weight loss: 0.5kg
total weight loss: 4kg
Wearing my skinny jeans today in a size that didn't fit me two weeks ago. Whoohoo. Went for a swim this morning, although didn't manage a great deal, still recovering from whatever bug I had Friday.
The dukan diet specifies 30 mins of exercise per day, which until now I hadn't been doing. My mission is going to be to do something every day until I work back up to going to the gym.
Now that I can get home earlier most days and with Bubs going into nursery for the mornings, I should be able to find a free hour here and there.
I'm amazed that I've lost so much in just two weeks - for a few days I thought I was going to put it all back on and get nowhere, but my faith is restored. My biggest fear right now is that I can't maintain the level of will power and end up back eating carbs. Then the weight will pile right back on, plus more. Carbs make your body produce insulin. Insulin tells your body to put down fat, which means creating more fat cells. You can never lose fat cells (or so I read) but you can shrink them right down. I'm diabetic, so the whole insulin loop thing is broken anyway and my body really doesn't tolerate carbs very well. So I can't afford to mess this up. BGs are currently amazing and I've been able to reduce some of the medication that I've been on. I wish there was a way of bottling the way I feel now and bringing it out when I'm struggling later on!
I don't really get tempted a great deal. No cravings. Having said that, the bakery did smell amazing when I walked past is this morning! But walk past I did. I know that I will mourn the lack of dad's roast potatoes on my plate later on today too, but I will manage. I struggle more when I don't have meals planned out, so I've done that and am looking forward to some tasty meals this week.
I've also bought some whey powder this morning, which I'm going to experiment with as I've seen it used in quite a few low carb recipies - I know someone who will take it off my hands if I decide that I can't use it!
Breakfast: Boiled egg and turkey rasher, some roasted seeds.
Lunch: cheese spread on dukan bread
Dinner: roast chicken; sugar free jelly with lf yogurt
