Off roading it, my very un-Dukan Holiday...

Hello Hello,

Hope you all had a gorgeous Easter?  I had a BLAST in Glasgow for a friends wedding.  I used to live in Glasgow for about 4 and half years.  I left in summer 2007 and have only been back briefly for New Year 07/08 since then, so there were LOTS of people to catch up with and it was great fun.  The downside being that me and the bf had so many people to catch up with we were going from pub to pub, going 'drink drink drink, taxi! going the next pub, drink, drink, drink, etc. '

First Gold Star

I have my first Dukan Gold Star.  Awarded by me, to me - well done me!!

Do you think it's chocolate under the foil?

It's was awarded for courage in the face of danger.  By danger I mean cheese, butter, sausages, sugar, ice-cream, high running emotions and peer pressure.  Phew.

Psychological Progress and Dining Out Anxiety

Hello there! Long time, no blog.  In my defence I have been pretty ill - not seriously ill, but just frustratingly coldy, watering eyes, both nostrils totally blocked, dry skin and exhausted.  Added to which I have been massively busy with work as well.  I work three contracts at the moment and the one that needs most work and I enjoy least is coming up to it's deadline - so hooray it'll soon be over, but boo, I still have loads of work to do.

Week 1 Review of Dukan Diet

So It's not a proper blog today.  I have a heinous cold and am snotted up good and proper.  It is totally the b/f's fault.  I shouldn't have been so nice to him when he was ill and should have made him sleep in the garden shed.  I do take multivitamins but slightly wonder if my resistance would be higher if I'd had some fruit and fresh veggies in the last 6 days...

Me

Anyway, since I'm feeling a bit grim, I thought I'd do a little review of what has happened over week one of the Dukan.

ATTACK! Day 4 & 5

So on day 4 I felt quite dizzy in the morning, I'm sure it's not lack of fluid, man I have been drinking a lot! I think my body (and mind) must be having protein fatigue.  Honestly, I'm still so new to this diet that I still catch myself unawares with things like, "oh, I'll just have an apple... dammit."  However, the weight is still coming off, so I can't complain too much.  I should be down 6lbs at the end of attack, can't wait!!

Bye-Bye Bread; Attack Day 1

"Do you want to do a special last meal?" That's why the b/f kept asking and I said "No, I don't want to make a big thing about it..."

Anyway, because I had initially wanted to start Dukan about a week ago but put it off until today, inevitably I had some time and stomach room over the weekend to reflect on that choice.

D-Day is Set

Just a quick one tonight...

Was going to start Dukan this weekend, but then our house just became very overbooked.  Grumpy Housemate claims she had booked out the spare-room months ago, whilst the b/f has asked one his friends to stay because he thought it was free. Nice housemate had agreed to lend her room to b/f's friend and stay elsewhere, but now she knows who who his friend is, she is refusing.  It's all very political.   So it will largely be a full and rowdy house this weekend.  Not great.  So I am starting on Tuesday, after Grumpy Housemate leaves for holiday for three weeks (yes!)
