Cate's Diary

I have definitely lost 2 kg this week, while G has been away.

Well done even exceeding your plan with losing 1 kg while G was away. :)
How are you doing with eating part when G is back? Can you manage to be as good as you were while being alone at home?
 
Hi LaMa, Em & CL. My gluteus are still sore, but my back isn't at all, so that must be a good thing, hey?
It was much easier eating less when G was away. I was much more able to focus. It's my own fault. I'll weigh myself tomorrow.
In a bit of a strange mood today. I'll talk about it tomorrow xo
 
Hope you're feeling better today Cate. I think as G is going to be there most days, you have to make a plan that allows for that but that will still help you to progress. Just maybe not as quickly.
 
I am feeling better today thanks. It's a bit hard to explain why I was feeling strange yesterday. It was a combination of anxiety & also being crabby at our older son on Saturday & our younger son was seriously hacked by what appears to be someone very good at it. The police are involved.
We caught up with an old friend yesterday, who is over from Victoria playing netball in the Masters games & then we went for lunch & a big walk along the beach.
We did some more gardening today & have our other bed ready to be planted out. I think we are about to be given some tomato seedlings.
We are about to go out to the golf club for the AGM. We are not going to say anything. I am SO dreading this! Fast forward to 10 pm this evening!
 
AGM over. It wasn't as bad as we expected but we're still not sure if we're staying at the club. We are only committed to the end of the year.

Yikes. Some days suck. Glad you got through the meeting in one piece and without new obligations.
 
Thanks, Brawny, LaMa & DA101.
I hardly slept last night. I was wide awake for hours and hours, with everything churning over & over. I won't go into it. It's mainly because of the captain who seems to have an intense dislike of me. Oh well. It's quite mutual. He is such a creep.
We don't have to go to another meeting again if we don't want to. We felt a moral obligation to go to this one, but that is over.
Life-
Should be enjoyable.
Should be relaxing.
Should be ..................

I am now going to make plans to switch my life around so that do more of what I enjoy & less of what I don't.
Sounds simple, doesn't it?
 
Do you ever listen to meditation podcasts? There's a great one called Tracks to Relax that I listen to and it really calms me down when my head gets too busy. Or else read a chapter or two of a book - the focus of the mind goes into the story, and since it's not part of the world you're inhabiting, it diverts the mind and you fall asleep a lot faster.
 
Thanks, Em. I can't cope with meditational music, but reading is my standby method to go off to another place. I read a book a day while G was away. I should have got out of bed & grabbed one of the many books I have out from the library. I didn't. I probably would have stayed up all night though, if I had started reading. I'm feeling much better now that I am home again. He is just SO not worth losing sleep over.
:flame: Down with creeps :flame:
Unfortunately, there are too many of them LaMa. Luckily, I don't know many. I loved seeing your post. Down with creeps indeed! He is a creep as you would imagine a real creep is. Going back years and years he was emailing G really sleazy porn. G does not go near the computer. He wouldn't know how to get it started. I used to say to him "Can't I ask him to stop sending this stuff?" to which G used to say "no, just delete it". When I asked why not & "are you embarrassed to admit that you don't like it" he admitted that was the case. One day, when he sent something particularly revolting I insisted G come over & actually watch it, which he did. Then I said "Now, can I ask him not to send any more?" to which he readily agreed, absolutely horrified. Neither of us is prudes, but this guy is an absolute sleaze-bag.

I was so tired today that I was too tired to even go for a walk. My feet hurt too. The weather has really warmed up. I wish I could wear cooler footwear. Sandals rub my feet & I get blisters......I hate whinging, so will stop right now. Tomorrow is day 1 of my new life. My current one is ok, but needs improvement!
 
Ah, a classic creep! That explains why he can't stand you, at least: you're an uppity woman who doesn't know her place yet has an adoring husband instead of 5 cats and valium. That must hurt his poor little brain.
 
Lets set up a virtual dart board with a picture of the captain on it!
There we go....use your imagination
I will take the first throw....
There! I got him in the chin!
Your turn!
 
Ouch! Much as I detest him I still can't do that. I will, however, imagine a knee to the nether regions. Hard!
I'm off to play golf today in the Foursomes Championships. Wish me luck!
 
:D It´s just a virtual dart board, and even that only has a picture of him. You´re obviously nicer than I am! Good luck at golf today :)
