Lost half a pound this week, which I'm delighted with given that I haven't made it to the gym.
OWLS - 25 Been eating loads of seasonal veg, Brussels sprouts with dinner tonight, yum! :bigsmile:
NEWTS - 0 I keep forgetting to do this; I'm not going to be earning many newts!
House Points - Only 120 this week; I'm keeping active, but not much I'm logging as exercise right now

I know what you mean when I read your explanations, but OWLs are the exercise part and NEWTs are the food part.
This week 15 NEWTs was the max. 5 for trying a fall recipe, 5 for sharing it, and 5 for including an in season veggie. 0 -
CW: 203 Taken on 10/14

I am so glad to be a Gryffindor!0 -
PREFECT TIME!
Our Prefects are:
ShannonP (for weight lost) and MindyBlack (for Owls/Newts)!
Here's your badges (post this in your signature and change IMG to img)!
And here's the chart!
Great job everyone! We have a lot more people racking up those OWLs and it makes me SO proud!0 -
WEEK 4 OWLs & NEWTs!
(Starting after check-in between 10/21-10/24
and ending with check-in between 10/28-10/31)
OWL (exercise): Superman (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/fitness/fitness-plan-two-weeks-oct06#slide-9). Each rep earns you 1 OWL. Try to do as many as you can, while holding each rep for about 1 second. Don't rush them or they won't do you as much good. Rack 'em up, Gryffs! Let's finish strong, since it's the last week of the month!
NEWT (food): SODIUM! Let's try to keep our sodium levels under 2000 for as many days as you can. I know this will be tough for me! If you don't already track your Sodium, try adding it for this week and see how you do. You earn 5 NEWTs for each day you keep your sodium under 2000 mgs for a total of 35 NEWTs possible for the week.
***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!

Newts: 0
Owl: 0
Oh no, I'm so sorry, sweetie! No judging here for the desserts 0 -
Oh dear, it's such a bad idea to get those confused; I doubt a NEWT would be particularly efficient at delivering letters! :bigsmile:I know what you mean when I read your explanations, but OWLs are the exercise part and NEWTs are the food part.
Hopefully I have it the right way round this week...
Weight, I weighed in early (yesterday) but have lost 0.3lb.
OWLs - 0
NEWTs - 25 Had at least eight glasses of water every day, but on two days I also had a lot of wine and didn't have extra water and I know I was a bit dehydrated, so I'm not giving myself points for those days.
HOUSE POINTS - Slightly better, 361 this week.
GOALS
On holiday for a few weeks after today and won't have access to scales and internet access will be patchy, so as I'm now officially no longer overweight, and as exercise has been slipping lately, I'm temporarily changing my goal to an exercise challenge of at least 90 minutes every day until my return. (I might regret this haha!)
Bronwyn, I'll almost certainly be able to get online somewhere to report back in a week's time, so do keep me in!

Hahaha! That's true, a newt wouldn't do a very good job delivering letters, would it?
You got them right this week, tho!
And I'll be sure to keep you in and mark your exercise goal down. Have a wonderful trip!0 -

Ok, Bron. You've convinced me that it's time to be a Gryffindor again! I've been ignoring my destiny. I'll check out your links and get started.0

It'll definitely be a great way for you to focus on exercise and food and take your mind off the pressure of the scale. There's no pressure in this house to lose, only to improve and do your best! 0 -
So I guess it's good to start today then. Mondays will be the first day of my Gryffindor week. My SW is 192. I'll work hard on my owls and my newts!0

PREFECT TIME!
Sorry, this is going to be rushed this week. I really need to work on my time management! Haha.
Our Prefects this week are:
Tbelivea (for weight loss) and MindyBlack (for OWLs & NEWTs)! Congratualtions, girls!
***Kelsue35 took herself out of the Prefect decisions for this week because she's using exercise to help her quit smoking. It's not a mistake, but she's coming to get you next week
If you ladies need badges, here ya go (change IMG to img):
And here's the chart:
Finish this week strong, Gryffs! It's really close so far, so any House could take it!0 -
NOVEMBER WEEK 1 OWLs & NEWTs:
(Starting after check-in between 10/28-10/31
and ending with check-in between 11/4-11/7)
OWL (exercise): Dumbbell Military Press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=WNO0l2jertE
You know the drill, Gryffs. One OWL earned per rep. No limit. Rack 'em up (but don't hurt yourself)!
NEWT (food): Going back to basics. Let's get our veggies in. Aim for eating 3 types of veggies each day. They can be the same 3 veggies every day, if you'd like. 5 NEWTs for every day you get 3 veggies in. 3 NEWTs for every day you get 2 or less veggies in. So, you can earn anywhere from 3 NEWTs to 35 NEWTs this week. Ask if you have questions!
***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!
