Triage is at GOAAALLLLL!!!!

Nope, just got in......and it's starting to get light!!

Day off today though and back to work on lates tomorrow.....all goes towards holiday in two weeks though and worth about £450! So I'd have to have broken legs to not do it!!

Sleep time now though, just poured a wine to chill....!

Really naughty tonight however, I have streptococcus pharyngitis....it's to blame for the McDonald's chicken n bacon wrap with medium fries!!!

Why o why am I not one of the ones who loses their appetite when poorly!

Morning all,

Still bloody ill, I shan't be going into work today....I feel like death and my throat is just awful! May ring the doctors later and see if they can give me anything.

Anyway, dreaded car MOT day has arrived, I always hate it as it's the day where it can go one of two ways, a pleasantly surprising phone call or similar to that of writing a blank cheque and letting your teenage daughter go shopping with it!!

Knowing my luck and the fact that I go away in two weeks it'll be the latter! :(

I'm planning on cleaning the house from top to bottom today also, although rather slowly and getting it in order before we go away...my DD gets picked up by her dad this morning and she's away with him until the 3rd September! So I'm child free now for 4 weeks.

I also just commented on Scrumbles diary, I'm contemplating a diet break for the two weeks I am away...I would like to incorporate yogurt and fruit and also a little potato and rice with my main meals....in Turkey you usually get provided with Lavash Breads at the start of any meal...so maybe on a couple of occasions I can eat that too alongside the fresh dips...!

So any tips and comments on going ahead with a diet break would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you all have a fab day xx

Morning hun

So sorry you're still feeling rotten, get gargling with some honey for that throat - and don't go mad on the housework - take it easy!

Child free for four weeks, eh - must be exciting and odd at the same time?
 
Susie it is odd but nice to have some me time too, to do just about whatever the hell I want when I want :)

And woop woop, car cost me £100 and that included a new tyre, MOT cost and a wash and wax at the drive thru from me for being such a good boy!!!

Phew....!!!!!

Being ill is no fun, and like you, my appetite never goes, even when I am ill. Hope you feel better soon xx

Hmmmm, I've just had the nicest Chinese ever! It's all I've had today though and was worth it! x

Morning Jo sweetie, hope you're feeling brighter today? xx
 
Hi Jo,
Sorry to hear you're not well - hope it all clears up soon! We're just in the car heading off with DD for 4 weeks together .....hmm think your 4 weeks sounds more relaxing:D

Ref diet breaks/holidays - my suggestion is to plan to eat low carb but allow yourself a few treats - but really focus on what you want and maybe just a taste. Personnaly i find that stops me feeling all yucky and bloated which gets in the way of holidaying and swimming costumes. Of course vino is not included in my small careful bit - that's the bit that flows:eek:

Have fun
Xx
 
Good afternoon all, still feeling under the weather with a slight sore throat this morning but nowhere near as bad as the last few days! That certainly came out of nowhere and hit me like a ton of bricks!

Anyway, just watched the Horizon programme I recorded from last night, Eat, Fast and Live Longer.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lxyzc

And I have to say it was powerful watching, so much so I'm going to look into it in greater depth to work in alongside Atkins.....! I know there are a lot of Judders out there but I want to try and find something that fits in with my lifestyle as my job means I have to be on top form and not thinking about food on my fast days....!! I'm actually loving this control factor.

Last night I had the most amazing Chinese from a new takeaway and thought to hell with it as I hadn't eaten properly for a few days, this morning I'm still in the 9's, (9st 13lb) when I thought I was going to pile on at least 4lbs or so! But no, just a 1lb up from yesterday's WI.

So now I'm thinking if I'm not hungry, which I'm not, why eat? So I'm going to try the just water until tea time with a very light low carb meal to see what happens on the scales tomorrow!

Then tomorrow a normal Atkins day followed by another down day....! We shall see!

I also want to combine optimum nutrition factors so I don't deplete my vitamins and minerals....!

If anyone has any ideas that would combine all these factors then do let me know!!

Hope you all have a fab day, I'm just cleaning through the house today as I didn't do it yesterday due to mainly sleeping off this illness!
