Exercise this past week: mostly just walking.  I need to do kettlebell swings & pushups again

The whole week the scale wasn't moving down but over the weekend, I got some better news.    Still grain/dairy free (except for the 2 beers I had).  I have had fruit (peaches) a few times this week, which has fiber and helps keep me away from sweets.  I don't have a peach every day, just as a treat when I'm craving something more.  I think I had 2 this week, and some prunes yesterday.

Dukan/Primal Summer/Fall 2013 Week 3

Days 15-21
Weight: 146.5lb (66.45kg, 10.46st)
Loss: 3.25lbs (1.36kg, .21st) for the week
Total lost post-vacation: 9.25lb (4.20kg, .66st)
Total lost since 3/2011: 11.50lb (5.22kg, .82st)
Average weight this past week: 147.68lb
Average weight the week before:150.251lb
Milestones:  below 10.5st

Exercise this past week: kettlebell swings 3x, pushups 2x, walking

This is the lowest I've been all year!  I did get down to 146lb on Sunday morning, but since I bounced back up, I'll go with the 146.5.  After all, 9lb in three weeks is still a great number!  I am very happy with how this is going.  Decreasing my lunch portion has really been working for me.  I continued to have no grains/no dairy.  The plumbing isn't working as well as it could, I had some blueberries for lunch yesterday, hopefully that will help.  I will do the same at today's lunch, and will have a beer tonight to move things.  I think I will start taking some psyllium husk every morning or at least several times a week, I know I'm not getting enough fiber.

Post-vacation recap

I got back from my vacation on Monday, July 29th, and on Tuesday my official weigh-in was 155.75lb!  Eek. I haven't been strictly following Dukan, more like a Paleo diet, but I did decide to cut down my portions.  Weekdays, for breakfast I have scrambled eggs and a pork link or bacon.  For lunch, I have a cup of goat's milk yogurt.  That's it until dinner, when I have veggies (frequently 3 carrots) and protein.  Sometimes I have a yogurt also.  This has resulted in a 7.25lb weight loss in 2.5 weeks!  I am very happy!  I have had no wheat or dairy since I got back, only a beer once or twice a week, which believe it or not is medicinal, it seems to help with a bladder issue.  I have been doing kettlebell swings with my home-made kettlebell, anywhere from 10-20 in the morning before I leave for work.  I have been walking some, but haven't had a really long walk in over a week.  I will try to post more frequently, and keep you all up to date on how I am doing.
