    Weight Loss Update

    27th May 2016 /

    I’m still on my plan, no carbs or sugar, Monday to Friday…. to date, I’ve lost 21lbs. I had my cheat days last week for the BloggerConference at the Marker hotel, where we enjoyed a gorgeous lunch and a ‘coffee and brownies’ networking break…  And then we had a BBQ the next day, where I popped the cork on that bottle of Cliquot that was giving me lustful looks in the fridge all week, I definitely taught that bottle a lesson! There is however….another one left. Monday Morning I weighed myself and I had gained 4lb!! My heart almost stopped with the flight! 4lb in 2 days! But, by Monday…

    My success with the Dukan Diet|HOW to do ‘The Dukan’ successfully.

    19th May 2016 /

    Well, the good news, it that I’ve lost over a stone and a half (21lbs), on my quest to trim up. I feel a million dollars now and people are really starting to notice, the buzz is absolutely great and slightly addictive. Celebrity fans include Jennifer Lopez, The Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton), Giselle Bundchen. A few of my readers have asked me to go into “HOW?” a bit more, some of you have bought the Dukan diet book and can’t get your head around it, so I said I would elaborate on it and give an example of my diet week. It’s really not hard once you get…

    Weight Loss: The mental switch to make it happen and the perpetual struggle, on a personal level.

    11th May 2016 /

    A few months ago I posted a self motivational post on the blog Facebook page, I’d decided to start losing weight again. I have posted in the past and about my diet of choice, The Dukan Diet, a ketogenic diet based around French cooking.  I am a self confessed carb’  lover and Italian food makes me want to weep at the thought, I love it! Bread, pasta, PIZZA even… How do Italian women stay so thin?!!! I was bullied in school for my weight too,I went to school in Galway and little did my classmates know, I had almost died one year from an issue caused by my thyroid and…
