    Loopy, I think that is VERY impressive, because it shows that your BRAIN has changed. That is even more important than your weight because your Body CAN'T change until your BRAIN does!!
    :flowerforyou: Keep up the good work, Killahs!!

    Happy Monday Killahs! Wow, if every weekend was like this one, I would be in trouble. (ugh. My age changed on here also. I was hoping it would have stayed on 51. Ha!)

    I gotta catch up with the thread, but first my NSV. Being tall and thin, when I gain weight it goes right to the belly area. So I'm glad to say my pant waist size went from a 38 to a 34, and hopefully soon to a 32. :happy:

    Keep killing it, Killahs!

    LC- That is so true about the brain changing. I have that too in relation to food. I still have bad days, but I find when Im shopping instead of saying "That looks good, lets get it!" And reasoning that the kids will enjoy it (tricky stinking mind anyways!). To, "That DOES look good, but I think I'll pass." And here is the kicker. I am SO over my COKE addiction! I cant even stomach the thought of buying it anymore. THATS true NSV and progress. I went from drinking 1-2 cases a day to maybe one every couple of months. I dont even enjoy it so for the last few weeks I havent even thought to get any. I prefer my iced tea.... Unsweetened, unless its mcds... Then it has to be sweetened cuz they make the worst tea around. However, they have the biggest cup. and if Im spending a dollar on something to drink... Im getting the most I can. :laugh:

    HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ZAVE!!!:flowerforyou: We could have had a Killah Party!!! You are getting BETTER, NOT Older. Anybody can get OLD. We are MFP Killahs, and we are SPECIAL!!:heart:
    Tannie, I LOVE McDonalds Coffee, but I hear ya on wanting to get the biggest Cup for the money. Congratulations on breaking up with Coke, That is AWESOME!!
    Go out and make your Monday ROCK!!!!

    Yes - happy Belated Birthday, Zave! :glasses: :happy: I agree with LJ, you are getting WISER, not OLDER!!!
    It's safer to have vodka near the table than malbec if you're doing taxes - IF anything spills. :embarassed: :laugh: But yes, even I waited until the taxes were DONE to indulge a bit. I'm sure your mother appreciates having a son that will do her taxes for her on his birthday weekend! :flowerforyou:

    @Tanniew78 : That's great that you don't miss the coke too much. I also have stopped buying it and keeping it in the house. I'm one of those people that LOVES classic coke w/ all the sugar, especially w/ pepperoni pizza. :laugh: I still indulge once in while, but not nearly as often as before! My teeth have been thanking me...:laugh:

    ETA: Anyone up for a Monday challenge? Try to get over 20g of fiber? <== :noway: :laugh:
    Not exciting, per se, but I usually try to exceed the amount MFP recommends... :smile:

    Thanks LJ and Loopy! You guys are too sweet. I hope I am wiser. If not.....well.... at least I'm another year closer to the early bird specials. Ha ha

    Off for flax seeds for my shake. I heart fiber! (yeah, that looks as weird as it sounded in my head)

    Good challenge Loopy!

    Hope all you killahs had a good Monday to start off this week!

    (Get well soon, Rachel!)

    I came in at 32g Fiber today. I don't eat it everyday, but I love popcorn cooked right on the stove!! :laugh: That was helpful!
    Have a good evening Killahs!

    Thread got a good nap this afternoon!

    Yep, the thread was napping. I rode the Bike at the Community Center for an hour (13.7 miles), then walked 69 minutes before Dinner (3.63 miles).
    :ohwell: Got 19 grams of Fiber
  • zave
    zave Posts: 238
    I got 38 grams of fiber yesterday. Thanks Fiber One cereal for a third of that.

    Nice job on another challenge killahs!

    I think this thread needs a wake-up call! Coffee isn't working.

    Let me think of something.

    Morning' Killahs!
    Very nice, Zave - is that 'killah' font? Or something called 'bloody housepainting brush' ? :laugh:

    LJ - I'm very impressed by your workouts! I am a little lazy and would have logged that much only if I had walked to and from an exercise bike at the Community Center...:laugh: BRAVO!

    Zave good job on the hat...and fiber. Maybe the hat is made of consumable, non-soluble fiber - in case you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and need an additional source of fiber. Redundant if you are stuck in the woods, but maybe handy in the desert?

    Tannie - this hat would have to sit on the shelf next to your 'AUTHOR' hat! How's that all going?

    Rach - FEEL BETTER SOON! :heart:

    Let's get it today, Killahs!
  • LJCannon
    LJCannon Posts: 3,636 Member
    The Hat is AWESOME!!!!! :heart: I want One Now!!!

