Cate's Diary

1st March-
5:2- Fasting today (have a very low-cal veggie soup made)
20 squats- done.
Weight- I just don't seem to be able to leave it typed. (I know there are people who will think I weigh too much from what I weigh)
I have 2.5kg that I aim to lose in March. That gets me down to the next deka. (Decade is not appropriate. I had to look this up. Thank you google.) If it's not a word in it's own right, it is now, for me anyway.
Busy day ahead(Vet's golf & lots of GC shopping + some of ours, doing the bar, seeing Mum).
Had a busy night last night with yet another golf comp. Plus G & I did all the re-cycling including our own & an elderly neighbour's. I am encouraging her to clean out her cupboards apparently. Got home at 9.30pm. There is a lot on at the moment, but the end is in sight. There's another big comp on Thursday but I have not been asked to work. :D Instead they have asked the woman who does the bar on Saturdays & the club will pay her for 5 hours work. Good. I am so looking forward to doing less work at the GC.
I will add to my March plan-
Weigh every day.
Log into My Fitness Pal every day.
Lose at least 2.5kg.
:D
 
Thanks Cory. I haven't played for over a month, but hopefully, will tomorrow.
Thanks LaMa. I know- yay for someone else doing some work. She is pretty slack & doesn't stock the fridges etc. but the club is lucky to have her. It would be hard getting someone else to work that can be trusted & that would work so few hours.
Today-
Have only eaten some raw celery, snow peas, cucumber & carrot & a bowl of veggie soup so far.
Dinner tonight will be more soup.
I have already forgotten to log into MFP, but will go do that now!
 
If you want work done perfectly, you have to do it yourself. And if you want a bit of peace and quiet, you sometimes have to accept things not reaching your normal standards. Great job on your fast day!
 
Don't share your weight if you don't want, but you know we are supportive around here.

Great plan for March!
 
Thanks LaMa, Q & Stacy. I am off to a good start & am glad I made the commitment for March.
Emily for 10 years I was an employment officer, took 5 years off to have our sons & since then my husband & I owned & ran a country pub for a long time. I mostly did bar work, with lots of waitressing.
OK Q.... I'll bite the bullet. When I lost 36kg back in 2007 I got down to what I thought was 69kg & was very slim. My scales were wrong. I was 75kg. I know that this weight is perfect for me. Anything less than that I become gaunt looking & ribby. Since then I have gone up & down, up & down- never up much, but also not back to 75. About a month ago I got up to 87 :eek: Yesterday I was 82 & today I am 80.5kg, after a 500 cal "fast". I have always weighed at least a stone(anything up to 10kg really) more than anyone thinks I am. I have never told people what I weigh, even when I was slim as a teenager.

Day 1- I wish I could do a tick!
Day 2- Breakfast- 2 eggs on sourdough toast with 1 small zucchini.(386 cals)
20 squats.
Off to golf soon....
Love to all, xoxo Cate
 
I love that you have a March plan - all the best! :)

p.s. I feel you on the scale, it fluctuates with what kind of surface you put it on as well- so frustrating!
 
Thanks Misty.
March plan day 2- tick!
18 holes of woeful golf. Having a month off showed. It was very hot, I was very dehydrated & exhausted. I think I may still be suffering from the aftermath of the bug. I'm OK now after lots of herbal tea. I drank heaps of water during the day, but it was not enough!
So far, so good with my March plan. I know it's only day 2, but still.....
I cannot believe Donald Trump seems to have the Repuplican nomination in the US. Is this some weird sort of joke on the world? Really? It's nuts!
 
True LaMa.
Thanks LJ.

Day 3 March plan-
80kg.
20 squats
Breakfast- GF Special K's, almond milk, 1 slice oat sourdough with nut paste (def. not orange), black coffee.
Very happy with my start to the month.

Today would have been my younger brother's birthday. I am not feeling sad & want no-one else to. He committed suicide in 1980. It was such a waste of what could have been a good life. Our lives are so valuable & are meant to be enjoyed. Nothing is that bad. Nothing.
Love to all, xoxo Cate
 
Thank you LaMa xoxo

Day 3- tick.
Weight today 81kg.
Squats done.
MFP logged in
I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I expected my weight to be even more as we had a bbq last night (lamb chops & baked veg) with wine & a fairly lazy day. The GK's & D are here for dinner again tonight (but not staying) & I have the littlies all day tomorrow(I'll take them to the monthly market & a park) & they are staying tomorrow night, so I have decided to "fast" on Sunday. (I don't want to be responsible for them having issues with food & diet if I can help it.)
I am feeling good about my March plan. Going into Winter being within cooee of the weight I really want to be (75kg) will be excellent.

I rang my friend S yesterday. She has just got back from England & will be here for 10 weeks. She has had a very aggressive breast cancer & has undergone 2 ops & extensive radiation & chemo & has had a tough time of it. We had a lovely conversation.I love this woman. She is just about the most positive person I have ever met. She thanked me for all of my messages & said that I helped boost her morale when she was really struggling. To me she is an inspiration. I met her through golf.

We are about to head to do some shopping & go out to the GC to stock up the fridges. They had a huge day yesterday & there will be lots to do. We'll pop in & see Mum on the way.
 
I really need to be doing the bodyweight squats too. I think it would help my joints and muscles out. I'm glad S got to benifit from your sweet and supportive nature. If I could be around you in person I could probably fly by now. ;)

Have fun with the littlies!
 
Glad to see things are on a roll for you Cate and that you were able to chat with your friend! Good for the soul! I hope you're having a great day today!
