Mission Slimpossibles Team Chat October 2025

Jillian Michaels used to say this about setbacks: "You’re not going to be perfect all the time. You’ll miss a workout at some point or eat something that isn’t the healthiest. Just get back on the wagon. It’s that simple. You get a flat tire, you fix it and move on. You don’t jump out of the car, flog yourself, and then slash your other three tires."
So when that voice in your head tells you that you've already blown it, so you might as well eat - don't listen. Pull over! Fix it! Don't slash those 3 good tires!

@19shmoo69 - DARREN! IS THAT YOU WEARING A STRYPER T-SHIRT? I LOVE STRYPER! Did we talk about this before?
@bobboyardee - good for you, working through this binge issue and not slashing the other three tires!
Congrats @19shmoo69 @txcritter69 @trooworld for making it to the leaderboard!
@trooworld - you now have 2 profiles when I tag you- both with wonder woman as the pic- the blank one is gone, but still two…… Ugh
Happy Monday if such a thing is possible!

It's 6:30am, and we're holed up in our hotel room for now; I'm enjoying a cup of hot tea while Rich gets ready for the day. It has poured all night, and today looks like more of the same, but with strong winds. There's no fitness room at this little hotel, so my ST workout this morning was body weight exercises here in the room. We've got rain gear, but I'm not sure if I can convince Rich to do much outside in this weather. So it looks like a museum day and a shopping day; two of his favorite activities anyway. The bike trail is right behind the hotel, so I can go for a walk in the rain if Rich decides to just read or watch TV in the room.
This isn't quite the vacation that we planned, but at least we aren't at work! We'll make the best of it. Rich is already planning to come back to Cape Cod again, because this isn't how he wants to remember it.

Good Morning!
@bobboyardee journaling is something I want to get into too. I hear there are a lot of benefits to it to just get your thoughts and feelings written down. WW has a workshop where they give you questions to reflect and write down your thoughts on. It was nice.
@Katmary71
I have a CRV as well. Plan is to drive it until it won’t drive any longer. I do like it but think I’m going to try Toyota next. I really like the Subarus that I had but their engines all crapped out at 10 years and would cost to much to fix. Maybe they have fixed this in recent years but we will see.
Organizing project is still ongoing. I’m ordering some more shelving to keep bins organized. I found some Neptune blue steel ones so I’ll measure and more than likely order those. It’s probably going to take me rest of the school year to finish due to classes but will try to complete sooner.Dogs are doing well! My youngest turns 8 this month (time flies!) and my oldest sugarversary (one year since being diagnosed with diabetes) is today. She’s been happy and perky this weekend so we will see how she does over the next few months.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

@micaroo4 love the Jillian quote will have to save it for later! And definitely come back to Cape Cod. It’s a lovely vacation spot and I’ve been many times!
@19shmoo69 that sounds like a fun night and fond memory!
@bobboyardee you got this!

Congrats to the whole team for achieving 1st place by pounds! A special shoutout goes to @19shmoo69 , @Cornanda , and @txcritter69 for leading the way !
@TeresaW2024 Thank you ! Yes, I wish I had a "normal" dog lol. I vote for you reading again! :) Sorry about the dry weather and your bloody nose. How was church? What is Refocu? Have a good day!
@Katmary71 I thought something was wrong lol . Oh gosh, it was so upsetting...Violet actually wrangled herself out of her harness partially, so I was super upset and anxious. I bet it is challenging with the kitties being overwhelmed. It's hard to show them at their best when they are like that. The book is really interesting. I'll have to process the zoo pics and didn't have time to do it yesterday, darn it. Hahaha about my painting looking like your mom! I think he's definitely saying that. Light gray is a great color, it shouldn't show much dirt. I'm glad you love it! Sorry about what happened at the adoption event. Poor kitties. I hope you enjoyed breakfast.
@bobboyardee It's good to reflect on what happened . You've made some good reflections. I use an app to journal (although I haven't done it in a while), it has a free version but I use the paid version: Day One. I really like it, I can dictate my entry to it or attach an audio clip or photo, it's fun. Good luck, I hope you find what works for you. Journaling can produce some great ideas! Good job closing the kitchen.
@Veta2018 Congrats on the loss !
@Cornanda Oh man , I hate this site sometimes! LOL I don't know if I can do anything about that but it's nice to know about.
@micaroo4 Too bad about the rain . I'm glad you have contingent plans.
@19shmoo69 It looks like you had a good time ! Great pictures.
Hi all. Yesterday was nice: I went to the gym and DIDN'T have to rearrange my workout due to business, went to the gym and walked around, went to the coffeehouse and read, helped my SIL with her Halloween costume, came home and cooked some chicken, some Beef and Bulgur-Stuffed Zucchini, and extra bulgur; and I did some crafting. I made transparent ghost bookmarks! They are so fun. I will include a pic below.
Water intake yesterday: 48 oz
Count your steps/activity with us:
My Halloween read (Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, it's the first vampire book ever written!) with the ghost bookmark I made yesterday:

