It’s New Year’s Eve – last day of 2011.
Yes, we survived the Christmas festival of food and wine relatively unscathed
I started the Dukan Diet regimen in January and have maintained my goal weight for months now. And even over the Christmas period that has included lots of champagne, roast turkey and gravy and traditional plum puddings – not to mention the home-made chocolates, Christmas cake and so forth, I have only gained 2 kilos. This will be easy to take off with a couple of protein only days. So I am rather pleased with myself.
The lack of weight gain may be the result of continuing our exercise routine throughout. Bill, my husband, and I made an effort to walk before breakfast every day and to include natural exercise in our daily program. For example, while travelling to and from Brisbane by road from Sydney, we’d stop and walk along the beach and swim in the surf at many spots.
So we head into 2012 with renewed energy to maintain our goal weight. With six weeks of skiing coming up in January/February, we should not only be slim but extremely fit too.
All the best to others who want to lose excess weight. My advice: try the Dukan Diet. Even if you are like me and enjoy a good red or a glass of bubbles, it’s an eating program that can work to keep you slim – for ever!
