Monday was a PP day 🙂
Daily Weight Loss: 0.0 lb & kg
Total Weight Loss: 53.7 lb/24.41 kg
So no change on the scale which is fine by me… staying the same is better than gain! Back to work today and don’t feel like I had a weekend off. Because of a schedule change I had 1/2 day Friday, worked Saturday and off on Sunday… but I had running around to do, so after the massage I was off to the mall and didn’t get back until nearly 6 p.m…. then my next day off is Friday!!! Anywho… it was a nice day at work. Got 3 policies written and edited and sent off to Kitty for translation, so I feel accomplished 😀
Breakfast: You got it… 2 tea eggs
Lunch: Beef slices with cilantro and garlic stems and a bowl of CHICKEN SOUP… oh my gosh was it yummy and oily… LOL I left the carrots and ate the rest. The broth was so good!
Chicken Soup from the halal restaurant
Dinner: Stir fried sirloin with onions and garlic stems and I threw in 1/8 cup of low-fat mozzarella… it was kind of like having a philly cheese steak w/o the bread!
Snack: FF Greek Yogurt with Splenda and bran
All in all a good day. A couple things in there that may have influenced my lack of scale movement, but I’m not worried. I drank 1.5 liters of water and walked to and from work (a mile each way). The best part of the day was getting a picture from Danee Daniels with her and my niece Charity in it… I have no idea where they were or what they were doing, but they were together (with Dana, as well) and those have to be 3 of my favorite midwives in the world 😀 Thanks for posting, Danee!
Danee and Charity... hanging with Dana 🙂
Ciao!

Today was a PV day.
Daily weight loss: +0.9 lb/+0.4 kg
Total weight loss: 29.5 lb/13.41 kg
Well, a little disappointed that I gained nearly a pound, but knew it had to happen at some point! I woke up sore as hell from my first workout in 3 years! Actually almost to the day… But a good sore. A “oh wow, I forgot about THOSE muscles” sore. I work out again tomorrow 🙂
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs
Snack: FF cottage cheese
Lunch: Tuna with an egg mashed up and Dijon mustard
Dinner: 2 small pork chops, salad, mushrooms and garlic stems
I ate dinner late and didn’t get my walk in after dinner. I did walk the 1.5 km to work and back, for a total of 3 km and 40 or so mins walking at a brisk pace.
I hope everyone has a blessed day!
Ciao!
Today was a PP Day.
Daily Weight Loss: 0.9 lb/0.40 kg
Total Wight Loss: 30.4 lb/13.81 kg
30 pounds!!! I couldn’t be more pleased! This program is really working for me!
Just a little bit about my daily routine. I work 0.9 miles (1.5 kms) from where I live. Every single morning for the last couple of weeks I’ve walked to and from work. I’ve been doing a brisk walk, getting my heart rate into the 140’s.
This morning I started a thrice weekly cardio/core body class… at 630 a.m.!!! So, I got up, went to class, was able to do about 40% of the stuff in the class and then walked home, listening to the soundtrack of GI Jane. Demi inspires me 🙂
I’m giving a lecture this afternoon, so I’ll walk back to work and home again. Nearly 4 miles of walking + a cardio/core workout… Hope my body doesn’t get mad at me!
What have YOU done for exercise this week?
Ciao!
Well I found out a lot about myself these past 2 days… I really don’t like plain yogurt, I really, really don’t like non-fat plain yogurt, fromage frais tastes the same as non-fat plain yogurt, but… I can eat it if it means losing 7 pounds in 4 days!!!
Today’s menu included eggs, more eggs and even more eggs… LOL. It also included a oat bran pancake (Dukan gallette), Luc Lac Beef… which after marinating all night in garlic, fresh ginger, soy sauce and oyster sauce was DELISH! I had non-fat yogurt mixed in with the juices from the marinade and TONS of water.
Tonight I had 2 small sirloin steaks, stir fried in a teeny amt of vegetable oil and with onions and garlic thrown in at the last minute… I am STUFFED!
One thing I have noticed is that I am not having any upper abdominal bloating and discomfort since I am not consuming any gluten products. So, even though I’m stuffed, I’m not uncomfortable.
I consumed more than 1.5 liters of water today in addition to 2 diet cokes, a cup of coffee and a cup of Earl Gray tea. I can’t believe I’m actually drinking as much water as I am! It’s been tough for me to adhere to drinking water rules in the past, the result is hourly trips to the bathroom, but I realize this means I’m flushing bad stuff out!
So that’s the end of Day 2 of the Attack Phase of the Dukan program. I’m feeling great! Now I’m off for a nice 20 minute walk…
Wow… I got through Day 1 of the Attack Phase and I ate so much food I thought I would burst! I didn’t even eat all of the food prescribed!
Breakfast:
2 eggs, pot of yogurt, coffee
Mid-Morning snack:
1 egg, Dukan mayo, 1/2 liter of water
Lunch:
Pepper steak (with yummy gravy made with the Dukan mayo… no carbs or fat!), 1/2 liter of water.
Mid-Afternoon snack:
Pot of yogurt, diet coke, water
Dinner:
Fresh baked fish (yummy, even if the head was still on!), some yogurt with fresh lime squeezed on it, a Dukan oat bran pancake (not too impressed, but gotta do it!).
Watched Blackballs (a British comedy) while eating dinner, then did my prescribed 20 minutes fast walk. Came back, drank lots of water, now writing my blog.
A couple things… 1. Lucy wants me to make sure I give her credit for finding the Dukan Diet book… LOL. She is the one who told me about it, so I’m giving credit where credit is due! and 2. I want to thank all of you for the support you are giving me. There are a couple of really good reasons to surround yourself with support… it makes you feel good to have people rooting for you AND it lends to accountability. Thanks for following me on this journey!
Peace!
Wt loss from 1st weigh on 8/19/11 to 8/22/11 = 3.5 pounds (that’s before starting the program!) I’ll check in tomorrow night with the first official weigh in of the program!
