    Woohoo Mission Slimpossibles hitting 3rd place! @txcritter69 @annachangesagain @laurelfit57 Great job top winners!

    @megnolia82 I agree it seems insanely easy to get off track fast, very frustrating. I'm at a similar place real flared up right now from my treatment last week then started eating gluten again, it definitely takes a toll on the body.

    @sleeepygirl79 I'm glad you're able to run and hope your breathing will go smoother. Wishing for the best for you!

    @DrewsAnna Way to go on not eating everything at DQ, that was smart thinking. I've been fighting the urge to get a Blizzard for a week. The shoveling sounds like great exercise!

    @micaroo4 I hope the bunny comes back, good luck with the windows tomorrow.

    @trooworld Violet lunging at people sounds exhausting your arm must hurt! Garden sounds good I hope you're harvesting tomatoes soon. I've only had a couple ripen so far but in a few weeks things will be crazy. What a beautiful lake!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Sending lots of prayers to you and Hunter!

    Hi team! Not feeling too hot but wanted to get on here and say hi, still real flared up so I'm going to rest and turn off all electronics and read and nap for a bit. Have a great night and awesome Tuesday!

    Thanks so much everybody for all the well wishes for my agility match. For the first time my brain did not blow up at a match, what I mean by that is it used to just get so overwhelmed with all the colours, sights and sounds (I had absolutely no filter) that it would shut down from the overwhelming amount of information going into my brain all at once. I did get a little stressed, but once I realized that my brain was continuing to function all was good. I was able to focus on the course and what we needed to do and not pay attention to everything else in the environment. I definitely made some mistakes, but it was just operator error lol. Vannie had so much fun! I didn't realize there were going to be so many runs, we did seven! In class, I do maybe three runs, I was exhausted as was Vannie when we were done.
    Instead of taking the dogs for a walk today I thought I would just take them to the park to play fetch totally lazy on my part. I knew Vannie would be tired today as well, so I thought just a few chuckit balls and she would be good, which she was. I have a command for her, if I sort of twisted my leg to the side and say hup, Vannie will jump on that leg and launch into my arms. After we played, I said hup to Vannie, she looked at me and spun around so her back was facing me, that's what she does when I am just going to pick her up in my arms. She was done and there was going to be no jumping today🤣.
    I did a spin class first thing this morning and Ty obedience class this afternoon, I am staying home and not moving from my couch tonight watching the game by myself, I don't think I can move 🤣.
    Thanks again so much everybody for the support, it really meant a lot!

    Good morning Slims!
    Workmen are coming today for the windows. I'm nervous and excited. It will be great to have new windows, but it's just freaking awful to have strangers invading my space and disrupting the house. I've moved the furniture 3 feet away from the windows, which basically means everything is pushed into the middle of the rooms, and has to stay like that until they finish. If they don't finish today, then I can't put my house in order until tomorrow.
    I got a text from my brother yesterday, telling me he had a little accident. It seems he fell down the stairs during the night on Sunday. He has no memory of the fall. He woke up with a headache, his head stuck to the pillow from the dried blood in his hair, a big lump on his head, a shoulder injury and a back injury. This isn't the first time he's fallen at night and had no memory of it. 4 years ago he woke up on the floor with broken ribs. I know he takes something to sleep, and I wonder if he's sleep walking. He said he might go to the doctor today to get the back and shoulder injuries checked out. I suggested that he get an Apple Watch, which has fall detection and you can set up 911 notifications. He says he doesn't wear a watch. Boys are stupid. No offense Darren.

    @AustinRuadhain @bark2j5 Great weigh-ins!

    @Katmary71 Yeah it was exhausting lol. I hope so too about the tomatoes! Thanks! I'm sorry about the flare up. Are you flared up because of the heat or something else?

    @laurelfit57 That's great that you didn't become overwhelmed! I'm glad Vannie had fun. Vannie is so well-behaved, so good with commands! I'm so impressed by her. Sounds like you've been busy.

    @micaroo4 That's scary about your brother. I hope you can convince him to get an Apple Watch.

    @TeresaW2024 Congrats on the loss! Yes, he did write that. He has written so many things for so many people. Yes, she is afraid of EVERYTHING, I mean, if a leaf blows near her, she jumps back lol. That lake is so enjoyable. I wish I lived next to it. It's about 10-15 mins away. Fresh eggs, how nice! I hope you had a nice lunch with the birthday boy. Good job cutting out snacking, that's not easy! That poem nails it. Thanks for sharing.

