After a long--and totally inexcusable absense--I'm back at the blog :-) And as of this morning, I've lost 40 lbs total. I'm also very proud of the fact that I haven't had any sugar since 2 May, and amazingly, after about the first week, it just gets easier.
Since it's Memorial Day, I decided I would grill something tonight, so I headed out to Weeton's in Harrogate to see what they had. I ended up with some yummy-looking beef skewers and some broccoli, asparagus, red chili and spring onions. I'll grill the skewers and stir-fry the veg with some garlic, ginger and soy sauce, which should be fabulous.
I am currently on the cruise phase of the Dukan Diet--and will be there for quite a while longer. I think this is the diet I've been looking for for years! I just don't like fruit and so many diets are very heavy on the fruit. Also, so many diets are not sustainable for the long-term but I think this one will be. Plus, it's not all about just losing the weight; this actually has a program to help you stay at your new, healthy weight--and it's not BMI-based! Oh, wonder of wonders!! So many diets want you to get down to your BMI weight, which in some people's cases just isn't worth doing. My goal is to get more active--not wear single-didit dress sizes. Already I'm noticing a difference: quite a few of my tops and jeans are loose, I'm not as breathless and my knee is feeling better. And I've gotten past my first hurdle--about 4 lbs ago is where I've stopped/gotten bored with my most recent dieting efforts.
So wish me luck! If the veg are good, I'll post the recipe tomorrow.
