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!
I know how tough this time is for you, and I don't blame you for having struggled at all, I think right now your priority is to focus on spending precious time with your babies, and I agree that once you're back at work the diet will be easier and more financially viable to follow.
ReplyDeleteI think even in the short time I followed Dukan it changed and educated me and my opinion of food, allowing to want to make healthier choices. I also think the weaning journey we are both on is helpful to our desire to lose weight - as families we can learn to eat better by teaching our children that.
I'm still behind you 100% and I know you'll be back on track soon. Thinking of you Liv. I'm here for you whenever...oh, and if people have cake at work, text me and I'll help you resist it ;) xxx
Sorry to hear you're having a rotten time. You had a great start, over a stone off in that time is really good. Just try and tick over and eat as well as you can, keep up the walking etc and when you are back at work, I'm sure you'll soon pick up and it'll start coming off again. For now, as Laura says, make the very most of these few days with the children. When you go back to work, start as you mean to go on, take your food, resist the coffee time cake etc and walk around whenever you can. Good luck and I'll be popping back here to see how things are going.