@Katmary71 What an awful ordeal for poor Dickens! That adoption event does sound poorly run. Are there other places you can take them? I’m glad you like your CRV. I don’t think mine runs rough at all. I was driving an Acura RDX, which felt much rougher to me. 🙂
@trooworld Church was good. I misspelled the word. It is Refocus, a comprehensive church revivalization effort we are undertaking to determine our main priorities and direction. We have done things like create new mission and vision statements. Yesterday was all about defining our small groups, like Sunday school, men’s and women’s groups, etc. It’s interesting and hopefully will end up being worth the effort. I love those bookmarks! So freaking cute!! 😍
Good morning! I need to make this quit because I’ve gotta get ready to go to Washington Farms with my sister, niece, and the kiddos. It’s a huge pumpkin patch, corn maze, fun things to do kind of place. Every year, I see friends' pics of their kids there having so much fun, so I’m excited that I’m finally going to go with my own kids. And the weather is perfect today, so yayyyy! 🌞3 -
Happy Thanksgiving to all of Canada!

CW 146.8Sorry it's late. Been very busy getting ready to head out Friday. I am needing to pause my WI until I get back from Florida. This is going to be an unpredictable trip as we are going to be traveling with friends and I am not sure if I will have free time to jump in here.
I have to make this short so have a Blessed Day.

Hey, all! Been super busy taking care of Oliver. Doctors said the EEG showed that all those twitches and shakes were actual seizures and the medicine was not suppressing them completely. He’s being weaned off Keppra, staying on the Trileptal, and slowly adding Clobazam. Poor little guy. He’s such a trooper. And as if we didn’t have enough on our plate, Brayden got Croup and had to be rushed to the ER on Saturday because her breathing was so labored. ER doctor said it was a good thing she was taken there because her airways were almost completely closed up. The only reason she was still breathing was because she was crying so hard, it was forcing the air in and out. She got a dose of steroids there. She was feeling better yesterday, but woke up this morning sounding bad again, so Hunter was able to get her in to see the doctor and she got another dose of steroids. I swear, these behbehs will be the death of me yet! Grammy can’t handle all this sickness.
I did manage to get the Halloween cards done and I’ll be dropping them in the mail this evening. So Sandra, Kathy, Valeta, Theresa, Chris and Drew, I encourage you all to open them with care…just in case…wouldn’t want little bits getting everywhere if the post office tries running them through machines even though I used the non-machineable postage for them. I hope you all get a little chuckle out of them!
Down 2 pounds from last week. Feeling positive. I’ve gotta lose this weight. I had to represent the county at a Developers Day tour last Thursday. I just saw the pictures posted and I look like a freaking bloated walrus. Glad I went shopping last night and got lots of tofu and fresh veggies and fruits. I never want to look like this again!
DISCUSSION QUESTION: Have you found a way to enjoy a favorite food in a lighter or healthier version? I enjoy an “eggy” scramble every once in a while. I’ve been spending big bucks on Just Egg. I finally bought some black salt and now make it with extra firm silken tofu. Bigger portion, higher protein, less fat and a little fiber thrown in, too. Oh – and way cheaper, too!
2025 is MY year!

