Resignation..

As some of you know, but not all. I resigned from Oracle on Monday. I had about my fill. The company doesn't treat its employees bad, but man can they screw up a project. I don't know if its the wrong caliber of people, or as I suspect the way wrong management team. I got tired of basically getting nothing meaningful accomplished. Project after project I'd build or recommend only to have it crawl to a halt before implementation. There were projects that were deemed important, that I didn't see implemented for 18-24 months!

Anyway, new job should be happier, but way more busy. I will be working at Shutterfly as the Security Guy (tm), no vulnerability too large, no exploit too small, etc.. etc.. etc.. It should be a lot of fun, but WAY more hours, I expect no less than 50 a week, but that's cool, I'm good under pressure.

Well I'm off to finish cooking dinner, steak.. Trying again to do the atkins thing.. dunno what I was doing wrong, but right now I'm limiting myself to about 5g of carbs a day, which is about 1-2% of the daily recommended.

OMG andrew you cannot do that. Believe it or not, its a science, you have to have at least 20 grams of carbs, if you lower it, you will get sick and not be healthy, it wont work. Its not about lowering the carbs, its about cleaning the glycogens from your body and starting the ketosis.

Email me with your menus and stuff and I will get you on the right track. Are you drinking enough water? Eating vegitables? If you are not getting your carbs from veggies, you also won't lose. You hafta eat it all together, if you leave out any part, it wont work.

More so, what you're doing, is very very dangerous.

Re: Im retarded and wasn't logged in :)

Just wanted to add in my .02 of you are totally right. I was going to offer the same suggestions/advice to Drew :)

Drew, additionally you should consider checking out lowcarbfriends.com. They have a very active message board that I've found extremely useful for getting suggestions and advice. The one other key to success I've found is fitday.com. It's a free online meal tracking tool. Very helpful!

Re: Im retarded and wasn't logged in :)

I have the book, though I have to admit, I haven't read it.. I've been pretty busy, and besides.. I'm a lazy bastard.. I have to admit, one of my most horrible faults.

Oddly enough, I actually know where the book is (I'm a cluttered bastard too!) so I'll grab it and see if I can read some of it..

I'll surely take any advise, help I can, as long as its stuff I can do, I am a guy after all and we tend to have problems following complex directions to anything.

Shutterfly

I've not yet heard anything bad about them, but I have heard a lot of people who don't know them yet. I think it's an alright gig, I'm a little worried about the business model, but it is in a niche and I think that may be all it needs, though they have told me they are seeking other opportunities with their technology which is good.
