[Jim]

well if he doesn't, then it's his problem abz, isn't it love.

i suppose so jim, if you want to look at it that way. it's the principle of it that winds me up though. why not nick machines from the site they are on? they have a far larger IT department and budget than we do, but for some reason the machines are coming from our office and being transported to theirs. it sucks!!

already i can't really do my jobs for the day. i'm continuing from what other people have done... and it isn't going to plan. so i'll have to wait for the others to get in to ask them a question or two. second major gripe. total and utter lack of documentation on what people have done so far on a job... can you tell it's going to be one of those days? ha.

[Jim]

Your manager needs to get a grip as far as I can see abz.

 

[abz]

it's not our manager jim, it's a higher up one. i'm hoping our manager will just say no now i've shown him how few machines we have...

where is everybody? good morning if there is anyone out there

tonight we go to stay with a friend before departing for liverpool tomorrow morning for another friends wedding. the friends we're meeting tonight got married on the same day that we did so hopefully we'll be able to bore each other half to death with our wedding photos, hee. well. we'll find it interesting...

i tell you, i can't wait to get back into the healthy eating mindset. much as i'm not pigging out all the time, i'm not being overly careful either. i wish i'd been able to get straight back into things as soon as we got back but didn't want to cause difficulty at this wedding. and it's a whole day thing so i can't even pretend to eat, ha. so no worries. monday morning i will be atkinsing. yum yum yum yum and i just know the carb hangover is going to be insanely large after a weekend away... argh. i will do my best to keep it as low as possible, especially with the drinks to try and slow it down.

the worst thing is going to be caffeine withdrawal. i didn't know you had to come off caffeine for atkins. that's going to be a nightmare!!

 

[peppa]

Good luck with atkins and have a lovely weekend x

 

[Jim]

Morning abz, you were in early. You have a good weekend and don't worry about your eating, you've made the resolve to start on Monday and that's good.

 

[abz]

well all i want to do right now is snoooooze. i'm so tired. and i've just seen a new advert on the news about spreading germs, probably for swine flu with a chap in a lift and it's GROSS. put me right off my digestive biscuit (ahem...)

am hunting for a new graphics card for my pc, but my knowledge of graphics cards is hugely lacking. any ideas jim?

Morning Abz - hope you have a fun weekend. Sounds liek atkins style is goign to suit you down to the ground. Look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

Love

 

[Gemstone]

Just catching up Abz - good to have you back and good luck with Atkins x

 

[abz]

good morning everybody!!

well today is my first atkins day. i think i've made my first mistake by putting too much lettuce in my salad. it made up 100g of my 230g salad intake which seems such a waste... i can't imagine it having many carbs in it but they are on the list so there we go.

i also have boiled eggs, some feta, peppers and cucumber in my salad. a bit of cheese to snack on and that's about it... i'm blatently going to get hungry but i can always pop to the shop as it sells cooked chicken legs... i managed to only sleep for about 4 or 5 hours last night... on the first day i can't drink caffeine... argh. i'm going to die a sleepy death today i think...

oh, and can you have green tea on atkins jim?

abz xx

 

[Jim]

Morning abz, yes love as much green tea as you like, I drink mug's of it.

 

[abz]

fantastic news jim. think i'll toddle off and do that right now.

although i've been reading on the atkins side of the forum that people do drink caffeine, just less of it than they did. is this the way things are supposed to be or is this just how people have modified things.

god, if i can avoid caffeine withdrawal at the same time as sugar withdrawal i will grab it with both hands...

abz xx

 

[Jim]

I use decaf tea, coffee and green tea abz.

 

[abz]

well a mug of green tea is down... i'm shattered... painkillers are also at the ready for when i need them...

 

[Jim]

are you still having the back problems abz?

 

[abz]

indeed i am jim. and dancing for four hours straight at a wedding on saturday really will not have helped, ha. the back is not happy today. i rang the docs to find out if they had sent out a referral... and they had, but i have yet to hear back. i'm going to try and ring the spinal place today, see if i can get some kind of response about seeing a specialist before i crumble away...

 

[abz]

oh. and my start weight is *whispers* 15st 3.5.bs... that's two stones up from my lightest a couple of months ago... hopefully at least one of those will drop off fast, having gone on incredibly fast... damn the honeymoon

 

[abz]

i feel sick. i don't know whether it's the green tea, quite unlikely, the eggs and cheese, possible, or just me feeling manky... most likely. i doubt that a couple of hours in atkins could make me feel bad!!

 

[Jim]

not nice abz, no I doubt it's the tea or food as well
