Cate's Diary

Good to hear you had so much fun and everything worked out perfectly! It must have been nice to see R every day :grouphug:
 
Hi, Marsia & LaMa xoxo
I don't feel like a party animal today, that's for sure! I'm still tired!
I'll come back later I think, when I get back home xo
 
Cate what lovely news to read . I really have visions of you dancing out on the dance floor all alone and really giving it everything you got . And what a great way to work off all the calories from the champagne and meal .
And no problems with fragrances which is great and making new friends .
You sound on top of the world .

I too love dancing but mostly it’s around the kitchen .
Sorry you are tired now but it will pass

Thanks, Petal. You're a sweetie xo
 
Another good night's sleep & I'm feeling much better. It's women's golf day & our AGM. I'm about to become President. LaMa- this will be nothing like being on the general committee & won't entail much at all. I was being pressured to be Secretary or Treasurer so decided on President. I will have to run a few meetings & greet visitors once or twice a year at most.
I haven't got on the scales since my last fast & won't again until after my next 2. I'm wearing a fitted golf top that was too tight a few months ago.
Early start today so had better scoot xo

That may be the single greatest feminist one-liner I´ve ever seen :rotflmao: I think I need it on a t-shirt.
Otherwise: you´re an intelligent woman and I´m sure you´ve thought about this a lot. I trust your judgment.

:party: :party: :party:
 
I always knew you were destined for great things Cate. Just stay away from the Russians. ;)

Haha, but being President is a great honour, that's fab.
 
LaMa- I just got the giggles! I hadn't thought of it that way. I won't put up with any BS & will be my own version of the women's president. If they don't like it they can shove it.
Em- I don't think I thought about it much, but it is bloody funny. They may just regret talking me into this :D
The meeting was ok. I hate meetings. I wasn't faintly nervous & have decided that I am going to do a good job of it.
17,500 steps today.
 
Congratulations Cate . That for me would be nerve racking having to make speeches at meetings etc . Well done
Will you have to host some dinners etc

Well done in fitting into the tshirt . Lovely feeling isn’t it .
 
Hi, Petal & thank you. I won't have to host any dinners but will have to run our meetings, which are usually few & far between. Once a year I will have to welcome visitors from other clubs for our opening day, but I shouldn't have to do much more than that. I decided to put on my big girl panties & be brave. It may be good for me & get me over my fear of speaking in front of others. The top I wore is very close fitting & I didn't feel at all self-conscious, so that was a plus. It is a lovely feeling & it feels good to be back on track.
I did lay awake for quite some time last night going over everything & wondering if I did OK. I am going to do some research on meeting procedures so that I do feel that I know what I am doing. It will help me to feel & be more competent. I like to be prepared. I'm glad I took it on, but realise how little I know about procedures as I have never been interested in becoming a committee person ever again. There is really no one there who has not done more than their fair share over the years & it was time for a few others to step up.

I'm doing a fast today as I haven't done any this week yet. It should work well after yesterday's golf. I didn't overeat yesterday either, so it would almost count as a controlled day.
Last Sunday (golf) my steps were 20,208, 13 floors, 13.77 km & 250 active minutes.
Yesterday(golf) my steps were 17,727 , 24 floors, 11.94 km & 231 active minutes.
My average heartbeat while playing golf is 106 bpm. It's hard work, this golf, especially the way I play :)

Home day, today, thank goodness. I have some things to do before G's Vets golf AGM next Tuesday, which I am not looking forward to. These meetings seem to be an excuse to whine & complain. G is going to run the meeting & I have to take the minutes, which I really dislike doing. I am Secretary/Treasurer of the Vets *sigh* We will never go back on the general committee of the club. Ever. We do enough.

I know the feeling. It takes away so much stress even if it just confirms what I was already thinking/planning. Enjoy your home day :)
 
Cate I think it’s so good you get involved really . I used to be a person who was on every committee that was in the vicinity when the kids were young , school committee , library , church , sports and treasurer of a few things . I’m now just secretary of one small committee which no real work is involved . I alway pick roles where I don’t really need to speak lol .
One of the reasons I gave all up was I got burnt out and became a bit depressed. But I feel like I could dip my toe back in a little now . We shall see .
Good luck with the fast day
 
Thanks, LaMa & Petal. I haven't done the homework on procedures yet, but will in the next couple of weeks. I chose President as I felt it was my turn to take on a role, but I didn't want to be Treasurer and/or Secretary as I already am both with the Vets. President is more a greeting guests, chairing meetings thing & I thought that might get me over my public speaking nerves. I'll try not to give it much thought.
Have only done one fast this week & am down another half a kilo. I decided last night not to fast again today as I felt so hungry yesterday but regretted my decision when G cooked me breakfast. I woke up not hungry at all & now I feel like a fat pig. We had avocado & eggs on toast.
It feels great that 5:2 is starting to work for me now. I'll have a very light day today (yoghurt & fruit for lunch maybe), salmon & veg tonight & fast during the day tomorrow.
We're catching up with paperwork today.
 
It was very filling, LaMa. I only had 1/4 of an avocado & 2 small pieces of toast, but eggs are very filling. They are now my go-to snack on FD's. I usually have one mid-afternoon.
I had a very light lunch & am now looking forward to salmon & veggies for dinner. The day after a 500 cal "fast" I am just not very hungry.
I discovered my new golf lunch on Wednesday. I don't eat cereal, but took a container with some natural yoghurt, stewed apple, layered & then a sprinkle of a light GF muesli over the top & it was delicious & filling enough. I ate a very firm banana halfway through our game. It was just perfect for the day & easy.
I have downloaded some meeting procedure info & am going to be well-prepared for the next meeting. I'm not sure that I should have chosen President as you are not meant to express your opinions. Whoops! :D
