Hello my lovely,
I told Mark what you said and he laughed a lot. it's weird cos I have talked about you over the years so it's like he kinda knows you too and he said he knew you'd find it really funny. :rolleyes:
Good luck with the golf, I know you'll be great :)

Isn't it lovely. I really feel like I know you two well too. Good one Mark! :D
& you were right. I wasn't great at golf, but I was much better than I thought I would be. I'm really happy with my day. It was lovely. I enjoyed the company, loved being out there in the fresh air exercising.......
Love & hugs right back at you sweets
 
Hi Cate,

I am glad things are good with you. Sorry to hear about the co- captain. I hope he gets better. When things like that happen makes us all realize how important our health is. Good job on the weight loss! Funny how and extra 4 or 5 kg can make us feel. I know I have a magic number that I feel my best at too.
 
Ha, I knew you'd have a good day. :D
I find that if I'm dreading doing something or meeting up with people I get anxious about it and it's 9 times out of 10 fine or even really good.
Also, I've found recently that meeting up with friends after a really shitty day is great therapy. Before Christmas I'd had the crappiest day at work and was in an evil mood and said that I didn't want to meet up with other 'Explorer Scout Leaders' for pre arranged drinks after we'd taken the kids to see a Christmas show but Mark made me go and I had such a great night and laughed to the point of crying with painful cheeks. :D
I went off on a bit of a tangent there.....whoops :rolleyes: sorry
xoxo
 
Thanks, Cowboy. I just want to claw my way back to that magic number & then do my darndest to stay there. I just feel a bit bloated at the moment & I mush prefer that lean feel.
I was so tired last night that I kept dozing off in my chair. I woke at about 5am & just couldn't get back to sleep. My brain was working overtime! I had too much wine yesterday & think that was the problem, on top of playing 18 holes of golf. I had 2 at the club & when G suggested sharing a bottle of wine I said yes. That was a mistake. 2 glasses is enough any day. I drank loads of water as well as it was quite warm & very humid.
I was thinking of doing a fast day today, but woke up hungry. I'll have a day without any wine though.
I didn't charge my fitbit properly night before last so didn't have it on for my golf game. Hana is a squillion steps ahead of me & I will never beat her, but I know I need the incentive it gives me. Ha ha- it's 160 steps right now (at 9.01am) :D
 
Hi Kate. We were posting at the same time there & I got bumped off the internet. I know, I know, we just have to push ourselves. I almost always do enjoy myself when I do go anywhere. The women golfers are a strange mix, but I'm just not going to let the ones I don't much like bother me anymore. I think I tried too hard to fit in when I first started & now I feel as though I belong as much as anyone else. I don't put up with crap anymore. It felt so good to be playing again! xoxo
 
Cate, you´re awesome and the club is happy to have you. Anyone who isn´t is weird.

Got my fitbutt charged and strapped to my wrist again as well, so...
 
Mwahaha, my steps are always insane. I have no car! My poor feet are all I have! Glad it's an incentive though ;) Glad you're not putting up with any crap from the golf people - drama drama, so not needed!
 
I really can't wait until i reach the stage where i don't care or put up with people who i don't like. i'm getting better with age but can wait for the day when i am as good as you :beating: you rock and are my inspiration to be a stronger person. xoxo
 
Thanks, LaMa, Hana, LJ & Kate. Wow. You sure know how to make me feel good. I almost always leave my diary until last in the morning & I almost got bumped to the second page.
I know I'm always banging on about being kind to yourself & not putting up with crap, but it took me so long to get to where I am now. I don't wish that on anyone else. I was brought up being told not to have a high opinion of myself & was a classic middle child. So many hangups when I look back. I choose not to look back on it anymore.
Thank you very much for the compliments. Learning to accept them graciously & without embarrassment is still not easy. I love my WLF friends xoxo

That's part of my 2017 plan, feel compassion for myself and for others. So far I haven't had any challenges, which is good since I need to ease into it - like a new driver needs a parking lot. Who needs to get on the highway on day one?

Wouldn´t it be boring if we were done learning by the time we were 20?

It sure would! I don't think I'll ever stop learning.

That's a really good plan LJ- Win/win :)

IAmGoingToTri said something really good in his last diary post that I think we should all do well to note-
"I am starting to learn that a healthy body comes from a healthy mind, that if I learn to love myself more that I will also have the motivation to take good care of myself." How very true.

I had a fairly bad day yesterday, which I will not share all the details with you. G had a bad day & was feeling very frustrated & exhausted. I spent most of the day chasing sheep (literally) & had to postpone the shearer. He was cool with that. D & the kids visited & they tried to get the sheep in. Fail #2. It went from bad to worse as they also managed to scare 5 of our sheep through a fence into our neighbours property. I now have to work out how to get them back & then get all 11 into the top paddock. Enough of the whingeing. At least I got some decent steps in! It was also VERY hot. It's going to be hotter today. I'm going to keep laying a trail of sheep treats down & hopefully lure all the sheep into the top paddock. They have managed to escape before when being chased & then find their way back. They are a close-knit flock (mothers/sons mostly). Ours have all been neutered & luckily our neighbour doesn't have a ram.

I have to go do some shopping today. G thinks he'll come too. He is having continence problems & is getting very cranky about it. He hates it. Hopefully it will start to improve. It's much worse during the day.
Better skedaddle. PM me if you want to add me on Fitbit. I will be the one who makes you feel better about your steps :D
 
Update-
Better day today. G didn't come with me, but is feeling a bit better. The sheep are no closer to being corralled.
 
Sorry to hear G is struggling, but it´s pretty common in the months after surgery/catheter removal and normally gets better again with time. If it was better up until now and is getting worse I´d say he ask his physician. Hope the sheepies come back soon!
 
He's having a much better day LaMa. He was feeling really tired. I think it was because he did too much on Thursday.
I got the sheep into the top paddock! Yay!!!
Now I have to work out how to get the other 6 back from our neighbour.
 
Yay for the first sheepies! Silly question, but are your sheep marked? How do you know which ones are yours?
