Cate's Diary

Ah, no. I didn't mind missing it at all! He's currently crashed on our couch & we are trying to let him sleep. I so wish he had crashed on our bed instead! We had a Barbie, but it was way too hot outside & our room has air-con. G is probably asleep too by now. I can hear the others laughing in the hallway. It's not even 5pm. This could be a crazy night.

Hi KP & LaMa. My last day or 2 has left me feeling quite exhausted. R has headed back to Melb this afternoon & I can relax again. He is quite manic again. We fitted in a quick drive to my old home town this morning & visited one winery, which was fun. I am way too tired to tackle diaries today & will be on the road tomorrow back to Melbourne & then on the overnight ferry back to Tasmania tomorrow night. Phew! A lot has happened while we're away- a lot of it annoying, but I am going to have to tune out to most of it when I get back. When there's nothing you can do then there's no point getting upset about it. The golf club had their AGM & voted for a few pesky changes. That's a democracy.

I think I may have a nap before the dinner or I may fall asleep during the speeches!
Life will be back to "normal" for me on Sunday when I get back home. I'll be fasting Sunday, weighing in Monday.
Love to all, xoxo Cate
 
Happy Trails Mrs. Cate! Sorry for the annoying developments, but your attitude is spot on. I hope you had a lovely nap.
 
Thanks LaMa & Q. I'm on the drive home now. I'm feeling quite rested. I'll hop on the computer later today. Looking forward to getting back home!

Thanks BB. I changed my mind about fasting today as I ate little yesterday & was ravenous at 7.30am this morning so I weighed in when I got home. It's the first time I have been to the 8-ball Nationals & NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT! :D Very happy about that! :D

Fast day tomorrow & Thursday again. I feel so relieved that I managed the trip away well. I am VERY tired though. Early night tonight & a day at home tomorrow :) I'm home :D :D :D
xoxo Cate
 
Glad to have you back here (even though you weren´t really gone), incredible work not gaining weight on your trip!
 
Thanks LaMa & Butterfly. I was more "away" than I usually am LaMa :blush5: So glad to be home, but aware we have to make some changes. We are too tangled up with our commitment to the Golf club & will have to learn to disengage a little. I am planning an exit strategy. G has trouble switching off. It would be lovely to be able to just go play golf without stress.

I am having a fast day today & have decided to weigh myself again tomorrow. I have 2 identical "meals" plated up ready for my day. They comprise of shredded raw spinach, 1/2 a packet of Konjac noodles, some chicken curry sauce, a little cooked chicken breast & some baked veg. Konjac noodles are wonderful for "fast" days! So nice & so filling! I have mixed it all through & the noodles absorb the flavours well. Each meal is about 125 calories :D

We are going to have a fairly lazy day today. It's almost 11am & we are both sitting in our chairs, drinking espresso (black no sugar) & G is reading a book, while I while away some time here. Feeling quite relaxed. We both had a great night's sleep. I slept for about an hour & a half in my chair apparently & then another 8 hours in bed. :)

So glad to be home! xoxo Cate
 
Hi Stacy & LaMa. I'm 2.5kgs over my GW at the moment(lost half a kilo on my fast day yesterday), but quite confident I will be getting back down to my GW again by Christmas. 5:2 really works for me.
I have had a really bad day today & am trying very hard to chill out. Wine is helping. Going away reminds you of how life can & should be. Coming back & expecting things to be different is maybe unrealistic. Seriously though, today was a shit day. I won't share it with you all. There is no point making anyone else miserable & I'll get over it, because I make myself get over it. I am going to have to deal with some people or they will drive me bananas. I could not even try to explain what happened today. A day that would have been really easy :confused: turned into a nightmare by someone who is on the path to a heart attack if she keeps it up. :smash:
*sigh*
*OM*
More wine!
Tomorrow is another day. I'm playing golf. If anyone gives me any shit they are going to cop it.
Love to all of you xoxo Cate.
 
Thanks LaMa & Stacy. Today is indeed another day. We both felt pretty much the same yesterday, mainly because of the same woman who seems to be on the road to a heart attack! She is a nice woman who was crazy yesterday- totally stressed out & totally hyper & her stress piled onto us. What is normallya day that we would find easy peasy was made ridiculously hard by all her stress, which I think was the opposite to what she had planned. Long story, not worth repeating. As they say...."she meant well". Her husband thinks she has gone bonkers.
Various other things just compounded the day. It was one thing after another.

Today- I am playing golf today in the women's tournament & G is doing the bar. I am playing with someone from another club & one of our old biddies. I am wearing my new shorts. My legs are so white :blush5: but the day is not meant to be more than 20oC so should get some colour, without skin damage. I'll start wearing sunscreen soon.

Bye for now, xoxo Cate
 
Have fun playing golf Cate, I am thinking of you...sometimes we just have to tune off people that are not a good influence in our lives and move past uncomfortable situations. I had an uncle, unfortunately he is no longer amongst us, and he used to say: "Don't waste your time with bad things. Always use your potential to do things that are good and enrich your soul...and pray that God will put love in the heart of those that don't comprehend you!" ;-)

XOXO

PS: I am very curious to learn more about your fasting methods...I have heard of the benefits of fasting before, but couldn't understand through your reports if you have some items that are allowed and just fast on certain items. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind sharing with me your thoughts/experience doing it?
