Feeling fit, healthy and happy at my goal weight
End of November and after a month of socializing, concerts (kd lang was sensational), I have retained my weight at 60 kilos. Bill still on 90 – 92 kilos.
We’re basically at the Stabilisation Phase and we follow some of the Dukan rules!
- We try to exercise every day and succeed most days – 50 minute walk every morning with longer walks on the weekend.
- We do one protein day a week.
- We do not have two celebration meals in a row.
- We have at least one tablespoon oat bran every day.
On the other hand, we’ve done some liberating things too.
- We’ve reintroduced chocolate into our diet. We like dark, low sugar which is a bonus.
- We’ve drunk a lot of champagne and wine.
- We’re having more bread since we started the program.
- We eat what we want to a large degree.
The change is that, generally, we’re eating healthier across the board. Our eating habits have changed and our tastes too. I no longer crave fish and chips. I no longer eat corn chips or other wasted-calorie foods at random. I chose healthier foods on a menu when I’m out. And I order Chocolate fudge pudding with vanilla icecream sometimes for a celebration meal treat.
I’m happy at my goal weight of 60 kilos. I can try on clothes in size 12 and they fit. Clothes generally look better on me. I get lots of compliments about how good I am looking. And I feel healthy, fit and strong.
Yoga is a big bonus for feeling great. It’s great for firming the body and relaxing the mind. And I’m sure it is a major factor in feeling so well.
The Dukan Diet – modified for socially active, champagne loving gals and guys – has been a huge success.
I’ve proved it – it works!
Susie, I agree with all that you have to say about the Dukan way of eating.
I love your skinny bitch drink, i do the same with scotch and diet gingerale.
Like you I lost around 10kilo’s and find that i am keeping it off by sticking to the one day protein, regular exercise etc etc.
So many people think this is a fad diet, to me it is a whole new way of maintaining my 62kg which I have now done for 18 months.
I enjoy your blogs and look at them regularly in search of any thing new you come up with. Thanks for going public with your blog.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree this is a changed way of life. I am, however, mindful of not eating too much red meat so on protein days my husband and I tend to eat a lot of fresh fish that we get from the Sydney Fish Markets. BTW, having a skinny bitch right now!
