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.

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).
Great loss and great progress all around, Lee skiur <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

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.)
