So unluckily for you guys, I kept up my diary while I was away! Feel free to come back later....although I did try to be briefer...not sure how well I succeeded mind you!
18[SUP]th[/SUP]July Cruise day 36 PV day
Still battling the sore throat which is turning into a regular snotty cold, mmm, lovely.
Managed to stay on track today pretty well I think. The problem is absolutely not that I am being tempted to stray, it’s more that there just isn’t Dukan friendly fare available. If I cheat, it will be on fresh British strawberries and luxury ice cream thank you very much, not the crappy food from the hotel buffet breakfast or the UN canteen! The wrapped bean curd I brought with me have saved me a couple of times today– not ideal in the long run (slightly too high in fat) but fine for a week away I hope.
B: 1 egg, 1 fat free strawberry yoghurt, 1 ginger spice muffin
S: 6 sugarfree throat sweets throughout day
L: 150g tuna steak, 60g stewed tofu, aubergine caviar, courgettes and stewed peppers (these didn’t taste or look like they had any oil added, good work today UN canteen, good work)
S: 1 vanilla yoghurt, 1 ginger spice muffin, 60g bean curd, 40g vegan wheat protein bar
D: mixed sushi (salmon, tuna, mackerel, squid, scallop, omelette, unidentified white fish), Japanese pickles, soya sauce & wasabi
Exercise:70 mins walking
WW propoints: 29
Distress at being away from scales: high (no idea how you weekly weighers manage)
Weirdly, although Geneva has proved to be fairly un-Dukan friendly, it has thrown up a few trump cards. They have great low fat yoghurts here, ones that are 0.2% fat, no added sugar and no gelatine like the muller lights have. Also, having scoured London, a city several times the size of Geneva, for low fat cocoa powder with no success (what’s up with you Tesco? You don’t think us Londoners need bargain low fat cocoa?), I found a tub of organic, reduced fat powder in a really random health food shop in the middle of the red light district. Bizarre. And before you all ask, my hotel is in the red light district, I’m not pimping myself out in the evenings or anything.
Hope everyone’s doing well, no internet access tonight but will copy and paste this when I next get online.

PS Still can’t come up with a decent emmental joke. This really is no gouda.
