I have messaged you & LaMa(not here) xoC
Wow, congratulations on your intermittent fasting diet getting back on track!!! Glad you are doing LaMa's challenge and are happy with your progress again. I keep trying to fast just between meals at first, and it is sooo hard. Great you take to it well!!
I bet you will make a stellar president! You are so diplomatic and good with words, I bet you will do a great job!
I don't have a smart phone, so just use my laptop. Are you guys getting spam or ads associated with the new upgrades to the site?

Good morning friends 
Marsia- thank you! I just read out what you said about me being so diplomatic & laughed & said, "I've got her fooled!" You're sweet. I needed that. I need to start believing that I can do this job.
The forum on my phone is full of ads. I think there is about one ad for every 5 posts & it's hard not clicking on them.
Re: any challenges. I am going to stick to my original lose 5kg by the end of the year. I don't want to get back into the headspace of trying to lose weight quickly. If it happens accidentally I won't complain. I have settled into doing 5:2 now & was glad to see a further drop. Just any drop is good. I'm not quite so obsessed with the scales now. I was going to do a fast yesterday, but we were going out to dinner last night& I thought that would be too difficult. As it turned out it would have been almost impossible. The food was awful- all fried, crumbed, battered.....ugh!
Petal- A pizza? Really? WOW! Mine is all weight-loss related stuff- the sort of stuff I steer well clear of mostly, like shakes, spot reducing() for over 40's....I know the forum needs ads to keep it going. It's a fine line. I didn't get any ads before the change of format, which is a little strange.
Today- I'm going to finish my paperwork & get ready for Tuesday's Vets meeting, with G's help. He came home yesterday from golf despondent & talking about going to another club. It really is not good for him staying at our local club. Unfortunately, the one he is most comfortable at & friends with the most members is too far away. It would be too risky as well as he is inclined to drink more in their company & he wouldn't have me to drive him home as they play their Vets comp the same day the women play at our local course. I will do some more homework re fees etc at some other courses. Ours is only 14 km away & then they are 40+ km away. If we could play at the same course on the same day, in separate comps, we could both switch & that would be OK. We would never go on any committees ever again. Ever!
I'm fasting today. I'll just have a small tub of Yoplait yoghurt with some strawberries for lunch & then we'll have venison & veg for dinner.

Music to my ears. If you are fooling people to look diplomatic, that is also a diplomatic skill, Pres. Cate!
That's great they have a golf time just for Vets, but too bad it is too far. Hope you find a really nice new club! If you switch clubs, will you resign as president of your current one?
I agree about losing weight for health and happiness instead of numbers on the scale!!

LaMa- thank you. It's really good not to be so obsessed. I get the belly fat ones too.
Marsia- I may have diplomatic skills that I can work on face to face. I do like honesty though but always think twice in here. I figure if I can't say anything nice, then I try not to say anything at all.
At this stage, I'm just doing some research into other clubs. G could go elsewhere & I could stay, in which case I would quit as vets secretary/treasurer & G would quit as co-captain. If we both leave then I would also quit as women's president. It felt good just typing that.
Realistically we would need to find a club where the vets & women play on the same day. I think there is one, with much higher fees about 40 km away. They are doing major upgrades & don't have their fee structure available on their site.
On Tuesday we are going to open up all positions with the vets & ask for others to nominate for our positions. Usually, we just go through the motions but say straight up that we will continue.
Feeling good today & am having no trouble doing my FD. It's almost dinnertime & I have only had 85 cals.

I get the belly fat ad too and dental implants and also make up tips for the over 50s . I read that one actually . But I was highly amused by the pizza ad seeing this is a weight loss site .
Good luck with sourcing a new golf club . You sound like you you have a busy week ahead Cate .
I like that you are not focusing on the scales too much . You are living a healthy lifestyle and the weight will drop . I was reading a blog from mfp the other day . Some lady lost a lot of weight over 3 years . She calculated it to be 100 g a week which I think is about 34lb .
Now I would love to lose 34lb ideally over a year but at the moment I'm a third of the way there if it takes another 2 years plodding along that would be ok

A unicorn-ified LaMa, sounds like fun!
I was thinking about the club that is 40km from you. Do people car pool to golf, or do the clubs take up so much room in the vehicle that it would be hard to do that? I guess you would need to make carpool friends first anyway though.
Sorry your game was so frustrating. I really hope you find a nice solution soon!
