Way to go! hope the chipper feeling carries through your entire day!
Forgot to track my walking but I know I do at least a half hour a day just in my normal day. I make circles between the floors of my building for breaks and usually go for a short walk at lunch. didn't quite make my water yesterday, and boy can I tell. After a week or so of drinking a lot of water my system misses it when I don't.
Have a great Wednesday everybody!0 -
On the right track for water today, and getting ready to go for a jog once the kids are down for a nap! I find that being on summer break is making me so lazy. I have nothing to do but clean and take care of my kids so I end up just sitting around on the computer. I can't seem to get my motivation up to do anything!0

are the kids old enough to go on walk with you? making it some sort of photo scavenger hunt or something was always fun, but I hear you. I love being outside in the sun, but its tough to stay motivated sometimes when the schedule gets all moved around0 -
Hey all! Glad to see everyone is doing well with the challenges!
For July, it's been decided that we will do challenges as Hogwarts as a whole, so basically, each house picks a challenge for one week, Slytherin has week 4. Any suggestions for challenges? This is a group effort after all! I will post the challenge for next week either tomorrow or Saturday, so everyone knows how they are doing.
Have a great day everyone! 0 -
Don't think i'm going to make 10000 steps today. I didn't get a chance to walk before work and now its 100 deg out so walking is going to have to wait until tomorrow.
As for the challenges i don't have a preference to which one is picked, but i have to say that i like "10000 step one" make me aware of how much movement i did that day
Hope everyone is having a great day !!0 -
Hmmmm. not really sure what a fun challenge would be. A practical one would be the 8 cups a day water challenge, especially considering how hot this summer is going to be!0

happy friday all,
sounds like some good progress is being made by all so way to go!!
I'll have to think about some ideas for a house challenge. it would be fun if we could find a way to reference or tie it to the Slytherin house from the HP series.
Anybody have fun plans for the weekend? if the rain holds off, I'm hoping to do some u-pickin of strawberries.
Enjoy the weekend, and lets keep wearing out those shoes with all the walking.0 -
Question: does carbonated water with lemon count toward the daily goal of drinking enough water?0

TAG - You are it! If you read this post, go drink a glass of water
(and come up with the next tag if you feel so inclined. i.e. stretch to the ceiling, do five push ups at whatever level you can), walk around the insides walls of our house (start in one room and follow the walls around every room until you get back to the start point, or what ever else you can think of, and of course, drinking water is always a fair choice)0 -
Ok You got me.....going to drink the water now.
Hope everyone is having a great satuday
Today i walked 3.3 miles so the water was well needed lol
For the next Tag go do 20 jumping jacks
Have fun everyone and talk to ya later0 -
WOOT down 1.2lb
Hope everyone has a great Sunday0 -
I haven't done much today. Tropical Storm Debby was here visiting us most of the day. It seems to have calmed down for the night. Hoping that she decides to move her butt out of the gulf so we don't have a lot of flooding.0
-
Hope all went well with Debby
My pedometer is broken from going on a log flume yesterday and it got really wet
. So i made sure to walk 1 hr today before work to make sure that i go over 10000 steps today
Anyway Happy Monday all0 -
Congrats on your losses people!
Sorry it's late, but here is the challenge for this week:
WEEK 4 - 24th June -30th June
OWLs - 2 per day for each day you complete the following:
40 Minutes - get 2 OWLs for each day you complete a 40 minute session of exercise, be it a walk, the gym, strength training, but a continious session. 1 OWL for each day you do a 20 minute session.
NEWTs - 1 Point per day for each day you do the following:
Try to be under or over by no more than 50 cals of your calorie goal. 1 NEWT for each day you achieve this.
As from next week, our challenges will be set by all houses. We need to think of ours! I like the idea Desertlyzard had of trying to make them Slytherin themed.0 -

Annnnd the last thing, we should all try and go on a recruitment drive for Slytherin. Post in thread, on your pages etc!0 -
We came 2nd in the Quidditch Cup last week, behind Gryffindor. YAY, congrats to you all for working so hard! But y'all know what the Gryffindor / Slytherin rivalry is like, let's try and beat them next week!
Hope everyone is having a great day!0 -
So i want to start weighing myself only on the first of the month....the scale can ruin me . So my question is that going to mess up the spread sheet are the challenges weekly or monthly? 0
-
Ahh, for your figures to qualify you'll need to weigh in weekly, otherwise your average the week you do weigh in will be crazy.
Why do you struggle with weekly weigh in's? I used to weigh in every day, it was a nightmare!0 -
i like to see at least a 1lb loss and i know that it will not always be that way, so i figure if i weight in monthly i will see more nsv and not worry about what the numbers say but i love doing challenges so i will just suck it up 0
-
howdy all and happy mid-week.
Not doing so well this week because I'm letting a bunch of changes at work effect my focus, and letting myself be lazy with food choices and not getting up and moving as much during the day. I'm sure it will effect the weigh in, but at least I'm beginning to recognize the pattern so I guess that progress.
I keep thinking about theme for a challenge, but so far have only come up with something around juices (polyjuice - choosing a healthier alternative like no soda or beverage over 50 calories for a week to help transform you) or a wizard's dual - (a conscious choice to fight a bad habit within yourself i,e, park at the end of the row instead of fighting for a close parking spot, walking up a flight of stairs instead of the elevator, getting up 30minutes early to have an un-rushed morning to include exercise, stopping negative self criticism when you don't make the best choice or results... just identifying some bad habit we fight against, and taking actionable steps against it) I don't know, I'm still thinking...0 -

@ Desertlyzard I hope your week gets better just remember tomorrow is a new day and a new start.
@ Fuhrmeister Yeah more Slytherins, Hello and Welcome
ps anyone from slytherin feel free to add me to friends list 0 -
@Vegastei Aww I am sure you'd do fine with the weigh ins, have you tried to zig-zag your calories to see if that will help you with scale moves?
@fuhrmeister - Yay Courtney, glad you joined! We have a similar set up to Loserville with challenges and logging our weights on a spreadsheet, so sure you'll settle in fine.
@desertlyzard Love love love the HP themed challenge ideas! Let's definitely go with those for our week in next months challenges! 0 -
Welcome Courtney! Glad you're here!
Have a great Friday all.0 -
Got a 30 min walk in today! I fell out of it last week. My car was flooded in TS Debby, and even though I have an insurance claim on it, not knowing has made me feel like I don't want to get out of bed. My birthday was on Wednesday and my mom was trying to take me out on a "shopping spree" and I didn't even buy a thing. I'm feeling better, even though I don't know whats going on with my car.
I have the color run in December, so I'm starting my training now. I just finished another 5k in May, but one month off makes me feel like I never did it in the first place!0
