@FushiaKat - tell your DH he doesn't need to police your diet. You are doing just fine with maintaining in your goal range. Butt out.2

Sorry I've been a ghost around here. For those of you that don't know, my youngest daughter is Bipolar. She has been having dark thoughts and yesterday she decided to get inpatient treatment. If you're the praying type, please pray for her to learn some new techniques to stomp out those thoughts when they come into her mind. Peace and calm would be good, too. Thanks, guys~7

@mkksemail Interesting, the chocolate sounds like it would be weird in tea but I bet in something like Trader Joe’s maple espresso tea it would be awesome. I’ve done the latte flavored one before in coffee and it was pretty good. I’ve switched to plant-based creamers which aren’t quite as bad as the sugary artificial ones but no real benefit like having some protein. I’ll get that if it goes on sale again to try!
@SatanLuciferJones @UTMom81 Welcome to Misison Slimpossibles! @SatanLuciferJones you HAVE to tell us the background on that handle name.
@19shmoo69 what nutritional plan are you doing’?
@FushiaKat I think you know exactly what you’re doing and have every right to be proud of it. I think along with eating issues many of us have had trouble speaking up for ourselves. Big hug to you.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Hugs and prayers for your daughter and family. Peace and calm vibes sent your way!
Hi friends. Same stuff here, did my workout then harvested basil, I got super hot in a long-sleeved tee and jeans but got it done. I read there’s a tomato pollen allergy where if you’re allergic to latex and/or grasses your immune system can misinterpret tomato plants as those. Been real tired from nightmares the last couple nights. The guy who owns the lot that burned down the fence seems like he may be willing to work with us thank goodness. Have a great Wednesday!
No Zero Days- good leg/ab strength and stretching then food bank farm. Healthy food and under calories, good water.

Hi everyone. Today is my 43rd birthday 🎂 and I'm the heaviest I've ever been (159.2 lbs). I do well in these groups initially, but then I tend to lose steam. I hope I can stick to it this time around.
During the pandemic, I was working from home 2 days a week and the remainder in the office. But because of lockdown, only essential workers were allowed in the building; which means the vending machines were not serviced for two years. During that time, I managed to get down to 125 lbs which felt amazing, but since the world is getting back to normal, my weight is increasing.
I spend most of my weekdays as a desk jockey, but I still work from home twice a week, so I ordered a desk treadmill for my adjustable desk to walk while working at home. But the delivery has been delayed. 😒
RE: My handle 😈
My husband NEVER calls me by my name. He always comes up with outrageous and funny nicknames. After watching the movie Horrible Bosses that featured Jamie Foxx as M*****F*****Jones, my husband started tacking on Jones to every one of my nicknames. He also jokingly called me Satan or Lucifer whenever I disagreed with him, so SLJ became a nickname that I heard often and so I adopted it online.

@SatanLuciferJones - I wondered about the name....felt a little reluctant to welcome Satan to the team! But it seems like you are a human after all, so Welcome! I've thought about a desk treadmill, but I envision all manner of horrible accidents. I use a stand up desk at home and at the office. The fact that I'm not sitting is enough to keep me moving...if I'm already standing, walking off to get something or talk to someone takes almost no thought or effort since I'm already on my feet. I'm probably less efficient because I'm standing, but it's worth it to keep more active.

@Katmary71 I'm currently doing carnivore. While I may be healthier but my weight fluctuates too much.
A few years ago I bought a diet/exercise plan. It really got monotonous. I did see slow progress so I'm going to give it another whirl.2 -

Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a great Thursday, I had my neighbor over for dinner and am buzzed and wiped out so headed to bed. I'll catch up tomorrow after the greenhouse. Keep being awesome!3

Good Morning!
Good to see everyone in moving along in this circle of life.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope your daughter is able to get the help she needs. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers
@AmbersWay I am still praying for you and your family
It has been a busy week for me. I finally figured out where to plant my cucumbers. My mini garden is growing.

