Omg I am such a slacker this week. I feel so horrible like I let myself down. Ugh!!! I can't seem to get out of this funk. I really need to scrape myself off and get back into my routine. I wish I had someone to kick my butt into gear.
Hope you heel better soon! Please post this weeks food challenge as soon as you can! Thanks0 -
I know we did this before but I would like to do the water and sodium challenge this week. I have decided to get back on track tomorrow. It is a new day and the start of a new week. I have been so stressed. My husband just started a new job this week so he is currently working 2 jobs we are pretty broke right now with the economy the way it is a 2 kids. So I am having to be mommy and daddy while he works 70 hours and I work full time too. I am just feeling quite stressed. I am just going to take my frustration out on working out and incorporating my kids into working out with me taking them for a walk and stuff.0

Sorry for my absence yesterday. Went from one thing to the next to the next.
Yesterday's stats:
Owls 0 (sorry, arm excercises didn't get worked into the schedule)
Newts 3 (1 cup short of water goal
)
HP 90 (volleyball...love it but sprained my thumb and it's really stiff today)
Still no weight loss. This morning 142.4 I'm floating between 141 and 143...still :mad:
Huge NSV today...for the first time I RAN a 5K and I finished well under what I even hoped I could be capable of. I had just thought it would be nice to finish in 32 minutes. I knew it was a stretch, but since the course was relatively flat and I would have race day adrenaline, I thought I may just be able to pull it off. I finished in 30 minutes 40 seconds!! I can't believe I was more than a minute below the time I figured would be my best possible (though to be honest I doubted I could do even that). I am so excited and proud of myself!
Water and sodium is fine with me. I'm not usually bad on sodium but for some reason I've struggled with getting my water the last few days.
Jumping jacks, good...gotta say though, I hope we do another week of abs soon. I need to be working them in probably every day, but that would be a nice extra motivation.0 -

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this ... I had a very hectic weekend. Anyway thanks for taking the initiative and choosing a exercise challenge. I love it! The only thing is OWLs are for exercise so instead of 10 jumping jacks for 1 NEWT we will have 10 jumping jacks for 1 OWL. Thanks again Molly!
No problem! I thought it'd be better if I posted a challenge because the worst that could happen is that we'd end up with two challenges and that's definitely better than none. Oops, I forgot to change it to OWLs
Sorry about that!
It's only 3pm but I've planned out my meals today so I know I am under on sodium, had 8 glasses of water and done some jumping jacks! I did 20 minutes worth and managed to do 180 sets but I can't for the life of me work out how many OWLs that is! My brain is telling me that's 180 OWLs but surely that can't be right? I set this weeks challenge yet can't work out my own results from it, :laugh:
OWLs - Unsure, so if a maths genius could work it out I'd be very happy According to my (probably very incorrect brain), it's 180 OWLs.
NEWTs - Under on my sodium allowance and I've had 8 glasses of water so far, so __ NEWTs for today.
House Points - 20
Weight - 163
Have a good Sunday everyone!0 -
weekly totals:
45 minutes of exercise--cardio only, so I didn't get any arm exercises in this week.
I was under my carbs goals4 days this week and met water goals 3 days. I've been awful about logging water lately.
weigh in: 115.0 -- .2 pounds lost.
I'm pretty close to my goal (I set it at 113, but I'm actually happy here for now, I just want to start working on toning) and I'm so stinkin' busy lately with school and work and have a hard time keeping track with the weekly challenges (not just keeping up--but actually finding them pages back in here) so I think I should probably quit the group and stop bringing everyone's totals down
cause I certainly will be with the weigh-ins soon, anyway. if you guys want to add me, that'd be fab? but I think this is my last check in.
it's been awesome, huffles! thank you for giving me challenges to keep me motivated and a place to talk with other people who are trying to improve their lives as well. it's really helped encourage me and I feel bad being a detriment to the group since it really helped me, especially when getting started. if I find myself better managing my time and schedule or adjust my goal, or if we work in maintenance into the challenges in the future, I may be back?
oh! and I'm batholly42 on pottermore

Stats for 10/15
Owls 0
Newts 5? Are the points the same as last time we did this challenge? I didn't see them spelled out.
HP 31
I did a crazy thing and went out for a run today. Yesterday's 5K was a pretty average distance for me but I'd worn myself out pretty good by running it fast. Still, I felt good today so I decided to challenge myself. I have two routes I like to run and they meet at one corner, so I crossed the road and combined them. I ran 7.2 miles, a full 3 miles farther than I've ever run before! Okay, yes I had to slow to a walk a couple of time on the steep hills at the end, but I still made it to the end. I'm absolutely beat! Told you....CRAZY.0 -
For this challenge you will earn 5 NEWTs for staying under sodium and 1 NEWT for each glass of water you drink. No limit on the how many NEWTs you can earn.I know we did this before but I would like to do the water and sodium challenge this week. I have decided to get back on track tomorrow. It is a new day and the start of a new week. I have been so stressed.

Hey ladies,
For Saturday:
20 house points
No newts or owls:ohwell:
For Sunday:
We went to an amusement park for the day. I did fine with my calories (resisted all that junk food!) I'm just not sure how to log all that walking for our house points. I logged 2 hours, slow pace. but it was probably double that if not triple! I would feel weird logging 4 or even 6 hours of exercise. Do you think it's fair to say 120 house points for Sunday?
Also for Sunday, 3 cups water and under sodium...so 8 Newts ( I think)0 -
Ok I am here I am back on track as of yesterday. I did an hour of exercising, 40 jumping jacks 3 glasses of water but over sodium. I wighed myself today and all my habits kicked me in the butt hard. I am up 2.4 pounds ugh I feel horrible. I am going to buy a new workout dvd tonight to get me more motivated. I am going to do ripped in 30. I did 30 day shred already and thought about going back to it but then I get bored. I plan to at least double my jumping jacks and meet my water and sodium goal.0

I did it I went to lunch with the office picked a healthy choice. I am back I feel better about myself today.0

Evening everyone! I hope you're all well and that you've had a good weekend. Here's to another week!
I earned a total of 13 NEWTs yesterday. When posting my stats for yesterday, it hadn't been decided how points etc would be given for the sodium and water challenges, hence this figure being slightly late.
Stats for 17/10
OWLs - 70 (700 jumping jacks, I'm definitely feeling the burn of that now!!)
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 27
Weight - 163
Hoping for a weight loss tomorrow, so fingers crossed for that. I'm also planning on trying to do 1000 minutes of exercise throughout the month of November, so anyone is welcome to join me in trying to achieve this!0 -

Holy Cow :bigsmile: You are a machine. So I am thinking you did 1,800 jumping jacks. Which does in fact come out to 180 OWLs. That is amazing!0 -
I think 120 is fair. Since you weren't walking just to exercise.Hey ladies,
For Saturday:
20 house points
No newts or owls:ohwell:

I am missing a lot of weights today :mad: Please post your weight. Today is the last day. I need it (good or bad). If you don't tell me something I can't count you for 2 weeks so please tell me something.

Thanks! I got carried away with how many I was doing, haha! My body aches today, especially as I went on and did a further 700 jumping jacks this afternoon, so I am thinking of resting tomorrow. Also hoping for a weight loss but I wouldn't be too surprised if I haven't lost, purely because 2500 jumping jacks may result in some muscle gain! :laugh:0 -
My new weight for this week was 177.4.
I didn't do the challenges cause I was sick
