Hufflepuff Common Room

Hi everyone...
I just wanted to write to say that I totally suck!!
I have been too busy to keep up as a hufflepuff in the threads, and I just wanted to come over here and admit it
I have been keeping up with my eating and exercising, I just haven't been making the time to get on the forums because I got a new job and the forums make me unproductive
Anyway, good luck to you all..I am rooting for you from the sidelines...sorry to bail! Maybe I will come back and try again later when I am between freelance gigs.0 -

Hey ladies, I'm am off on a long weekend getaway to celebrate my upcoming birthday. That means eating and drinking and lots of it! Just wanted to check in and let you know that I won't be posting over the next few days. I'm going to just enjoy myself (but not too much) and hope a few days "off" don't spoil my progress.
Since my last check in:
Weight-same (although I am weighing myself at night after a full day of meals rather than in the morning as I usually do.)
OWLS:20
NEWTS:0 need to work on this for sure!
House Points: 120
Have a great weekend!0 -
Good afternoon all!
Exercise will be minimal from me today. I'm stuck in doing so much work - I really shouldn't have left it until the last minute. I never learn! I've done 30 mins already, I'll try and do another 30 but no promises.
Am I right in saying the exercise minutes challenge is our inter-house challenge and runs until October 3? If so, once this challenge is complete, will we have a new challenge and 'wipe the slate clean' as far as results go and then start gathering results etc for the new challenge(s)? This probably makes no sense to anyone but me :laugh:
I think you are correct! I definitely know that this exercise point challenge ends on October 3rd. I will let you all know the details of the new challenge as soon as I get it all sorted out!0 -

Ok ladies this is not weight loss related, but I am one proud Momma so I just had to share. My daughter won a modeling contest and she got a free photo shoot, $2,000 bond for college, and $500 in free clothes! She will be featured in Sear's Portrait Studios all over the world! Here is the picture they picked!
P.S. Thank you for putting up with my Mommy bragging now back to our regularly scheduled program!0 -

I have 52 min of exercise and I drank more water than I have since starting I think. It was almost 14 glasses. I was thirsty!!!0 -
Ihurtubise, your daughter is gorgeous! No wonder she won. How old is she? Her eyes are beautiful.
It is so hot here in England, it's actually unbearable! The weather in England is never as it should be as it usually rains for the vast majority of the year. Snow is expected to hit some of the country in just three weeks and for the last week of September we've had a heatwave! Today has been the hottest day of the year, it only took almost 11 months to get there! Haha. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the week. I'll be back later to post today's results etc0 -

Don't complain molly louise, it's been brilliant! I wouldn't be sorry if it never snowed again!
my numbers for the week so far are:
newts - 25
owls - 40
house points - 206
How does everyone feel about a dance-related challenge? I was thinking along the lines of earning owls for doing so many minutes of dancing of your own choice each day. Either that or I thought we could do some sets of "squirms" or something. I thought the dancing might be fun though :happy:0 -

What are squirms?0 -
My stats from my 9/29 post are the same, but the house points need to be changed to 450

Instruction for the squirm can be found here about 1/3 down the page but for ease, i'm pasting the text below as well http://pfitzinger.com/cc.shtml
THE SQUIRM
TECHNIQUE
Start in the basic crunch position with arms outstretched by your sides
Raise the shoulders and upper back off the ground
While holding this elevated position, slowly reach down as far as possible to one side as if trying to touch your ankle
Return to the start position and repeat for the other side
Do not allow the shoulders to lower back to the floor between repetitions
Keep your neck straight with your eyes fixed on the ceiling at all times
STRUCTURE
Aim to perform the exercise slowly with as large a range of motion as possible (reach down as far as able). Perform 16-20 repetitions (8-10 per side) per set.
they're to work the sides and get shape in the torso i think0 -
THAT'S WHAT THOSE ARE CALLED!! THE SQUIRM who knew!! beautiful baby! i want one!

Yeah it is hard because I don't want people to get bored with doing the same thing over and over again.0
