WHOOSH! What did I tell ya? I did a little jig on the scales this morning – you know the one. You’ve all done it at one p0int or another, right?
Now, I had hummous today. Technically, this is a transgression. However, it was a teeeeeeensy tiny tub, low fat, and contains less carbs than my celery (granted, the net carbs are probably higher) … OK, I just did the math on my carb intake for the day. Rough estimate (and overestimating probably) I count 37-40g of carbs today – with a whopping 12g of this from my two cups of tea and the cup of coffee, plus the milk in my oatbran porridge. I’m thinking about cutting things down to one cup of coffee per day, and drinking oolong or jasmine tea the rest of the day. If I’d done this today, I’d have been below the 30g of carbs per day recommended for ketogenic diets.
Now that I’m almost 2 weeks into my transgression-free run, it’s amazing how much more seriously I’m taking this whole thing. It just goes to show how much of an All-Or-Nothing kinda gal I am.
However. The Holiday is approaching – just another 10 days to go before I’m sitting on a beach on the Red Sea, sipping cocktails and ignoring everything Dukan ever said. For one week. I expect to have to re-de-tox (is that a word?) on my return, because my god I’m looking forward to those cocktails, all of which are included in our All Inclusive package. Don’t hate me if I come back with a few extra pounds…
