Morning everyone
Well the last 2 days I've been doing a LOT of thinking about the dukan and me, and I have come to the decision that I just can't do it anymore. Of course I physically can do it, and it's the best and only diet that have seen results, however, it is just sooooo time consuming I am spending nearly all my spare time cooking my dukan stuff and I am ashamed to admit this, but have been neglecting the kids & the OHs meals a shameful amount.
And because I work part time, I usually do most of the cooking, but since I've been on dukan, my husband has had to fend for himself (which he has not moaned or commented about once, he knows me too well lol) and we both work funny shifts, it's just the whole family's eating is so disjointed and unhealthy, I just need to have a massive rethink about what we can eat together.
about 3 days ago, I had a day off and spent 4 hours of my day batch cooking mince, my dukan sponges etc.....then when the kids and OH came home, I ended up going to tesco express & buying them ready meals!!!!! Cos I have totally forget about them doing the weekly shop, I'm so focused on buying 30 eggs and 4 packs of mince etc. I could have spent 4 hours batch cooking healthy family meals for everyone...
so what to do now? Well in the grand scheme of things, I haven't got a massive amount to lose...I now want to lose a stone to bring me down to 9st 6.....but anything 9stone something I will be ecstatic about. So I am going to loosely base my diet on a combo of dukan & slimming world.....not having bread, but allowing fruit veg & meat, but allowing myself pasta rice & potatoes when the family are....but most importantly I will be committed to my daily exercise, walking & gym sessions...with yes one pure protien day a week, like conso....
I've just got to get it in my head that I'm not going to lose 5lbs in 3 days anymore, but hopefully it will be slow but most importantly steady!!!
i know that at some stage I will always return to dukan for a blast or 2, maybe when the kids are with their dad for 4 days, but for now, I need something different to suit all of us....
Sorry about the war & peace length.....now dukaners....have a fab day, I've got my last 12 hour shift then 6 days off to see how I get on...
