Day 25, 26, 27 & 28 - The Dukan Diet

Current Weight: 146.0 lbs           Lost this long-weekend: 0.00000 lbs
Total Lost: 14.2 lbs


*sigh*....what a long-weekend, and as you can see, not fantastic numbers.  A whole lotta zero's. 

I had a major transgression this weekend.  On Sunday, we hosted a BBQ.  With chips, nuts & spinach dip, I thought I was going to buckle and just stuff my face, but I withheld.  Then it happened. I was alone, with a vanilla cake in my kitchen & I ate a small sliver, then after that sliver, I couldn't stop and ate about an 2 inch slice.  Oh man it was sooooooo good & I almost think it was worth not losing a single pound this weekend just to taste that cake.  The only issue with the cake thing, was I went into the rest of the night thinking "well I already cheated, so what's a little fruit?", so I started with the watermelon, then the cantaloupe then the honeydew melon.  I have to say, I didn't even touch anything 'bad', besides the cake, which impressed me, but after some binging on fruit & that amazing piece of cake, I didn't even bother weighing myself Monday morning. 

This morning stepped onto the scale, and to no surprise, I had lost no weight...the good news, I didn't gain any weight & I actually feel 'skinnier' today, then I had all weekend, so I am getting back on track.

I don't know about you, but I have this one roll of fat on my stomache.  It sits right under my chest, and is only about an inch thick, but it is not my favourite part of my upper body.  This morning, I looked in the mirror, and it is actually disappearing.  I really have to 'bend' to get that roll to appear & even my belly feels like it is disappearing.  Despite having not lost a pound, I am feeling fantastic in terms of my weight.  Clothes fit amazing, I wore a 'small' t-shirt this weekend & not like 'small from a ladies store', like small from a young womens store, so it is a legitimate small.  Loved it.

Today I hope to do a lot better.  I have made my lunch & tonight I am going to make sure I have a whole bunch of asparagus with my dinner to try & combat the 146.0lb mark.   Unfortunately I am feeling a little under the weather today.  My throat is sore & I am just tired after such a busy weekend.  I literally drank 1L of water on my 40 minute drive to work today, yikes.  The good thing is, I am not retaining it I don't think because I have already gone to the bathroom twice.  One weird thing that "brain" the blogger guy I followed spoke of last week, was the nightly dry-mouth.  Like there is a serious lack of saliva.  I am not sure what it is from, and at first, I thought it was just me, but he mentioned it last week & I am happy to hear that other people are experiencing the dry-mouth in the middle of the night.  I have a glass of water by my bed, but it at least wakes me up once a night.  This could be effecting my throat, I am not sure, hopefully a good nights sleep tonight will have me feeling as good as I am looking :)

Hopefully I have better numbers to share tomorrow, that is if I can resist the left-over cake sitting in my kitchen right now.  UGH!
