OK.  So.  I wasn’t an angel with what I ate yesterday (and apologies for not posting, time got away from me and I didn’t even start the post) but I wasn’t totally evil.  And it’s the second Thursday in a row where I’ve jumped by a ridiculous amount from one day to the next.  Maybe I should start disregarding Thursday weigh-ins? At least it’s lower that LAST Thursday’s weigh-in, hooray.

Ahem.

In other news, my boss has just approved us obtaining Costco cards through our work, and I’m looking forward to obtaining some lovely big trays of meat for repackaging and freezing.

J and I have been talking long and hard about Dukan.  Neither of us have been particularly good recently.  We’ve decided that next Monday, we’re going to turn over a new leaf, and he’s going to contribute more to the cooking, on a more organised, scheduled basis.  That’ll be nice.  We’re going to do things like, set “dinner time” for 7.30, and agree meals in advance rather than saying “what do you wanna eat now?” “I dunno, what do you wanna eat?”

We’re going to have a celebration dinner at a restaurant once a month, and a celebration breakfast at a cafe once a month.  The odd drink here and there, but aside from that, we’re gonna be good.

From Monday, I’m going to try and get at least 30 mins walking in per day, on top of my daily cycling commute. I don’t care whether it’s at lunch time or after work, but I gotta do it.  I have a pair of trainers living permanently at work, and I work right behind one of Edinburgh’s most well known city landmarks (after the Castle) – Arthur’s Seat. God I love this city.

What’s helping this sudden bout of enthusiasm? Could have something to do with the fact that I can feel the Dukan community waking up from the long cold winter.  New bloggers are popping up, and we veterans hope to support them in any way we can.  We also hope to gain recharged enthusiasm ourselves from these fresh new Dukaneers – welcome! 🙂 Come!
