Hi all!
Been lurking on this forum for the last week or so, and i'm so impressed by the support you guys give each other, so i've decided to take the plunge and start a diary
First, let me introduce myself! I'm 27, from Dublin but have been living in Massachusetts for the last year for work. I work a crazy amount of hours here so my eating habits have been all over the place since I moved here. I'm in the type of job where I have no set breaks for proper food (but there are buckets of sweets and chocolate around to snack on) and have often worked an entire 16 hour shift without eating, then I go home and binge before sleep Have put on a little over a stone in the last year.
This is week 4 of dukan for me. Did 5 days of attack and am now on to 1:1 PPV. Have lost 12lbs so far, 6 were on attack. I've another 18lbs to go according to Dr. D, although my true weight seems very thin for me so will consider moving to consolidation in another 10lbs. Last time I was that thin, was post-illness and looking back on pictures of then I had no boobs to speak of and my face looked a little gaunt. Might have just been because I was sick, but i'll reserve judgement until then
Am working nights right now, so my B/L/D schedule is a little out of whack. I'm trying to eat breakfast when I get home, sleep, lunch when I wake up and dinner before work, then just have small snacks in work all night.
Here's what I had yesterday (PP):
B: Oatbran porridge with splenda and vanilla flavoring
L: 2x poached eggs with sliced turkey
D: Smoked paprika chicken breast (it was huge!)
Snacks: SF popsicle, SF jelly, FF greek yoghurt with a little splenda and vanilla flavoring.
Drinks: Diet Dr. Pepper, water, tea, coffee
Exercise: a short walk before work (10 mins), but I spent my entire shift running around the hospital
Some days I get the feeling that I'm not eating enough. I did a calorie count in my fitness pal and it only came to 800 one PP day (needless to say I had a couple of extra eggs and some sliced ham after I read that!), so I'm making a big effort to eat more.
Thanks for reading
Eerie
