Dukan Do It....

½lb off this morning. worked in school today which I enjoyed as I was with the older children for a change, helping the lead. The day passed quite quickly really.

Had a visit from a good friend tonight and we put the worlds to right LOL, with a couple of coffees......good girls we are!!!

Seafood quiche for tea, and beef and eggs for lunch. I made a simple egg pudding for supper as I found I was hungry. Egg and quark beaten up with tablespoon of milk powder, sweetner and flavouring. Microwave for a couple of minutes and add greek yogurt. Yum!!
 
Wow its quiet on the boards, hope everyone is ok.

I put 1lb on yesterday morning, up down again, so have decided not to get weighed until Monday. I'm taking water tablets for the water retention, and am going to try to drink a bit more water and reduce the dairy this week. Time is going so quickly and I still have that last stone to move, in the last month I have only really lost a couple of pounds, I really wish I'd waited before sorting with GP, but hey ho, not much I can do about it.

Two months today is my deadline, starting to get frustrated with it. Nothing I can do about it though.

Right, got banking to do, DD clothes to sort, and a few other jobs. Parents Evening today at school, not expecting anything untoward as DD is a very clever intelligent little girl, only thing is the teacher they have has only been there for two weeks, so I really don't know what she's going to be able to tell us about that last 8 months!!!! We'll see i guess.
 
Your doing great Karin xxx it always slows down the nearer you get xxx DD is doing fabulous xxx she will live it at big school xxx
 
Wow 2 months to go !!! Hadn't that just flown by. Loved catching up on your diary xx
 
Thanks all, yes P it is ONLY TWO MONTHS TILL DEADLINE.... haha, it'll be a year since I started and want to reach TW by that date.


Daughters open evening report was brilliant with a capital B, she is so clever and the new teacher is very impressed with her, she said that DD had made her feel welcome and helped her loads. She is a 5B across the board in every subject (thats usually High School kids level) so she is well ahead of herself. And is top in the class, yes I am blowing trumpets, and after asking DD about the other two children that are the clever ones in the class, she says her levels are higher. We very very very proud. Oooo my clever baby girl.

She wants to be a vet when she leaves school, she's on the right track straight away.

I was a very good girl tonight, because of the good report we let DD choose food for tea and she wanted a pizza. Hubby got a calzone and when it arrived they had sent a free garlic bread. I lifted the box and oggled it, but closed the lid and made myself my chicken korma for tea, with jelly and yog for pudding. Very proud of myself.
 
And im very proud of you xxx well done, ?That's took some willpower xxx DD deserved that and blow that trumpet......
 
I enjoy reading your diary! As for finding that garlic bread and simply closing the box, I'd probably have told myself "oh well it's not my fault". I'm learning lots reading your diaries and your coping mechanisms.
As the girls say, yes it does slow down nearer target weight, and water fluctuations are infuriating which is why, for people like us who retain water, a once a week weigh in is best. (I'll have to start following my own advice and stop jumping on the darned things each morning now that my "easy" weight has been lost for the 577th time!).

LOL Joanne, its so hard to stay away from the scales isn't it, I must admit i got weighed on tuesday morning and I've actually managed to go three days without getting on them, but am so tempted tomorrow......but i think, if its a loss and then come monday its not, I will be devastated :) so i think i may just steer clear till monday.

I'll be on top of the moon sara once i get there.

As for the garlic bread...........well its still there. DD had some more tonight and will prob have the last bit tomorrow. because I didn't get any takeaway yesterday, I went to morrisons tonight and bought some seafood cocktail (no sauce type) and a pack of juicy crabsticks, and a bag of mixed lettuce leaves. Had a massive seafood salad as my 'takeaway' with a pot of greek yogurt. But.........naughty naughty me ate the whole pot ehemm, a large pot. Flavoured with Dukan hazelnut courtesy of my fairy godmother ;) she knows who she is. And I was so stuffed i haven't needed any supper at all, still full. So I'm just popping in to say hi and bye, cos I am feeling rather grumpy/hormoney so I am clearing out before I scream at someone who doesn't deserve it. Got a book on my phone to read.

I saw my DD teacher today who retired last year, she has seen me a couple of times, but of course it was either early days or i was wearing a coat. She was so enthused about my weight loss it was lovely to hear. Of course because we have warmer weather, there have been a few occasions where i haven't worn a coat and people are starting to comment on my loss. But they all seem to think I've done it suddenly, they are amazed when i tell them it was 10 months ago.....winter hides everything LOL !!!!!.

