Cate's Diary

The chances of me finding your soulmate today LaMa were slimmish. I will keep my eyes open though. I do have a very nice, currently unattached son.......;)
Our team won tonight :D :D
They played the top team & WE BEAT THEM!!!
:party:
 
:D Pretty sure he´s younger than me by a bit, but he´s welcome to come visit. Any spawn of yours must be worth getting to know.

You are sweet :D He's 33
What a wonderful weekend. We have just got back to our hotel room for a rest. We went to the Queen Victoria market & I bought a grey merino pullover, a beautiful grey woollen coat, black leather gloves & a black felt hat, socks etc. We met up with our friends again & had a Sri Lankan lunch with Spanish red. We went back to the Spanish Tapas bar & had another bottle. I am going to do some very positive reviews when we get back home!
Having an absolutely lovely time. We must come over at least once a year!
 
It was. I have my new merino jacket on now. It has a zipped front & is very light & comfortable. I'm looking forward to getting home now!
 
That´s just how it should be: having fun while away but also looking forward to home :) How was the food situation?
 
Hello lovely Cate! Just popping in check how you are and to say I've missed you :)

Your weekend in Melbourne sounds amazing and sounds like you're doing great on the food front! Yay!! Winters are hard, aren't they!! If I could live in a tropical country all year round I'd defo be more inclined to eat less and better!!

And I agree with LaMa on the 'Cate's family's gotta be lovely' comment :D

All my love!! Xxx
 
~LaMa~ Food was good & we did not over-indulge once. Sat lunch- beef pho, dinner- sushi(2 nori rolls) 1/2 GF blueberry muffin, 3 glasses of wine. Sunday- BF-1 apple, 1/2 banana, lunch- Sri Lankan curries(goat & veg), 2 glasses wine, D- small asian noodle dish(didn't finish it); Mon am buffet- scrambled eggs, bacon, small baked beans, tomato plus a bowl of fresh fruit with plain yoghurt; mid afternoon 1 GF boring sandwich & 1 mandarin, "dinner"- GF fruit toast & 1/2 an orange, 1/2 an apple & some GF licorice.
Fasting today & have a thermos of vegetarian stock to take with me.
I have to go. Will catch up with everyone's diaries tonight.
~Thank you Delsid~ You're very sweet!
xoxo Cate
 
Great job on not over indulging! With the yummy foods you ate, that would be so hard for me - you have amazing willpower! Then again, one of my weaknesses is sushi (the americanized tempura everything) lol
 
Thanks Butterfly, tete, Julie & Miss Fit. I really dislike over-eating these days. I hate that over-full feeling. I could hardly move after yesterday morning's buffet breakfast, but it got me through to mid afternoon, when I had the boring airport GF sandwich. Over the weekend I also ate some beef jerky, that I always have with me in my handbag & some "naked" ginger & 2 squares of sugar-free dark chocolate. I took these with me from home.
Miss Fit- the tempura sushi I don't like. I love raw fish & I love avocado, but those sweet coated things I don't like at all. Rice really fills me up, so I can't eat much of it anyway.

I had a good day today & my fast day was easier than usual. I took a thermos with me with just a stock made from a Massel stock cube & had some beef jerky. I'm about to have a dinner of Konjac noodles, some savoury venison mince, a little vegetable curry & spinach. MFP tells me that is only 276 cals. I'll be able to have some yoghurt & strawberries later :) The stock cubes are VERY salty & are probably not a great thing to be having, but it sure made my FD easier.

G is going to 8-ball tonight & I am staying at home. Lovely. I have a book to finish that I started yesterday on the plane. :)
 
Even if those cubes are high sodium, the fact that you eat so little over all on fast days probably means you're not going over your limit. It's agood thing I'm having a lovely lunch or I'd be jealous of your fast day food!
 
Oh LaMa......I am SOOOO hungry! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. It's a good thing sometimes being so stubborn & pig-headed. I am going to have 4 strawberries now. I am REALLY looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast. It will involve eggs & gluten-free toast & mushrooms :drool5:

Hm, this is so weird, because here in Europe (as far as I know) overall cholesterol has to be less than 5, not less than 4.
By european standards - you have perfectly healthy levels. Especially HDL which is great!

My overall cholesterol is 6, HDL is 1.3, LDL 3.8, and tryglycerides 0.9.
I should lower that on 5, but with increased HDL.
 
I'm quite happy with them PC. My overall cholesterol used to be 6.9. I really concentrate on my health, but try to have a bit of a balance so I don't feel deprived.
On that note, it seems I must be retaining fluid from the weekend(up .5 kg after a fast day). All my food was quite salty. I'll soon fix that. I feel a bit bloated. It seems there area few of us about the same weight & height. I'm a tad under 5'8" & am currently 82 again. My lowest is 75. I feel good at 80, but would love to get back down to 75. That is a big struggle! I can live with 80, but NOT 82. 82 is uncomfortable. I can hardly believe that 9 years ago I was 111kg :eek: I didn't even really feel fat & horrible. Weird isn't it?
Anyhow I had better see if I can get around all the diaries quickly. It's almost time to head to golf. Cheers, Cate
 
It is odd how we can... not really notice where are bodies are going. Even though everything is so much harder at a higher weight. I think I´ll be able to deal with 75 kg. I used to have to get under 70 to feel human, and feel terrible at 72 :D We´ll see how it goes now. Have fun playing golf!
 
I had a fun day thanks LaMa, but my golf was very ordinary. I can live with that though. It was very wet underfoot but I played 18 holes & the company was good. We sat around for a couple of hours afterwards yakking & that was fun. Once B goes I quite enjoy myself. We talk about anything & everything. I had a bit of an upset stomach & only just made it to the toilet while I was playing but it has settled down. I may have had gluten unknowingly. I feel fine this morning.
It has taken me a long time to get around the diaries today. I like the fact that it is very active these days, but it is also very time consuming. This is a very good community & I'm glad to be a part of it.
