33. Day 57...
Mon Jun 29, 2015, 08:11 AM

Well, finally dropped another pound, so at least the scale is back to
moving in the right direction!

The weight is NOT falling off like most Dukan bloggers...

BUT, it IS coming off.... and I am committed to sticking to this
until November.

I have to remember that the diet survived my daughter's
week long visit. She had a list of places she wanted to eat
at while she was here, and I dodged a couple of those bullets
by either staying home or ordering smart. Every time I go out
to eat, I try to order within the guidelines, but there is always
oil or full-fat cheeses to contend with. I'm better off preparing
my own foods, by far!

18 lbs. down in 8 weeks, so still running about 2lbs/week.

Haven't found the ketosis strips yet. I'll look for them today.

Hope your health is back and you are enjoying your walk.
It is a pain to get the tennis shoes on and get out the door,
but I do admit to enjoying the evening walks with my husband.
