Day 17

Hi there
Today has been a good day i hope! i may have strayed a little bit- we went on a day trip out of town and couldn't find meat and veggies for lunch so i had Burger Fuel grilled chicken strips and 2 small pumpkin and ginger balls, but i think they may have been fried. Eek! I also had an iced mocha on the way but to the barista who made it i must have been the most annoying customer of the day! trim milk, half the amount of dutch cocoa, more ice, and could he please pop one of my own sweeteners in! Oh and no cream...that was always my fave part but oh well. And it was fabulous, but i don't know even with all the tweaks if it was Dukan friendly....

Never mind, on the scales this morning and i am down to 64.8kg! so pleased with myself. Hopefully it doesn't go up tomorrow with what i ate today!

Even though i am getting a cold and have all but lost my voice i still got up for a run at 6am and we went swimming with the kids at an aquatic centre, walking round and round the pool holding scared Toddler must have burnt at least a few calories!!!! I am also going to do some Pilates this afternoon, i haven't done for a few days and think my belly needs a bit of a stretch!
On a good note at the pools a pair of size 12 board shorts that i bought a few weeks ago and were so tight i wouldn't have worn them...now pretty much too big! i had to tie them up tight but they were still loose and flappy. Good stuff! I will be able to get rid of them and whip out the size 10s! i like seeing the changes in my shape. The last few months i have to admit the seams on some pants were straining and coming undone...very depressing but i still didn't do anything about it. I'm proud of myself for getting off my butt and doing the Dukan...although my parents were probably sick of me going on about nutritional value of foods, they stayed for two days and have probably gone home and eaten all the junk they can handle with out me bleating in their ears!

All in all still feeling super positive about the Dukan diet. I kind of like having the rules because they are pretty clear and after my mi-steak (lol-get it) last week i feel secure adhering to something that is clearly outlined. Yes it can be frustrating sometimes though, especially when eating out!!!!
