Cate's Diary

Go Campaign Cate!!:party:
 
I love the sound of campaign Cate . And all achievable . I think it’s good a new month is on our doorstep . Delighted you got your accommodation costs back
 
Thanks, Rob, Liza, LaMa, Amy, Petal & Em.
It was good to get the $'s back.
It's 3.45 am & I woke up having an asthma attack half an hour ago & couldn't get back to sleep & needed to get vertical so am sitting in my chair in the lounge room. I'm just starting to come right again. I don't feel like I have much energy for the April attack of Campaign Cate, but who knows what one more day will bring. I know I need to stay away from virus web sites & take a day off. I got really overwhelmed by it all yesterday.
I'll head back to bed soon I think.
It's now almost 5 & I really must head back to bed zzzz
I thought I had posted in my diary, but it was still sitting here!
 
I hope you ended up sleeping some more. April attack needn't have you storm the beach, sometimes digging in and fortifying is all you can do. Right now not losing ground is a pretty big win in itself.
 
I did end up sleeping some more, thanks LaMa. I got another couple of hours in & feel quite a bit better now. I like your analogy. I need to gain some ground in April, but won't be doing anything drastic. I fasted yesterday & did quite well with it, although I often don't sleep well afterwards. I didn't weigh this morning as I didn't want to ruin my day. (Stated for the truth)
Just had 1/4 of an avocado with 2 eggs on sourdough oat toast. Yum!
 
Sorry to hear about the asthma attack, Cate. Glad you were able to get back to sleep. I am cutting down on the COVID-19 news somewhat as I realize it's having an effect on me too. I watch for the essential news and information but the worldwide news stories, one after the other, especially, get me a little anxious. Of course they are the bigger stories.
 
@bensanon Thanks, Rob. My day has been much better with staying away from the C19 loop. My Asthma settled too, although I have been a little short of breath, but ok.
@liza I think focussing on the positives will be even more important in times to come & I'll have to concentrate on that.

Today I rang an old friend & had a lovely conversation.
I Facetimed our younger son & had a lovely chat.
I went for a big walk on our land.
I cleaned some cupboards & ironed.
I ate well.
We have had some very sad/frightening news. One of our very good friends' daughter was hit by a car on Monday & is fighting for her life. This is the woman who gave me my golf clubs. Nothing compares to how you feel about your children. I can't (don't really want to) imagine what she is going through. It is just too horrible. It puts everything else that's going on into the background.
 
I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's daughter's accident. I hope tomorrow brings news that things are looking better for her.
 
Cate I was sorry to read about the asthma attack and delighted to hear about your lovely day and I'm very sorry then to read about your friends daughter . Will keep her and her family in my thoughts . Life is very very fragile . Hugs to you :grouphug:
 
Thanks, Petal. Life is very fragile. We got such a shock when we heard. I sent her a message sending our love, but there's nothing I can do.
Thanks, LaMa. I hope so too. We may hear something today.
 
Well, it's 9.15 am on Wednesday, the 1st of April, 2020.
This month I am going to lose at least 1 kg.
I am going to-
do 20 squats every day,
do 5:2 every week (500 cals 2 days a week & about 1600 the other 5),
do 2 walks a day (min 5000 steps) &
ring a friend or family member every day.

Hey Cate, thanks to your motivation I have done 20 squats first thing in the morning the past 2 days. I think I will try to make it a habit.

Hope your asthma is under control. Not something you want right now.
 
Sounds like a great plan.