Right, off to bed I go, might just have a glass of water before Igo, and then dance class in the morning. DD got a friend coming after dance class and her bedrooms a tip, might need to do a quick tidy in the morning.

I'll catch up on all your diaries tomorrow, need my bed LOL. night my MM friends xxxx
 
Just a nice quiet Saturday today, dance class for DD this morning, she had a friend come back to play this afternoon, so i did some washing, kitchen stuff, and sat in garden trying not to fall asleep for a while LOL.

Dukan food, porridge and yogurt, devilled eggs with cottage cheese and jelly yogurt for lunch, and vietnamese chicken livers with quorn sausages for bulk for tea. I forget to have my dukan bread today, but i did have some muffins so thats ok. I made a tofu/quark pudding split it into four tubs and froze one to make ice cream. Was quite nice.

I've not been weighed since Weds morning as I didn't want to see the ups and downs, but will weigh on Monday morning. Feeling good so far.
 
Your food always sounds since tasty. Saturday sounded peaceful. Hope you havery a great Sunday xxx
 
Thanks Sue. I need my food to be tasty and adventurous otherwise I'd probably have given up by now. Was feeling just a tad grumpy this morning, so I went to the car boot. Fresh air, walking and retail (cheap) therapy.

Got some scarves and a pair of crop jeans for me. Tried jeans on and with a breath in they fastened and a mighty pull up my legs, they were a bit tight on the thighs, totally muffin top over the top of the jeans. But.............they are a size 14. Go Me!!!!!!!! Totally cheered me up.


Here's a laugh for you all. I decided to make the 'Meatza' for my tea tonight. Hubby, DH and friend were having Lasagne, Chips and Garlic Bread. So, I smoothed out the turkey mince in a tin, baked it for 10 mins, scraped the liquid to the side of the tin and poured it into the recycle food bin, and promptly tipped nearly half the meat into the bin too............so annoyed, got quite upset about it, thankfully I had only just changed the bag in the bin so was able to rescue most of it. But it was no longer a flat shape it was lots of bits.

Weigh day tomorrow, since weds I have been an angel (weds was a choc fix day, very naughty) so i have been totally good since, no cheats, all my oatbran and lost of fluids. I am hoping for a loss of at least 2lb tomorrow as this will put me back to my lowest so far and back on track. Still haven't lost the weight from easter week when my body played up.
 
Arrggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Stayed the same this week. I'd actually lost ½lb from last Wedsnesday but stayed the same from last Monday.

Another week starts.

Food:

BF Porridge/Yogurt as usual
LN 2 Quorn Sausages and 2 Fried Eggs on Dukan Toast with a squeeze of sweet chilli sauce
TE Flat Scotch Egg with Cottage Cheese Side dish.
SP Sweet Omlette and Crabsticks

Counting dairy, eggs and fluids. Not sure if this is helping, may have to stop soon as its annoying me to count them after not doing it for such a long time.

Have had water tablets this week to counteract hormone water retention, and been having cider vinegar tablets this week too.

Done a lot of moving about today, kitchen work with baking, been to post office, out in garden, tidied bedroom and put washing away. Just sitting down for half hour before going to pick up DD from school club.
 
Don't be disheartened I was the same awful when it all slows down but you'll get there xxx
 
thanks hunni. I know. regardless of how I end up feeling with the lack of loss, there is no way I am giving up. There isn't even a glimmer of me thinking I will, I guess my main fear is that I won't reach TW by my own imposed deadline, which will be a year on the diet. But its still 9 weeks away, and if I can average 1.5 a week it will happen.

Its really quiet on the forum, I looked this afternoon at posts, and yet there are only 4 new things to look at tonight, hope everyone is ok.
 
I've never know it this quiet. Even with all the newbies. Xxx
 
Hello there - sorry for your weigh in disappointment. What he suggests for a 10 day stall (not sure you're there yet) is to cut out tolerated ingredients completely. Have you tried that? (I presume the quorn sausages are considered as such, but I know things are different over the Channel ;)). I love reading your inventive menus and you always vary your meals which is great!
The last stone is horrid! Hang in there x
 
Evening karin xxx have you had a good day? Have them scales moved?
