PogMoma's Diary

I'm feeling a lot better thanks, I think it's gone away. Hopefully it won't turn into a full blown cold. I only catch colds once or twice a year so I think I suffer more when I do cos I'm not used to dealing with it!
 
Evening Pog, hope you've had a good day :) I seem to have a permanent cold! Always feel bunged up and sneezing, maybe it's allergies I don't know lol. X

Evening Clareel! I think I've had a good day, it went so fast! You know what, one of my colleagues said that he's already started taking hayfever tablets cos it takes a month for it to build up in the system. Hope you feel better soon! x
 
Thursday's food - PP

Rachel's fat free blueberry yogurt (not 100% Dukan)
Oatbran
Cottage cheese
Heck 97% pork sausages (not 100% Dukan)
Cockles
Tin tuna
Mayo (not 100% Dukan)

Gym tonight. 30mins on the sit down bike again. It's much easier than before now. I think I'm slowly getting stronger. I used to be out of breath by the time I got to the 3rd floor in my building but now I can half jog up it. Happy about that.

I am however slightly concerned about weigh in tomorrow. It was TOTM week and I had chocolate plus quite a few 'not 100% Dukan' stuff. Also exercise may not have helped the actual weight loss. I'll be happy if I've lost in cms tho. We'll see what the morning brings :)
 
That's great about feeling fitter Pog, as much as we want to look slim etc I think seeing benefits to your health is a huge motivator :) Best of luck for WI today and yes definitely measure as you may have lost cms with all the exercising X
 
Can't find that group Pog, do you have a link for it? X
 
WI for first week of Cruise (also TOTM week with exercising)

70.8kg (-0.1kg)

Body fat: 45.9% (up from 45.8%)
Chest: 101cm (-)
Left arm: 28cm (-)
Right arm: 29cm (-)
Waist: 84cm (-1)
Belly: 104cm (-2)
Hips: 106cm (-)
Left thigh: 59 (-)
Right thigh: 60 (-1)

Total 4cm loss

Hmm... I have mixed feelings about this. Practically no weight loss but 4cm loss making it total 9cm loss since I started this last Monday. And what's the body fat % all about?? I'm a slow loser anyway so I think I'll decide to be happy about it. At least I've lost the most around my waist and belly.

It's nearly the weekend!!! Yay!!
 
Thanks for the link Pog - well done on the results, I know it's not loads but inches lost and weight lost is always a good thing :) Exciting to see your waist and tummy getting smaller so whatever you're doing is definitely working :D

Keep up the good work and I know you'll everything will keep going in the right direction!

Yep I'm feeling positive, any loss is good :) x
 
Friday's food - PV

Tall Chai tea latte
Chicken caesar salad
Grilled halloumi cheese
Tea with dash of milk
Steak
Tomato and red onion salad
Diet coke
Cadburys Pebbles

Oohhh seeing the whole list makes me realise I've not been good today. Lunch was Nandos at work (at least I didn't get the usual chips and creamy mash) and dinner was eating out before we went to see The Mousetrap (very good play, enjoyed a lot). The steak came on its own with no sides so OH ordered chips and I ordered the salad. Given the circumstances I think I made good choices but not all 100% Dukan. Didn't have time to have my oatbran either. A day like this must not be repeated. Bad Pog. Must stick to the rules to meet targets!

Pog baby just peed and pooed all over OH's trousers hehehehehe. Mischief!
 
Saturday's food - PP

Medium skinny latte
Seafood sticks
Beef jerky
Oatbran pancake
Cottage cheese with onions & chives
Beef grillsteak

I weighed this morning and to my surprise the scales showed 70.4kg :D I'm still going to only record each Friday's WI but seeing that number gave me motivation to be good today. Maybe sometimes it's good to weigh in everyday?

College season has started again but this time I'm not taking college tuition but I have college revision in May and exam is in June. I'm terrible being disciplined when it comes to studying but since this is a resit exam, I NEED to pass this time. I've come up with a study timetable which I am determined to stick to. I have too many distractions at home so usually I go into work to study which is what I did today.

Overall good day me thinks :)

Hey PogMoma

How you doing? TOTM always gets us! Bet you will see a big whoosh next week!

And 4cm loss is great - well done :).

How do you check body fat? Calipers?

Hope you had a great weekend!

Its started already ;)

And I cant stop myself hopping on the scales every day! If the number dont change or even goes up, I have reached a point where I know it doesn't matter - its just a number!

But it does help me check if I have over indulged (like on the sausages last week - luckily no affect :p).
 
Morning!
A good result :) you're doing very well! Do you enjoy dukan and feel full etc? It's a diet I don't understand at all.
What are you studying?
Have a good Sunday x

Thanks, I had a non eventful but ok weekend :)

Ahhhh yes, maybe it's going down cos TOTM is finished now.

I have these scales that measure BMI, BMR, visceral fat, body fat etc. The standard WW ones I had before showed different body fat % to this new one (WW was lower figures) but I'm going to assume new scales are more accruate. There are these handles that you stick out in front of you and hold while it measures everything.

Yea you're probably right re the scale hopping! I checked this morning and for a moment I saw 69s on the scales. I weighed four times in four different spots of the bathroom and it was 50/50 69.9kg and 70kg so I'll go with 70kg :D

I think it does keep me in check and makes me think twice before grabbing something I shouldn't have!

Good news on the sausages, keep up the good work!

Hey Mandy!

Thanks, I do feel quite calm and I am enjoying Dukan now. It's a bit frustrating every now and then when I want potatoes but I don't even think about pasta or bread anymore. Since I eat a lot of protein, I think that's what keeps me full. Also cos I was messing around with 16:8 before I started this, I'm used to not having food ALL the time lol I only eat when I feel hungry now. The funny thing is, when I was calorie counting etc I was mainly eating lots of bread, beans, jacket potatoes and basically non Dukan food but I felt hungrier than I do now. The calories I'm eating now are pretty similar to when I was calorie counting but I feel like I'm not hungry that often and I'm losing weight. I must be very sensitive to carbs or something! Dukan in a nutshell is high protein, low carb, low fat. No processed foods or sugar. I don't know what it is but it's the only one which works for me (well, out of the diets that let you eat real food!) and I can see results quicker than others. I think you need to read the book to understand. It's quite interesting :)

Oh yea another thing I keep meaning to mention is that I don't lose as much hair when I'm washing it now. Coincidence?

I'm doing accountancy exams zzz... I've done 10 exams but still have 4 left to pass. It's enough to put most people to sleep so when people ask what my job is I usually say I work in an office and don't give any more details unless asked further!

Hope you had a lovely weekend x
 
It's certainly working for you so keep up the good work!
I can relate to accounts, it's what I do, it was never my dream I inherited the job from my Mum 19 years ago (long story) I went as far as AAT and decided that was enough studying for me :)
I don't envy you but it'll be worth it in the end.
Monday tomorrow boo :(
