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!

Fashion Friday Plus Size - My first link up - Week 3...

Image
 I’ve been following  Innocent Charm Chats  blog for over a year now and LOVE her fashion posts and style, which is all about embracing your figure and loving/celebrating the fact your curvy rather than hiding away.  If you've read my previous post you will realise that I am struggling with my weight and not loving my size right now.  So when I saw a tweet about starting a #FashionFridayPlusSize  I decide as part if my 30th birthday overhaul, I wanted on board. I want love what I am wearing, feel comfortable and embrace fashion in a way that suits my shape... I seemed to lose my style when I left fashion retail and gained a few sizes and now I want it back!   I didn't get around to sharing an outfit in the first two weeks -  so starting week 3 of #FashionFridayPlusSize here is my chosen outfit:  Sleeveless Leopard Print Skater Dress - New Look Inspire (Last Year)  Pendulum Cut Jacket - New Look Inspire Blac...

A stone lighter... Onwards and downwards!

I finally shifted the pesky pound which has thwarted me all week. So it is onto the next stone, this time I am allowing myself 50 days to lose it in, which equates to 2lb a week. According to Dr Dukan, this is a reasonable target given the amount of weight I have left to lose. (I promise after the next stone is gone I will reveal all - that's if you want to know?) As I get closer I will lower my weekly target to 1lb, as I full expect it to take longer to shift the lighter I get and I am ok with this. As I hope it will give me chance to firm up, something which is much needed! Especially my tummy. Sorry to keep it short and sweet but I must now go get little man's breakfast ready, but had to share my joy whilst he was occupied with Daddy.

Exante - Day 1

Day 1: This is where I currently am - 120kg, dress size 20/22. The top picture is why I am doing this - my little man. I want more energy to play with him, I want to take a ball to the park and kick it around without as much pain.My weight isn't helping my M.E. and it is causing me to snore so much that D is sleeping most nights in the lounge! 😱 The only way I am going to do all this is by kicking myself up the arse, stop procrastinating and turning to food when I am happy, sad or just because! No more little treats because I deserve it... those little treats have mounted up in lbs!! As well as £s which could be being saved for something better!  I've given myself a good talking too (someone's got too) and for once I have listened. I am still an avid believer that Slimming World is the correct forever path for a healthy lifestyle change but personally I know I currently need something where there are stronger limits to start with. I played with the idea of using th...
