I had been feeling shitty, so I guess the sinus infection didn't really come on that fast, but apparently it was worse enough by Friday for those symptoms to appear. I probably would have put two and two together if I wasn't so deathly afraid of losing my vision. In addition to the vision problems I had while I was on lithium, I spent over a month damn near blind in both eyes while I was on Depakote. So, I panicked and got tunnel vision.

I'm still trying to do stage 1 of the South Beach diet, and my husband says he is, but he's really not. For example: after eating the soup I made for dinner last night, he polished off 1/2 sleeve of Ritz crackers with spray cheese... not really consistent with the rules of the diet. I don't mind preparing SB dinners for the two of us, but I think he'd have more success with a more conventional diet, if at all, and making the meals I send off to work with him would be much easier.
He's lost 2lbs since we started the diet, and has never been down any more than 3lbs. I've kept 7lbs off, which is a lot for 2 weeks, but I probably would have lost more had I not been cheating. I will probably finish out at least the full third week on stage 1.
