Cate's Diary

Thanks AmyLu, Jen & Sidney.
I am having a lovely day with the littlies. We have been to the market, visited Mum (their great nan) & been to the park, had lunch & now we are naming a toy wombat. I suggested Boof.
I was 81 this morning(FD tomorrow)
20 squats.
2 pieces of toast for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch.
It's a beautiful sunny day :D
 
Sounds lovely, but now I want a wombat tattoo. As in: I know what I weigh and I´m fine with it. Also I´m called Boof :p
 
I think Boof is a wonderful name for a wombat, but he became Crunchy McTavit Boof & the small guinea pig became Fuffy (yes not fLuffy, Fuffy). Kids! We had an interesting day but it did not end well with a teary little boy missing his Dad. He doesn't tell them what's going on as then his ex knows & gives him a hard time. As it is she found out via text with our GD that the kids were with me & she made snide remarks about us having them. Quote- "How would you like it if I wanted to play sport or do a hobby or something & sent you off to Nana B's?" She went on a fair bit more but E told her she was having fun & she stopped. She makes it sound like a punishment staying with us. Up until that text we had been having a lovely time. No wonder the littlies were a bit emotional last night. D felt really bad as I rang him when it was getting quite late & I couldn't settle them down. He had got a lift yesterday & couldn't leave earlier. He had planned on getting back here by dinner time.

Weight today- 81kg.
20 squats done.
Doing a 500 cal fast today.

Shame on your ex-daughter-in-law and too bad you had to call their daddy to come get them. I'm glad you enjoyed your day with them. How many are there? I can't wait to be a grammie but my children aren't ready to be parents. Quite a conundrum!
 
Hi AmyLu. I just had the littlies, who are 9 & 8 now. He couldn't come & get them & they stayed the night, but the call settled them down enough to get off to sleep. They were fine when they woke this morning & he arrived early to pick them up &also delayed starting work today to spend some time with them. My ex DIL is a problem, but at least she is an ex & not current. That would be way worse!

I'm having a hungry day today unfortunately but will get through it. Some "fast" days are harder than others.

One of my S's-I-L visited with one of her disabled clients & a work colleague & they brought sweets with them. L had thought of me & had bought a GF muffin. I will have it tomorrow. It was nice of her to be so considerate. G & I both worry about her as she is really big. She is not tall & I think would weigh 100-110kg. It's such a shame. I really do love her. One of her daughters rang me once asking for advice on how to get her Mum to lose weight. I'm afraid I had to tell her that her Mum has to really want to. I couldn't think of anything that alters that fact. I'm sure L would love to see her GK's grow up & have kids of their own, but it has to ber decision to do something about it.

Very much true! And very tough to accept when you love someone.
 
It is tough. You really, really have to want to do it. She & her sister love sweets & love eating in general.
Poor Polly. That was sweet of her husband posting in her diary to let us know. He is as thoughtful as Poll.
G & I are off to buy some prizes for next Sunday's golf comp. It's a mixed comp so we have to try to come up with prizes for men & women, but not couples necessarily. We have no idea what we're buying yet. We'll have a Chinese lunch probably.

9am, 7th March-
80kg, done 20 squats, logged into MFP, fasted yesterday.
 
I agree.. How I feel about hubby/son... They just don't care right now... Hubby on blood pressure pills and feels poorly all the time.
I just want to scream..... Do something about it then! Start small with portion control and then start with light fitness...Join me.... Be my buddy...Let's support one another..... :nopity:They just don't want to... Nothing more I can do than gently invite them here and there to join me and when I'm outdoors for activity, invite them again...

Have A Great Week of Squats Cate! ;):D You're doin' great! :hug2:
 
It must be very frustrating for you Stacy :(
My knees don't stop complaining about the squats. I don't find them easy at all. A month off golf and, after one game last Wednesday I am aching all over. Time for another massage I think. You really have to do regular exercise to strengthen your body. I'll persist with the squats for the month, but come April I'll come up with something else I think....bike?
Thanks for your encouragement Stacy xo

Squats are the Devil's exercise. They LOOK easy, but they are certainly a HARD exercise to do.

Massages on the other hand are blessings from an angel.
 
I just went to page 2!!!! PAGE 2!!
I'm in shock.....
I saw my diary lurking down the bottom of the page & was busily typing in other diaries & then lost it......page 2......wow!

I thought about fasting again today but my stomach screamed at me.
I had a toasted sandwich made from my sourdough oat bread. it had-
spinach, cheese, a little hot salami, 1/4 avocado & a mix of tomato paste, garlic, sambal oelek & basil. YUM! This is my usual toastie.
Weight 81kg
Squats done.

Everyone has to find their own way out of the hole I'm afraid. You can offer them a hand up but can't do anything for them if they refuse to take it.
 
Ooo that sounds like a tasty toastie! Except for the sour dough, that hurts my nose first, my tongue second and my guts last and most intensely :p
 
I know EmilyJ, but it is a bit sad.
Hi Jen- crazy isn't it. I wonder if that can be changed. I know to look for my diary, but newbies can easily be discouraged. Squats are HARD!
LaMa- I don't know where I'd be if I couldn't eat my sourdough oatbread. EEK!
Just heard on the news that fighting our bushfires has cost our state about $25m. I'm glad that is over.
Had a funny day today really- very busy, very tired. I had an anxious night last night & woke lots of times. Even though our golf club meeting was not particularly bad it still leaves me feeling anxious & uncomfortable. 7 more meetings to go. That;s assuming we attend every one. We are strong in our resolve to quit.
Spoke to R, our younger son, again today. He is struggling- really struggling. We are going down to see him next Monday for 2 nights.
Had a healthy eating day today.
 
"Some fat days are harder than others."

I LOVE that! Hahah! Very true. Have a safe trip to see your son. Hope everything works out.
 
The part where you had to tell your friend's daughter about your friend really wanting to lose weight for herself really struck a chord with me. It's so true. There are many people in my life that I want to try to help either with diet (not like I'm one to be offering advice right now), smoking, drinking, etc..., but honestly it is up to THEM. You can only help people so much. They need to want the help in order to accept it. I hope your friend will realize she should make changes before it's too late.
 
I'm glad the forum is fixed. It was SOO weird.
Abby- I think I said fast days, not fat days, but if I didn't then both are true :D
Mandy- The woman is my husband's sister. It is awful, but it is very true that you have to want to do something yourself. I hope my sisters-in-law decide to do something about their excess weight.
Played 18 holes of golf today & played better than last week, but still not very good. Oh well.
Weighed this morning & was up to 82 again. Oh well.

Just did 20 squats, even though I really feel like having a nap.
Not worrying about the scales- it was fluid.
Knackered but in a good way :D

Don't worry about the scales! Mine are not cooperating at the moment, but I know I'm doing all the right stuff, so they will catch up. You're also inspiring me with the squats. Keep it up! Maybe take a nap too. You deserve it! :)
