Good morning to the UK! and Europe. xx
Morning!
It was a lovely day here in Melbourne today and I hope you have one which is similar.
Nice so far, thanks.
First time in 4 days and finally a bowel movement (ok enough said)!! LOL
Hooray for PV days.
Jeans went on easy today (since last weekend). Also tried on a dress which hasnt fit since March. It has been too tight around my arms and every time I lifted them it cut into me under the arms. Well not this morning fit beautifully.
Excellent!
Been reading a little more on the Dukan book and just about at the half way mark. It's talking about Stabilization and also when you feel that you cannot go on with CONSO you should stop and go to stabilize and then maintenance. ....
This got me thinking that I know at some point I will still go out for dinner with hubby and friends, the weather is really starting to be sunny and outdoorsy, and this will involve a wine (I can stop at 1, not a big drinker). Not that I am planning on breaking my Dukan plan but know that if an occasion arises that I will want to enjoy myself (not go crazy, but still be social).
I've done this regularly, eating with friends is important to us. I just have the meal (and a drink or maybe 2) and the next day am back on track. What I did do is stick to Dukan at home and only go off-track when invited out, if you are entertaining it should be easy to find Dukan-friendly stuff. I did a couple of PP days together afterwards to minimise weight-gain (and always managed a loss at WI, albeit sometimes tiny). There's no doubt that this has slowed me down though - I should have been at goal 2 weeks ago, but will need another week, maybe more (but I'm moving onto conso next weekend anyway).
So a plan hoping that I will only be breaking 1 meal of the day and will try and opt for fish and salad/vege, along with 1 glass of wine followed by sparkling mineral water for the remainder of the event.
Good plan - you shouldn't go far wrong with that.
What has got me stumped is that in the book when it talks about giving in to temptation you can do 1 or 3 things... one of them says that if you choose to continue with Dukan you will go back to Attack and more or less start a fresh. Has anyone done this? What happened? Was is a full blown several days of binging afterwards or were you back on track after that one meal?
I don't think you do attack more than once. You could do more PP days in a row though but continuing with the same amount of oatbran (rather than the smaller amount in attack) and limiting the tolerated items.
