Afternoon one and all! Sorry for being so quiet on here recently - been a manic week.
Going through a bit of a weird time with work - could be out of a job in around a month so I've been hecticly looking around, and flinging CVs out left right and centre. Eek!
Went to Tesco earlier and filled my basket with all manner of meaty treats, including low carb frankfurthers, sliced roast beef, chicken thighs, serrano ham etc... oh, and about 12 pots of SF jelly and some atkins bars.
OH is looking after dinner tonight, so hopefully he will do be something nice and Atkins friendly. I think he is still trying to get his head around it - only a few days ago he said he thought eggs and cheese were pure carb - so there is a bit of re-educating to do. It's strange to think that some people just don't "understand" food the way we fatties do, lol. When you've never had to bother, why would you? *jealous*
Other than that, I am meeting an old girlfriend at my pool after work for a swim. Not seen here properly for a while, and have heard that she is a bit miserable at the moment, so hopefully will be able to cheer her up. Then got 'another' girlfriend coming round to my place afterwards for a girlie catch up. Should be a nice evening.
Have just booked this Friday off work so loving the fact I've only got two more work days left this week. Yey! Going to a wedding on Saturday down in a village south of Gloucester, so figured I'd book a hotel for Friday night around Cheltenham... chose one with a nice pool so OH and I can go swimming and have some bubbles. Should be a nice weekend
Right then - I am nattering about very little of note, so I will jog on and shuffle papers around to get me through to 5pm, hehe.
Oh, weight wise - worth mentioning - I seem to have stuck on 12st 10.5lbs since last Friday, so please can you all cross you fingers for me to have a whoosh over the next few days, all very annoying!!
I haven't been bad this week Whooshy Fairy, honestly I haven't So... please fairy, please... get your ass over here and get whooshin'.

morning. omg menu sounds delish!
pilates or yoga will both help your back and toning your stomach muscles will help your core strength which will in turn help your back
Hey sweetpea -
Yeah, will def sign up to Pilates again. I did it for about 4 months until around a month ago, because I thought my backpain was caused by muscle weakness etc ... it definitely helped my core strength, but I stopped when my specialist said it wouldn't help my back 'improve'. Even that being the case, I still want a lovely toned tummy and core strength, so I'm going to start again next week I think
Yey.x x x

Day going a bit rubbish so far... started the day by getting stuck in gridlock following an accident on my way to work... then turned round and promptly managed to get lost... was about 15 mins late for work... got my little finger stuck in a cupboard door... and now arrived to an email from a supplier quoting for the wrong thing! Grrr... honestly, today can only get better.
Managed to get cross with my OH too, while he was trying to navigate me around the bad traffic (over the phone)... stupidly ignoring his directions which were the better ones in the first place... and so he is all peed off with me. I swear to god, I am the worst 'morning' person sometimes. I hate traffic jams, they do something to me - like a full moon or something. Haha.
ANYWAY. Diet wise I'm ok. Keeping on keeping on. Weighed myself this morning and was annoyingly about 2lbs up on last Friday's WI, but I haven't cheated so I am just hoping these come off before this Friday.
Yesterday:
B: 2 egg omelette with sliced mattesons smoked sausage & cheddar
S: 1 bbq & 1 normal pepperami, 2 babybels, creamy coffee
L: three thick slices roast beef, salad greens, full fat mayo
S: Atkins coconut bar, 2 chicken thighs, 4 frankfurters
D: ribeye steak and 10 spears asparagus, with full fat mayo
- all washed down with coke zero, dr pepper zero and water
This morning I had the same omelette for breakfast, a multivitamin, and now gulping down my creamy coffee...

Hey V,
Nope - I'm in Marketing, but good guess!
Day getting better you'll be pleased to hear - managing to get stuff done and foodwise I have just logged into MFP yesterday and today's food diaries and I am definitely under my 20g carbs... so 'phew'!

Morning both!
Right. I need a shake up. Got on the scales this morning and they were up again to 12st 12.5lbs. Last Friday I was 12st 10lbs, so I am a bit fed up.
Boooooooo... any advice for what I can do today to skim off 3-4lbs before the morning?
I did a dipstick last night and I am definitely in ketosis - albeit quite pink rather than purple.
Sorry for always being the moany one - I am just trying so hard and not really getting anywhere... I am the best part of three weeks in and - as of this morning - I am only about 5lbs down.

Hi SD, I'm having same issues this week, 2lb up on last and not done anything different, but I think its the reduced water intake, really not had time to drink a great deal this week. Your menu's are fine, so try upping the water (note to self... take own advice) and lets hope our whoosh fairies are kind to us soon!

Hi everyone...
Sorry not been around very much.
Yeah, I'm on MFP but haven't used it for logging Atkins. Will start though and send you the link.
Did my weigh in yesterday and was 2lb up so I'm not happy.
Haven't "been to the park" for over 4 days so am in agony.
Generally just feel really fat. My body looks flabby and gross.
Want this effing diet to hurry up.
Going to a wedding today and wanted some body confidence.
Peed off, sorry x
