Cate's Diary

Ha ha LaMa. I agree! "no treble" I so love dancing & I am so not any sort of music aficionado or snob! If music makes you dance, it must be good, right? ..... Not so sure about the no wine Feb! I don't ever drink to excess. I never get drunk. I make myself sound like an alcoholic. I rang my sister today for the first time since we visited our son. I am always really honest with her, & her with me & she asked me why on earth I have to set myself such challenges, when she feels that I don't need them. She rarely drinks. "How many do you normally have? 2?" she asked. "Yes" I answered. "Does it help you relax at the end of the day?". "Yes" I said. "Do you enjoy your 2 glasses?" "Yes". "Then why would you think even think about it?" .........

Had a really good day today. Went to the Farmers Market & bought lots of delicious looking fresh veg & organic blueberries. Visited Mum & had a nice time with the olds, polished off another book, ate very healthily, but didn't do any exercise! It is Feb tomorrow & I promise myself I will be better.
 
* just adding that I hopped on my stationary bike & will now have a deficit for the day! That makes me feel much better too!
 
I agree with all of the above! If you are satisfied with your alcohol consumption: leave it be. If you think it´s doing you (or the scale) harm: modify it. One glass would be a middle road of course... And any kind of music that makes me want to dance is good music to me. That´s the great thing about not being "cool": I don´t have to wonder what my tastes and interests will do for my image ;)

Good work hopping on that bike and making the day count!
 
I will LaMa. I really do want to lose some weight soon & I know that the wine makes it hard for me to keep under my calories each day. Exercising will be the key I think & I will aim at having at least 2 days a week where I don't drink any alcohol & that will help.
It's all about that bass, 'bout that bass......
 
I'm lucky in that regard. I don't drink any alcohol, and never have pop or other calorie drinks in my house (well I had 2-3 months where I did and that's where this last weight gain came from! Never again!). That way at least all my cals come from food!
 
Hi Mystic. We are all different & I am lucky in that I don't have a sweet tooth or like junk food. My wine is someone else's chocolate or brownies etc xo Cate

Had a good day yesterday. G played 8-ball in the singles championships & I had lunch at the deli, went & visited Mum (cut & filed her nails, took her for a walk outside, chatted to the other resi's) & then watched the 8-ball.
Last night D came up for dinner after work & we had a lovely evening.

I am feeling much better & much more positive. I can't change anything with R's life at the moment. We think it's a matter of time before he realises that he can't get his cafe up & running, so we need to stay strong & be there if he needs us. Meanwhile he is doing 2 jobs to cover his mortgage & the rent on the place. D spoke to him on Saturday & apparently he sounds OK.

We are spending the day at home today doing some paperwork for the golf club & then late this afternoon we are going out to the club to run a Feb comp. They guy who normally does it can't this year & he told the president who just assumed G would do, but forgot to ask him until a couple of weeks ago. They assume a lot. I bet they also assume that I will do the secretary's job too as he has quit. I will not be doing it & neither will G. I will do the bar tonight, I do the bar every Tuesday, I will probably do the bar for the Lady's Open day & will do the bar for the 2 full days of the Men's Vet's tournament & I am the bar manager. I'm on the general committee. That will do me. We have a meeting tomorrow night & I will be strong.

I have my exercise gear on & somewhere during the day I plan on exercising.

Applaus from the wings! You only have one life, you can´t live it for other people and trying to do so anyway leads people to become unhappy and - very often - overweight.
 
Thanks Mystic. I have been feeling much better. I had some anxiety last night, but that was because we had a golf club meeting & I am off to play with the women today. It's almost time to leave. I feel a bit nervous. They have been asking after me apparently & wondering why I wasn't playing. I had better go. I don't like feeling rushed. Bye for now xo Cate
 
I had a really good day at golf today. A woman I had met at a function & talked to about playing, called in the other day while I was there & she joined up today & I played a game with her. I had a great day. It was heaps of fun.
 
& yay for you LaMa! I missed your comment from a few days ago re "applause from the wings" :blush5: You & I would have fun on the golf course! I feel really good today & so glad I got out there & played. The woman who made up the 3rd was the one that got under my skin a few weeks ago. I asked her to join us. She is very friendly to me now. Forgiving is good for you.

We are "off to town" today to do some shopping for the golf club. G has a big 2 day tournament coming up soon, that he organises & we have a lot coming up, so we thought we had better get onto it. We'll make a day of it & have a healthy lunch somewhere.

I hopped on the scales this morning & have dropped a kg, which is a good start. I'm usually more after a game of golf!:D

You and me both then, yay for us! So nice that you managed to turn Mrs 3 around, that might lessen the anxiety for next time. What did you find for lunch?
 
LaMa- Yay us! :D We had sushi for lunch. It was delicious. There's a tiny little sushi place in Launceston, run by a Japanese guy & it is cheap & good. $12.20 for the 2 of us. :D
Mystic-Had a few good days in a row & feeling good!
Q- Good idea! Golf sure helped & losing a kilo has too.
V-I loved my day at golf & it's the best I have played for a while. Well, I have hardly been playing, but I had a net 69, which I was happy with. Now to get my handicap down a bit more! I'm playing in our Opening Day next Wednesday in a Canadian Foursome with a lovely English woman called Sheila (sounds like a joke, but isn't) She's a lot of fun!

Today- Having a lazy morning, (because we can) & going out to the golf club this afternoon for a bit of a working bee with other members. We have tournaments coming up & a visit of 32 from Queensland & G & I are organising their day & we have to rustle up 32 buggies. Today I'm starting on tidying up the buggy rooms. BIG job.
The weather here is beautiful at the moment. 30oC & not a breath of wind- perfect! :D
Love to all xoxo Cate
 
Went to the market yesterday & bought lots of yummy fresh fruit & veg, visited Mum & did some paperwork at home. Visited D & the GK's late afternoon. It was quite hot & today I feel really sleepy. I'm not the only one apparently. I just glanced across at G & he's asleep-at 9.15am :eek: I think I could go to sleep too! Today may just be a lazy day I think, with maybe a little gardening in there somewhere...zzzzz xo Cate
