Day 5 - Cruise PV
Well as you know from my last blog i was very worried when i went to bed yesterday about what my weight would be doing today however i shouldn't have worried! I hadn't lost weight but i hadn't put any on and i am due my little pain in the arse.....i mean gift from Mother Nature in the next day or 2 so i'm guessing my weight may go up with that!
You'll be pleased to know that i managed to make my porridge correctly today and it was yummy! I didn't have any snacks between breakfast and lunch but to be honest i didn't feel hungry. At lunch i had my usual tuna dukan mayo and dukan bread which i am loving more each day! The mayo is really yummy and who knew that Dijon Mustard would complement tuna so well!
I made sure i drank my 1 1/2 litre of water at work so i could have some diet coke when i came home! I am also driving everyone in the office nuts as i am telling them to try the diet!
When i got home i decided to try the Quick n'easy Chocolate Drop Cookies again after yesterdays disaster. I decided to put all the ingredients in one bowl however when i put it in the tray it all just ran together as it was too runny and it was totally tasteless.....honestly, i don't know if it is me, i am unable to cook but if anyone has tried to make these please please tell me how to do it!
I decided for my tea tonight to make chicken skewers with mushroom, peppers and onion......may as well make use of my vegetable day! Like last time that i made chicken i marinaded the chicken in a little Nandos Medium Peri Peri sauce just to give it a kick and i added some garlic granules too.

I'd say it has been a good day on the diet today and i have enjoyed all my meals especially the chicken skewers just incase you hadn't noticed!
8/10 today!

Well my first comment got swallowed up - hey ho!! Well done Dukan Diva. Awesome progress. Those chicken skewers look delicious. I am going to buy some of that Nandos PeriPeri Sauce, I've used it before and it's great - even better if it complies with these 'rules' :)
ReplyDeleteI was quite short tempered yesterday evening - and again a bit earlier today. I notice it's happening when I'm hungry. Danger time for me is that after work/before dinner time - and this is where the weight has crept on for me. A glass of wine and some crackers and cheese or whatever I can rustle up - next thing I'm on the second glass. I did the South Beach Diet about 4 years ago - another good diet and it was very successful, but stupidly, I have let the weight creep back on by just - one treat and then next meal another one. One thing that diet did for me was cure my cravings for carbs. I just don't crave sweet things any more and it's helping this time. I've decided to try Dukan this time because I like the consolidation period and the absolute guidelines for not letting the weight creep back on. (SBD - is not quite as restrictive as this one either - but there a lot of similarities and I noted Dr Dukan's review of it was quite favourable.
I am on Day one of my cruise phase today. I am so happy a) to get a vege fix and b) I lost another 500g - or 1lb yesterday. In all a total of 1.6 kgs = 3.5 lbs. The goal they set me was 1.08kgs or 2.3 lbs. Woo hoo. Certainly makes it easy to keep going.
I have coeliac disease - intolerance to gluten and oatbran is on my not allowed foods - well I have some tolerance to oats but boy they still make me bloat up and retain water! I've emailed the dukan team but haven't heard back yet. I know they are an important part of the diet - esp for fibre, I'd imagine, so I'm not sure what to do. In the meantime, one deviation I have been doing, which is allowed on the south Beach - is having a protein shake in the morning. 2 scoops of powder plus a good dollop of yoghurt and water. Keeps me going until very late morning. Not that I'm encouraging you to deviate, but this weekend I have a conference that I've organised, on and am going to be so busy, so I am going to be as prepared as I can be but will keep make an extra shake in the morning, so if I get that I can't grab any of my food, I can quickly drink the shake. I would love to try the dukan bread, but suspect that I would really bloat with it. In fact one of my reasons for wanting to get back to my old weight, is that if I eat anything with glutem, I can easily gain 2kg - 5 lbs. So if I am at my old weight and that happens, then it's not such a disaster, but when that happens at my current weight, I look like ...I don't know what. Grotesque anyway :) My day yesterday would be 8/10 as well - 10/10 on weight loss but 8/10 on the monotony of protein only. Today is much better with veg. For lunch I made some fat free roast beef open sandwiches - the beef was the 'bread' and I had cottage cheese with yummy salady bits on top. this isn't so hard!! Just requires a new way of thinking. Hope you have a great day today. :)
