Cate's Diary

Also: since alcohol is a poison its breakdown takes precedence over everything else for your liver. That means no fat will get burned as long as any alcohol is left in your system. But you can do it!
 
Have a busy day today including the AGM of the vets' golf group. I am not looking forward to it. These things make me feel quite anxious. I have to read stuff out to them & I hate speaking in front of a group, even people I know & like. I'll get through it, but fast forward to late afternoon!
 
The more something scares you, the more you should expose yourself to it. You can do this Cate. Just go in with an attitude of kicking ass and you will be amazing. It's all in the mindset. Rooting for you. xx
 
Thanks, LaMa, Emily & Brawny. I got through the day OK & got lots of thanks. G & I will continue on with our positions for another year. I hope I'll grow into this position. Next time I'll prepare a bit more & maybe get G to do a Captain's report. I'm glad that is over.
Went under my cals yesterday. Shared a bottle of Henkell Trocken Sect with G when I got home.
Playing golf with the women today.
 
I don't like speaking in front of groups either. Good job! Glad you got through it and enjoyed the rest of your day!
 
Thanks Emily, Jen & LaMa. We both got lots of thanks, which does help. It has been a rough year out there.
I had to come home today as I felt unwell. With all the anxiety yesterday morning I forgot to take my meds & it was too late to take them when we got home, so I thought I would just take them this morning.....but I forgot again.
I had only played 4 holes & felt my feet, ankles & knees swelling up. I messaged G to ask him if my pills were still on the kitchen bench & they were! I searched my bag, but I didn't have a BP med there. I played 2 more holes, but felt worse, so abandoned the game & came home. I took my pills straight away & felt better fairly soon afterwards. I have had my feet up all afternoon & have read a book.
I'm going to have to change my system clearly. At night when I take my pm meds & supplements I'll put my am meds in a very prominent place where I simply can't miss them. Doh!
 
I drank a pot of tea during the afternoon & wasn't going to have any wine at all until G said he felt like one. Had one glass. He's gone out to 8-ball & I'm staying home. I may be asleep very soon zzzz
 
I will put them out on the breakfast bench LaMa & see how that goes, but an alarm is a good idea. I might set one on my Fitbit. I just did it. Set a silent alarm for 8.55 am every morning. Good thinking LaMa!
It's raining today so G & I will have a quiet indoor day, which won't go astray. I'm a bit tired & so is he I think.
I have worked something out about myself. I don't take well to restrictions, even when they are self-imposed. I am going to cut down my eating & my wine drinking & move more, but I am better off just saying that without being too specific.

Sounds familiar :rolleyes: We each have to find a way that works for us, specifically.
 
We do! It is not easy :argue: That's me arguing with myself :)
Exciting news- while we were in Sri Lanka our ewes were visited by a very handsome, horned ram & 5 months later we have 3 sets of healthy looking twins. One sheep is still missing, so we may end up with 1 or 2 more lambs. We'll have another look tomorrow. It stopped raining for long enough for us to go for a hike, but we couldn't see her. Some of our sheep are neutered males.
I'm still suffering a bit from 2 mornings of missed meds, but am coming right hopefully.
