Dukan Do It....

[dukannotsofatty]

thanks trudy, I know its prob the tw showing, I'm ok with the pound. i just need to start telling myself that a pound is what it will be from now on, I just hope I can reach my goal by 17th June...thats my year deadline, which is 15 weeks. at a 1lb a week I'll be another stone down but still not at TW I want to be. Ah well, time will tell eh?

Thanks re the menu's. I will be reducing my eggs from now on. Am setting myself a limit of 5 a day, it'll save on the money too LOL. I buy 30 a week as it is, and thats just for me. Todays have only been 3.

I used a recipe today for Dukan bread I haven't used in months. I only stopped using it because i wanted to have muffins and the mug cake recipe was adaptable. I am quite pleased with the old recipe so will have to see if I can adapt it to have half as bread and half as a muffin. Its made in the microwave so only takes 3mins to make.

Fab news on your daughter Karin, I did read your post the other day before the internet police came in & took the bloody Ipad off me so I couldn't comment.

This hun, although ours is an older version so doesn't look quite as posh. We bought it cos hubby used it in physio when recovereing from an op. It has toning, massaging, fat burning workouts. You do different stances etc and it tones up. I don't use it as often as I should really, need to do it every other day really.

Aw thanks hun. I guess my willpower stems from the fact i was so unhappy overweight, at 18st I was the heaviest I have ever ever been, I hated myself, seriously hated me. Losing 5 stone has changed my life, from bending to put shoes on, sitting cross legged, walking straighter, and oh lots more. I never ever want to go back to that again, I WILL NEVER go back to that again. Having lost soo much I really want to get into the 11s. I don't care how long it takes (although June would be nice LOL). I love the idea that I can go in practically any store anywhere now and buy something off the rails. Instead of plus size only, or having to walk past the shop cos it doesn't sell me size. I want to be in the next size down from where I am now and be the lowest I have been in twenty years.

I am PROUD of ME!!! I just get frustrated when it doesn't quite happen as I want it to.

Down ¼lb this morning,

Food for the day

Bf: Porridge and yogurt as usual LOL
Ln: ½ Microwave Dukan Bread with fried egg (sooo yum) and two sausages with mustard / ½ MW Dukan Muffin
Te: Mince Kebab with Cottage Cheese mix / Jelly n yogurt
Su: Tails and cheesecake (am oggling a bag of french fries, well mock bag)

Fluid: 7.5drinks 1750ml
Exercise: 8min walk and clearing loft (bending/stretching)


Those crisps are winking at me LOL, its a small bag, calorie wise its 67cals so that should give an idea of how big it is. I've not opened them yet, and am only part way tempted, but I'm confessing now just in case

 

[dukannotsofatty]

FYI - I put the crisps back........YAY ME!!!!

 

[Dukan2013]

Yey well done crisps are evil and should be banished! Lol! X

 

[trudyc]

Well done Karin -I thought I posted a telling off about the crisps last night but I must have imagined it so glad they went back in the cupboard - defo not worth it!!! Have a great Dukan day xxxxx

 

[sarafvrm]

Ah... in that case I think buzzy toning is the same as Pauline's wobbling/vibrating!

I love your passion about your weight loss and its effects on you. No wonder you had the willpower to resist the French fries - your resistance muscle is getting stronger by the day. x

 

[sididd]

Fantastic Karin xxxxxx newbies will be so motivated by your will power and enthusiasm......and ME xxx

 

[Jojo25]

Well done for resisting the crisps I've banned anything tempting in the house x

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Thank you everyone. I felt quite good about it, even when I was typing about them being on my desk I already kind of knew I was going to put them back, I just really really wanted them LOL.

We always have crisps and sweets in the house, cos obviously DH and DD not on the diet and its not fair for them to miss out. They also eat a tonne of fruit, which I also miss. Never think of cheating with an apple LOL, daft eh.

thanks for your comments about my willpower. I don't know where it comes from, its never been that strong before, but then I guess losing 5st kind of does that. I am so determined to reach my goal and even with the odd cheat I don't let it control me and lose control. Christmas was bad enough and it took me a long time to make up for that, I could have been so much closer now if i hadn't lost control.

I do believe as I said before that a little kick can give your body a jump start, but I don't want to kick too much too often. Once a week is more than ample. If I'd only been on this journey a few months it might have been treat free, but 9months on its hard to be totally treat free.

On a plus though, my lent promise is holding strong as well, I haven't had one single SF sweet since Ash Wednesday.

Had a bad case of whoosh tonight, had to run to loo twice and tummy brewing again. Don't know if its something I've eaten or the lurgy. Only thing different tonight is that I made the floating islands pudding. Loved the custard bit, not massive fan of the whites, although I would make them again. Might try the custard and freeze it for ice cream like someone else did....sorry can't rem who now.

Food today:

Bf - Porridge/Rhubarb - Yogurt
Ln - Omlette rolls with Beef and Watercress filling - Dukan Cake dipped in yogurt.
Te - Salmon Quiche with Massive Watercress Salad - Jelly n Yogurt
Sp - Floating Island pudding.

Fluids 7 drinks so 1750ml

Exercise, it rained so didn't get out, I had planned to do some runs up and down the stairs but my tum too tender. I promise to go for a walk tomorrow, I really don't want to miss out. Determined to do at least three walks this week.

 

[trudyc]

I bought ingredients to make the custard too and freeze it - think I am gonna pour them into my silicone moulds so that they are individual portions!!! Didn't splash out on vanilla pod but was v tempted!!! LOL! Love reading you ATM Karin you doing sooooo great....... x

Thanks hun. I feel great LOL.

I didn't have the vanilla pod but the rest I always have in anyway. I just used vanilla flavouring. I added the sweetner whilst it was cooking not at the end.

I actualy saved this recipe right back in June at the begnining of the diet but never made it, then forgot about it, until now LOL

 

[sididd]

I was going to say the same Trudy,,,,,,, Karin love reading your diary your keeping me motivated Thanks xxx

mm love custard im making a roulade (could be dukan friendly) at the weekend the frozen custard would be lovely with it , bit like artic roll!!

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Aww Sid & T, you're both giving me a lift. I don't see the losses and I do get down with it, but then I stick to another good day and think, this week is a good week. Any day without a fail is a good day. Any loss is a good loss. I know that.

Hmm col that sounds yum, the custard didn't work for me, but I think I know where i went wrong. I'll give it another go. Roulade sounds nice.

Just needed a sweet fix, so I made an egg/quark pudding. Added skim milk powder to it so it thickens it up, smeared rhubarb on it and YUM.

Got a very bloated belly, not had anything different and I don't think its the diet. I had a new c fitted two weeks ago and I was warned that bloating could be a side effect. Just feel bleh with it, hot water bottle should help, and a drink of water LOL.

Food today

Bf As usual
Ln Turkey Burger Sandwich (all home made) Muffin with lemon curd as a spread, and rhubarb to fill.
Te Seafood mix, lettuce leaves and veggies with frai dip...made lettuce cups. jelly and yogurt.
Sp Egg Pudding

8 drinks so 2ltrs

 

[dukannotsofatty]

This week I stopped the toning exercises I had been doing every morning and night, something I'd read had made me stop for now, anyway, this week has seen a return to a small loss each day and if the next two days even stay the same its a good week. Maybe my plateau is over.....blooming hope so LOL

Belly keeps bloating up and I feel uncomfortable, I think it is definately the C making it happen as I don't normally bloat at this time of month unless its SF sweets LOL.

Dukan food today:

Bf the usual
Ln Boiled Eggs and Dukan Toast with a bit of lemon curd on a couple of pieces.
Te Beef (not sure what yet) prawns in cottage cheese and Jelly n Yogurt.
Sp No idea, hopefully won't need anything.

Fluids so far its been 6 drinks so 1.5ltrs but still got meals to drink with yet.


I did some dancing this morning, well I say dancing, my daughters dance class is run by a friend and I help her with the money and registers. I decided to put my sports trousers on and join in today. Quite enjoyed it, but it wasn't prolonged.

I am not doing too good with the exercise at the moment, I manage to get a single walk in the week and remember maybe twice to do the vibroplate, ah well i guess a little is better than the nothing I did before.

Have to agree with T & Sidd loving your posts. You've come a very long way & it's lovely reading how you are changing

Happy Mother's Day xxxxxx
