Day 70!

Well i have hit 57.8kg...woohoo! I know i say woohoo all the time but seriously, whenever i have a loss even if it's 100g it's just so exciting! A few weeks ago i thought 57 was so far away, and hard work. I have approx. 2.8kg to lose to get to my final goal....and it seems millions of miles away right now, but hopefully i can make it there okay!
The big thing in my way is Christmas. i don't want to be the Grinch who makes everyone else feel bad about food this time of year, especially my family who all love the food Christmas brings. There just needs to be a balance and as much exercise i can squeeze in! Unless we are away form home there is no excuse for not going for a run-unless it's Christmas morning. then the Santa stockings are more important! Anyway i already have plans for a walk at some point on the day.

I really feel though that if it wasn't Christmas in 13 days then i could crack this 2.8kg easy as pie. But it will take me twice as long if not more due to all the eating i will be doing...yes i know you are thinking, just stick to the diet best you can! And i should. But in reality it will be too hard.
I will still eat oat bran and yogurt every day, still have sweetener and low fat milk in coffee, still drink loads of water, still eat more meat than veggies- but if i have a plate of dessert or some choccies, even some POTATOES or BREAD then i will not beat myself up.

Ok Christmas rant over! Yesterday my hubby took me out for lunch. Of course there was nothing Dukan friendly on the menu! So i decided to have the steak sandwich on ciabatta with onions and tomato, and it came with chips. I gave half of them to Toddler, and ate most of the other half. The sandwich was absolute heaven, everything i have missed! It wasn't huge though which was great. After i felt ok, not too full, and walked for 10mins without a stitch. Went home and did a 30min run, my second of the day. no afternoon tea- but i still felt guilty so i ran a third time for another 20mins, and did Pilates. Just ate chicken for dinner. My legs were so sore i could barely stand! After a good nights sleep i jumped on the scales fearing the worst and....i had lost 100gms!
This is the third time this has happened, so it's proving that i am starting to be able to eat 'bad' things again and if i work hard it might cancel out the food and be a good thing. i am aware though, that this wont happen every time and i will have a gain if i go overboard!