Hubby and I built 2 boxes so cucumbers are in one and more cantaloupe is in the other. Still have to add the trellis. This will be the last round of gardening for me this yr. I need to focus on getting my new garden area up and running for next spring.
I also repainted my tomato box and will be transplanting my 2 tomato plants in to it to say or tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
My husband has fractured 7ribs mostly posterior and 1 anterior, scapula and C3.
He’s up and moving some and more talkative. Fracture his top anterior rib has affected his face. He has a thoracic tube and it’s not pretty. He’s banged up but nothing requiring stitches.
We had to transfer him to another hospital and thankfully we did, the care is night and day difference.
So far they’ve ruled out surgery. Now hoping it heals well on its own.
I’m trying to get steps in and eat decently. But can’t do catch up. Im still here though.
Take care and power on everyone 🙌🏻5 -
@broncobuddee I would love to have Friday
@AmbersWay I'm glad he doesn't need surgery and that's he's getting the care he needs!1 -

Thank God your husband is talkative. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sending good wishes for a fast recovery. 🦋🦋🦋2 -
@trooworld- Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about the layoffs. I hope you don't get too sick either. Will be thinking of you.
@ambersway- that's great news! Will keep praying for you.1 -
@AmbersWay - your report sounds like a bit of good news. You and your husband remain in my prayers.1

@bethanie0825 Sorry - forgot to ask for starting weight, too, at your convenience.2 -
@SatanLuciferJones LOL @micaroo4 said it perfectly about not being sure if I should welcome Satan Lucifer to our group but figured there was a story there! Happy 43 birthday, I hope you stick around too so on your 44th birthday we can talk about how far you’ve come.
@19shmoo69 I hope it goes well for you.
@trooworld I hadn’t realized BGM could be used on animals, I’m going to tell a friend of mine whose cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. I hope you don’t get either C, take good care and hope you’re over it soon! Wow that’s a lot of coworkers to lose at once, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you’re still prediabetic vs diabetic. Glad premium is going well!
@txcritter69 Your garden is looking great, love all the aqua!
@tfelts147 Yes you DO!
@AmbersWay Continued prayers for you and your husband. I’m glad he’s more talkative and moving now and hope for a full recovery.
Hi team. Didn’t get much sleep but got a lot done today, finished my work, fertilized and spread worm compost in all the veggies, stacked up burnt fence pieces, and got the fire report. A woman called the charity asking for help putting her flowers in pots, she wasn’t expecting another disabled person to help her but we hit it off on the phone so I’m looking forward to it tomorrow. Have a great Friday!

Welp, no diet change. The other plan would actually cost more for food. I'll have too......3

@trooworld I hope so. I need discipline. Uniquely people think overweight people are that way because all we do is eat. One problem is most healthy food double or triple the cost of junk. If your poor or broke you eat what you can afford. While I'm trying to eat healthy and stay away from junk some times the cost gets to me.
I'll stop I can't remember what I was talking about.2 -

My phone's news feed is spying on my reading! This popped up in my news feed a couple hours after reading here:

@mkksemail burgers in general aren't unhealthy except for the bread. Bread (or anything )with modern American wheat is unhealthy. The junk is the chips, sweets, veggie oil fried stuff, etc.....all of that stuff is so much cheaper than whole meat and whole veggies.4

@19shmoo69 You could probably come up with one on your own, if you’re doing carnivore now but are thinking of something different what about trying Paleo or Keto? Is it more for having structure than what the actual diet is to do a plan? I’m willing to brainstorm with you if you want to bounce ideas off of me. Think about what you can actually stick with for awhile.
@teresasf Hi Teresa, welcome to Mission Slimpossibles!
@micaroo4 Hope you’re on a fun overnight adventure!
@trooworld So Chris, if cutting coffee creamer out corresponds with your drop could your husband be right??? Haha I’m just kidding, don’t throw lamps at me or anything. I’m sure not eating out helped a lot. I actually remembered my AllRecipes password to save that, I wish we could pin All Recipe recipes. I think I made yours before and it was really good.
@mkksemail Yeah it did, what the heck?!? I’m curious to read it but don’t want that to pop up on Facebook and Google now too! Creepy.
Hi friends! I got up and worked out then went and helped check drip systems, fertilize, trim, and add extra dirt to a bunch of rose bushes and flowers for about 25 pots (thank goodness I brought my garden stool). The woman was great, she hung out with me and we chatted the whole time and plan to get together again soon. It was interesting she had stage 4 melanoma and had gene therapy that didn’t work so she was sent to hospice expecting to be dead soon. After 6 months she went to the oncologist saying she didn’t feel bad at all and the gene therapy had kicked in later than expected, she’s one of two of his miracle patients and in remission. I’m extremely worn out though and came home and slept for a couple hours. The old farm manager is coming to volunteer tomorrow with us at the farm so I’m looking forward to that, he left to pursue being a climbing instructor and will be working in Yosemite in fall. I was going to start the fall crops at the greenhouse but want to hang out at the farm with everyone instead. Have a great Saturday!
