oJoyce and elaine

Hi Lee. I'm sitting on the sidelines & reading a few posts
but things still in a turmoill here. I now have a fair bit
of caregiving for my hubby since his last stroke but he's
slowly improving. For exercises, I go to Curves now & have
just rejoined WW's. The stress has decreased somewhat & I am
now able to get back to the business of getting the weight
off. I have gained quite a bit with my stress eating, but
I've not let that get me down - it will come off again &
hopefully, it will be a long time before I have any more
stress to deal with. The only stress that I just can't
handle (without eating, that is) is family sickness & this
last year has been a bad one for me. I still don't have
enough time to read many posts, but I will pop in every once
in a while to check on how everyone's doing & report on my
progress. Thanks for asking - it's nice to know someone has
missed you. Elaine K

Hi Elaine. Good to hear from you. Good also to hear that
your husband's health is improving. You've had a lot dumped

when I was taking care of my mother last summer, I found
that walks after dinner helped clear out my head from the
day. I am looking forward to spring coming. It peaked its
head today but does not want to stick around. Too chilly and
much too windy to start my walks again. for now I have
Curves but I need to add more to the routine.

Hi Lee. I'm sitting on the sidelines & reading a few
posts but things still in a turmoill here. I now have a
fair bit of caregiving for my hubby since his last stroke
but he's slowly improving. For exercises, I go to Curves
now & have just rejoined WW's. The stress has decreased
somewhat & I am now able to get back to the business of
getting the weight off. I have gained quite a bit with my
stress eating, but I've not let that get me down - it
will come off again & hopefully, it will be a long time
before I have any more stress to deal with. The only
stress that I just can't handle (without eating, that is)
is family sickness & this last year has been a bad one
for me. I still don't have enough time to read many
posts, but I will pop in every once in a while to check
on how everyone's doing & report on my progress. Thanks
for asking - it's nice to know someone has missed you.

This was one of those days I would have gone for a nice
walk. But lady luck played another of her dirty tricks on
us. My hubby is once again in the hospital - no stroke this
time - his knees gave out on him & he can't walk at all -
not even one step. He's had bad knees for a long time, but I
guess something must have snapped & it's just too painful
for him now. They have already drained the fluid off - only
got a wee bit. Tomorrow he wills see a rheumatologist to see
what the next step
is. This has just not been my year. Elaine K

when I was taking care of my mother last summer, I found
that walks after dinner helped clear out my head from the

head today but does not want to stick around. Too chilly
and much too windy to start my walks again. for now I have
Curves but I need to add more to the routine.

out & enjoy it. Elaine K

Glad to see you are doing well. Curves and ww makes a

Thanks Julie. See my other posts for the latest on my hubby
and I am once again eating things I shouldn't as the stress
during the last 24 hrs has been horrible - but not like
when he has his strokes, so I should come out of it pretty
fast. Elaine K

JulieB said:

It's good to hear from you Elaine (and thanks to Lee for

without too much damage done.