    Challenge For Today? How about adding 10 minutes to your Planned Exercise for today. It could be any activity that raises your heart rate, not neccesarily "Exercise" per se.
  • zave
    zave Posts: 238
    Yes! Everyone's (virtual) hat is in the mail. Beanie Killah hat for tannie. And some homemade chicken soup for Rachel.

    Loopy, (in blood brushed killer font) you made me laugh. I haven't heard "I will eat my hat " in a long time, but you give new meaning to that phrase. :laugh:

    Winkitty, You had an awesome challenge burn with the Wii! C'mon back!

    Thanks LJ for another great challenge. Lets do this killahs!

    :happy: OK, my Plan was to walk to Curves (approx 1 mile from Home), visit with the Girls there cool off a little, get a drink, and walk home. Then I remembered our Killah Challenge and decided to walk around the block behind Curves before I went in to visit. I thought that it would take about 10 minutes. WRONG!!! It is a VERY wide Block. By the time I got back to Curves I had walked 40 minutes and 2 miles!! AND I still had to walk Home, LOL!!!
    :laugh: Challenge Met & Conquered!!

    Well done, LJ! :drinker:

    WinKitty, DO come back!

    I didn't literally do an extra 10 minutes, but today was the first day of Week 10 of my interval training so it's the first time you're supposed to do two 25-min sets WITHOUT any walking in between...so I thought I was going to DIE, but I didn't !
    Today was the first time I ran 50-min straight (albeit slowly) :laugh: s-s-s-s-s-l-l-l-l-o-o-o-w-l-y...

    I have so much to catch up on! I just assumed that this thread died and didn't check back on it. I'm supposed to be working right now, so I'll catch up later and hopefully rejoin the fun soon! I could use some challenges. :)

    Just to add to my credentials, I'm currently in the process of killing two very controversial threads. If you see one that's getting out of hand, let me know, and I'll go kill it! :)

    The work of a Thread Killah is NEVER Done!! It is good to see you Angie!!:flowerforyou:

    Wednesday's Challenge is about to be announced.
  • LJCannon
    LJCannon Posts: 3,636 Member
    :smokin: OK, here it is, Killahs!!!
    On Wednesday your age Counts!! The Challenge is to Exercise Your Age in minutes. For example, I am 53 so my Goal is to Exercise for 53 minutes. Since I nearly always spend at least 60 minutes at Curves, I am NOT going to count Curves as part of my 53 minutes tomorrow.
    It does not have to be all in one set, you can break up your minutes however you need to.
    :drinker: Good Luck, Killahs!!!

    That's funny Angie! Welcome back. Your Official Thread Killah hat is in the mail(not really, but thanks for playing along:bigsmile:).

    Nice job with your run loopy! LJ your shortcuts sound like something I would do. Way to hang in there.

    Hope you are feeling better today Rachel, and back with us soon.

    I'm off to figure out my 21 minutes of exercise. I wish.(52 minutes it is)

    You guys have a great day.:flowerforyou:

    Bwahahaha!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: Love the hat, Zave, that is truly priceless. Thanks for the lift, I needed that. I am back from my illness, not feeling 100%, but getting there. It was basically the flu, really strange getting it this late in the season. I see our little thread is doing fine. Thanks to everyone for you all your well wishes :smile:

    :noway: Glad I'm not 120 yrs old! Great challenge, LJ! If I have time, I'm going to walk to my meeting this afternoon - that should kill two birds with one stone!!

    Happy Hump Day, Killahs! :laugh:

    @amcheney - plenty of time to catch up - this thread isn't going anywhere and it certainly has not died yet!!

    I don't think so, but I'm sure an audit would. So you better get out your #2 pencil and get going sonofabiscuit.

    (how bout me all old school with the #2 pencil) Hahahahaha!!! Don't kids just download homework from their smart phone now?

    Glad you're feeling a little better Rachel!!!

    :tongue: I had planned to do my 53 minutes riding the Bike at the Community Center. But then I got called in to work an extra shift at Curves, so no time to go to the Center. I might walk later, but right now it ain't looking promising.

    @sonofabiscuit2 - hope the taxes went okay.

    Killer killahs - how did everyone do today?

    I added my lunch time to travel time and had a nice walk to my meeting this afternoon. :smile: 55min walk.

    LJ - though you didn't do as planned, still sounds like you got some serious workouts and burn in! :drinker:

    Good evening folks! :bigsmile:
