Day 3-5
Current Weight: 174.0 lbs Lost yesterday: 2.2 lbs
Total Lost: 5.2lbs
So got through my first weekend. Of course there was a family BBQ this weekend, and literally, 4 varieties of pie. I thought ahead and brought a fruit tray, even if that isn't on the Dukan I still feel it is much more sensible then just dabbling into a piece of pie.
If any of you followed me on the Dukan last time, you will know I have a little problem with candy. I came to the awful realization that in moderation, it doesn't cause your weight to fluctuate so sometimes I can binge a bit. I did have more than I anticipated but overall I don't think it negatively impacted my results.
I did have a very small serving of salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, but otherwise have been pretty good with sticking to just protein.
I will start introducing vegetables in likely tomorrow, and see how this goes.
I still have 44lbs to go to my goal weight...this is going to be a long road this time.

Day 2
Current Weight: 176.2 lbs Lost yesterday: 1.4 lbs
Total Lost: 3lbs
Breakfast:
-1/2 container of Vanilla Silhouette Fat Free Yogurt & 2 tsp of Oats
Lunch:
-Chicken Breast
Dinner:
-Steak
Beverages:
-1 Iced Coffee
I feel pretty crappy today, but this is normal. Between always having water handy & munching on some tic tacs, I am doing fairly well with my eating. The attack phase of only eating protein and no vegetables yet really sucks. Its very bland, in a time when your body is like what is going on, feed me!
I have to go out for dinner with friends this evening, so I am going to have to have vegetables, will likely have a salad, but think I can make a good enough choice that I shouldn't mess anything up too much.
My 3lbs down is no surprise, I will be excited once I get into the double digits because I know that's when the 'for real' weight loss starts!

Day 1
Current Weight: 177.6 lbs Lost yesterday: 1.6 lbs
Total Lost: 1.6lbs
Breakfast:
-1/2 container of Vanilla Silhouette Fat Free Yogurt & 2 tsp of Oats
Lunch:
-Chicken Breast
Dinner:
-Chicken Breast
Beverages:
-1 Iced Coffee
-1 Green Tea
Wow what a variety of foods yesterday...not. Oddly I wasn't too hungry throughout the day, I thought it would be worse considering my stomache is now in the shrinking phase so not used to such little food. About 4pm I wasn't feeling so hot, but once I had dinner I felt okay again.
The first two weeks are always the worst. Sometimes you forget you are doing this and go to pick at food, sometimes you could eat your arm off just for a little more variety, but after week 2 it is smooth sailing. These foods become routine and the way you feel counter acts all thoughts of other food.
I am not surprised with the 1.6lbs of weight loss yesterday, the first few days are a lot of water weight, so the first week feels amazing cause you are losing like a pound a day, but I know those numbers don't hold up and will start slowing down next week.
In all honesty though, I am guessing it is from how little I ate yesterday but my stomache felt flatter this morning. These are the feelings I love about the Dukan because its so consistent and you really see a difference, everyday.
Today I have a bunch of errands to run which should help me keep my mind off the fact that I can't stop for a lemon poppyseed loaf or muffin with my coffee.

Here we go again...
Well I am ashamed to say it but shit got bad.
It has been a long long time since I posted last & a lot has changed in my life. It was almost 4 years ago to the day that I posted for the first time in this blog. I thought I was at rock bottom then, but here I am, this is rock bottom. I weigh almost 20lbs more then when I started last time, so this journey is going to be a much longer process, and I have no one to blame but myself.
For starters, it has nothing to do with the rebound of dieting - the transitioning back onto normal foods and gaining double the weight. I held the weight off for almost 3 years, leading a normal life, and then 2013 happened.
2013 started off with a major life-altering surgery, followed by a nightmare house experience, piled on with an insane work load & then ending with the death of someone near and dear. Before I knew it I was mentally fragile, and I took comfort in food. My job is not easy - I work crazy hours, a lot of driving and a lot of drive thrus. Instead of smart choices, there was a lot of fries, burgers, bagels & all those delicious things. You gain 20lbs and then another 10, and you sort of give up and figure what's another 10 more.
So here we go again....
My goal is to be down into the 130's again by end of October. Let's check out these mortifying stats to start this off
STATS
Weight: 179.2 lbs
Thigh: 25 Inches
Hips: 44 Inches
Waist: 38 Inches
Chest: 41.5 Inches
Arm: 12.5 Inches
Neck: 14.5 Inches
I am off now to get back into the routine. I will consume my first bowl of yogurt & oats, and start the attack phase of The Dukan Diet. My goal is to make it to at least Monday on just protein.
Follow along & encourage me this go around - I am going to need it!
