This weekend marks 4 months on the Dukan diet for me. It
sure has been an interesting process to date. I have made a personal choice
that come November 1st I will move to the next phase regardless of
my weight at that time. Dukan says I should aim for 104kgs and the last 3 have
been so hard to shift – I mean ridiculous! That said I am about 6 weeks ahead
of the trend on my weight loss to date and for that I am grateful.
- I have managed to lose 28.7kgs (63.3lbs or 4.5 stone)
- I have gone from a 46 trousers to a 40 (possibly a 38 as my jeans can now come off without being undone)
- My running times have tumbled – running a 5k in sub 30mins and 10k in sub 1hr.
- My feet have shrunk!!??
- My mindset has changed….
I am happy, I am lighter and I am motivated.
I have been away on business this week [no scales – first
time in a long time I didn’t daily weigh] and so sticking to the strict Dukan
was difficult, dinners dictated that I attend as work functions and so carbs
were consumed but I left large amounts, I had small portions and went for the
more protein options on the plates…change of mindset…
I also, for the first time, once I got to the place I was
staying put on my running shoes and went out for an exploratory run to find a 5
– 6km route to run along. I have never done that before and in the past would
never even have thought twice about doing that!
I am pleased that my mindset has changed and I am more
conscious about the things I did and ate and the activity levels I maintained!
I think it shows that things are working and things are changing and, for the
better, will be staying that way.
I am pleased to say that after being stuck at or around
107kgs for just over two weeks this morning on the scale I was down to 106.3kg.
Happy thoughts and lighter scales
