....i'm heading back to bed!!

    Thanks for letting me jump in! I was sorted into Ravenclaw on Pottermore, so I thought this would fit. LOVE the idea of this challenge, it is fun!

    Last night I did hot yoga for 75 minutes, it's such a workout, but it feels so refreshing after.

    Good Morning RavenClaws!!

    I earned my Excersise owl this morning, planned my meals so I will have my Food owl and here is for my spirit owl. I am so excited that we won the Quidditch match!!!

    Got on the scale this morning since the weekend's weigh in stunk. Down over 3 more pounds, passed my 35lb lost mark!! Looking forward to this weigh in on Sat to record it here.

    I have my settings at:
    carbs- 35%- 105g
    protein- 35%- 105g
    fat - 30% - 40g

    but I am really focusing on lower my carb intake (my body hangs on to carbs like nobody's business!! its the PCOS)_And of course nursing gets me 5g more protein, plus exercise adds some.
    So today after adding in my exercise (37 minute run/30 minute walk) and breastfeeding I "should" consume:
    1894 calories
    173 carbs (I will get NOWHERE close to this- probably more like 20-30, but no more than 50)
    64 fat
    153 protein

    Today's Stats:
    Exercise (squats): +1
    Food (protein): +1
    Spirit: +1

    Weekly Stats:
    Owls: 11 House Points: 183
