Oh my, what a year it has been!
My last post was about getting back on the diet and being strict and so on. Well it didn’t work out. Maybe if I chained my mom to my kitchen table and have her cook my meals all the time things would have turned out differently 
Unfortunately she went home, which being abroad meant bye, bye home cooking.
The new job has been a mixed blessing. A career changer and a personal experience in some ways worth the dietary and health issues. On the other hand my weight crept back to just under what I had when I started the diet. Hey, could be worse…
But the good news is after plenty of ups and downs at work I’m now working from home 3 days a week. Yeah – I can get back to home cooked meals, which has been my main problem. I neither had the time to cook them nor much of an option to carry the rare stuff I did cook with me. 2 days should be easier to prepare for in advance 
So with this new found energy, expect some new recipes and a better looking progress update! I promise

As you have probably noticed I couldn’t quite get back on the diet proparly after the Christmas break for longer than a couple of days. Now that Easter is over I have decided to re-start properly.
On the plus side despite eating whatever I fancied in the last couple of month I haven’t gained much weight from the point where I stopped dieting. In fact most of my weight gain happened in the last couple of weeks when I was taking steroids for medical reasons. It’s a good thing to see, as it gives me hope that once I finish the Dukan program it looks like the weight should not bounce back.
One thing I’m not sure about is whether I’ll be doing daily or weekly updates here. Depends on how much time I’ll have to spare on a daily basis.

Well what can I say. Holidays do not help keeping a diet. So any updates will be back after Christmas. I’m trying not to stray too much from the diet rules but there is no point pretending I’m properly abiding them…
Anyway, whether you are being a brave and strong diet soldier and you are keeping the diet over the Holidays or you are giving yourself a little break Merry Christmas to everyone!

Weight change: -0.5kg
When I put all the figures in, I was actually surprised howlittle ups there were through the course of my diet so far. It definitely felt like there were more regressions. Sometimes looking at the big picture can actually help your motivation aparently…
To start a new tradition above is the just finished vegetable 5 day phase.
Overall I am 6.3kg lighter in 5 weeks.

I took the test on Dukan’s website and this is what it said.
Well having no clue about the French language did not help, but I guess picture do speak for themselves.
Unfortunately my Attack phase did not go as well as predicted I think it was about 2kg or even slightly less that I lost. I do think it might have something to do with the fact this is actually my second attempt at Protal – and the first time I tried I did lose around 3.5kg in the Attack phase,so I guess my body was just too well prepared for a retry…
Too bad I found out about the test a bit late – this is why my starting weight on the graph is less then when I started the diet. Interestingly enough the suggested weight for me was 63.1kg rather than the 65kg I picked myself. Though considering I’ve been quite gifted in certain body areas and have quite heavy bones I’d be happy with 65kg…
