dave22's Journal, 18 July 2008

Well 'Holy Baloney' how quickly a week can pass... My lil week off is done, but it was terrific.. I just took a week off to be at home with all the gang who are on school holidays. I didn't go away anywhere as there were some in summer camps and others playing football so I just stayed and pottered and experienced the joy of being part of 'ordinary' family goings on... Foodwise I was semi brilliant, meaning that I only put on 0.3 of a pound according to the fancy new high fangled scales.

So last wednesday came and Conor headed off to Germany for two weeks, Sarah, Patrick and Tiernan headed off to the Yorkshire Dales in the UK for two weeks leaving me with work, the dogs, my food recording notebook and some very special and rare John Wayne movies that I intend to start watching from tonight.... 'Pilgrim'!! I have already cooked half a cow, divided it into sad single portions and popped them in the freezer... welcome to the caveman diet - meat and cream!!

Well according to my notebook I have been sticking religiously to a sub 20 carb a day routine... but still ketosis eludes me.. I keep coming close, which makes me try even harder and then, next time I check.. I'm back down on the bottom rung of the ladder again *shakes fist at nothing in particular* anyway at least it still keeps me trying to get there... can one be stubborn AND easy going???

No word from the internet people as yet as to which day they are coming to install the net at home, should be anytime now (ya'll can see how quickly things happen over here!)... just got a text from the bookshop to say that my copy of 'Good carbs Bad Carbs' has arrived *s* will pick that up tomorrow.

Houses are feckin' lonely with nobody there... arn't they! (am finding meself talking to me fridge!!! yes, I know I know.. mad as a hatter)

Well its all rush as I still settle back into work and catch up on everything.. Have a GREAT weekend..

Am off now to peek at all the journals - especially ones that mention bra's, on account of me being a typical impish male type thingy... its what we do! so I'm reliably imformed....... *s*

Hey Dave, welcome back! Did you see Paige E's journal a couple of weeks ago regarding ketosis. It was pretty interesting, the basic theme was that her doctor friend told her you don't have to be in ketosis for Atkins to work. Alright, I just realized I need to make coffee RIGHT NOW!

Yes, nice to have you back! =D And YES... stubborn and laid back... tis me, too...lol ;) I'm purdy stubborn, when I needs to be, just kat, miteslur and others who really know me! lol *sigh* Good to hear that you're keeping your carbs in check and journaling away. I'm sure the internet at home will help out with that, too. Enjoy some of the quiet time, before it's gone. :) Have fun with them movies, too! :)
