Finished...

Just finished Wheat Belly. I wasn't really reading it to start a new diet. I was just interested in William Davis' findings. It was fascinating. I now know enough to want to avoid eating much wheat the rest of my life. To be realistic I know there are times when I'll want a piece of birthday cake or something, but to eat it daily is just dangerous for your health.

The scales are jumping all over the place this week. Will give a weekly weight update on Monday. I didn't drink enough water yesterday, so must do that today.

Have a good one friends

Weight vs clothes fitting

Thanks to everyone who replied to my 'hungry' post. Amazingly I didn't wake up starving. I'll make sure to have an after dinner snack and not leave it til 10pm :-)

So my weight is dropping quite quickly on attack, but I don't feel like I can feel the difference, so perhaps it's water weight and it takes a while for my fat cells to shrink and catch up with the scales??? Thoughts?

Another beautiful Autumn (fall) day in New Zealand today. I'm actually getting washing dry - very important when you have two kids and one is in cloth nappies!!!

My son turns 4 in half a month and wants a pirate party so I'm busy making him some pirate clothes and trying to work out how I'm going to fudge my way through the 'ship' cake he wants... Cake decorating is not my strongest skill.

Time to boil some eggs.

Hungry

Is going to bed feeling hungry okay???? I'm never sure. I don't feel like cheating but I also don't want to eat late at night (it's 10pm)....

Dinner party tonight and I didn't cheat. I love the start of the diet, I am always so motivated.

Day 2 of reboot

Another successful day. Not so many temptations today. I'm feeling stronger.
No dukan headache yet. It usually hits day 2 for me. I wonder if diet coke is helping with that?

About to tuck into some after dinner eggs :-) don't want to get sooo hungry that I cheat.

Exercise tomorrow morning hopefully. Here's hoping for a good night with the kids.

Reboot take 2

Well despite my brain flooding my mind with excuses, I've officially rebooted and am back full time dukaning!! I seriously couldn't believe the amount of 'garbage' my brain was telling me this morning... and to think that all comes from inside me.

eg: just one more day of eating sugary wheaty food... one little thing won't hurt... what about your family dinner this week... etc etc... today I've been strong. I hope tomorrow and the next day, when the sugar low hits I can stay that way.

I hate it that I've gained back 3kg, which I lost earlier this year. I'm so pathetic. When am I going to get serious about my life and food and stop self sabotaging myself? My husband made a comment to me yesterday that makes me think I'm effecting him with all my ups and downs :-(

What do you guys do to control the ups and downs?

Wheat belly

OH MY GOSH.... this book is fascinating... and I've only just started.

The history about wheat is the most interesting. How we've modified wheat so much that perhaps it's doing more damage to our bodies in it's new form. In fact the ancient grains are fine, its the way we've changed them that's the problem.

Another busy busy week in my life that hasn't gone Dukan-well :-(
Reboot starting Monday.

Will catch up on blogs soon.
I have a reunion in a month to motivate me to get back into my diet on Monday.

Thanks

Thanks for everyone who left me messages! I appreciate it! The hole my cat has left is less sore this week but there are daily reminders around me still making it ache. I can't even (and don't want to) imagine how bad it would be to lose a loved one (human)... those holes must be impossible to heal.

Heh heh... my CD has just flicked to a Christmas one. I don't usually listen to Christmas music any other time but December, it's nice!

Not much else to report. My new exercise plan starts Monday. Let's hope the weather behaves. Today is the first day of Autumn (fall) in New Zealand and it's a nasty day. Summer was the worst I've seen in years and if we get a horrible winter too, I'll be depressed.

I'll be brighter next post, promise!
