Cate's Diary

I used to eat peanuts all the time...and mixed nuts...and then one day...after finishing off a can of mixed nuts...my face started swelling and I started itching all over and my doctor said...no more nuts!!
I got used to it...I know I'm not allergic to peanuts...I ate a few snickers at Halloween...but he said if you were allergic to one nut...you could develop allergies to any nut...so...I don't do nuts.
 
We have a walnut tree, but unfortunately, the parrots love them as much as we do. We get some each year, but they get the majority.
Nothing much to report today. I had a sugar craving for hours and hours yesterday. I had some fresh fruit after dinner & still, I had it. At about 9 pm I went & ate ONE chocolate. Fixed.
 
If one chocolate does the trick for you and doesn´t result in overeating the next day you may not need to wonder but do you have an idea where that craving came from?
 
Way to satisfy that craving with a single serving. I keep some dark chocolate in the fridge for cravings like that. Chocolatey enough for the craving but bitter enough that I have yet to sit down and finish off an entire block.
 
Thanks, Cory & FG.
No loss the last week, so am making some changes this week. I had a really lazy weekend & feel sluggish. I shared a bottle of wine with G yesterday (a Sparkling Burgundy) & that wouldn't have helped. My calories went just over 1350 for the day. I feel like I have been experimenting & I am pleased to say that the wine I have had has not satisfied me in any way & has been a disappointment. This week I will not have any wine at all, not even a taste.
I may attempt another fast day(500 cals) tomorrow. May. It depends if I wake up hungry or not.

Good for you! Nothing wrong with a piece of chocolate. But that is exactly why I am focused on zero sugar. I'll eat one and then...later...another...and then ...hey, who ate all the chocolate!? So...I decided, done with sugar...except in my coffee...but it never worked...I always lapsed back into a rationalization like...oh, just a sliver of that apple pie please. And of course if you attack the pie while it is still in the pan...doesn't count as a sliver right? Just as a ...bite. I finally decided the sugar in the coffee was setting myself up.
 
Well done on satisying the craving Cate. I'm with Jack, one becomes two becomes three becomes... whole box lol. None is the only way for me so huge praise for being able to take a taste and then stop :)

Interesting how much difference a single bottle of wine can make, isn't it?

It is indeed. So easy to stay within your cals w/out it!
Thanks Dan. I do swear those chocolates are talking to me though, but I am resisting their siren song. I'll be pleased when they're gone :(
Thanks, Stan. I do wish they would vanish!
Golf tomorrow:D I have a yummy looking lunch packed already. One side of a systema container with 4 cherry tomatoes, 4 snow peas, some celery, cucumber & 2 Dolmades & the other side with natural unsweetened yoghurt, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries. Yum! I'll also eat a banana while I'm playing after 9 holes as I won't get into the clubhouse for lunch until 1.30'ish.
18 holes of golf, walking all the way is great exercise. Most people in Australia don't get around in carts unless they need to.
 
Dan- :beerchug:
Cory- No fast day today as I played 18 holes of golf. I played a decent game today (a net 70) & had 208 active minutes. It was HOT! I am desperately trying to ignore the strong urge to eat chocolate. Shut up chocolates! I may just go & get a little fruit platter soon. G is out playing 8-ball. Shut up chocolates!!!!!
 
Get thee behind me Satan! ...or something like that...lol
Way to go! It is a beautiful day in North Texas...lots of sun shine...gotta go let the chickens out and bring them fresh water....quite sure their water bucket is completely frozen solid. Hard Freeze last night! I also better go jump off my truck before my wife leaves...I left my lights on! The little alarm dilly doesn't work....
 
So, while we're sweltering in Aus(not as hot though in Tas- 350C) the water is freezing over there. I'll take Summer thanks. Almost midway...boo hoo.
I'm off to town today. G is playing golf in a tournament & I'm shopping. I would rather play golf.
I resisted the chocolate last night but ate too much. I only stayed under my allowed calories as I ate quite a lot of my exercise calories. That's a bit of a waste. Another lesson learned.
 
I could have but I played yesterday Cory. I have shopped until I have almost dropped! 3 pairs of shoes & 4 tops!!!! Me, who hates shopping. I am currently sitting in my car, with the door open, in the shade, trying to get the oomph up to go into the clubhouse!