    I did well yesterday, no ice cream, and no snacks besides some watermelon. Yesterday we had that professional development day at work. They provided lunch. I had half a sandwich, chips, and a little salad. On the way home, I thought to myself, since my husband is cooking tonight, I will take one of the dogs for a longer walk. But when I set out, my dog wanted to turn around after she went to the bathroom. I told myself, I will walk on my walking pad. But when I got back to the house and changed my clothes, the moment of inspiration was over and I sat in my chair. I will work on this. We had Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowl last night. It was really good. My husband added roasted cauliflower. It was a restaurant-quality meal.

    DISCUSSION QUESTION: What can I do to consume more water today?
    Ok, my first thought is why is that even a goal? I do consume a lot of fluids, sometimes water, but I don't keep track. I've probably had 6 cups of beverages this morning, and none were plain water. I'm plenty hydrated, and I drink what I like. I'm the heretic of the group.

    I have been feeling like crap lately, mentally. My family had a family event ( my sister's son's christening ) a few days ago. I didn't want to eat badly but I didn't have a choice as we were to head to my sister's place right after the event where food was served for lunch. They had cake too, one of my weaknesses ( sweets ). I ate a big slice that I was given thinking at least the taste would be worth the calories and it wasn't. I was so bummed that later for dinner, I was like well, since I already was bad today, let me be bad for dinner and get Pollo Tropical so I can at least enjoy something I ate today. The food was all right taste-wise but nothing to be excited about, and then I just felt bloated and had that awful aftertaste of that garlic sauce all night until the next morning, as if it was a silent nasty reminder of my bad eating. I weighed 3 pounds heavier too! I know some of it is probably salt/water retention but still, it was upsetting to see such an impact from one day of eating.

    I thought to myself, I'm going to walk my butt off this week to lose what I gained during my off day, but of course, I live in Florida and it's the wet season, where it rains every day. So, now, I'm stuck inside trying to walk in place or doing workout videos from YouTube hoping it's enough to lose the weight by Friday. All from eating bad one day with food that wasn't even worth the calories/fat. Ugh! If I end up gaining weight this Friday, that is why.

    Hopefully, you guys are having better luck with your week.

    My brother got x-rays and a CT scan. Nothing broken, but he has a small brain bleed. They are going to monitor him for 6 hours, then send him home. He'll have to consult with his PCP about the shoulder and back pain.

    @trooworld Thank you for getting the question again, I'll get the rest of this month I'm behind a few weeks here and don't want you feeling stuck with it. I DO really appreciate what an awesome co-captain you are! Yum last night's dinner sounds awesome. The flare is from the treatment we did, we worked on my tailbone nerves and it flared them up real bad (pretty common with CRPS to have inflammation after a treatment as a reaction but this is probably the worst I've had, my issues started in the pelvis from laser burns).

    -QUESTION Answer: I actually just made tea and am planning on an extra nutrition drink to hopefully help me bounce back so that will help with water plus I had some Diet cranberry juice too.

    @laurelfit57 Wow that's an impressive amount of runs! Sounds like some good exercise today for you and the pups. A rest night sounds good enjoy the game!

    @AmbersWay I used last week's number thank you! Don't sweat being behind just jump in when you're able to.

    @micaroo4 I don't like strangers in my house either. Yikes I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, how scary! I'm glad to hear he didn't break anything, hope the monitoring goes well and he's home soon.

    @TeresaW2024 I'm excited to hear about Diligent Mind Self-Care program, love the poem thanks for sharing. Where did you find this? I hope the breakfast went well!

    @lisalisa123 Hugs I'm sorry you're struggling. What kind of workout videos do you like to do? I can send you some if you're interested, maybe something will inspire you. I hope that salt comes off fast, I know it still sucks to see the higher number on the scale.

    @FushiaKat You did miss last week I kept looking back for it as I don't think you've ever missed a weigh-in! I put your previous weight down for last week's when I was logging this week. I'm so sorry to hear about Tessie, what a beautiful baby.

    Hi team! Trying some stuff to get this flare under control, it's the worst one I've had from using micro current but my CRPS started in the pelvis and tends to flare. The nerves were burned via laser during endometriosis surgery and it later turned into CRPS so who knows why it's this crazy bad but I'm burning everywhere (using some patches that are helping a bit). I'm skipping a charity meeting tonight hopefully I'll be bouncing back soon as this SUCKS. Hope you all have a good night and a great Wednesday.

