Dukan – Day 248 – I DID IT :)

Posted on April 22, 2012 by flamidwyfe

Sunday was PV (Protein/Veggie) Day 😀

Daily Weight Loss: 0.9 lb/0.44 kg
Total Weight Loss: 90.2 lbs/41.01 kgs

So in 8 months and 3 days I’ve reached Dr. Dukan’s True Weight for me.
I also COMPLETED COUCH 2 5 K last night. So I reached TWO goals in less than 12 hours! 😀 😀 😀 😀

Breakfast: Bacon and egg omelet with bran
Lunch: Green salad with grilled chicken breast
Dinner: Ground beef, onions and mushrooms cooked Vietnamese lemongrass sauce. YUM!

Exercise:
2.15 mile mountain hike in the morning
3.11 mile run in the evening

I wanted to upload a couple pics, but the internet here in China is NOT cooperating 😦 I’ll see if I can upload them directly from my iPhone…

Bigger and better update coming soon with lots of before and after pics from the past year… should be fun!

Ciao!

Quote of the day: I’m determined to not die with millions in the bank, but memories in my heart! ~ Sandi Blankenship, in response to MJ 🙂

Pic I couldn’t upload earlier…

Dr. Dukan's True Weight met 🙂 I'm going 4.5 kgs less (10 pounds), as my own goal, but reaching this... AWESOME!

Ok Sandi I got a problem here… I don’t want to hit the ‘like’ button….I’m looking for the LOVE IT button 🙂
WOOOOO YOU!!! What a way to rock the Dukan, rock the Dukan. Total weight loss of 90.4# AMAZING. I never doubted you would get there and feel a real sense of joy for you as well as awe for the blessing of watching it happen right before my very eyes. Not some smoke and mirrors before/after pic trying to sell snake oil. I am SO proud of you 🙂 So doubt the C25K was instrumental in your acheiving this goal as well… What a powerful reminder to us all that where we put our attention makes ALL the difference!
XOXO

Great job! My weight loss seems to have slowed down although I haven’t cheated. My only thought is the exercise piece. I have but not as much or as intensely as I think I should be. You seem to exercise a lot and lose pretty much every day and that’s definitely what I am looking for.

  Hi Sherri! I do all the MUSTS everyday…
  You MUST weigh yourself everyday
  You MUST drink a minimum of 1.5 liters of water each day (the more you drink, the more you lose)
  You MUST exercise, even just walk for 30 minutes a day
  You MUST take 2 Tbs of bran per day
  
  I find if you leave out just one of the MUSTS it throws everything off.
  
  I bet if you just made sure you get a 30 minute walk in each day, the weight would slide off!
