Cate's Diary

"It's never quite that easy is it." That's for sure!

Lost that kilo again! I'll go back to only weighing twice a week, & try to cut that back to 1 if possible.
4.5kg to go!

Had a worrisome night. I woke up in the early hours & lay in bed, tossing & turning & worrying myself sick. Worrying about both sons! I'm going to talk to them both this week about it. I don't feel like getting myself churned up again telling you about it. I had been thinking about doing some foster care, just for 1 or 2 w/e's a month, but decided against it during the night. I know that I am unable to switch off & that it would most probably do my head in, so I'll make a call over the w/e & cancel my meeting before it gets a chance to go any further. I need to protect my precious sanity.

I'm playing golf today, a Pinehurst, with G & it's cold & very windy!

Off to check out diaries, xoxo Cate
 
Glad the scale dropped back down!
Sorry you had a troublesome night! Hope your sanity stays in place!
Hope you had a good day of golf.
 
Thanks Rebecca & Mystic. I had a really good day at golf & will sort out a few things this week. Sanity is a very finite thing & I will hang on to as much of it as I can :D xoC
 
Pulled up fairly well from my game of golf yesterday. Going out to the golf club for a working bee today & fast day tomorrow, Wk 2. Feeling confident about this. One thing I have noticed is that I am not snacking at all on non fast days. That's a good sign. No cravings either.
Spring is about to, well....spring on Tuesday! YAY!!! :D I LOVE Spring!!
Love to all, xoxo Cate
 
Hi Cate,

Thanks for popping by my thread to say hello and welcome another newbie on board. Admire your determination with fasting days and nice to see that it's going well. I think I have the same love/hate relationship with my scale on days it doesn't cooperate.

Hi K&D, You're welcome & thanks for the return visit. The determination with the fasting will be totally dependent on the results. It's only week 2 & today is my 1st fast of Wk2. I'm going to do Mon & Thur each week if I can, unless something comes up on either of those days & then I'll swap. I felt lighter today, but did not weigh as I want it to be after a fasting day, so I can feel that I'm rewarded for doing the fast. It may be illogical, but I don't care.

Worked hard yesterday at the golf club & got heaps done. Usually when we organise a working bee it's the same few who turn up, but yesterday 13 did & we got heaps done. I mostly did inside the clubhouse & transformed the office. It was an absolute mess. It still needs some tweaking, but I'll keep working on it. I took stuff to the tip, so that it was GONE.

We are having the day at home & will be cutting up wood for part of it. I started my day with a boiled egg & we're about to have our 2nd espresso for the day. The sun is shining, it's cool, but will be a lovely day.
Much love to all xoxo Cate.
 
That's great you got a lot done at the golf club. One of these days I need to take a day to just be at home haha. I've just been too busy!
 
Cate, I don't know much about golf, so the last few pages of your diary are Japanese to me. However, I cannot stop laughing at the term "Sparrow's fart"! Brilliant!
 
Hi Mystic. I would give you a hand packing up if you were close by. I do love a good de-clutter!
Ha ha Lara. A lot of golf terminology is foreign to me too!
I'm knackered today for some reason & aching like crazy!
My internet is playing up on my laptop, since I upgraded to Windows 10. I may not be on as much. Please excuse my tardiness( in advance)

My parents upgraded too, so far all is well but as soon as autumn rolls round with its paperwork it may get critical. Hope you can stay with us regularly though!
 
Hi LaMa & anyone else reading my diary. Only death will keep me away! It turns out my mobile broadband is not compatible with Win 10 & I can't seem to fix it so may have to just keep plugging in my mobile phone.
Anyhow- better scoot! Off to golf!
xoxo Cate
 
Speaking of computer problems, I just dropped my laptop and broke my charger. I've finagled it back together but not sure how long that will last!
 
Computers can be very pesky. Imagine life without them......
I have had a really good day. I played awful golf, but still had a good day.
The women were grateful for all the tidying up I have done, & I spurred them on to do more....
*sigh*
hours later...
I got home.
One of the grumpier, gruff ones asked me to play with her next week as she said it's been ages since she has played with me. I said yes.
Women can be funny creatures, but if I can decide that I won't let them worry me, then I seem to be able to cope better with them.
I am glad that I played today. Golf is such a big calorie burner, especially the way I play!
Love to all xoxo Cate

This is a fantastic quote. We have to take ownership of our feelings because that's what we CAN control. I'm reading about that right now and it's empowering.

:iagree: It's so boring to play golf only from the single intended fairway. Golf is much more social when you get to visit other groups on the adjacent fairways and spend time hiking through the brush looking for your ball.
 
Hi True, Oaks & K&D. My golf day was very social & I feel stronger mentally because I am not letting them get to me. A few of the older ones are inclined to bully but deciding that I won't let them bully me, or even get to me, has made me feel much stronger. The one who asked to play with me next week has probably been the worst. One of her friends came & joined our group of 3 yesterday & possibly said she enjoyed it. Who knows? Who cares? I know who I am & I am happy with who I am.

I can't believe how beautiful the weather is now that it's Spring. It was almost an overnight thing. Birds are appearing everywhere. The swallows have not arrived yet but so many other birds are about. It's great!

G keeps talking to me so will finish up as he is ruining my concentration! My stomach is rumbling so loudly it's crazy. I was going to wait until 12 to eat anything but I don't think that's possible :eek: what a racket!
Bye for now, Cate
 
My week 2, Fast day 2 has me absolutely ravenous, most probably because I played golf yesterday. I feel much slimmer (more than the weight I have lost) so hopefully tomorrow, the scales will be kind. I'm starting to think I want some new scales. These ones only measure in half kilos & I want some that can factor in body fat too. I'll check them out in a sec.
I had a salad & 1 boiled egg for lunch- 140 cals!
I am staaaarving!
