Cate's Diary

G & I had a fairly lazy day yesterday but ate well. I went over my cals a little (87) but that's not the end of the world.
We won't do a real lot again today as it's going to be quite hot. Not much to report. I had a bad night's sleep again. My feet have been hurting lately.
 
Thanks Jen. Yes I have. Working in a pub, 7 days a week for 18 years, weighing a lot more than I do now, took it's toll. I have a bunion & a hammer toe on my right foot & now my left is going the same way. The heat has exacerbated the situation & the pain kept me awake last night. I'll soak my feet tonight in 'lectric soda & massage them with magnesium oil & moisturiser.
 
Do you have exercises for your feet? We all neglect out poor feet way too much. Hope they get better soon though.
 
No LaMa. I haven't really. My feet are very sore still. I think I should see a specialist as I probably need a operation.
 
Sorry to hear about your feet.

Just curious if there is a gym option available. Might provide air conditioning to beat the heat and low impact equipment easy on your feet. (No rhyme intended).

If I missed something earlier or if I’m being too bold, please disregard. You’ve clearly done an amazing job!!!
 
That sucks about the feet. It's possible that they might be able to give you some kind of physical therapy rather than surgery. No way to tell without a consultation though.
 
Brent- def. not being bold. It's a structural thing & I am way too addicted to golf now to change to the gym I'm afraid :)
Jen- thanks. They are stinging this morning, but I'm about to head to golf & hopefully they'll feel better.
Cory- I'll book in soon & see.

Good news- It was meant to get to 35 degrees C today, but there is a beautiful big fat black cloud hanging around(never thought I would say that) & hopefully it will stay around for the day so that we can play golf. It's a sponsor day & one we didn't want to miss. I had better get going!

I'm with LaMa on this one. A physio might give you different foot exercises to do - I think things like moving a ball around on the floor, standing on tiptoes, things like that. Or just YouTube for a faster alternative.

So happy to see your enthusiasm for the golf restored. You're bringing some badly needed sunshine to the board! :)
 
can you send that big black cloud up my way when your done with it ? :D

hope you had a good day despite your feet !

I'll get a referral to a physio first & see if anything can be done to help. Sunshine, hey? Thanks Em :)

I thought I had sent it your way Tru as it disappeared before we started playing. It must have gone elsewhere :(
I had an excellent day thanks. Feet struggled towards the end of the game, but it was SO hot.

It is an excellent game. You should get out there & play. Life is better with golf.

Yesterday was so, so hot. IT was about 35 degrees C, very, very humid & was a fair old slog, but we did it (& came 5th). There was only one other woman playing. G said he had never played on a hotter day. It was a pairs event & we shared his clubs, so I didn't have to use my buggy. I drank 3 whole water bottles. I also drank lots before & after & am having no problems today or overnight with cramp. I also took some extra magnesium before & after. I ate a banana & some dates & half a muesli bar while I was playing. I think that helped.

Friends are going to a vineyard today to hear their son play, but I don't think we will go. It's about 80 km each way & going to be 35 deg again.
 
I love golf!!! Teaching my boys so we can spend quality time together. Season shorter up here.

Sounds like a very good day Cate.

Way to beat the humidity. Heat is one thing, humidity is tough!!!

We went. It was fun! We sat in the shade. If we had stayed at home I think we would have done little & moaned about the heat!
 
Indeed it was fun LaMa. We're both a bit tired today, but did the rubbish run out to the golf club & then the tip. It is actually raining now, which feels lovely. I hope it continues! It has been so hot & so humid!!
