Thanks Jess. You are such a sweetie! xoxo I am going to do this

I have now had some fresh fruit & won't eat anything else & I am in calorie deficit by 208 cals!!
Cheers, xo Cate

Make it happen ! As said in a signature ( can't remember who ) it's maybe not gonna be easy, but it's surely gonna be worth it.

Cate is back on track!
It's great your back on track and weighing in again. It's so easy to slip and those kgs to creep back up without weigh ins.
When I reached the 63 last time I still weighed myself daily and I think that's what helped me maintain it until the pregnancy.
Keep it up!

Thanks Nostalgic & Benny. The only trouble with weighing every day is not letting an increase get you down. I did so well yesterday with exercise and being under my cals, but then had a bad night's sleep & this morning.....
Weight-
85.5kg
My weight goes up & down like a yo yo!
Had a fairly full-on day in town & am REALLY tired. I'll pop back later today. Benny I'm using your quote!

I know Jess. You are right! Weight goes up & down all the time. You made me smile sweetie when I read that. I have had another day in a calorie deficit so it should come off. I think I am still in shock that these few kilos went on SO fast. I'll get over it, but also must remember it. I'll be pleased when August is over & my self-imposed rule of weighing every day in August will also be over & then I will weigh once a week on the same day. I have not decided which day yet. Sunday night is dark chocolate treat night. Maybe a Friday would be good. I'll decide on the 1st of September.
Feeling better now I'm sitting in front of the fire in my PJ's & new snuggly dressing-gown & slippers. It is very cold at the moment. The golf course is water-logged so I don't think I'll go AGAIN. I will have to do some other exercise though, probably my bike, but maybe also a walk in the fresh air. (Very fresh air!)
I am a bit hungry tonight, but that won't kill me. I will not be eating anything I shouldn't & I will not go over my calories!
I'm determined. I am getting to 80kg!!
'night all xoxo Cate

Today's quote-
“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.”
~ Paulo Coelho, 'The Devil and Miss Prym'
Today's plan-
To keep doing what I have been doing for the past 6 days- eat very cleanly (basically no sweet 'treats' at all, no mindless snacking, count calories, ride my exercise bike, 1okm min & stay focussed & determined)
Feeling good! Cheers, xoxo Cate

Weight-
84-84.5kg. It kept giving me different readings so that will do. Getting there!
Today's quote-
Mother Teresa
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
~Mother Teresa.
Things to be proud of-
Have had 7 straight days of eating very cleanly & exercising every day.
I have lost 1.5kg (3.30693lbs) in 1 week.
I feel really determined to get slim again & STAY slim.
I did not eat something I shouldn't the day I weighed & the scales said 85.5. Yes, I know, to some, that may not sound like much of an achievement, but believe me, it is!
I have completed a food & exercise log every day for the last week & have had a net of <1430cals every day.
Not totally despairing & throwing in the towel.
Having 2 nights at home on my own & not eating one morsel I shouldn't.
Have not had more than one glass of alcohol on any day for the last week & some days none. SO many calories.
Having willpower again!!
Today-
We are going to go cut some wood for ourselves this time. It's quite cold, after a thick frost, but is a beautiful, sunny day. I'll take a photo later.
Cheers to all xoxo Cate

Thank you Sarah & Nostalgic xoxo Love your support & encouragement!!
Weight today-
84kg. I am so OVER weighing every day. I made the rule for myself to weigh every day in August as punishment for hiding from the scales for a month & putting on 3kg!! but it is going to be hard to keep weighing every single day for another 22 days. Oh well, serves me right!
The feeling when my weight drops ever so slowly in comparison to how quickly it went on, just doesn't compare to the feeling I had when I was 111kg & stuck to the Cohen's program 100% for 28 weeks & lost 36kg. It was euphoric really & this time I just feel annoyed with myself for putting this weight back on again.
I know I should not be so hard on myself but I am just telling the truth. I am actually REALLY annoyed with myself.
Today-
It is a cold & miserable day & I am going into town & will take my MIL to her weekly hair appointment & then take her back to the nursing home. I was going to take my mum for a drive but it is bucketing down so instead I will just go spend some time with her. Brrrr.
Exercise-
When I get home I will get into my home gear- daggy polar fleece pants etc & ride my bike. I may only do 5km today as yesterday's work tired me out. I'll see. Being back logging on My Fitness Pal is good for me. It is time consuming but really keeps me on track. If I want a glass of red wine at the end of the day I have to "earn" it!

Things to be proud of-
Yesterday....hmmm.....I have gone 9 whole days without even one sweet "treat" & have weighed myself every day.
[whoops- except for Sunday night-only 4 small squares dark choc]
Weight- Still 84kg
Mood- Good, but a little impatient. If I went back on my original diet plan I would lose it in a flash, but it's hard, really hard. I'll get there!
I'm not awake properly yet so will come back later (after exercise). Had a rest day yesterday.
Cheers, Cate
