Dived right into the book

My poor husband woke me up Saturday at 5:50 AM because he was having a panic/anxiety attack.  Although he didn’t know what was going on.  I remained calm and did what I could to help him come down from it.  I remember him saying I need to go to the hospital I think I’m dying.  I knew he wasn’t dying.  I knew what was going on.    Ive been around this for many many years.  My dad used to have them daily.  Now that hes been able to control them hes down to a couple a year.    I even did research and talked to Dad at 7 that morning to help Dave understand what was going on.   I felt horrible for him.  Now that he looks back over the years he see that this is not the first time hes had one.   Its just that back then he didn’t know what it was.  He just thought he was crazy.   I need to make him a doctor’s appointment.  Anxiety Attacks happen for no reason or are caused by stress.   This weekend was horrible for Dave since the attack.  It took a toll on his body and mind.  After we got back from our running around Saturday he didn’t move from the couch.   He didn’t do much yesterday either.  He’s having a hard time sleeping.    So I need to make an appointment for him and get him something for his anxiety.  My poor husband.  I did my best at taking care of him and he even thanked me, although that’s my job.   Im always going to take care of him the best I can and know how.  

Omg so Saturday Dave and I ventured out for a little while.   I thought it would be good for him to get some fresh air for a couple hours.   Our last stop was the used book store, although they didnt have the book I wanted so I took Dave home and headed to Borders.  No wonder I couldnt find it it was in the Young Adults section.  Jay Asher’s 13 Reasons Why.  OMG I started reading it Saturday night and have less than 100 pages left.  I CANNOT put it down.  I definatley recommend this book. 
 
When Clay Jenson plays the casette tapes he received in a mysterious package, he’s surprised to hear the voice of dead classmate Hannah Baker. He’s one of 13 people who receive Hannah’s story, which details the circumstances that led to her suicide. Clay spends the rest of the day and long into the night listening to Hannah’s voice and going to the locations she wants him to visit. The text alternates, sometimes quickly, between Hannah’s voice (italicized) and Clay’s thoughts as he listens to her words, which illuminate betrayals and secrets that demonstrate the consequences of even small actions. Hannah, herself, is not free from guilt, her own inaction having played a part in an accidental auto death and a rape. The message about how we treat one another, although sometimes heavy, makes for compelling reading.

Even though this is aimed for young adults, it really is something that everyone should read.  Because even adults don’t know how to treat one another and dont care how their actions effect other people.  Its a page turner.  You want to know who’s next and why they are on the tape.    I cant wait to finish the book to see how it ends.  

Anywho  I weighed in at 131.6 on Saturday.  2.6 lbs until Im back in the 120’s!! Im so excited!! Since Feb. 27th I have lost 11.5 inches!! Dave has lost 7.25 inches!!

Yesterday while dave was at calling hours I went to the gym.  Its waay to weird for me to go to someones calling hours I dont know.   I did 35 min on the elliptical and I finished at 4.02 miles!!!! Record breaker for me!! WoOt!   Then I did the circut thing for strength training.  Ive decided I need to incorporate that into my workout now.  I cant just do cardio.  I want to be lean and toned.  Although my calves are paying for it today.  Ouch!

Dave’s new semester at school starts today.  So another day at the gym alone.    He will go with me on Wed though.   Thursday.. i dont know… I forgot when SU plays.

I went over board with pretzels last night.  It couldve been worse.  But I did workout so a few extra calories was ok.  Im just so addicted to those things!!! They are from Aldi’s and I discovered them from Papa.  They are buttered flavored and taste like popcorn almost.  Yummo.  110 caloris for 22 of them.  Not bad at all.  I have some with lunch today.

oooh Dave and I discovered these 100 calorie parfait things.  Chocolate Raspberry ones.. OMG taste like rasperry tootsie pop.  I wish they came in more than a 4 pack!

Made some stuffed pepper soup last night.  So I got lunch for a few days this week :-).

Well I should get back to work.