Happy Thanksgiving Canadian friends!
@19shmoo69 Very sweet daughter how fun that you go together to see bands! Is that her in the second photo to your left? I’m not familiar with either band I’ll have to check them out.
@micaroo4 A museum and shopping day sounds fun! Great job on knocking out the body weight exercises. Haha you definitely look like you’re having more fun than Rich! Glad you got some walking in.
@gemwolf110 That’s what I was hoping for with the CRV that it’s super reliable and lasts a long time! My Camry was a 1999 and was still running great though CarMax claimed the transmission was going. Can’t go wrong with Hondas or Toyotas. I heard some issues with Suburus which had me concerned, hopefully they have fixed them. What kind of Toyota are you thinking of? Since moving all my mushroom stuff out of my roommate’s room and getting space cleared for her in the kitchen I’m thinking of organizing all the time too. I want some of the pantry shelving in the kitchen and shelving in the garage but for now need to try and declutter. I’m glad your oldest pup is doing well with her/his diabetes. Time really does fly with having pets.
@trooworld That’s terrifying Violet was getting out of her harness, I get why you were so upset that’s so scary! Thanks! Your meal sounds delicious I love bulgur. Love your bookmarks!
@TeresaW2024 No the only place we show kittens is Petco, otherwise their info is on Petfinder and if someone calls I can arrange to have them come to my house which is ideal. We just started doing Friday adoptions but it’s not going well and it’s hard enough going all day Sat for me, I usually end up staying home Sundays to recover from it. Have a wonderful time at Washington Farms sounds so fun!
@txcritter69 How long will you be gone? I can copy your weight over for next week if you’re just missing one weigh in. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope the changes help Oliver have less seizures, it’s so sad he’s going through all of this. Poor Brayden hope she’s feeling better. Yay looking forward to the Halloween card! Congrats on 2lbs down that’s awesome!

CW 198.2Happy Monday! I was pretty unfocused this last week, and it shows! Deep breath. I did do better today after my weigh-in.
The big thing was taking my husband out for dinner last night, so some of it may be salt and water? Anyway, I did better today.
Now, phew, off to catch up on the chat!

Ugg… I'm officially sick!! I went the dr and I have a respiratory virus. They gave me some antibiotics, so I hope I'll be feeling a little bit better on Wednesday, which is my actual birthday.

@Katmary71 I’m thinking the Highlander or Grand Highlander. Has to be big enough to cart around the huskies. lol. Only thing with my CRV is that it leaks oil and some caliber gasket keeps going. And it’s usually a different one. It’s expensive each time because they have to take the engine out depending on which one. Other than that it’s great!
It is so nice to declutter. Still have a ways to go. There is always something to declutter.
@DrewsAnna hope you feel better soon!

@TeresaW2024 I'm glad church was good . Ah, okay! Refocus sounds quite detailed/comprehensive. I hope it is worth the effort! Thank you! I hope you had fun at the pumpkin patch, that sounds like a nice fall activity.
@txcritter69 Have fun in Florida !
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss . Oh, poor little Oliver. And then, Brayden being sick, too! You guys are really going through it. I am glad you got Brayden back into the doctor. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you guys. Thank you for the warning about opening the card with care! I don't know if you saw, but we finished Bring Her Back and we loved it...it is better than Talk to Me (which I really liked). Thanks for the recommendation! Have you seen Deathgasm?
@micaroo4 It does look like you are having fun , Rich, not so much lol.
@Katmary71 Thank you ! That was the first time I had bulgur but it won't be the last, I really liked it.
@bobboyardee Good idea to portion it out into a container .
Hi all. My back was really hurting at work yesterday to the point I decided to go home early. I came home and lay in the recliner with a heating pad, which felt good. My back is better today. I hope it doesn't start hurting again. I made some chicken meatballs for dinner and had it with some pasta and sauce. They were very good. I need to focus on my water more. Yesterday's water consumption was not stellar, but I was hurting so I'll forgive myself. I heard back from MFP support. They said they didn't know why it was happening. They said it may have to do with a recent SPAM infiltration. They don't know what to do about it, so I guess I'll just have two profiles now lol.
Water intake yesterday: 40 oz
