Back on the wagon!

8st 3lbs

Well today has been pretty tough to be honest. I have got so used to eating what I want when I want that going back to the attack phase is pretty depressing! The only good thing is that having been through it before I know it does work!

So for lunch I brought some plain chargrilled chicken from M&S and quest for 24 minutes for the privilege.....that's what having a lunch break in London is all about!

I ate my chicken when I got back to work, it had that horrible smell that only cooked chicken that has been sealed has! Anyway I made myself eat it all! After that I had a can of diet coke, hoping it would take the taste away, it did.....a bit!

I then started feeling a little peckish and remembered that I had my yogurt in the fridge which I had not yet eaten with the oatbran. Now if anyone here can tell me that they genuinely enjoy oatbran and yogurt when it goes all clumpy then I'll be damned!

We had a team meeting called late afternoon and can you believe it, free crisps, snacks AND cupcakes. I sat there very VERY tempted but remained loyal to the diet coke in my hand and left the meeting feeling very pleased with my will power!

When I got home I popped to the shops to stock up on some Dukan bits which I had run out of/gone out of date.

I decided that for dinner u would have mini chicken fillets with a tiny bit of Nandos sauce done on the George Forman. Now I know that is not strictly in the attack phase however I always used it in my PP days and it was fine!

I also decided to make some Dukan bread so I can have sandwiches for the next three days. I have made it loads of times so went about doing the same although I remember thinking when I put it in the oven...it's quite runny! Anyway half way into cooking I remembered I forgot the wheatbran, which I think you'll agree is quite an important ingredient when making bread! So I have some form of bread ready to take to work tomorrow....I will let you know what it's like!

I would give today a 4/10.

Back to the Dukan!

It is almost coming up to a year since I started the Dukan Diet and I can whole heartedly say it was the best thing I have ever done HOWEVER I have not been very good at sticking to it! I would say that I stopped eating Oatbran on a regular basis back in October last year and my pure protein days have not always occurred!

I have pretty much been eating what I like whenever I like so I guess you are expecting me to say that I have put on a stone or something but actually that is not the case.

My target weight was 8st 2lbs. When I started the diet I was 8st 12lbs. I got down to 7st 12lbs and I would say that I maintained this weight until about 2 months ago. I then seemed to always be about 8st however today I almost died when I went on the scales and was 8st 3lbs!! Now I know this may not sound a lot but it is a huge jump to me and I’ll be dammed if I let that continue…after all I have just sold a load of my old clothes on ebay and I cannot afford to replace my new ones!

I know that the last few weeks have been particularly bad, what with all the jubilee celebrations etc and we have had a few birthdays but I am 100% not going to let my weight slide again!

So on my way to work I stopped and brought a low fat yogurt which I had with some oat bran and I intend to start eating this again everyday as this really is the thing that keeps your metabolism going.

Tonight I am going to go and stock up on all things Dukan too. My plan is to do two days attack to kick start my body and then, from there see how I go.  I found that I really enjoyed my tuna sandwiches so I am certainly going to be having them all week. I think that is why I have put on the weight, I now work in London and there are always so many yummy places to eat!

Anyway please wish me luck and I would love to hear how you are all getting on!
