I’m pleased about this week. Although I’ve been here before. I think the last year has been about doing and undoing the same 10 pounds. Time to snap out of it and just get it done!
Off for a hike today so I won’t go to bed guilty tonight

@ micaroo4 It’s raining here, I’m missing the warm weather (so are my tomatoes!).
@trooworld How was the party last night? I hope the strawberry mint does well I really think you’ll like it.
@Teresa2024 I’m glad you found something you can do with your wrist, I think seeing the doctor is a smart call.
@megnolia82 Have a great hike today!
Hi team! Coming on a bit early as I didn’t come on yesterday. The Easter Baskets for kids went great and the seed swap was a lot of fun. For the farm and garden club portion of yesterday at the library a 15-year-old who grows giant pumpkins did a talk, he loves robotics too so it was pretty fascinating (he has a fertilizer watering system called the Fertilizer Injector). I brought home too many seeds but I left about 100 packs. I talked to someone who brought asparagus plants to share and some woman walked off with 15 plants, I was so surprised I didn't say anything but I really wanted a couple. I went to my neighbor’s for a drink last night but was so tired I only stayed for a short time. I ended up eating too many pretzels last night, gotta go back to not having snacks in the house. I’m planning on cleaning and homework today and maybe some seed starting and possibly dinner at my next-door neighbor's house. Have a great Sunday!

@Jactop - Way to go!
@micaroo4 - Unintentional loss but still in your range. It's good that you made the adjustment though. I'm trying to pickup on that way of thinking. I did an extra workout to accommodate for a day out.
@tammymccrady6278 <Hugs>
@865jessica - Another loss this week. You're making great progress.
@trooworld - That's so cool your self portrait will be displayed in an art show. I hope you had fun at the fundraiser.
@19shmoo69 - Very impressive loss this week. Congrats!
@TeresaW2024 - I hope you figure out whats wrong with your wrist and it starts feeling better soon. That's great that you found a workout that wont affect your wrist.
@megnolia82 - Nice loss this week. I hope you enjoy your hike.
@Katmary71- I planted asparagus in my garden a couple years ago. They grew back last year. I'm hoping they come up this year too. I have friends that go asparagus and mushroom hunting. I enjoy hunting for morels. We find them on our property after rain and a few 60 degree days.
@vrafer - Awesome job!
Welcome to the group @Divya365 !
Well...I finished the week strong. I just did my exercises, even with my husband home. It's such a small house, there's no where for him to go but outside or sit in the room with me jumping around in front of him...lol.💪 Mission Slimpossible Strong!💪

Hello ladies and gents! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on. Tho ha have been so busy lately and I notice I do t get on here as much as when things are slower. It’s spring break now around here and I took the week off. Heading on a couple day trip a few hours away. Hubby just finished his 2nd bout of Covid and both kids have colds amd sore throats. Im the only one not sick (yet) but I find when I am really busy, my body doesn’t stop for sick. So now that its holidays, I’ll likely catch something
I have been absolutely horrible lately and not tracking a thing. I feel ashamed of my gain. Being on a trip there will be lots of eating out, but I’ll try to make some healthy choices. Wish me luck for the next week.
Reading over past posts, sorry for those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. Hugs to all of you!3 -

