Crebbs long distance

Crebbs from Aussie land to Texas a setback is a setback. The bright side is it wont be your last mistake. wow if thats the bright side I don't even want to ponder the negative side lol. If you need a swim but don't really feel like it opt for the ocean and those sharks you have out that way will encourage you to swim a wee bit faster lol..........

G'day

Ahh yes! I recall you too had a wine fueled mishap. Power walking wasn’t it? You’re a woman after my own heart. :cool:

Maybe it’s a colony thing? I dare say we got it from our cousins in the Isles.
Thanks for the pep talk. I have now officially stopped wallowing

That’s the bright side? Way to talk it up! Promise me you won’t get a job on a crisis help line. They’ll call it black Tuesday.
:D I’m only kidding. Point taken.

Swimming in the ocean up here in Darwin is only something you do if you’re slightly suicidal. Half the year we have stingers, or man of war jelly fish to you. All year round there’s salt water crocodiles, they’re the big ones.
You can risk going for a dip off a boat. Crocs hunt around the edges, so you probably won’t run into one in the middle of the bay. There are however these tiny little jelly fish that you can’t feel sting you, but can give you a heart attack up to 24hrs later, so you have to wear a stinger suit.
The bright side is, we don’t have white pointers this far North.
It kills me because I live on the water, and I mean on. The bay is 20 feet away and I can’t swim in it.
So, I’ve taken up fishing. You’re safe as long as you stay on the cliff.
 
HAHAHA! I had to laugh when I read your post. Been there...

I got your post in my diary too... thx. I'm still not sure how I'm going to deal with my weekly Friday night unwind with beer/wine. Maybe I'll take up exercising during the week to compensate for the calories I plan to have in beer. Or reduce my current calorie load by 100 per day. hmmmmm...

Anyhow, hang in there... you've got a great start!

I do a lot of fishing here but alas not as much as I would like. The sharks here aren't too bad other than the hammerhead and bull sharks. I remember diving, god we must have been 80 miles out into the blue(ish) water and through the mask you can't see much and I turned around and a hammer head gave me a small nudge. Well to him it was probably a small nudge for me it was pretty solid lol. The jelly fish around here are just the normal with tentacles about 2-3 feet or so and I don't think they are deadly unless you end up in a school of them. I really should go fishing more than I do. Being on a diet it would be a good choice for free(ish) food.....
 
I'm afraid my million calorie day is just around the bend :D

That was funny.

oh, and remind me not to go heads-up with ya in drinkin' match. My personal best is only 23,873 glasses of wine. If you're seriously coming coming state side, I may have to go back into training. :)

Best of luck to ya on your downtime and like everyone else mentioned, I eat often too, just the right things. It really makes all the difference (your mileage may vary).
 
Heya Crebbs

Keep those calories above 1200 otherwise your body will go into starvation mode and you wont loose anything :)

Keep up the awesome work! One slip up wont make you fat - its doing it daily that does that for us :D
 
Well, I’m at 938 cal for the day, and I’m as full as a goog. It’s 10 pm, so I can still squeeze in another snack and get it up past 1100.

Susan, Like we were saying in your diary, we’ll help one another avoid the Friday drinkfest

Hillbilly, not only free (ish) food, but surprisingly good exercise, (and an excuse to be left in peace for hours:cool: )

Thanks Mem

Trucker, all you need is a bit of training and you’ll have your drink fitness back up.;)

Thanks Wishes, I am trying. Getting a bit better every day.

I think most people forget this...and give up too easily when they have one bad day. I think we should make t-shirts with this quote on it...
 
Good idea Queeny. I’ll get some quotes done.
Sizing is going to be a drama. Do we get them for now, or the future?
Well, we’ll just need two each, nothing else for it.

Ending the night on 1062 cal, but I truly think it’s a bit more like 1200. I couldn’t find my subway sandwich on FitDay, so I guessed.

Good night all. It’s 11:40 here, and past this little chickens bed time.
 
Hey Crebbs,

I have to say, I could NOT imagine not being able to go in the water! I don't live as close as you do, but we're at the beach twice a week (generally) and I would be SO bummed not to be able to go in!

Of course, with all your critters, I wouldn't but I'd hate it ;)

Hope you have a great day!
 
Despite my miscreant eating over the weekend, I’ve dropped 1 kg (2.2 lb). I’ve been flirting with 82 for a couple of weeks now. I keep getting to 82.5 (181 lb) and then shooting back up to 83.5 (184). Today I hit 82. Yeah. A small victory, but a significant one for me.:D :D :D

M2M – It KILLS me. Not as much as getting in the water would, but it still tears my being. I’m from the southern, cooler parts of Australia, so I’m used to frolicking in the surf in the summer. Now I’m in the tropics, and its swimming weather all year round, and I can’t go in.
Cruel and unusual mother nature!:mad:

Oh that is a cruel twist of irony - I don't know how you do it! (Well, considering what is IN the water, I suppose I can understand!
 
Sorry I haven’t caught up on everyone’s diaries, but I’ve been flat out here, and I’ve got to shoot off again.
Hubby reminded me this morning that we’re flying to Melbourne tonight to attend a wedding on Saturday. Honestly! If it weren’t for him, I’d forget my own birthday.
Well, I’ve got to fly. I have to go and buy a frock! Be back on Mon.

Cal for yesterday,1232. See, I’m getting the hang of eating more. :D
 
It's going to go up and down. Start writing things down such as everything you eat or drink as well as condiments. Do a BMR and see what your maintenance calories are and see what is going on. It's easy to give up Its harder so see whats going on and fix it....
