    Hi, I got my bagels made and some brown rice portioned and in the freezer. Today, I'll be making some healthy hamburger and putting it in the freezer. I made stuffed bell peppers with brown rice the other day. Getting ready for football season. While hubby is eating his fattening football food, I'll be eating some healthier food.

    @19shmoo69 Yep adorable pup!

    @txcritter69 I'm so glad your back is feeling better, less pain in the mornings is awesome!

    @trooworld Yikes your HOA sounds awful I'm glad the PITA is gone! That's a great article! I thought you'd posted the challenge before but I think it may have been a link, not sure now. Oh the hoodie after last week's heat is perfect I'd been thinking I couldn't wait for fall pjs!

    @TeresaW2024 Perfect I'm glad you're in for the Rainbow Challenge! I'm glad you're not taking on too much with the upcoming events.

    @baodell17724 You're welcome! I saw a woman with a walker like that at the store you don't see those often! You're very welcome!

    @maryirisfroehlich I understand we'll miss you, keep being awesome and thank you for being part of Mission Slimpossibles, if you ever change your mind the door is always open to you.

    @DrewsAnna Great job setting yourself up for success!

    Hi team! The charity event last night went well, I ended up sticking around for all of it. We did real well with the raffle tickets, not sure what our percentage of the night was but it was definitely a success. I didn't end up working today so I'm puttering in the yard and house but not getting much done. I did work out though! Eating healthy today too the last two nights were not healthy and I'm feeling it. Have a great Friday night! I'm headed to the greenhouse so we can get all our dirt there for the morning.

    Hi All- This week has been interesting. My son moved out. Both of my children have lived here since graduating from college. They have struggled to find jobs using their degrees. I have opinions about the job market, but this isn't the place to discuss them. Anyway, he found roommates and a place and we moved his stuff on Monday night. This should be a great learning experience for him. I'm happy for him.

    A little bit frustrated today. Even when I keep my calories under control, my weight bounces up and down. Today it was almost back to 220 lb. even though I've been watching my calories! Tomorrow is weigh in day, and I suspect I will be up, regardless of what I do. It makes me feel out of control, and like I shouldn't try. I'm also having trouble focusing, possibly because life is overwhelming right now, though in a good way. It makes it hard for me to keep up with the posts on here. Sorry about that. ><

    @trooworld Thanks! I reached my small goal of getting back into the 200's! It's been 9 years. The next goal is to get back down to 285 lbs.

    You're not alone with being frustrated... we've ALL had those days after stepping on the scale! Our bodies just retain weight depending on the amount of salt in processed food (or even the little we may use in our clean eating). My weight this week has also been bouncing around - up and down. Some days I've been good in drinking a lot of water which flushes fat out of my system... other days not! Don't lose heart and hope, my friend!

    @trooworld my only advice on the rebounder is to get one that is highly rated and isn’t too cheaply made. The BCAN I got from Amazon is a good rebounder, and I will let you know if you like it. :) My mom loves her new diet, but I wonder how long it will last. For instance, we have two eating events at the church next month. Then there are the holidays. But she is doing this for her health, so she just might stick to it. Time will tell. :) Have a fun Sunday!

    @morenin, unfortunately, there is much more to losing weight than just tracking calories. Did you eat overly processed things, and did you retain water from that food? Have you been exercising extra, and have you been retaining water? You mention that your life is overwhelming. That can raise your Cortisol and make it harder to lose weight. Be gentle with yourself and try to focus on making healthy choices and the scale will catch up. :)

    @19shmoo69 This is a great-looking firewood shed for a man who doesn’t have many carpentry skills. :)


    Good morning! It's a cool, rainy day here. My great-nieces stayed the night again so they could come to church with us. They are so much fun to have around. However, Maggie doesn’t seem as happy. She is so jealous of these girls. :D Not much else going on. I might use my rebounder later this afternoon to get in some movement. Have a blessed day!

    Lol... I accidentally had Avery healthy breakfast. Hubby wanted creamed chipped beef and I don't really like it. So, I had one of my homemade bagels with smoked salmon cream cheese and a tomato wheel. 1/4 avocado, an egg, and an orange.

    It was so darn good. 😋😋

    Sorry folks, I am playing catch-up once again.

    @19shmoo69 your pup is so cute!! I'm liking that you can post pictures, that's a great firewood shed.

