I stayed home from work today as I work up feeling sick. Not related to Dukan at all, just cramps and tired. I called in and told J to pass that along to our boss for me and I went back to bed. When I woke up again, I weighed myself. Day Two found me -2.6 and today, I was down another 2, for a total 3 day loss of -4.6 for those of you a little weak in the math area :)
I have been on track today - I made some chicken sausage and egg for a late brunch, and then low sodium bacon for a snack. I have been drinking mostly diet coke and non fat milk though so far, so it is time to switch to ice water.
Planning on having some grilled pork tenderloin for dinner, with a side of ice water.

Filet My Friend
Stopped at Costco and bought some filet mignon. So much more yummy than the fat free cream cheese :-)

I Don't Like Fat Free Cream Cheese
Maybe I am being a baby and not appreciating the whole flavor of the smoked turkey, but I am having a really rough time pretending to enjoy the afternoon snack of smoked turkey and fat free cream cheese. Bleh!

Day 1....
I went shopping late last night to get ready for day numero uno. I didn't really fill my shopping cart the way I had expected to. I am just starting this journey out simply, until I get the hang of it. I woke up this morning needing my coffee and french vanilla creamer. But I skipped it and went for a glass of ice water. Here was my eating for day 1:
Breakfast:
sweet oat bran pancake
few slices of already cooked low sodium bacon
Lunch:
3 low fat kosher hot dogs
Snack:
Smoked turkey breast with fat free cream cheese
Dinner:
chicken sausage with mustard dipping sauce
Throw in a bunch more water and a few diet cokes, and that rounds out my day. I had an ortho appointment for my knee today and had to get a shot, so not sure that I can do my walking tomorrow, but I feel good. Hoping to another successful day tomorrow on day two. Not sure I can refrain from weighing myself in the morning :)

T-Minus Three Days
My lovely friend B at work turned me on to a diet called the Dukan Diet. I had never heard of this until we went out to lunch to discuss..... yes, over steaming plates of lovely pasta with chicken and white sauce, we discussed a this French diet I had never heard of. One my best friends, J, joined us as well to hear all about this diet we would be going on.
B came prepared with a hard backed book and excitement. She hadn't yet read the entire book, but had read enough to give us an overview of the diet and eating plan, and to tell us we needed to go and figure out what our true weight is on http://www.dukandiet.com. After lunch J and I rushed back to figure out what the heck that meant.
After reading over the information and putting in my stats, I would be on the Attack phase for 5 days, Cruise phase for 275 days, and the Consolidation phase for 393 days. Ahhhhh the consolidation phase, That is my nemesis. While I can do a diet and stick to it every time, and be highly successful, it is the end of the diet and going back to regular eating that kills me each and every time. I do believe though, with more accountability, and with the realization that I am 37 and severely overweight that maybe it is time for me to put on my big girl pants and start staying focused on the big picture. My life.