WEIGH IN UPDATES
WEIGH INS NEEDED TODAY: @littlebabekitty !vegan4lyfe2012 @Veta2018 @laurelfit57
TOMORROW REMINDERS: @AmbersWay @AustinRuadhain @Jactop
@sleepygirl79 I’m letting you do this once and that’s it, I’m sorry but it takes me extra time on here when I have to stop to close everything which is the weigh in spreadsheet, the word document I'm using to reply to everyone, and this group window and go report people not weighing in the captain’s thread (this IS the difference between me staying on as captain as I’m in this group for up to 90 minutes a day plus doing weigh ins alone especially on weekends when more people weigh in. I don’t have more time to give here.) and having a bad week or not feeling like it with an entire team weighing in really isn’t fair to us as captains. I’m sympathetic you had a bad week and get not wanting to but I went through this recently with another member and if I let it go it’s not fair to her and other team members. Next time you can use your last weigh-in, just weigh in, or be penalized for not weighing in going forward. Have fun on the trips and do good this week, you got this!
@Divya365 Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles, were happy you're here!
@Veta2018 I hope your asparagus comes up too! How fun to go hunting for asparagus and mushrooms, I didn’t know you could do that for asparagus to be honest. You’re doing great!
@19shmoo69 @vegan4lyfe2012 @askewcr @AustinRuadhain Congratulations to our top winners this week!
Hi team, been cleaning all day and have the tub ready so this is a fast one. Got in a good workout, made the skinnytaste black bean sweet potato bowl for dinner, and got some homework done so it’s been a good day. I got into pretzels last night and did not stop at one serving darnit. I’m starting some more seeds after the tub and hoping to read a bit before bed as I've had no time to do it lately. Have a great Sunday night and wonderful Monday, let’s go into the new week strong!

@19shmoo69 Congrats on being the top dog! @vegan4lyfe2012 @askewcr @AustinRuadhain yay for making it onto the leaderboard!
@vrafer Congrats on the loss!
@TeresaW2024 You are zooming through that huge puzzle, wow. I'm sorry your wrist isn't getting better. I hope the orthopedic doctor helps. Oh that's great you found a workout program that can work for you.
@megnolia82 Congrats! I hope you enjoyed the hike.
@Katmary71 Some parts (the dancing) were fun but there were really boring speeches for 3 hours during the dinner portion.
We sat at a table with nice people, one of them I actually knew from being an ex girlfriend of a friend. I hope the strawberry mint sprouts, too, I looked it up and it looks interesting. I didn't come on yesterday, I was so tired and a bit hungover lol. I'm glad the Easter baskets went well and you had fun with the seed swap, which were your favorite seeds you got? That's too bad about the asparagus plants. Sounds like you need to dump the pretzels, eh?
@Divya365 Welcome to the team! Nice to "meet" you!
@Veta2018 Thank you! I did have fun. Yay for finishing the week strong!
@sleepygirl79 Sorry everyone is sick, I hope you can avoid it. Good luck next week.
Hi all. The event Saturday night was a mixed bag: we had to sit through 3 hours of speeches throughout dinner before we got to the fun dancing part. I occupied my time by drinking free wine lol. I drank too much wine, I felt it yesterday which is why I didn't come on here. I wasn't feeling that well + I didn't sleep much so I was tired. Yesterday, it rained but I thought it had stopped so we drove 45 mins into the mountains to a doggie's sweet 16 party (turned 16 years old). It started raining on the way up there, unfortunately. When we got there, it was cold and windy. I wasn't dressed warm enough. We only stayed 5 minutes because we brought both dogs and Violet was barking at people and it embarrassed us and we didn't want to disrupt the party. So, we drove 45 mins back home lol. Got home and I laid on the couch and napped. Here are some pics from Saturday night.

@Divya365 - Hello, my friend! How fun that you were put on the same team as me!
@trooworld - 3 freaking HOURS?!? I would not have been able to sit for that long. Kudos to you! Love your outfit - you look so sassy! Sorry Violet embarrassed you. Kids! Amirite!?!
I am still sick, but my throat feels a little better. I came in to work because I have payroll and other necessities that have to get done. I was hoping my boss would tell me to leave after I finished, but alas...nope. He just said he was steering clear of me because he leaves on vacation on Wednesday.
To those of you that I send random cards to, I just got caught up with my family Easter cards. I'll get working on the ones for all y'all, but they might be a tad late. But HOLY WEEK are they ever GORGEOUS! Yes, I'm tooting my own horn
I hope everyone is able to stick to their plans today. I brought such a random assortment of food to work today... salad, steamed potato, rice, spinach, some of the soup Hunter made me on Friday. But I think I'll make a cup of oatmeal first. Oh - and I'm on day 93 of no soda. When should I stop counting?

