So, this morning I weighed myself and was a further 1lb down, so that's 3lb in 2 day's of Dukan. I've finished all my "nice" food now and it will be interesting to see if the lack of salmon/seafood has a greater impact on the weightloss (I expect it will as they are full of Omega fats, but I am not sure whether the faster weight loss I anticipate will be worth the hell of dry chicken and beef).
Today I have eaten:
2 x Muller light yoghurts
1 x tin of mackeral
1 x 2 egg omlette
3 x mini home made burgers with the oatbran in them (which, by the way, was STOOOOOOPID, I did it as I couldn't face oat bran porridge - I hate artificial sweetner and without sweetner it is really bad - but didn't think that it would absorb the moisture from the burgers, so it was like eating cardboard). I am going to try again with the burgers tomorrow night as I have a pack of extra lean steak mince in the fridge.
I have drank no where near enough water today - I'm really struggling to get this down me, I think it's largely because I am running around like a blue arse fly after 2 kids and our business and just don't drink fullstop. I have had 2 cups of tea, 1/2 a bottle of water and a glass of diet coke all day and now have the headache to show for it (James is now making a brew and bringing me a pint of water to go with it). When I go back to work that will change as suddenly there will be time to drink - how bad is that? Working full time will give me more time to look after myself than being on maternity leave!
I have struggled today, I have been very tempted by Lydia's lovely fresh bread sandwiches, but I have not given in to temptation. I told my sister in law about the diet and she'd already heard about it, so wasn't quite the motivating chat I was expecting, but tonight I have finally taken my measurements. God I am SO frickin fat - how did that happen? Who stuffed my face full of cake without me noticing? How did my stomach get so big that after her milk tonight, my little girl said "look mummy my tummy is big like yours" and since stopping breastfeeding it's even worse because my boobs no longer balance out my tummy! SO the embarrassing truth is I am a 51, 52, 54! Now I measured my boobs around the nipple line, so not sure if that is right or not, I have no waist anymore so had to guess where that was and have proper childbearing hips it would seem. Oh and I am a pear - maybe that will help me choose clothes that make me look human.
So, there it is, I am now pretty much laid bare for all - apart from the photos I am yet to get taken (my SIL did say I should do naked ones - for my own personal use I hasten to add - so I can see every change that happens, you know, every lump and bump that disappears. I think I might do this.
Tomorrow I am working in our shop all day, I think I may struggle. I will try to be prepared and take lots of easy eats along and will take a bit bottle of water, as I may actually manage that aspect. Not sure how I am going to fit in the walking tomorrow, may have to go for a late night stroll tomorrow.
Just been looking at Laura's blog and nipped over just in time to catch your update. You're doing really well too, by next week it will seem a lot easier, honest :-)
ReplyDeleteTry having one of those sports top bottles of water around near you, its a lot easier than a glass and somehow you seem to swig down more than in a glass. Keeping them chilled in the fridge is good, Dr Dukan reckons it burns off a few extra calories as your body uses a wee bit of energy bringing your core temp back up again.
Oooh top tip! Thank you x
ReplyDeleteYou're doing fantastically Liv, really proud of you (of all of us!), and it can't be easy preparing food for the babies and not being able to nibble...!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Mum's tip, I find drinking from a straw makes me drink more! I think any ideas for sauces we can come up with that are Dukan friendly make PP days SOOOO much more appealing! I'm on Day 7, and I like chicken, but day in day out it gets a tad boring ;)
