Re-Dukaning...

Well I am back on the Dukan path to weight loss again.

I have tried other diets in the last year and have not been successful and reflecting back on my blog it appears that The Dukan was the one for me - at least for a kickstart. 

So I start my journey again and to allow me to do so properly - I want to confess that according to my scales this am, I am currently 19st 2lb and a dress size 20/22 (some times a 18 on top but let's go for the bigger option to be realistic!) 

By next month (17/03/14) I would like to be at least 7lb lighter and comfortable in my size 20 jeans - which have become snug around the waist band because I tumbled them and not because of my weight - prewashing they fitted with gap... They are still loose everywhere else -
Go figure!

It is still my intention to go running but all this torrential rain has put paid to that plan atm but I have been doing yoga stretches at home so that is at least something. Once I get this weekend out of the way I am going to start yoga class on a Sunday, I need it physically and mentally and this means I can tick something else off of my 30 for 30 list, as I will be reconnecting with my old self. 

Well dear readers I shall love you and leave you until next time. That's if there are any readers out there (?) I would love to know if you enjoy my waffle - I will still waffle regardless but it's nice to know that I am not always talking to myself!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, back on Plan I go...

Image
It's been a few months - life's been hectic travelling to the wilds of East London (or South Essex depending on who you talk to) for work and to be  honest I haven't had the energy or inclination to write.  But it hasn't been all doom, gloom  and traffic jams! As for the last two months, my work life has (temporarily) had  a pattern to it as my secondment slowly came to an  end (this will soon change - life will be busy again but that is how I like it!).  So I seized the moment and joined Slimming World properly.  As those have read my previous post will know, since my initial success and then  plateau on the Dukan, three years ago(!), I have struggled to find the focus and  found that the Dukan whilst good was not a long term fit - whilst I still only  eat low fat dairy and proteins but I love carbs and am a picker! So I put back on the weight I had originally lost (but not anything extra - I'm  learning it's about the small wins!) and having tr

Slimming World, Instagram and my Lent driven green tea addiction...

It's been six weeks since I last posted anything really - as life has taken over! But today I wanted to share what I have been up to with Slimming World. It has been ups and downs - I had my lovely big loss following my SP week and then gained and then lost and then maintained... can you see a pattern! I can't lie, I am gutted with how the past few weeks have been, especially as I am still chasing my first stone award, with so many more to go! But I probably haven't been 100%, I haven't had my head in the right place but I haven't binged on high calorie food either, which has shown in the yo-yoing, I am sure it would have been a lot worse had I not been 80% on plan!  Then in the last week or so, my motivation returned. In recent weeks I discovered some lovely SW Instagrammers who have been really inspirational (links below) and then with Lent I decided that for 40 days, I would give up both bread and coffee. My decision was made by the fact that these were two

What a week!!

Well this week has been a hectic one in our house. With OH off work due to his back accumulating in a trip to out of hours Dr first thing (6am!) yesterday morning and another visit today to A&E and a busy but productive week at work. I simply haven't had time to try any recipes from my Dukan book this week, although I have ear marked a couple for next week including trying the galettes, a chocolate oat bran muffins (woo hoo!), Dukan mayo and Dukan bread! I have discovered a lovely fajita paste that is really nice on chicken and combined with cottage cheese it is so yummy! I had it for dinner tonight and could have eaten it all over again - the only problem being I wanted something sweet after - so I've been naughty and had a glass of weak hi-juice squash which did the trick. So you are probably wondering how I've done... Well some how since yesterday I lost 5lb overnight (I've triple checked and it is accurate) so I am 2lb away from having lost two stone sin
