I've been suffering from a groin hernia for about 4 years. It comes and goes a bit, but yesterday it was so super painful that I was almost crying. I think I've been lifting too much lately and that often makes it worse. I will get it operated on, but they won't do that til I've had all my children. So today's run didn't happen, well actually there is NO WAY I could run with it hurting like this.
I was only ok with food yesterday as I had a few bowls of muesli instead of protein, as I needed comfort food (for some reason muesli is my comfort food at the moment).
Oh and my favourite food at Christmas is: Lemon Meringue Cheesecake. I could probably make it mostly dukan friendly, if I left out a few ingredients, but sweetened condensed milk will be hard to find an alternative for and it's sooooo delicious.
Hope everyone is well.

Hey, thanks for the comment on my blog :-) I totally agree with you about not revealing to others that I am "dieting" they just don't understand that I'm not happy having a spare tyre around my waist even if they are OK with it! Sorry to hear you are in pain, that is frustrating. The Lemon meringue cheesecake sounds nice - to be honest I would make it how you prefer it and not "dukanise it" eat a nice portion - feel like you've had your treat and move on. It is not everyday we get to eat our favourite foods and I'm of the mind-set know that if I have had my little share then I don't need to indulge further and fall off the wagon completely. Like having a celebration meal then back to the routine.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are in pain!! hope you feel better soon and I agree with wwangel, every once in a while if you feel you need to eat something "bad", do it, but don't go wild! just have a portion, close your eyes, enjoy it and then keep going!!!
ReplyDeleteOuch -- your hernia sounds so painful. :( Hope you feel better soon...
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about that pain! That sucks.
ReplyDeleteI posted a recipe here that might make for a decent substitute for a lemon-y dessert - althought it's a far cry from lemon meringue pie (which you should at leat have once if it's your favorite!):
