Day 18 - Cruise

Day 18 - Cruise PP

Well you may have guessed from my cartoon but i had a really odd day today in the sense that i didn't feel hungry at all! I didn't have my porridge this morning, don't worry i will eat it tonight! I just didn't feel hungry this morning and when it came to lunch i felt like i had to force my sandwiches down me.....maybe my stomach has shrunk?

I have decided to treat myself, kind of a reward for sticking to the diet (cough.....minus Sunday!) and brought myself and iPad...it may not arrive until Friday but I am super excited so maybe that is why I am not hungry!

For dinner tonight I had a ham omelette as i couldn't face the idea of having another disastrous dinner while on the PP day! I used Waitrose wafer thin ham today and it was actually a lot nicer then the Sainsburys one and when it is literally the only flavour it is important to have nice ham!

I'd give today a 7/10!

Oh and P.S. I seem to be missing 2 days! I should be on Day 20!

Day 17 - Cruise

Day 17 - Cruise PV

Well I was really pleased to see that I had lost the 1lb i put on yesterday when i went on the scales this morning! I guess the horrid dinner was worth it!

I had my porridge this morning and have no converted one of the girls in the office into having it in the morning too! Just before lunch though i had a sick feeling come over me....i don't think it was anything to do with the diet however it did mean that I didn't have any lunch as i was worried i couldn't stomach it.

When it got to about 3.30pm I thought i best eat something as starving yourself is not a way to lose weight! I had 3 slices of bread but no tuna as i didn't feel quite up to it. Again one of the girls decided to try the Dukan bread and she loved it! See it really isn't that bad!

When i got home i marinated some chicken pieces in a tiny bit of Nandos sauce as i made chicken skewers for dinner tonight. It was lovely and tasty especially after last nights disaster! I also had one of my panna cottas that i made yesterday however they were a bit lumpy this time......i must have been having an off day yesterday when it came to cooking!

I'd give this day an 7/10 as although i lost 1lb i didn't if that makes sense?! Lol!

Day 16 - Cruise

Day 16 - Cruise PP

My god, i cannot tell you how worried i was about stepping on the scales this morning.....i was thinking maybe 3 or 4 lbs from yesterdays binging session! On Saturday i was 8st 3lbs 2 ounces.....today i was 8st 4lbs 6 ounces! To be honest just over 1lb i was really pleased about....well as pleased as you can be about putting any weight on!

I got straight back into the diet though. We went food shopping so i got everything i needed for this week....by the way if you are eating a lot of chicken then Waitrose are doing a bit bag of about 8 chicken breast's, individually wrapped so you can keep them in the freezer for £7!

When i came home i had my usual ham omlette......i am boring when it comes to food aren't i! It works for me right now though! For dinner i decided to make the Creamy Garlic Chicken that i had made before but even after 3 attempts i just could not get this right but by then my chicken was cooked so had to make do with plain chicken which left me feeling very frustrated i must say!

I decided to have some jelly and a bowl of chocolate porridge before bed to fill me up!

I'd give today a 5/10

Day 15 - Cruise

Day 15 - Cruise PV

Well i think the picture says it all really doesn't it!

Today was my friends wedding and i knew there was no way in hell would i not be able to drink and not be able to eat the food put in front of me.I decided that was the way it was, i hadn't strayed one bit from the diet, well apart from a few sips of wine so i decided that to do it and beat myself up about it was doubly pointless.

So here is my list of shame:

4 glasses of Champagne
2 wholemeal bread roles
Leak & Potato soup
Roast Beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and gravy
Chocolate Pecan tart
2 Lindt Chocolates
1 slice of wedding cake
1 sausage role
2 large potato wedges
and finally a bar of Galaxy Cookie Crumble for the journey home!

My god just to look at it makes me feel a bit sick! I noticed how bloated my stomach was after the wedding meal and i immediately had a bad stomach as i just don't think my body knew how to deal with it all. I actually felt horrible so the positive thing that i will take away from that spectacular fail of a day is how yucky you can feel when you stuff yourself with rubbish.

I'd give this day a 4/10......not proud of myself at all!

Day 14 - Cruise

Day 14 - PP

So today was a day i was kind of dreading if i am honest. Since starting on the Dukan Diet i have kept myself away from all social events that focus on drinking however my friends 30th was not something i could ignore.

I had my usual porridge in the morning and i had a ham omlette in the afternoon. To cheer myself up I spent a long while getting ready and feeling really good about myself. Dave had brought me a fab new MAC lipgloss to wear and i felt better about myself then i had in ages. It also helped that Dave said i looked really good which boosted my confidence a lot.

When we got out i had a lot of compliments from friends i hadn't seen for a while but i must admit not even that could make me feel that great when everyone around me was drinking and I was the only sober one! I was really proud of myself for staying strong though!

I'd give this day about a 7/10!

Day 13 - Cruise

Day 13 - Cruise PV

Well today it arrived and if you are wondering what i am talking about all i can say is that i should be rollerskating around with a dog on a lead singing 'oh Bodyform, Bodyform for you!' I had read that the diet can affect that but at least now i have a reason as to why i had put on 1lb yesterday!

For breakfast and lunch i had my usual however i could not wait for my chicken and mushroom as i really do love that dish!

At lunch time i went to get a new top to go with my skin tight leggings that i brought yesterday. It really was such a good feeling walking around the shops seeing things that i have avoided even trying on in so long as i knew they wouldn't fit and would leave me feeling really bad about myself.

My chicken and mushroom was as yummy as usual and i had loads of green beans with it, it's amazing how much you appreciate something when you can't normally have it!

I am dreading tomorrow however as we are going out for my friends 30th Birthday and I have decided to drive so i don't drink as we have a wedding on Sunday and i know that I'm going to have to write that day off for food and drink!!

I'd give this day an 8/10!

Day 12 - Cruise

Day 12 - Cruise PP

Oh dear......it has happened! I got on the scales this morning and i had put just under 1lb on. I was literally devestated. I know i had a PV day yesterday so i didn't expect to lose any weight however i didn't expect to put some on either! The only thing i can think of is that i did have a very large portion of Chicken and Mushrooms so maybe it's that.....i guess we'll see what the scales say tomorrow after my PP day!

I made my normal porridge today however i forgot to put sweetner in it today and it actually doesn' taste much different so what i would say is avoid putting it in as you can then use some of the allowance in other recipes!

I had my tuna mayo sandwich again today which is always lovely! I also decided to make some more Chocolate Panna Cotta's when i got home and actually put my sweetener allowence in that so i shall see how they turn out and let you know tomorrow! As the recipe only needed egg yolks i decided that i would make an egg white omelette so the whites don't go to waste. BIG MISTAKE! It had no flavour whatsoever and was almost rubbery! Such a let down when all i had to look forward to tonight was my omelette! Oh well never mind!

Seeing as i GAINED weight today and had a rubbery egg white omelette i give today....

4/10
