The First Diary of Trudy C age 40 something!

[trudyc]

Right to be worried Mrs R - having a few issues with myself still!!! LOL! Gave in to an unplanned unecessary Gala meal on Monday - we ended up in Cosmos in Swansea which was like the land of heavenly food - to be fair I didn't just pig out but I did have exactly what I wanted including a selection of mini desserts, and another on Tuesday this week which has annoyed me - because it wasn't planned on Monday, I also ate the house out when I got back because I was cross with myself...... Tuesday's was more controlled and no binging after but................. who am I kidding........ - off to the USA on Sunday and really do want to be in control for the week I am away in the land of food and massive portions - gonna be hot in Kentucky so I am hoping that I sweat it off whilst I am working!!!! We will see!!! Today is a new day (and its peeing down)and a new start........ not gonna over react and do cruise again - will do PP day tomorrow as planned but stick to conso otherwise!!!!

 

[CHRISR]

same here Im not worrying really (dont believe it) - I know I will be much more in control once Im back at work. For me it's just chocolate (sorry bad word) that I can't seem to control everything else is dukan fine. I just cannot say NO at the moment!

Girls I'm feeling your pain come on back in the zone....you have come too far to slip.Trudy you've had some fab meals and enjoyed them so no guilt. It will be so hot in America you'll not want to eat xxx

Trudy, be strong my friend! And don't panic! You've said yourself you are actually much lower than the TW Dr Dukan originally set you so if you can't stay there it doesn't mean you have to balloon right back up to ....teen stone. Stick to Conso as best you can and enjoy! There's no room for guilt in Dukan-ing xx

 

[trudyc]

A good couple of Dukan days thank goodness - feel a lot better for it too and need to dearly remember that when I want to stray!!! Hard not to think that I have ballooned in the last week or so - certainly feel like I have!!!! Vivid imagination thanks to my two naughty days!!!

[trudyc]

So WI today and I have gained two pounds - not stressing about it - was the wake up call I think I needed - Dr D says your body will extract every extra calorie it can from food and boy I gave it a few to deal with...... REALLY hope I can remain strong in the USA and stick to Dukan friendly fare - one thing great about the USA is that they usually do big portions of meat so fingers crossed I can stick with it!!!!

[ellie1969]

im drooling at the thought of steak now lol.... have taken peppered steaks out the freezer for dinner YUMYUM

 

[sarafvrm]

Salad bars too! Stuff yourself with good things if you're feeling greedy x

 

[trudyc]

OMG small things girls but just had toast with cheese on it spread with Dukan bbq sauce and ham it was lush lush lush!!!

 

[ellie1969]

im avoiding bread.... its evil

 

[sididd]

Trudy did it taste like pizza????

 

[trudyc]

im avoiding bread.... its evil

Agree with you Ellie but trying to control the bread rather than it controlling me!!!! I will win - was talking to my friend who has 2lbs to go to tw about conso and it really did put it into perspective for me - lets see what the next week brings!!! x

PV day
B - 2 blueberry muffins
L - ham
D - ham and cheese toast with Dukan BBQ sauce/ 2 blueberry muffins

LOVE the blueberries in the muffins - soooo lovely - my absolute favourite and made a batch to take with me to USA - didn't eat enough PP today but after the toast I actually wasn't that hungry - too much ham but lean and lovely!!!

 

[sarafvrm]

Cheese on toast as an evening snack sounds like a great idea, if I haven't had to resort to a cheese sandwich at lunchtime. And I completely agree with you about bread - you can always make sure it's wholemeal, weighs the right amount, etc, if you need to feel you're exercising control. xx

 

[CHRISR]
