Dukan Diet Second Round -- Cruise Phase Week 4 Thurs-Tuesday

Day 30-35 (October 20-25, 2011)
Weight: 140-143lb
Change: I gained air/water


So, once gain I haven't been too good at keeping to the diet. Most days in the past week I've had carbs, whether healthy (oat crackers, apple), or unhealthy (candy corn!).  I ended up having wheat and dairy on Sunday evening/Monday.  Most of the weight gain is air, and yesterday I had a lot of salty foods, so water retention is a culprit today!  I'm going to look at this as more of a cruise/consolidation phase, as for some reason I'm having trouble focusing on the strict diet.  As long as I'm not gaining and staying at 140 or so I'm going to have to be satisfied.  I will start my P90X again in late November, and that will help me stay on the diet for that last push of getting into and staying at the mid 130's.

Yesterday I had chicken w/rice from a Halal truck, so that was my carb

Dukan Diet Second Round -- Cruise Week 4 Wednesday

Day 29 (October 19, 2011)
Weight: 139lb (63.18kg, 9.93st)
Change: no change
Lost Sept 20-today: 3.5lb
Total lost since February: 19lb (8.64kg, 1.36st)
Milestone (again): below 10st, lost 19lb

Still seeing a 13...  No change is no surprise given the oat cakes I had yesterday.  HOWEVER, I just wanted to mention that my measurements are shrinking.  My underbust is now at an all-time low of 29.75, bust is 36, which means my two 30F/FF bras aren't feeling too tight anymore.  I'm going to have to get some more 30's, as 32 on its tightest hook is not feeling very supportive.

1.25 e.w. protein powder
Colonix
Pork roast
Rutabaga
Yogurt
Almonds

Can't remember what I had for dinner, sorry!

Dropped .5 after having those chocolate oat cakes!  No more chocolate though, I'm getting an allergic rash on my wrist.  OK, I shouldn't have had oat cakes today either, but I don't think I'm going too high calorie wise... As long as I see a 13 at the beginning of my weight!

Curried chicken salad (had some raisins in it)

I tried some Nairn's oat cakes w/chocolate.  These were lightly sweetened (4g of sugar per cake/cookie).  They're enough to be a mild treat, but not if you're really trying to eat a cookie.  A good "cheat food" that's not going to do much damage.

2 small glasses of white wine
Manchego cheese
Salmon steak - delicious!
2 small packets of candy corn (you know, those Halloween treat sized packets, about 10 pieces in each)

1.25 e.w. protein powder
Colonix
Yogurt
Almonds
Progresso can of Beef Barley soup (gluten/dairy free)

Weight: 142lb
Change: gained 2.5lb
Lost Sept 20-today: -1lb
Total lost since February: 15lb

Once again not behaving.  I didn't have wheat this weekend, but I had lots of spelt toast, and I got bloated anyway.  I also had dairy and other forbidden foods (a Coke). 

Friday I think I had the usual foods

This is what I remember:

Saturday I had 4 pieces of toast w/margarine, a Coke.  We got the new TV, it's fabulous, and slid into the space we had for it with .5cm to spare!  Dinner I had a ham omelette, then almost a 1/2 bottle of red wine.  I was sorry on Sunday though!

Sunday I had I think 6 pieces of toast w/margarine for breakfast.  I also had one whole bag of reduced fat potato chips.  Dinner was chicken breast strips w/yogurt curry sauce & butternut squash.

Monday I worked OT, for lunch I had chinese, Chicken w/mixed veggies & brown rice.  Dinner was 2 white turkey hot dogs w/mustard.

I'm hoping some of the extra poundage is water from lots of sodium.

Dukan Diet Second Round -- Cruise Phase Week 2-Week 3 Thursday

Weight: 140.5lb (63.86kg, 10.04st)
Change: gained .5lb
Lost Sept 20-today: 2lb
Total lost since February: 17.5lb, 7.95kg, 1.25st

Well, I haven't been very good with the diet.  I went crazy over the weekend (intentionally), had lots of wheat (croissant w/marmelade, english muffins, toast) and dairy.  I puffed up to 144 by Monday when I went back off my dietary foes and had a PP day, and now I'm down to 140.5 again.  Yay!  I did have a rye round yesterday evening when I discovered that the carrots I was planning to eat had gone bad...

Exercise hasn't been very good, but I did manage a long walk yesterday.  I like the fact that I'm still stable at 140, just have to keep strict for a few weeks!

Today I've had:

1.25 e.w. protein powder
Chimichurri flank steak (yummy!)
Spaghetti squash

I'm also going to have:
Yogurt
Almonds

Not sure what I'll have for dinner yet, I'll report on that tomorrow.

1.25 e.w. protein powder
Pork loin
Red cabbage (something to do with apples as well)
Sweet potatoes (I think there was some honey involved)

I no longer remember what I had, it's been a week...
