Having such a blah week. Tomorrow is my first cheat day since joining MFP 86 days ago, so I'm excited about it! Won't be able to check in here tomorrow as I won't have the chance to get online.
I think I forgot to post yesterdays stats? If so,
OWLs - 1
NEWTs - 0
House Points - 60
Today 16/11
OWLs - 0
NEWTs - 2
House Points - 600 -
I have got one newt! I'm pleased with it.
Edit: by the way, I have hurt my back so no exercise for me. Apparently yoga makes me slightly too flexible so same stats as posted yesterday but with a baby newt.0 -

These are the challenges for this week. They will change on a weekly basis
NEWTs.....
This week I want everyone to try and eat clean. Try dropping some processed foods.
From eatingcleanworks.com:
"In a nutshell, eating clean is the practice of eating whole, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. It also means staying away from the junk that typically makes up the Standard American Diet (S.A.D) These types of food include man-made sugar, bad fats (hydrogenated, trans-fat), preservatives, white bread, and any other ingredients that are unnecessary. An easy way to remember if a food is clean is: "if man made it, don't eat it." "
So each meal or snack that you eat that is clean you earn 2 NEWTs (a max of 12 per day for those-like me- that eat 6 times a day). So, fruits/veggies/lean meats will earn you points!!
OWL challenge for this week is pushups 1 OWL for every 10 pushups
I am new too...Hope this helps!0 -

Been enjoying the 3rd round of Indian summer this week...Supposed to come to an end tomorrow...and back to normal temps. though temps are not horrible for me here, like up North (Sorry Jenn I can empathize...I did grow up on Lake Erie)...but I have become spoiled with minimal winter weather we have here---though some may disagree with my definition of minimal weather!
Hope everyone has a happy Thursday...and Molly...Have a great time and enjoy every minute of your cheat day. You have earned it!0 -
I start feeling really good about a meal or snack being clean and then I destroy it with a big blob or ranch or sour cream. I think "condiments" will be the death of me!!!!
2 Newts for today- I had one "clean" snack today (a kiwi and a cup of herbal tea) but no clean meals.
Just realized I forgot about House Points...I have logged 90 since Sunday. No Owls though-keep forgetting those darn pushups!!!0 -

instead of sour cream use plain greek yogurt. it works great especially if you whip it you don't feel so guilty for topping your meals with a hug blob of it.

Went swimming today and was shocked at how much my eyesight has deteriorated; I had to ask directions both to the toilets and also where the steps to the pool were because I just can't see anything without my specs0 -
I know we are all Hogwartians, but is anyone going to see Breaking Dawn? I am also a Twilight freak! I am so excited. I am going with my girls at 12:01!0

I have a date with one of my friends back home to see it NEXT Friday... Not sure if I am more excited to see her or the movie. We have went see all of them together, so it is our 'thing'... Have a great time with the Girls!!!

Only managed one clean snack today....spoiled my delicious, green salad with another one of those giant globs of ranch (I do use yogurt ranch which is much better but, still- not clean.)
2 Newts for today
0 OWLS
60 House Points (love my zumba class sooooo much)
Yes, I'll be seeing Breaking Dawn. I don't even feel an eesey weensey bit guilty about LOVING trashy teen stuff. I can't do the Midnight show though.... well I could but, I'd be pretty useless to my students tomorrow. I'm taking my niece on Sunday.

Lots of fresh veggies.... but hummus to dirty it up. I am thrilled to get my kid to eat different kids of hummus with veggies(mainly carrots) and pretzels.
I am so looking forward to going home to visit and Thanksgiving... But I know I will OVEREAT the whole time I am 'home' and I plan on having some adult drinks (which I haven't done since I moved here at the end of May!).... Ugh! I need to have a plan...
Another random note. I joined the book club at work.... Yay! Reading dork! But the first meeting I will go to we are to bring a 'treat' work will provide a 'healthy lunch'. So I am trying to think of a good dessert that is somewhat healthy... Why do we make food such a social thing???0 -

Hello Hufflepuffs, I would like to join your house
Thanks 0 -
I'll do a proper post later, but for now I just want to share this picture with you. It was taken last night when just before I went out for the evening with two of my friends, Jo and Gemma. I'm in the middle, looking exceptionally short compared to my friends (who are absolutely beautiful, I'm sure you'll agree), despite having the highest heels on! If you've seen pictures of me previously, I will look a little different as usually I have very curly/ringlet style hair but it was straightened for the evening

Proper post from me! Yesterday was my cheat day which I enjoyed, haha!

House Points - I was at a nightclub and did near on 5 hours of dancing. I didn't log any of this but I am unsure if I should count any of it for the challenge?

Sorry been a bit absent, you know how things go sometimes.
Lost 3.3 pounds this week. No change in other stats so far. I'm afraid that not only have I hurt my back, I also went to the dentist yesterday and have a sore mouth and flappy gums and what I'm saying is that I haven't got any owls and still only one newt. and I don't think I have got any more house points either. Sorry guys.0 -
Molly-you look amazing!
:explode: the downward spiral that was yesterday... Friday is usually my weigh in day and I knew I hadn't had the best week but, guess I expected the weight loss fairies to work their magic. Anyhow, after a disappointing weigh in, I ate literally everything I could shove in! I think I'm done with my pity party and am heading to Zumba-I must apologize to my poor body.0
