I opened up my diary just before leaving for golf yesterday & this
I really believe that we can make a difference in other people's lives by being kind & friendly & by paying genuine compliments. There is a ripple effect & I just felt it come straight back to me. Genuine compliments make the world a better place. Compliments are little gifts of love.
Learning to accept genuine compliments is possibly one of the hardest things I have had to learn in the last 10 years.
It's lazy Sunday.
I played golf very badly yesterday but had an enjoyable day. I think I slept about 10 hours. It's hard going out there at the moment & I hadn't played for a few weeks. It was fairly cold & very windy. The weather & my game can only get better
I'll pop back later while G is watching football. Our team is unlikely to make the finals, but that won't stop him being very excited & vocal. He loves his footy!
made me smile & feel really good about myself & the world in general.

Quoted for TRUTH.
Enjoyable days are much more important than hitting a little ball into a slightly larger hole with as few tries as possible.
PS: Go Team!

I am thanks, Em 
I am going to a Memorial service today at the aged care home my Mum was in. It's for all those from the home who have died in the last year. I'm glad I called in recently, so that hurdle was overcome. I'm in my red outfit again today
G & I had a lovely day yesterday. We went & got a load of wood & had a light lunch. Then we decided to tackle something that we have thought about for years. We managed to cut an old water tank in half, sideways, rolled in into our top yard & started filling it. We will have 2 very large veggie beds that will get lots of sunshine. It was hard work & I ached last night, but these will be really good! We won't be able to reach to the centre, so may put something in the middle of each bed, like a Buddha.

I have come to the conclusion that "fast days" set me up for failure!
I attempted one again today. G went out to 8-ball & I ate a ridiculous amount of sweet stuff. That is after starving myself all day. I blew it! Tomorrow I am going to have a really good, healthy breakfast before golf(omelette?) & not have any sweet stuff, except for fruit, salmon & veg tomorrow night. Thursday I will allow myself a little dessert if I feel like it. Friday is the 1st of September & the 1st day of our Southern Spring. I plan on knuckling down & losing 2-4 kilos in September!
I hated what I did tonight. I'm going to use My Fitness Pal again & also plan on moving more. I can do this. Tonight was a glitch. I feel gross! This must stop. I'm going to go get an apple now. Apples help me digest food. I have drunk about 6 cups of herbal tea. Maybe I'll have a mandarin instead. I feel so GLUGGY!!

I can practically hear Eye of Tiger being played in the background to this. I'm sure you'll do well!

Thanks, LaMa. It was also a reaction to some stress (golf club related). The pressure has started on us to go on committee.
I won't be, but I really hope G can resist too. He has trouble saying the word no. I'm fixing what caused my stress this morning as soon as I get out there.Thanks, DA101. I will do well as I have to. I feel so yucky this morning. My body is really telling me off
It's cold again but I'm off to golf with the women. My handicap has gone out another 1 after my woeful game on Saturday. It has been very heavy going & I am out of condition as well.
"Things can only can better" *insert musical notes*
Silly idea perhaps: if G is having trouble saying no but would actually want to maybe the two of you can practice the kind of conversations he might have at the club these upcoming days? You can play pushy people and he can try saying no in every tone of voice, changing topics and/or explaining to people why he finds it hurtful that they don´t respect his decision and keep pushing. Sounds silly but can really help.

Sorry to hear the fast resulted in a bit of a sweet binge.. I find that if I don't eat much during the day I get home from work and want a good ol' binge. Can't make myself eat breakfast though. Sounds like you had a day of hard work sorting that barrel thing out - well done you! Hope G resists the pressure!
