I'm BAAAAACCCCCCKKKKK

Sorry I've been AWOL, but to say that March has been a difficult month would be an understatement and Dukan went out of the window along with my positive mental attitude and the ability to pay for healthy food, but tomorrow is a new month and a new start.

I'm not going to harp on about how terrible March was, but lets just say that considering it was my birthday month it was definitely the worst month of I would say my life. I am afraid to say that I have used food as my emotional crux, I guess I hadn't been on Dukan long enough to have worked through those issues, but in the same breath I guess the issues have also been too great.

However, I have now made some life plan decisions - which we will she how pan out - and as from tomorrow am back on the horse. Lets hope I haven't gained all I lost as I haven't weighed myself in a long while...

A time to regroup

Things are really rubbish at home at the moment, it's my last few days of maternity leave and I really do not want to go back to work, but we are monumentally skint because of me being on maternity leave so I really have to :(

Anyway, unfortunately this is all taking it's toll on my weightloss war :( no money to shop means eating from the freezer, which was filled pre Dukan and is our "emergency" food stash, so nothing healthy really. I am still having my oat bran and trying to follow Dukan as much as possible, but the reality of the current situation is that carbs are in the freezer / cupboard and protein is in the shop where money is needed to purchase it.

I am going to be a little AWOL for a while, at least until James completes his fitting job on Sunday and we finally have money on Monday to shop.

SO, I have failed in my re-evaluated goal of losing 2 stone before returning to work, but I have passed the 1 stone off task. Amazingly I have stayed the same this week, which I am surprised at to be honest, but hopefully some of the good practises I have adopted are helping.

I know that once back at work things will be easier as a) I'll get paid :) and b) I'll be back in the office and under the scrutiny of the thin people LOL

Fingers crossed I can just keep it off until I can get back on track and then I can hammer it home (and also start Zumba and Yoga as I'll have a wage again - woo hoo)

I hope to be back sooner than I think as tonight I was really down because I was eating a pizza - since when has eating pizza been something to be down about? Since I want to be following the diet that was working for me!
