    Sounds like a tough week for many of us. Work is kicking my butt too, and I'm so relieved that my big midterm is done. I have to exercise some more tonight.

    As much as I hate to hear that others are having a tough time, it's still nice to know I'm in good company. Work has been draining me lately, and yesterday I felt bad enough to leave early. Not sure what's wrong, but I just don't feel well at all. Plus, I took yesterday as a 'rest day' and then ended up eating a little more than usual. Not a TON, but still. Just makes me feel blah today.

    But, I gotta get back into and get moving. Maybe that will help. Hope everyone finds a way to get it turned around.

    Thanks for the many warm greetings!

    I'm in good spirits today, and noticed that I was strangely getting a kick out of eating celery today. Usually I eat it during lunch, and after a couple of chomps it's gone. But today I had to run an errand, so I thought to bring my celery with me while I was driving in the car. I tend to have idle hands, and occasionally need to munch on something.

    I think I spent about a full 30 minutes eating 2 stalks of celery. The juices, the celery strings... I've never had so much fun eating celery before. So I thought I'd share my random food thought for the day.

    As an aside, I know I'm late into the game, but I was curious on where to find how to earn OWLS. I see that you all are reporting what you've earned, but I'm not sure where the assignment is. Is there a link?

    From our Head Master, check out Muggle Quidditch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K-xgBpQU84

    I had heard of it, but wondered how it would translate to the muggle world. Quite interesting and worth a look! :glasses:

    Just stopping in to say hello and drop off some *hugs* for all.

    And now.....awww man. So I was just getting ready to post something Ravenclaw-ish for your enjoyment, but sadly, it would require linking to a site that sells stuff, and I don't want to get i trouble for it. Bah-hum-bug. Anyway, if you ever get a chance, I would highly recommend checking out snorgtees online if you happen to dig dorky/geeky/nerdy as much as I do.

    Wish I could link some of my favorites, but instead, I will try to go the safer route and link you to the picture of one I happen to own (and <3). http://mediacdn.snorgtees.com/media/catalog/product/d/i/disappointment_fullpic_artwork.jpg

    Just for the record, I have 0 connection with the site and have absolutely no way of making money from them. Just wanted to throw that out there ;)

    P.S. They have a shirt that's HP-related on there. Makes me smile. :)

    Great! That's exactly the point of the challenges - to help get you started with incorporating healthier choices in your life. That's why I don't mind seeing repeat challenges. It reminds me to keep working on them! :happy:

    @cherubcrnp - You have made SO much progress. The difference is amazing!

    @TwiFan5 - do you track your measurements? If you're losing inches, the weight gain doesn't mean a thing. With the amount of exercise that you're doing, it may just be muscle weight. Try watching your inches for a while instead. :flowerforyou:

    OH - and Kelly - some of the stuff on that site is hilarious! :laugh: Thanks for sharing it.
