177 on the scale this morning. OMG, please let this loss stay around!!!
I made a nice veggie casserole yesterday with just the stuff I had around the house - zucchini, mushrooms & spinach - baked in an egg & cream sauce. It turned out really well and I like having something I can just re-heat. I have so gotten out of the habit of cooking.
As I am starting to come out of it - either because I am now taking thyroid hormones or just because it has run its course - I realize that I have been fairly depressed for the last ten months since I got laid off. I didn't *feel* depressed and it was most likely situational rather than brain chemistry-related. But I haven't been cooking or doing much beyond maintenance. Now, partly, that is the feeling of "I can't go out I don't have an income". And partly it is my tennis elbow makes it harder to drive or walk. But that doesn't mean I couldn't go sit in a park or go out geocaching or something. I'm practically agoraphobic at this point.
Or, as my friend Caroline says to say, "I *was* like that but I'm not going forward." Henceforth I shall sally forth into the world and engage. And hopefully a job will come along really soon that could use my mad skillz.
