Went up to Gosford for the weekend to stay with my aunt and grandmother. Boy, it was hot! Mike and I went fishing at Woy Woy on Saturday and the sweat was just pouring off me. Not very ladylike eh, but neither’s fishing, I guess. It was a glorious day tho, and we caught lots of fish - tailor, bream by the buckload, leatherjackets. They all went back coz they were a bit on the small side.

On Sunday we took a trip up to Budgewoi to the lakes. More fishing, with roughly the same result, cept Mike caught a nice little whiting and a bream that must’ve been bitten on the head when it was younger coz it had this weird bump. Will post pic later. I couldn’t help thinking of the three-eyed fish episode of the Simpsons, not least because of the power station that loomed in the background (coal, not nuclear).

Also went for a swim at a gorgeous beach in the national park that’s up that way. Got sand in my cossie. All very aussie.

I put on weight last night
Admittedly, only a couple of hundred grams, but I’m here to lose, not gain.
And before anybody tells me I shouldn’t be weighing myself daily, a recent study found that people who do so are more likely to maintain weight than people who don’t. Actually, that’s a bit of a simplification, but the idea’s the same…daily weighing is good, not bad.
But it’s disheartening. And I was only able to do 1/2 hour of pilates yesterday coz the instructor was so bad. Grrr. I am beginning to hate my gym.
Grumble grumble.