There's a cardinal outside my window here at the office; that's a sign that an angel is watching over me. 🐦5

@Katmary71 That 15-year-old kid is interesting and very bright! Giant pumpkins are fun! That was so rude of that person to take 15 plants. What is wrong with this self-entitled mentality these days? At least you know how to grow asparagus.
@Veta2018, you need to get your husband up to do those exercises with you!
@trooworld Your pictures of you at the event are great. I love those earrings!! Girl, if I had free wine, I would be drinking too much of it too. That was a bummer that the dog party didn’t work out. Do your dogs like being in a car?
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope you start feeling better soon! Your boss should have let you go home. I am looking forward to my card! Everything you create is beautiful.
Good morning! Well, yesterday was a bust! After I wrote to you all that we were going to church, Joe went into the bathroom and passed out. Actually, it was amazing because he had been holding onto the door jab for dear life and had managed to call my name. I had to get him to the floor because he wasn’t alert enough to walk, and then I made him crawl to the bedroom. After that, he was pretty much useless the rest of the day, so we just stayed home so he could rest. He is better today, and with his family coming this weekend, he better stay that way!
I did a 15-minute rebounder workout, and I love this woman I found on YouTube. I'm off to clean!

Checking in.
Not a great eating weekend.
Can't say I'm not a little bit disappointed that I didn't chart with my loss from last week, but I understand how ratios work and why.
I was really hoping to keep my weight loss slower even than that because I worry I'm already getting a little bit of dysmorphia regarding my body image/weight as it concerns my effort in the gym and at eating. It's weird, and I don't like it.
I'll keep on trucking through, just having weird feelings.3 -
I have to admit I had to reread the post that @Katmary71 made. I reread it a few times. With that said I agree. If your having a bad day, days or week you need to share the weigh in. Believe it or not there is an encouragement there. Others that are struggling may see that they're not alone in the struggle. Or they may be able to give the encouragement you need. That is the whole point of these groups. It's to encourage each other in the UPS and DOWNS.
I know personally I've posted 10 pound gains before. At one time it was gain 5 lose 4 gain 10 lose 2 gain 10. So many were there throwing positivity my way. The same can and will happen to you if and when the weigh in is posted.
Hope that makes sense.5 -
Monday Weigh-in

I am sorry to have let the team down this week. Last week (spring break stuff) got away from me. Ah, well, Back at it! With @19shmoo69's great post right above me, here I am posting an in-the-red weigh-in. As he says, this is a long game!
On the plus side, I went trail riding on Saturday. I had not been on a horse in years, and it was delightful, even with a horse that I had never met before! I could only do it because I have been at work with the group and met the weight limit for the available horse. So woohoo for that!
We went riding in the blackland prairie of central Texas, an area that was the continental coastline 250 million years ago. It still feels like coastline there. Geology is amazing! Also flora and fauna. @micaroo4 -- I saw my first cardinal of the year! 🐦
So-- back to work! Here's today's plan:
Monday Plan
🟢 Tiny Habit: Kitchen pushup so far, I have done 2!
⚪ Floors: 5 so far, I have done 3!
🟢 Eat a salad! lunch was spring greens, a kiwi, strawberries & garbanzo beans
Eat steamed greens
45 minutes exercise
Track all my food and check out at day's end3 -