    @teresaw2024 congratulations on the loss!! Sorry, I do tend to go on L O L. That program that you were doing sounds very interesting.

    @trooworld I promise you Vannie definitely has her sassy times lol. It is so easy for that "moment to pass" and not do what we had the best of intentions to do. I have a really hard time getting any type of exercise in the afternoon. Your husband sounds like such an amazing cook!

    @Fushiakat I am so sorry about your cat, she was beautiful♥️

    @micaroo4 I'm sorry to hear about your brother, I hope things go well and he can get home.

    @katmary71 I am so sorry that you are still dealing with your flareup, I hope you can find some relief soon. Hopefully an evening of rest will do you some good.
    Just a heads up, I am going to try to do my way in on Saturday morning. We are camping for the weekend, I am heading out first thing Saturday morning and won't be back until Monday morning.

    I think I am still trying to recover from the agility match🤣🤣🤣. Met my friend for a lovely lunch, I ordered a Mediterranean salad and it was delicious! There was beet hummus, pickled red cabbage, falafel, grilled chicken, it was so good! I went to Marshalls and got a few summer tops, I really needed them! I have been on my couch from about 7 o'clock, I can't move.
    I was just telling somebody the other day how lucky I was that Ty has not chewed up any of my stuff, not sure why I had to say that out loud! Last night in the space of half an hour she chewed up one of my favourite walking sandals and the bottom shelf of my patio coffee table. This morning when I was bringing in groceries from the garage (max of five minutes), she finished off the rest of the coffee table shelf, was really loving just cuddle down there and enjoy her chew.

    @TeresaW2024 thanks for the pep talk! You’re right, I know what I need to do!
    And yes, I do have summer plans :) camping and purging the house! I’m so overwhelmed by clutter I need to really downsize everything.

    @trooworld great suggestion! A daily goal will help keep me grounded and on track when things seem to be flying out of control.

    This week I’m focused on skipping the stuff that I know will hurt my body. Two days in and the scale is responding.

    Anyway, time to get going! Have a great day :)

    @lislisa123 I'm sorry you are having a bad start to your week. I am sure a lot of that 3 lbs is from water retention, as you said. I like Leslie Sansone walking videos on YouTube, have you tried her? I hope the rest of your week goes better for you.

    @FushiaKat I'm so very sorry for the loss of Tessie. She was a beautiful kitty.

    @Katmary71 No worries, I figure if it isn't posted by the time I am on here on Tuesday, I can post one. It's no big deal. I know you aren't feeling well. Okay, I'll let you get the rest of June, but really, if you aren't up to it, please let me know! I appreciate your awesomeness as well! I hope the flare up from the treatment will eventually be worth it? Good job with your liquids. I picked that question because a lot of people have trouble with getting water in. HUGS, Kat.

    @laurelfit57 LOL I would love to see a sassy Vannie! Yes, it's so hard after working all day to come home and exercise. :( My hubby IS an amazing cook, he makes all sorts of things: homemade pasta and sauce, breads from scratch...unfortunately his love language is food! Oh that salad does sound good! Oh NO! Ty!!! Violet is a chewer: she completely ruined my comforter, she chews up my husband's dirty socks left and right, she always has to chew stuff.

    @megnolia82 Good luck, it sounds like you are turning things around!

    @19shmoo69 Me too. I thought they had brought it back but I guess not.

    DISCUSSION QUESTION: What can I do to consume more water today?
    I know not everyone has trouble with liquids, but I know a lot of us do and that's why I chose this discussion question. I was hoping people could get some ideas from this one. What helps me is to take a 32 oz tumbler in the car on the way to work. My goal is to drink it all before arriving at work. It's like a game. Then, at work, I try to drink at least one more. On the way home, I drink another 32 oz tumbler.

    Hi all. I have a meeting with one of the VPs and my manager this morning which I am nervous about. I called the meeting: it's a meeting I have every year about the things I am in charge of at work but usually, it's with my manager and our director but he retired in March so it's up to this VP to step in. I don't really know him and he doesn't really know the importance of what I do for the library, so this could be a good opportunity to show that. But I get nervous about talking to people I don't know. I'm sure it will go fine.

