Progress on The Dukan Diet

It has been 7 days since I've started my new eating programme and already I have lost 2.8kg (6.2 pounds)


I started the first three days on a liquid fruit and veggie smoothie diet and on Wednesday I started Dr Pierre Dukan's Dukan Diet.

I must say, I feel great, I don't feel hungry and I'm not moody. Usually, by now, I get quite cranky on a diet because I don't get my favourite foods - chocolate and carbs but I have been feeling energetic and positive. I've also been to gym running on the treadmill every other day and doing loads of spring cleaning at home, which also burns up the calories.

Here is my recipe for the Dukan Diet Oat Bran Breakfast Galette

1 egg
1½ tablespoons oat bran
1½ tablespoons fat free cream cheese
1 teaspoon sweetner
few drops of vanilla

Ready to eat Dukan Diet Oat Bran Galette with Chunky Fat-Free Cottage Cheese and 3 slices of lean chargrilled chicken

The Oat Bran Galette is pretty tasty and on the Dukan Diet, you can have one a day and breakfast is the perfect time for me to eat this, as this is generally when I eat my bread.  So, I don't feel like I'm missing out - not yet. 

You can make your galette sweet or savoury but seeing as most of The Attack Phase (Phase 1) of the diet is mostly 70 different proteins (meats), then I make my galette sweet.  I just need to find a decent sugar-free syrup to go with it. Scrummy!

Going strong but this morning I wanted to cheat and put sugar in my tea - I didn't!  Wish me luck for the next phase - Phase 2. The Cruise Phase - and the long haul towards loosing another 10 - 15kg.

Can you say sugar and fat free?  It's not easy but giving up smoking wasn't easy either.  I'm stickin with it..... 

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday at our house means an Easter Egg Hunt in the front garden.

Both Megan and Kaylin get a basket and I let them loose to collect as many chocolate easter eggs that the Easter Bunny has left behind.

This year was a little different as Megan now knows that the Easter Bunny is fake, so she helped me plant the chocolate eggs and "pretended" to have seen the Easter Bunny just leaving as Kaylin arrived with her basket to see catch him.

The loot was found, the loot is in the process of being consumed, the loot was smeared all over their faces but the loot won't last long.

The sugar high will last longer I'm afraid!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Easter Bunny has been!!!

This weekend we've been having competitions with Kaylin's Paddle Balls.  We have four of them and so far I'm the Paddle Champion!  I have whacked that sucker 45 times in a row so far, so I'm the undefeated Paddle Ball Queen.  Whoohooo! 

Do I win a prize?  Oh God, just not another easter egg.  I'm gonna pop!



I caught the girls playing.  I didn't ask what the game was.  An axe and Goggles?  Must've been pretty rough
