  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    It's so nice to know that cars predict weather better than weathermen!

  14. I'm sure I can do it. When I started WW a year ago I lost 35 lbs and it seemed so easy. I just can't
    figure out why all the difficulty since Christmas. All the stress from DH being sick last summer
    must have caught up to me or something!

    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).

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

  17. Stress has a way of doing that. I know stress of a few years caught up to me and I was burned out
    completely. I'm becoming less of a stress puppy, but it's a hard thing to get over.

  18. Do you think so? I would have thought that I'd have been under more stress when he was in ICU on
    life support. I really didn't expect that it would hit me 8 months later.

  19. I know that stress can do some terrible things to a person, but I never thought I'd be affected by
    it. I suppose we all think we're invincible at times, when we're really not.

  20. 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.