    @katmary71 love your pictures, is that in a yoga studio? I'm so glad that your charity event went well! I love days when I can just putter♥️

    @trooworld it sounds like they are being very thorough before your surgery. That is very interesting that they take your gallbladder out if there are any stones. The aftercare also sounds very thorough, sounds like you are in good hands! I too am enjoying the cooler weather, it's nice to put on hoodies! Really hope that physical therapy helps! That's a lot, 4 to 6 times a week. Thanks for the reminder, I need to book my shots :-).

    @TeresaW2024 I love how you and your sister support each other in the good, the bad and the booze🤣.

    @DrewsAnna those bagels look delicious!

    @txcritter i'm so glad that training is going well with Diesel! Sounds like Diesel reverted to a little hearding behavior. I have to watch for that with Ty, when she was a couple months old she nipped at my calves a couple of times, I definitely don't want that around my grandkids.

    @Cornanda that's great that your son was able to move out. How are you doing?

    I did not have a stellar week for tracking. I did a bunch of meal prep yesterday, I have a couple more things to get done today so I won't have an excuse for picking up food on the way home from training. I went with my daughter this morning to a Penjing workshop. Instead of giving each other gifts of things we do something where we can go spend time together. So this was my daughter's birthday present this year. I'm not very artistic but it turned out OK lol.
    I am still an amazing sleeper, I wake up to over 700 activity points every morning🤣. MFP says it is a Fitbit problem and Fitbit is saying absolutely nothing.
    On to a new week, my goal is to get back to tracking!

    @trooworld - His leaving probably does not. He had to eat my healthy meals and keep snacks in his room. :) I hope that PT will help your knee, and glad you have things moving on the surgery.

    @morenin- I've been there many times and it doesn't feel good. When I tell myself that I am a healthier person for exercising and eating healthier- focus on my overall health- then I don't get as upset when the scale is stuck. Different things work for different people though. :)

    @865jessica - Yay protein. Glad you are feeling better.

    @lislisa123 - congrats! That's amazing!

    @19shmoo69 - I think your shed looks awesome!

    @DrewsAnna - Yum!

    @laurelfit57 - I'm doing well thank you for asking, I was a bit up and down before he left because I get emotional about endings, but now I'm just happy for him. It is a great idea to spend time together. I'm going to keep that in mind for my two.

    @teresaw2024- Sounds like Maggie is being dramatic. Dogs are good at that. How is her leg doing? I'm glad the pastor went along with your requests.


    Wishing everyone a good week!

    @Cornanda Congratulations to your son on moving out! How are you feeling about it?

    @trooworld Once a week for PT is reasonable, I read that wrong and thought it was 4-6 times a week at first! Dinner sounds yummy for yesterday! Oh I'm hoping to hear you went to water aerobics and fought the fear! You need some sassy music in headphones to walk through that door. I'd love to see your Halloween craft! Have fun at the bookstore that should be a good time.

    @morenin Don't feel bad just check in when you can, we're always happy to hear from you when you're able to post.

    @865jessica I think you're going to do awesome this week, keep feeling better!

    @lisalisa123 Congratulations hitting the 200s! 285 here you come!

    @baodell17724 Love your advice to @morenin !

    @19shmoo69 Want to partner up for the walking challenge again? The firewood stand looks awesome! I need you to visit and build me garden beds!

    @TeresaW2024 All this rebounder talk has me wanting to try one, I HAD a cheap one ages ago but when I started going to the functional medicine clinic a woman there kept trying to get me to give it a shot and I didn't want to. Go Mom I'm impressed! Is she being strict with it? Poor Maggie lol, animals are so funny. Asher's been incredibly relaxed the last two weeks since my roommate moved out, he's always laying on his back somewhere and he's a skittish cat!

    @DrewsAnna Yum looks very healthy!

    @laurelfit57 Thanks! I'm not sure if yoga classes are at that studio, they do frequency-type medicine, vibration plates, sound healing so yoga would fit in. I signed up to be kept up to date on the events. I love experience gifts, the workshop sounds fascinating do you learn how to shape plants?

    Hi team! Sorry for not posting much this weekend, yesterday the garden club repotted all the seedlings and I worked in the yard when I got home. Today I got the charity minutes done and ran errands plus went to the greenhouse to reorganize and straighten up. Doing a little better with diet but not great. Speaking of.....

    Orange: pepper, carrot, mango, pumpkin
