Cate's Diary

Crossing fingers for the scales tomorrow!
I know the feeling of being so hungry the next day (or even day of!) after a big cal burn! I can't imagine not eating! You're stronger than I am!
Great job not letting the women get to you!
 
Half kilos? Where´s the sense of accomplishment in that? I mean: if and when it does register a difference you feel really good but most of the time we lose less than that between two weigh-ins. On the other hand people may fret less when they know the scale just doesn´t see the small losses. To each their own I guess, I´m very happy with my solar-powered, fatpercentage and watermeasuring piece of modern technology (even if I don´t know how accurate those numbers really are, they give me a sense of control).

Thanks Mystic. I am so hungry I can't even find a word to describe my hunger. G has prepared a meal for us tonight that will be only 240 cals for me & smells heavenly. It is an Italian style dish- Venison rissoles with a tomato/vegetable sauce. Because he had to weigh everything out so that I could check the calories I decided to save the recipe. He is going to freeze a couple of portions for my "fast" days. I have 500 cals on those days.

LaMa- I agree. I want fancy scales that show any loss. Having to wait for a whole half a kilo is too much! What brand are yours? Look at your galloping pumpkin! Wowsers! (Thanks for repping me, btw)

PS Did I say how hungry I am?
 
It´s a Soehnle (sounds very German). Have you tried making tea out of warming spices? Like chai but without the milk. You can do this!
 
It's nice to have good feedback from the scales and it definitely helps if they are as accurate as possible and the increments are small so the feedback is more encouraging! :)

LaMa- Soehlne is a good brand. They are one of the recommended ones. If the weight started dropping off I wouldn't care much about getting new scales, but fasting & then nothing is frustrating. I drink a variety of herbal teas, but I think I'll try some new ones.

Rebecca- I do really want some new scales, so I get quicker rewards. I'll check them out next time I'm in town.

Weight- No change but have stabilised at the new lower weight, so am grateful for that. If I can stick with this 5:2 thing I feel fairly sure that I will get to my goal & then re-assess whether I might get back down to my lowest weight. I'll see. I think the "fasting" days will get easier as I learn strategies to overcome the hunger. It was much wors after my golf day. Next week I'll eat more after golf.

It is a beautiful Spring day again today. Hardly a cloud in the sky & 15oC predicted. Nice.
Love to all, Cate
 
my scales are the weight watchers brand scales, they were reasonably priced at Big W and register to .1 of a kg but I prefer to weigh in on the old fashioned non digital scales at the gym because they are calibrated.

I have found that the lower carb the diet the easier it is to do IF without hunger or cravings :)
 
I really like seeing the small movements of my scale. Mine shows 0.2lb differences I believe so any loss I see! New scale is a must for you I think!
 
Hi Tru, Mystic & LaMa, these scales must be replaced...they may just have to "break" first....

I don't think there is room for jealousy...... Spring/Autumn, 1.5kg/4kg......say no more *sigh*

I am actually feeling much more focussed & positive than I have felt for a fair while. I think IF will work for me, but I will have to tweak it & make it work. I don't understand enough about nutrition & exercise & maybe never will. I know that I will have to eat more protein on golf days to sustain me the following fast day. That was so hard!

I had better go. G is "nagging" me to go do some dishes with him, but it's fair enough as he's been cooking for ages! :D

Lots of love, xoxo Cate
 
:) Love that picture! I would suggest inviting a couple of people to try and see how many people can keep their balance on that scale all at the same time, doesn´t that make it sound more like an experiment and less like mindless violence? If it doesn´t actively break it will surely be too warped to be trusted afterwards :p Unless Nokia ever made scales.
 
I'll find a way because I'm female & we are devious :D The scales have to go & they will go...... I do feel much slimmer, which is excellent & my pants are loose. YAY!!
Today was such a beautiful day!
SPRING!!!! I so love Spring!!! :D :D
 
Good luck with plotting the demise of the scale. Hope the investigators don't find these entries where all us accomplices have been helping :willy_nilly:

Maybe if you bring it to your next round of golf you can get a bunch of people to run over it with their carts?
 
Hi Butterfly & a great big welcome to the forum! :) It's always nice to have someone new!

Hi K&D. That's funny on both counts. The new scales may have to wait a while as I have been spending (& will be spending) too much at the moment. I would really like to get them, but I'll see. I'm about to pay for a 2 week holiday & am waiting to see how much it is.

The GK's are about to arrive so I'll be quick this morning.
Had a good day yesterday at the market etc. Ate to TDEE. Weighed myself this morning, which was a mistake. Am forgetting what I saw.
Love to all xoxo Cate
 
If I had to stay home & look after small children full-time I would be ga ga!!! I am almost that right now!!