@trooworld Oh no the speeches sound awful! You looked absolutely stunning I love all of it you look beautiful and stylish! Hm I got some pretty columbine flowers, those are probably my favorite from the swap. I bet getting back home after that drive and laying on the couch felt amazing! I’m glad you got some good dancing in too.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I’m glad your throat is feeling a little better, hope the rest of you follows suit soon. Happy 93 days of no soda, wtg! You definitely have to hit 100 in a week so don’t stop now! A bowl of oatmeal sounds amazing yum.
@micaroo4 Love that I just get loud blue jays, enjoy the cardinal message.
@TeresaW2024 Funny my neighbor asked why I hadn’t said anything to the woman who took all the plants. She’s very outspoken and of course when I think of things later I wish I’d said something. Oh no thank goodness Joe wasn’t hurt! I’m so glad today is going better for him, that must’ve scared the heck out of you. I’m curious to check out the rebounder video will you please post it?
@ninyagwa Hugs to you, I wish you’d charted too. I think your being aware of weird feelings says a lot and as long as you know the difference between being at a point where there’s caution vs needing help is important. If you can deal with it through journaling or talking about it with others or possibly with a counselor it can help you grow and get stronger. Losing slower is helping you adjust to the changes if I’m reading correctly, right?
@19shmoo69 I think this is a good point about support and you’ve always been great about posting your weigh ins. That’s one area all of us can understand in this group so we aren’t alone. Teresa was so nice to me one time when I’d gained and felt like I’d let everyone down if she hadn’t been so awesome I would’ve quit the group that night.
@AustinRuadhain LOL it’s like Darren posted support for you to come with your gain right?! This group is one of the many ways I realized I wasn’t alone with a lot of what I go through. Trail riding sounds awesome, I’m glad you were able to go how fun! Great planning for today, I’m starting to plan like that for each day too.
Hi team! I got a bunch done earlier and just finished homework, hoping for some garden time right after dinner then I need to do some planning for the charity event I’m leader for tonight as it’s coming up fast. Are any of you thinking on Spring goals? Maybe we need a spring challenge soon? Have an awesome night and great Tuesday.

GROUP QUESTION
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE NOW THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED YOU'D LIKE IN THE FUTURE?
My Answer
Anything routine, I used to be very spontaneous and hated structure and doing the same thing every day. With being injured I have to plan how to use my energy each day and how to spend the couple hours I'm able to do things so for that and to get things accomplished it's a necessity. Plus planning if I need mobility equipment etc. It's comforting now and keeps me on track.3 -
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE NOW THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED YOU'D LIKE IN THE FUTURE?
Certain types of exercise, i.e. running and some strength training.
But also some foods like collard greens, kale and some other bitter greens. Also there are meats that when I was younger I would gag on a thought of having to eat them. But now I'll try just about anything. I once found a package of "miscellaneous meat". It was tasty and would've never gave it a second chance back in the day.3 -

@trooworld- You look Great! I love your sequence pants.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - You are doing awesome with 93 no soda days! Go for 100!
@TeresaW2024 - Oh...I've been working on him. He says he burns enough calories working. So, I'm trying to get him to lift weights with me. I probably drive him crazy pacing our little house and I tell him all the calories he's eating too. Wow...that must of been difficult getting Joe to the bedroom by yourself.
@AustinRuadhain - I haven't been on a horse in years. I'm sure that was fun.
@AustinRuadhain and @micaroo4 - The cardinal is the state bird here in Indiana. My husband and I seen one the other day. He said, "You know it's spring when you start seeing cardinals.🐦"
GROUP QUESTION
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE NOW THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED YOU'D LIKE IN THE FUTURE?
I'll have to admit that I'm really starting to enjoy exercising. I used to hate cardio. I've built up my agility and stamina. I've also learn how to breath during my workouts. Inhale on contraction and exhale during exertion. I'm also mindful of my posture and enjoy moving to a strong beat. I kind of look forward to my exercise and sometimes, I stretch them out a little longer.💪 Mission Slimpossible Strong!💪

@Katmary71 A spring challenge would be fun. Something about spring cleaning and getting outdoors? Hmm!
And would a Tiny Habits thing be fun at some point? I have been doing that. Maybe after the spring thing?
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE NOW THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED YOU'D LIKE IN THE FUTURE?
Salads! Today, I had a big bowl of greens with a few strawberries, a chopped kiwi, 1/2 c garbanzo beans, and a dash of balsamic vinegar, and felt on top if the world. I am learning to love big bowls of greens.

I can say that I do not hate exercise anymore!
@trooworld - you are GORGEOUS in your pictures!
@19shmoo69 - can you please expound on where you "found" a package of miscellaneous meat?! In the back of your freezer? At a store? On a street corner? I'm concerned because your family eats street candy......
@TeresaW2024 - I really hope that Joe and your wrist feel better and you enjoy the visit from the fam.
