Week 2: progress

Maybe you're right. I hadn't thought about it that way, but it does make
sense. His being ill was a financial strain too and we'll be recovering
from that for sometime I'm afraid.

Think post-traumatic stress. It's like an earthquake followed by the
aftershocks. Or the second and third and fourth waves of grief that
come on the anniversary of a death. Or the nightmares that war
veterans can have for years after coming home. The initial
trauma/stress you experienced (and overlooked because all effort was
focused on your husband's trauma and recovery) may still be working
its way through your system.

Don't discount this possibility at all. I think you're onto something
here.

WooHoo Julie! 2 pounds is a fantastic loss - congratulations to you! Hey, did
you see my daughter at Galyans? G She was the teeny little thing taking hours
to figure out if she should buy one particular item. The girl loves shopping, I
refuse to go with her. For some reason she felt the need to go to Shaumburg to
Galyans ... instead of the one in our backyard. Kids! LOL

Hi everyone,

This week finds me 2 pounds lighter.

Yesterday I went to a Tastefully Simple party. There were samples of each
of the products that were for sale. I'm not sure what the calorie count
was, but it didn't much matter to me because I wasn't hungry for the rest of
the day. Friday we went shopping at Trader Joe's. Today I spent the entire
day chasing down bowls that I could put in the broiler because I wanted to
make French Onion soup (Williams Sonoma for under $3 each!!) and I also came
up with an interesting Devilled Crab Salad recipe that is pretty decent in
points and quite filling and tasty. In short, it's been a food filled
weekend.

Today's warm weather inspired me to go to Galyan's (sporting good store). I
picked up some goggles and a kickboard for the pool. I haven't decided when
I'll start yet, but I'm making steps. I also parked far away in the lots
today because the weather was gorgeous (56 F according to my car).

Julie

Great loss and great progress all around, Lee

I so relate to this, I am proud of you, Lee

Thank you Linda. I am pleased with myself. I've been trying to give
myself
more credit as time progresses and I am doing just that. It's harder work
than I thought though. I am finding that as long as I'm perfect about
journaling, I'm not beating myself up for everything else that isn't
"perfect" according to unattainable ideals that come from unknown
sources-that's a major NSV.

This is a lot of progress in two weeks, in dropped pounds, fun with
food, and activity. You had both SVs and NSVs. I hope you're pleased
with yourself, because you should be. Excellent news Julie.

Our systems can only deal with so much at a time. If your body or mind was
at the limit then this makes sense, Lee

There were a few girls there that fit the bill, but I think she chooses it
because the boys that help you when you can't figure out what it is are
really pretty darn cute. They were just perfectly nice and adorable, the
kind of kid every mom wants to meet from what I could tell. (There were two
guys helping me and one had just changed out of a diving suit so his curly
hair was tossled just right.)

LOL! Could be why she chose to go there - she is definitely into boys. She was
shopping with one of her best friends, a male .. nice kid, just another one of the
girls (as we call him). G

I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, if I was younger I'd be going there for the
scenery.

They do have a climbing wall too.
