What's going on, Joodle, is school holidays - 4 kids at home and OH swanning off to Corfu with his mates for 3 days! No time to log on.
Right, this is what's happening: I borrowed the book from the library again at the weekend and read it properly - didn't just skim as I did the first time. I'm doing 5 strict pp days in a row this week, last one on Thursday before wi on Friday. I'm going to lose what I can for this week and the 3 weeks after that then go on to Conso - and proper Conso, none of this toe in the water stuff. At the end of August I have a week fully-catered at a music camp in Dorset then a week abroad (I hope) with the family so I have no intention of pp/pv-ing my way through that. Besides, the book makes it very clear that the Conso plan is designed to train your body to accept its new weight, so I want to follow it to the letter - no going under tw, or over (eg on hols) and having to go back to Cruise - I never want to worry about my weight again!
So that's the plan, Stan. And by the way, the book says nothing about limiting the amount of diet pop you drink, in fact Dr Dukan is a big fan, so I drank my way through 2 l Caffeine-Free Diet Coke and 2 l Value Diet Lemonade yesterday, as well as masses of water - IT WAS HOT!!
See you all soon, my minimin friends. Your kind words and encouragement are much appreciated. I have to make this work over the next 3 weeks! Good luck to you too xx
