Dukan – Day 174 – First post after vacation

Well, I’m back from my vacation. It was 3 weeks of whirlwind fun, family and friends. I had a FANTASTIC time. My flights weren’t too bad coming back, but boy do I have edema in my feet and legs. I LOVE that I fit so nicely in the seats in economy now. The seat belt so loose that I can actually pull it all the way out AND sleep on my side!!! WOO HOO! 😀

I don’t think I had a full pure protein day the entire 3 weeks I was on vacation. That will stop today, LOL. I am going to do 4-5 days of PP days to kick my ass back into ketosis. I have a goal to meet and I thought I had, but alas, I have not. First thing I ate after arriving home yesterday afternoon was a TEA EGG!!!  I missed them and they will be my new best friends, once again.

Weight difference from Day 149: Gain – 2.4 lb/1.1 kg
Total Weight Loss to date: 62.7 lb/28.51 kg
Goal: 70 pounds by February 11th: 70 pounds… that’ll take a miracle, LOL

I’m not worried about it. I’ve exceeded all my other goals. I was well behaved, for the most part, on my vacation. I had a couple of glasses of wine. On my flight from Miami to London I had a rum and coke (so I could sleep) and on both flights I was served gluten-free meals, that weren’t all that Dukan friendly, but I ate them, and I had FRUIT and I am okay with that. I miss fruit, and it was just 3 meals.

So back to the grind. My new goal will be 70 pounds gone by February 29th. I’m due to be done with the Cruise phase of the Dukan diet on April 8th. I think I will meet that goal.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

Ciao!

Travel – On My Way Again

Well, I’m sitting at Denise’s, 24 minutes until Jenni picks me up to go to the airport. I love that one daughter picked me up (Tiffany) and another is taking me back. It has been a LONG 3 weeks and packed to the gills with fun, family, friends and traveling.

My vacation didn’t start or end the way that was planned, but that’s OK. I’m a fly by the seat of your pants kind of girl. I’m also intuitive and trust my girlfriends and by doing so you learn a lot about yourself and others.

Jammin’ Jensen 3 Thursdays in a row was the best. I have some AMAZING friends! The trip to my mom’s up in Gainesville and my hike with Mary at Devil’s Millhopper. The park with Sydnie, Shane, Sofia, Jose, Celeste, Lelani, Asa Kai, Lina and Koa… All babies I welcomed into this world, and their mommies was a fun morning and a highlight of my trip. Morning walks alone or with my friend Jamie kept me active. Walking across the many bridges that surround this wonderful place I call home as the sun came up, nearly every morning of my vacation, was magical. The weather had been PERFECT and only today did the storm clouds begin to roll in. I know this is in protest of me leaving 😀

My lunch down in north Miami with the birth workers. Missed several of them, especially Janice. I just don’t seem to get enough time for everyone. Visiting with my niece Charity, who is a midwifery school graduate, following in the footsteps of her Aunt (me) and her great-great grandmother Sofia. She sits her board exams in a week and I ask for prayers and positive energy be sent her way. She’s amazing!

Ping pong with my baby Sadie, her beating me 3 out of 4 games, BBQ at Jenni and Chris’s, 2 visits to Melborne to see my amazing son Nick, backgammon on the beach and the Super Bowl on Sunday (my team won!!!) made for a fantastic vacation.

I’ll miss home and everyone here, but I’ll be back in August… Off I go!

Ciao!
