Cate's Diary

Sorry to hear about T, it sounds like he was a great man.
Congrats on going without alcohol! You sure deserved a glass of wine.
 
So great that the funeral was so lovely and positive. I like to think that death doesn't always have to be a bad thing but hopefully a nice transition to new states. I recently had an older friend die. He was such a shining light to everyone around him while alive. He was ready to die, seeing it as a freeing experience, so when it came time, it was kind of like having him go off on a wonderful new adventure. I hope that when my time comes I will feel similar!
 
Thanks, LaMa, Milana & Liza.
It was lovely to have such a positive service. I didn't deserve to have a wine, but I did decide to have one. I'm back to no alcohol today. The wine put me over my allotted calories by almost exactly the number of calories in the wine(300). I am being totally honest with myself with logging. I used to abandon it when I knew I would be over & there's no lesson to be learned there. Well, yes there is I guess. No point lying to myself.
Yesterday was 1828 cals, with a 55 deficit.
I'm down 2 kg for the 12 days.
I'm doing Dry July. R just rang & so is he. He'll be up here at the weekend playing in a pool comp, so we'll see him Sat night.
 
Sorry about your friend, but the funeral sounds nice, and he let you have one last glass of wine before July!

Being down 2 kg is great!
 
Thank you, LaMa, Rob, Milana & Liza :grouphug:
I had a terrible night's sleep last night. My brain seems to be working overtime during the night lately. I hate that. I sometimes wake in a bit of a panic after a bad dream. I have had some weird dreams of my late mother & sister. I think July & August are trigger months for me. My sister was born in July & died in August & my Mum died in August. Of course, they are also Winter months here. Hopefully, I'll sleep better tonight. I'll not nap during the evening which should help as D & the kids are here for the night :)
Yesterday was 1494 cals with a 273 deficit. I use My Fitness Pal (free). Sodium was over, as was sugar.
G felt like ice cream after lunch & I had a small serve as well. I'll cut that out from now on.
BF this morning was just oat sourdough toast with PB, reduced-salt Vegemite & blackberry jam(not all together) 379 cals.
Lunch will be venison patties with coleslaw.
Dinner will be Peppered venison & lots of veggies.
It's a gloomy-looking day today, but I'll get a couple of walks in with Archie, do some food prepping for the night & some more housework & read some more of "Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell.
 
Sorry about the rough night Cate. I think it may be night there now as I write this. If so, I hope you're getting a better sleep tonight with peaceful dreams and that you wake refreshed. :grouphug:
 
Thank you, Liza. It was 12.54 am here when you posted & I was deep in the land of nod. I have woken refreshed & feeling good.
I had a good day yesterday. Both of our sons are doing dry July as well, mostly for their health. I took Arch for 2 good walks yesterday. My knee aches quite a bit these days & I really am not keen to test it out with golf. I was hoping to play with our social group in 2 weeks time as it's at my local course, but I don't think I will be. It has been raining a lot as well so would be a bit of a slog.
We were going to the market this morning to stock up on fresh fish & veggies, but it's bucketing down.
After lunch, we are going into town, (leaving Arch at home alone inside) to watch R play pool in the State titles. He hasn't played much in the last couple of years, so I hope he can enjoy it & not be disappointed if he doesn't play up to his high standards.
G is staying in to watch until the end of the days' play & I am driving home. A young friend is then driving G & R back to here tonight. Tomorrow we will drive him back in & watch for a while. I'll take Arch with me tomorrow. I'll ask today if I can have him inside on my lap for a short while tomorrow.
Yesterday's cals were 1489 with a 271 deficit.
 
Hi Cate! That rain thing is happening here too in the opposite hemisphere. Started Wednesday afternoon and its supposed to go right through Sunday. Its cool to see you have peeps doing the dry July thing. For obvious reasons, I support people putting down the drink, lol. Have a nice weekend! (I don't get online much over the weekend.)
 
Too bad that your knee is still not allowing any golf, but that seems like a very good idea not to push it.
Have a great weekend--sounds like it should be fun.
 
Thanks, TDT, LaMa, Em & Liza. I have been away from home for most of the weekend & I have to duck out again in 10 mins. I’ll pop back in the morning with a proper update xo
 
Unfortunately I forgot to plug in my laptop:(
Saturday- 1298 cals, 557 deficit. I actually forgot to have lunch!
Yesterday was 1482 cals, 776 deficit( lots of walking).
Weight- same.
I think I’ll come back later when my laptop is charged.
 
Hope your sleep is better Cate.
