Hufflepuff Common Room

Ok I didn't gain and I didn't lose. I stayed the same. I thought I was going to have a major meltdown at Koh's yesterday with my youngest two children. They were so bad. I got pulled over but was just given a warning. I also can't find my oldest halloween shirts. I was in a very bad mood.

The rangers won so my mood got way better. I got one of the best nights of sleep I have gotten in a really long time. I feel refreshed. I am going to workout on lunch. I set a goal to lose 5 pounds in the next 2 weeks by november 5th. I am wearing size 12 jeans and they fit loosely. I have started my christmas shopping.

I didn't get any abs in yesterday but I drank 10 glasses of water. I was bad on my fat. I am sorry for rambling.

edit to add I also have the 30 day shred so I would be up for a challenge.

@lhurttubise- omg I’d love to join the navy! I’d want them to put in through nursing school and pay for me to finish my master’s.

I got the 30 DS dvd at walmart for 9.87. it was at target for 9.99 but they were all out and couldn’t wait for it to be shipped. I have to say I only did 4 days of it last week but I felt the difference in my back and arms immediately.

Made a bad choice yesterday for dinner. I got wings and ate all of them even after I split them up so I could have some for lunch today. that didn’t work out I just inhaled all of them and didn’t go to the gym and passed out. just glad I didn’t have indigestion.

I've finally lost another pound! I got bored early so decided to weigh myself to see if I'd put on weight and I've lost 1lb! Slow and steady wins the race Weight is now at 162lbs.

Stats for 25/10

OWLs - 3
NEWTs - 13
House Points - 25

I've got a week off of sixth form this week so exercise will be fairly minimal this week as I'll be cooped up in the house stressing and doing my coursework. I am visiting a friend in London on Thursday though, plus working on Saturday, so hopefully I'll get some good exercise minutes in there.

EEEEK!!

Owls: 1
Newts: 7
House Points: 0

Guess I need to tweak the Tuesday Night Wings family tradition!

Sorry sorry!!! I have been busy and sick the last few days and completely forgot to get on here and update!

I am on level 2 of 30DS, I would definitely do that challenge

hello hello, i hope you're all well. Sorry i haven't been on top of my fitness whatevers for a little while. think i'm getting back on track. I read something about fat, reverse curls and water intake. drank 8 glasses of water and did 20mins exercise and 20 reverse curls today. I haven't been recording properly so am going to start again now.

so I think i have:
Owls - 2
newts - 13?
house points - 20

Going to try and do my crazy abs workout tomorrow so hopefully I'll rack up a few more owls

Also 5 things about myself:
1. I work with young offenders and am like a probation officer for kids. It's quite interesting work, not what I grew up wanting to be but I can't imagine being anything else.
2. When I was younger I wanted to play cello but I didn't know what it was called so I said "banjo" and did a cello action. My parents got hold of a banjo and I was like "what the hell is that?!" and then they got me a guitar and somehow I ended up learning violin, guitar and piano. I got pretty good on them and then once I reached grade 8 on 2 of them I just stopped playing.
3. I don't think I will ever get married or have kids. Not because I don't think I'm capable but because I don't think I could actually live with anyone.
4. I hate my feet. It's not that they're too big (I mean they are big) but I think I must have had ill fitting shoes as a kid because they're very wide and I have very big toe bones which look suspiciously like bunions. I wear trainers pretty much all the time.
5. I'm going to be 30 in Feb next year and I think I will have a themed party. My last themed party was "heroes and villians" which was really fun. I need to think of something as good, if not better but I can't think of anything! I guess I have a while before I need to send out the invites though!

Ugh today was rough. My tummy is killing a combination of severe constipation and TOM sorry for TMI Today was a totally failure. Over on calories and fat and sodium and everything else. I might have drank 3 cups of water ... Maybe I was mostly drinking alcohol.

Good morning, Here are my stats for yesterday:

10/26/11

OWL: 1
NEWT: 8
House Pts: 31

A little better, as least I had some house points yesterday. Still in the red, hopefully by the end of the week I will be in the green 8 )

Hello Hufflepuffs! All I can say that God tomorrow is Friday! What a crazy week I have been having! I am over calories today for sure, but I made my fat goal. I drank at least 80 ozs of water and I did Taekwondo today. I plan on doing one of my exercise dvds later. I am excited about that!

Went to the gym today :happy: good to be active again. I've officially started the couch to 5k programme and limped through the first treadmill session today. Started a weights programme too.

Totals for the week so far

Owls - 15
newts - 26
house points - 100

Hope everyone is well

So Griffyndor House selects Prefects each week. I was thinking maybe we could select Prefects every 2 weeks so that each person would have a chance to choose the exercise and the food challenge. If we can pick every 2 weeks I would have less to keep up with, but this is a democracy so let's vote. Let me know what you want to do by Sunday please! I will announce the new Prefects on Friday and they can start posting the challenges Saturday. Thanks Hufflepuffs!

This sounds like a good idea. I vote for changing Prefects every 2 weeks.

It was cold and yucky misty/rain.... but I pulled through and rode my bike to work. Gotta love the extra calories burned and the House Points earned for doing something I have to anyway.... Work! Yuck! TGIF! I am ready for the weekend!!

Hi guys! Just started tonight so I'm not sure what all Im supposed to be doing My starting weight is 276. (ugh). Hope to get to know everyone well!

Yay so glad you decided to join! We have weekly challenges and we check in with our weight between Friday and Monday. You can check in with your weight any day during that time. We also have an exercise challenge and a food challenge each week. This week we are doing reverse crunches and monitoring our fat intake. So for 1 set of 10 reverse crunches you earn 1 OWL and if you stay under your fat goal for the day you earn 5 NEWTs. You also earn 1 NEWT for each glass of water you drink. The OWLs and NEWTs are used to determine the "Prefects" who choose the weekly challenges. You can post your OWLs and NEWTS daily or every other day or whatever works for you really. We also report our exercise minutes as house points for a inter-house competition we compete in. You can also just have conversation here ... Complain, report NSVs ... anything. We are here to support each other. We did something where we said 5 interesting things about ourselves so feel free to do that. If I have confused you I am sorry lol ask me any questions you need to. For clarification on the OWLs and Newts here is an example:

10/25-
OWLs- 3 (3 sets of 10 reverse crunches)
NEWTs- 13 ( under fat= 5 NEWTs + 8 glasses of water)
HP- 60 ( 1 point for each minute of exercise)

Hope this helps! We are so happy to have you! :happy:
