SUNDAY
Tried to blog but something isn't connecting. This morning my weight was disappointing. Back up to the same as the start of the week. WHAT THE? I didn't think I'd done that badly... It's so hard to work out when I'm actually sticking to the plan. I'm not going to let this sway me, I'm determined to reach my next goal and soon.
Tomorrow my bestie and her family are visiting (they don't live close enough for us to see each other much more than once a month and come August they'll be in China, which is a tad further). I'm very excited. Our kids are similar ages and the sun is meant to be shining. Can't wait.
MONDAY
Fantastic day with friends!
Weight down a teeny bit today, wish it were more. Feel like my weight loss is stalled.
Time to start running again
Hope everyone is well

a wee bit wet
I'm home from our camping adventures... sadly the wind and rain battered us a bit and little Miss 8 months decided to wake up numerous times last night - ouch! And in a camp ground, sound travels really well and in a tent crying is piercing!
BUT I kept to my diet really well :-) All meat and no bread makes me a happy girl. I did use a few protein bars and probably ate a few too many sausages, so I guess tomorrow's weigh in will show me how well I really did.
Hubby and I also celebrated our 16 year wedding anniversary while camping. I'm a very lucky girl, I found me a keeper. I fell in love with him on sight at 15 and we have such a cool life together. I'm very happy and look forward to the next 16 years (plus) with him!
See ya later

off camping
I'm off camping again with the family tomorrow. This time I've planned all my meals and I'm going to endeavour to stick to the diet. My hubby is motivated by my weight loss so has changed his diet to remove sugar and refined carbs, I'm really proud of him.
See you in a few days

Another leap down
The scales jumped down another 500g (1 lb) today (WHAT THE?) again I don't believe it... how could I have lost that much in one day? How come this didn't happen last year? I've not even exercised in weeks... I'm not complaining, it's just soooo great that I'm having a hard job believing my scales!!
I'm not even sticking strictly to Dukan... I'm having protein powder (just not enough meat in the house) and a reasonable amount of fat (but that's because I'm still breast feeding my baby and you really need fats in your milk). I'm even having an occasional atkins bar. I guess if all this works for me, then I should be jumping for joy!!! Next goal here I come!!!!!
My food yesterday for those interested:
Breakfast: 3 eggs (yolks and all)
Snack: atkins protein bar
Lunch: Left over dinner (lasagna made with beef mince, tomatoes, cheese and thin egg omelettes (instead of pasta)
Snack: protein powder with a bit of milk
Dinner: the rest of left over dinner
Snack: bit of cream cheese mixed with splenda and cinnamon
As you can see, I also eat quite a bit :-)
Cuppa tea time.... see ya later

Goal 2 achieved!!
Well the scales said 57kg again this morning. YAY. I've reached my second goal. It's taken quite a few months of yo-yoing to reach this goal, but I've finally cracked it... now onwards to goal 3.
Question for those doing Consolidation... Does it have to be bread you can have once or twice a day or can you substitute that for something... I've gone without bread so long now, I don't even want it anymore. I'm much rather eat some pasta or rice with my dinner. (I know I'm a little way off consolidation, but I thought I'd check).
Did you know that losing weight is 80% food and only 20% exercise! I don't feel quite so bad about doing NO exercise this week (yet I still lost HEAPS). Wish the rain would leave so I could get out with my iphone (my excuse for not running in the rain).
Goal for the week: don't let big loss on scale go to head and feel too relaxed and let cheat food slip in.

End of week 1 - attempt 2
On New Years Eve I weighed 60kg and today the scales say 57kg . . . very hard to believe I've lost 3kg (6.6 lbs) in one week, I didn't even do that when I started Dukan the first time back in October... It's safe to say I don't actually believe the scales today, so I'll wait until tomorrow to update my goals (as 57kg is my next goal). Then I'll get excited :-)
It's mid summer in New Zealand and it WON'T STOP RAINING... it's verging on depressing! It's been so long since I've done one of my couch25k runs that I'll probably have to start at week 1 again! We also have two grumpy, house-bound, kids. . . Hubby and I are suffering cabin fever.
On the good side, my green beans are growing like crazy and I'm having them for dinner every night for dinner - yum. And cucumbers are producing so many I'm eating them every day for lunch. I love my vege garden!!
I've just about finished my 'bucket list' for 2012. I've stolen Flamidwyfe's idea, as New Years Resolutions never seem to happen, so perhaps I'll have better luck with a Bucket List :-)

Swimming
Finally the numbers are starting to go down again on the scale. Weighing myself daily is so much more motivational than I realised. Why wasn't I doing this last year???
Today the sun was shining (yay) so we went down to the beach (10 min walk) and swam in the late afternoon. Our beach is really shallow and the tide has to creep a long way up the hot sand to the beach, which makes it super warm on high tide afternoons. My son and I had a great time splashing and relaxing in the water. Miss 8 months wasn't so keen.
Yesterday we went to the zoo, a first for Mr 3 (nearly 4). It was fun to see his expression when seeing the huge animals for the first time. Probably a bit overwhelming for him too. I was so proud of myself. I managed to pack a dukan friendly lunch.
Sad thing about walking around the zoo all day, it's aggravated my hernia, so I'll have to take it easy for a few days. I'm hoping to get back into my running next week.