    Hi Slims,
    My window replacements are taking longer than expected. They did 6 of 10 windows yesterday. The new windows are 2-1/4" thick and my old ones were only 1" thick, which means they have to cut into the existing window frame by 1-1/4" to make the new windows fit. The cutting took about an hour per window, and they burned through one blade for each window, and probably 2 or 3 batteries for the power tool that was doing the cutting. So they were recharging batteries at every outlet. It was extremely noisy, plus sawdust making it very messy. But 3 rooms were completely done by the time they left, and those rooms are cleaned and the windows look great. It's 2 more rooms today - the kitchen, and 2 windows in the sunroom. I will probably replace the remaining 7 windows next year, but this is all I can stand to do for now. I'm very happy that I did it, but it's very hard on me personally with all the noise and commotion. They were supposed to be here at 8:00am, but they are not here yet....

    @lislisa123 I know how frustrating it is to eat a bunch of stuff and not even enjoy it. I’ve done it so many times myself. You just have to forgive yourself and move forward. Try to think of health more than weight loss and that eating things like cake or overdoing it on dinner just because you overdid it at lunch isn’t part of a good health program. Walking is a great thing to do, and I once knew a woman who walked 5 miles every day inside her house. You can do it! :)

    @FushiaKat I’m so sorry for your loss of your sweet Tessie. <3

    @micaroo4 I’m hoping that your brother will be OK! So scary for him and those who love him. I’ve never considered how tedious and messy getting new windows could be. We had a roof replaced on our old house, and that was super noisy. I hope the work gets done soon for you. :)

    @Katmary71 The poem was posted on the Diligent Mnd FB group. Yikes, I hope you have been able to calm down the burning in your body. <3

    @trooworld I hope all goes well at the meeting. It’s important to show the higher-ups just how valuable you are. My new pastor is starting to see that about everything I do behind the scenes. :)


    Good morning! I had to get up early to get Maggie to the vet for her dental cleaning. I told the tech to have the vet go ahead and make a referral for her luxating patella (knee cap comes out of the socket). The poor girl hasn’t put that back, right leg down in three days, so it’s time to do something before she blows out the left knee. Plus, I hate how she looks at us with her little pained face. It will cost what it costs, and we have accepted it. Our lunch with the pastor and his wife went well, and it was nice to spend some time with them. Then, the pastor called me last evening to inform me that we are losing the couple who have been cleaning our church. Ugh, I really don’t want to deal with the problem! OK, I’m off to work out. Have a good day! :)

    Good morning,
    Catching up on everyone post has turned this into a book of sorts.

    @trooworld Your commit challenge sounds like a great way to stay moving. I am glad you made it to the lake. it is beautiful. I have the same problem with Diesel when walking him in public places where there are other dogs. That is great on the no snacks. I too am cutting out the snacks. If I really have to have something I have the light mini bag popcorn as a nightly snack.

    @sleepygirl79 Salty choice ruin my weigh ins too. I am learning to make them earlier in the week so I can sweat them out. LOL That's great that you are running again. Keep up the great work. I started walking again and boy am I feeling it. Hopefully my body will remember it and loosen up.

    @AustinRuadhain Great job on the loss. I got the tomato plant after my hubby's uncle passed away and it was in July so we were in the heat of summer it was just about 2 feet tall. I found on YouTube that you can grow them in the house by keeping a uv light on them and put them in front of a window they will produce over the winter. It worked and then I put it back out when spring rolled back around and got that whole spring through fall before it started dying off.

    @Katmary71 I am sorry you are not feeling well and pray you are doing better soon.

    @megnolia82 I have the same issue with food choices. I have stopped buying that stuff. I have no self control with Junk Food so if it is not in the house I can't eat it. I do buy a candy bar once in a while and do allow a trip to the ice cream shop but it is off limits to the house.

    @DrewsAnna I am glad you are enjoying your watch. I have a Fitbit right now, but now that Google has taken over and done way with some of its features I am waiting to see what they are planning to do over the next year. If it is not for the good I will be looking for a new watch. It sound like you had a great day with your daughter.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Do we have a baby yet?

    @bark2j5 great job on the loss.

    @laurelfit57 I am so glad things went well with the agility match and that you were able to enjoy it and not be all stressed out. That is a lot of runs. It's great when we are able to wear our fur babies out. They definitely have energy to burn. Ty is something else sorry for the table but such a cute pic.

