Sara's Dukan Diary: Stage 2 Cruise

LOL - loving the plan stan and the showing of bodies even in the privacy on ones garden - it's a great start!!! LOL!
 
Great to read the positivity Sara :) I'm trying the same thing myself, no cheats, no leeway, just dukan straight down the line, hard yards "head down bum up" :D

Go girl!!
 
Yeah sorry, I say it all the time at work lol
Much prefere it to, crack on!
 
Ok, so I have been rewarded for my 5 days of pp this week by a 1.5lb loss (-0.5lbs in the last 3 weeks). I'm not overly impressed but I suppose it's a movement in the right direction. This leaves me 5.5lbs to lose in the next 3 weeks if I'm ever to reach my tw - unlikely if recent trends are anything to go by but never mind.

Looking forward to my barbecue at friends' tonight, watching the opening ceremony. Doesn't seem like 6 years ago that London won the bid, or is that what all old people say?! Enjoy, all! xx
 
Good loss Sara, enjoy your bbq tonight ooooo its exciting xxx
 
Enjoy ur BBQ . Well done with loss of weight, I did five pp/2pv for the last six-eight weeks of cruise as my loss slowed...... Head down, bum up and go for the finish! Xxxx
 
Just caught up Sara & it sounds like you have a good plan. Great loss this week & you are sooooo close now keep going x
 
Just had an amazing, if exhausting, 2 1/2 days of Olympic action! The party for the opening ceremony was really fun - I wasn't expecting the opening ceremony to be such good viewing, normally they seem interminable. Several people quizzed me about how I'd lost so much weight, one even commented on my 'bikini bod' - I'm quite tanned from letting it all hang out in sunny London last week! I was massively tempted to drink, for the first time since I quit 2 months ago, not quite sure how I stopped myself but glad I did now.

Saturday and Sunday were spent at Olympic tennis. We were on Court 1 and the weather on Saturday was fab. Yesterday it kept raining but we managed to sneak our way onto Centre Court and watched Andy Murray, Maria Sharipova and Jo Wilfred Tsonga - amazing! Public transport, security, the volunteers, everything ran like clockwork and the atmosphere was great - lots of different nationalities, lots of English who weren't officionados of tennis but were there because it was the Olympics, everyone happy and friendly and remarkably relaxed and excited at the same time, if that's possible. Honestly, if you get the chance to go to anything at all, do it! The only downside, the incredibly tedious picnic (mine)! God I shall be glad when I don't have to be the weirdo munching on lumps of dried out roast beef, interspersed with boiled eggs, all day, all washed down with 1 1/2 litres of water! Roll on, 2 weeks on Friday...
 
Glad you had a good time at the 'lympics Sara :)

Well done for exercising your alco-resistance muscle ;)

I agree regards dukan picnics :) there are far better things in life it has to be said :) how long are you giving it 'til you hit conso? xx
 
Sara, you get a big pat on the back from me for your efforts. I was so desperate to reach TW these last few weeks that it really focussed my mind. You can do it, keep up with the white protein, limit those tolerateds as much as poss and walk!
Your experience at the tennis was exactly the same as mine at the Olympic park. Never got in and out of a big event so quickly and easily, everyone so friendly - great to think this is the impression visitors will go away with. Sounds like you saw great matches, amazing! Jx
 
Kept thinking of you, Joodle, as I saw all the volunteers in their purple (?) and orange (nice trainers, though!) They all had such great people-skills, too - did you have to be interviewed?

I'm sure you're right about the white protein, think I've just lost all enthusiasm now and am just going through the ropes...
 
We've got tickets to see the hockey on Friday, really excited!!! Well done for staying on track at the tennis, and planning ahead with your picnic. I find lunch is always the hardest meal of the day as I always have to eat it away from home, and like you say it usually ends up being a few cold bits of meat and boiled eggs. Roll on conso!x
 
Glad you enjoyed it Sara. My volunteer role is a bit different to the guys you saw in purple and red. They're game makers, we're London ambassadors. They help with the games, we help with the extra tourists. There's is a better role really but I missed the deadline to apply. And yes, it was a really rigorous application and interview process, didn't think is get a place as apparently 30,000 applied for 8,000 positions. Our uniform is also waaaay uglier than theirs - pink and purple! We didn't get shoes either. But I don't care, am just happy to be part of it. You seeing anything else?

Sorry to hear you've lost your enthusiasm. Not sure what to suggest. Maybe a week if conso to see if that perks you up a bit? Or commit to a few strict PP days then re-evaluating? Or are you maybe feeling happy with where you're at? In which case....yay! Jx
 
Funny you say that Sara - I was watching beach volleyball with a friend yesterday and was saying the same - so random. Especially that they important all that sand!

Hope you're enjoying Wembley - have a friend there tonight, she's complaining there's been no goals! Jx
