    Welcome Alice!

    Erin - Damn you for reminding me about those stupid wall sits. I hate them so much.

    I'm LOVING these challenges! Did my wall sits last night and tonight, and I've been doing great on my protein -- and it's making me feel really awesome physically! Is there a such thing as a protein high?? Yesterday I was just 4 under my daily protein goal, and tonight I'm already 22 over! Chipotle chicken bowl FTW.

    Also, I bought some 4 lb hand weights tonight and used them with my wall sits :)

    we had EXACTLY the same dinner, seriously. Well I mean the chicken bowl part. Fajita Veggies, black beans, guac?

    Also, I swear I totally forgot about wall sits until I saw this. That is a true and honest mental blockage there.

    951 exercise minutes for 10539 calories burned. 7 Owls. 0 Newts because I almost never have any net calories, so never got close on protein either. lol Weight loss: 2.2 pounds down to 176.

    I am completely NOT SURPRISED that Troy made Head Boy! He always works so hard :)

    2 lb loss this week!!
    834 exercise minutes
    2510 calories burned

    3 NEWTs (I thought it was get anywhere higher than 5 under the goal so I went way over some of the days... oops! Only 3 days were within 5 on either side of the goal).
    7 OWLs (Loved the wall sits!)

    The crunches goal is going to be way too easy for me... I already do about 150 a day. So I'm going to make my goal 300 crunches for the week while holding 8 lbs in weights!
    I read the carb one a few times to make sure I understood the NEWTs this time!! Shouldn't bee too hard, considering the eating habits I got into for the high protein week :)

    Weight down 0.4lbs
    Not a single NEWT or OWL, haha
    Exercise minutes 175

    Considering it was exam week, I'm gonna call this a success anyway!

    And I'm another YAY for crunches, since they're already part of my routine :D

    CW 271 lbs

    - 5lbs off! Although I was sick, so that helped.

    No owls or newts, for the above reason.

    CW: 343lbs
    Lost: -0.8lbs

    OWLS: 0
    NEWTS: 0
    (I didn't make time do do the wall exercises, or keep good track of my protein because of the insane week I had. As well as eating that got out of hand. I am back on track though, and already focused on what I need to do :D)
    Exercise minutes: 64
    Calories burned: 553
    (I probably did more than this, but I didn't log them, and I didn't have my usual iPod touch app on. I am definitely making up for this!)

    Last week was a tough week, had to say goodbye to my uncle for the last time. Emotional eating got the best of me last week (and yesterday too), but I'm getting back on track now! I have to focus on myself so I can get back to a healthier weight! :D

    Hello fellow Slytherins! I'm new, obviously. I can't wait to be a part of this, if you'll have me that is.

    Hello, I love your icon and judge you good enough to be in slytherin solely on that. also I'm not really in charge.

    Also you can join any house you want to. But you should join this one.

    So I'm gonna try and do my crunches this week - its not my favorite thing to do huge quantities of. Just boring. I had personal training today so I did:

    Side plank crunches, pike crunches, the ones where you are in a plank and pull in your knees, roll downs with the 10 lb ball....... I swear we did something else. That was probably about 50 total. If I do 50 every day I'll hit the goal for 7 right?

    Hmm. Would you consider supermans crunches? They're ab-exercises. Kind of. Ab support exercises. I could do superman banana but it makes me feel so SILLY

    yes that is the goofy thing of which I speak. And also you can do this version where you stop halfway betweein and lift up your legs and arms while lying on your side which is HARD. Bodies don't bend that way!