    @micaroo4 I am sorry to read about your brother I hope all goes well and he will be able to go home. I hope they are able to finish up on your windows today.

    @TeresaW2024 My reward for losing the weight is a whole new wardrobe. I feel that if I am able to get to my goal I deserve that. I hope everything goes well with Maggie. We do what we have to for our babies.

    What can I do to consume more water today?
    I have to agree with @micaroo4 on the water thing. There are times that water just does not taste good to me. I really once drink 60 ozs of water a day. I also drink decaffeinated tea.

    @lislisa123 I am sorry you had to deal with the family get together lunch. But as you posted "Every new day is another chance to change your life."

    @FushiaKat I am so very sorry for your loss.

    @19shmoo69 Yeah I lost mine yesterday. It sucks! I am going to miss the cheers for logging in. This was the first time I made it that long as I have and the cheers is what helped me to get there.

    @lislisa123 your cake story is very similar to a story that happened to me. We were at my MIL house for dinner one evening and I just as I was finishing up my dinner my MIL put a single serving cheesecake down next to John and I (my SIL works for a 7-11 convenience store and she brings home the food that is no longer aloud to be sold). I was so full from dinner I passed my cheesecake off to John. Just as I done that here comes my SIL with a chocolate, cookie dough, and marshmallow layered cake and put it in front of me. I said that's ok I don't want any. She said just take a bit, you will love it. I said I'm good. She opens the plastic container the cake is in and said No really try it. Goes and gets a spoon and puts it in my hand. At this point my will power is depleting. So I gave in and ended up eating the whole piece of cake. As I am eating this piece of cake John tells his sister that I am trying to lose weight and this stuff does not help. She replies. I only put it in front of her, what she does with it is on her! This has stuck in my head ever since. This is where I realized that I was like a puppet to these people and food. A few weeks later My MIL came to the house and handed me a bag and it was another piece of that cake(this cake is 800 calories a slice). As my MIL walked out of the kitchen I placed the bag in the trash. To this day that moment still leaves such an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. These are supposed to be people that support me and they are not.
    I told John a few days later about how that affected me and he agrees that I need to really stand my ground with them. It may hurt some feeling but they need to respect my wishes.

    I did go out and bought a new loveseat and couch for the living room. The set we have now is causing me to have back problems and I can't deal with it any more. I realized this while we were out camping, I had no problem with my back hurting the first day home sitting in my chair after watching one show I went to get up and my back was so sore I could hardly stand up. So it's out of here!

    I hope everyone has a blessed day and here is a few pics from our tripvhr1l0glomvi.jpg

    My brother is home, but he's miserable. He says he can't sleep, his back pain is through the roof, and when he moves, the spinning starts. He got no follow up care or instructions from the hospital. His doctor was notified, but no one has called him. He hasn't called them, because he can't drive there and doesn't want to take an Uber. He just wants to lie in bed. Prayers are appreciated.

    @trooworld when we are going to do an agility run, I have Vannie beside me and I have to look at the obstacles and figure out what commands I am going to give her ahead of time,. If I am taking too long, she barks so hard and long at me she cannot hear me🤣. Violet sounds like she keeps you on your toes! It is challenging when you have a dog who is a heavy chewer.

    @teresaw2024 poor little Maggie♥️, how old is she? I am sorry that you are losing that couple from the church, you really have to deal with a lot of things!

    @txcritter69 I found another coffee table on marketplace, I don't want to take a chance right now and spend too much money🤣. That's awesome that you were able to get a new loveseat and couch! Thank you so much for sharing the pictures, looks like you guys had a great time! I see that you have taught Diesel "middle" (him between your legs), I am trying to teach that to Ty right now, she can only hold it for about one second🤣.

    @Micaroo4 I am so sorry about your brother. That has to be so hard.

    I found that I can stay on track easily during the day but it is nighttime and snacking that does me in I have decided to try my hand at some embroidery, something to do just to keep my hands busy. Hope everybody had a great day

    Hello friends!

    I read some wonderful advice today that really resonated.

    Someone asked “how do I manage the hunger when I’m eating at a deficit?”

    The main consensus was this: hunger is not a bad thing. Eating at a deficit you should expect to feel hunger at times, and that’s ok.

    So I’m going to embrace the hunger! If I can sit in hunger for a couple hours in the evening I know I’ll sleep better, wake up feeling better and see that movement on the scale!
