My Diet - Week 26 Consolidation

Well folks this is the last week I am on the consolidation phase of the Dukan Diet. After this week I move on to the Stabilisation Phase, which basically is eat what you like (except have one pure protein day a week).

My weight has pretty much stabilised around 8 stone 7 pounds which is exactly where I wanted to be. My OH is still on the Cruise Phase but has not been strict with himself lately and so has not lost anything for a while, on the plus side he hasn't gained anything either. He still would like to lose another half a stone but thinks that will be enough weight loss for him (Dukan recomends he should lose another stone). I have to say he's done very well & looking so much better for it and to be honest I don't think he really needs to lose anymore weight, no matter what Dr. Dukan says, but I understand his need to lose another 7lbs so we'll keep plodding on with Cruise for a bit longer with him.

My typical 1 Pure Protein day a week has tended to be:

Breakfast: Oat Bran Pancake with natural yoghurt
Lunch: Bacon & Eggs
Dinner: Chicken Curry (no rice obviously)

I have been trying to have the PP day every Monday, as I can use up left over chicken from a Sunday roast, although some weeks I have changed the day (apparantly not recommended by Dr. Dukan, but what the heck!).

Now it's time to start living (well ... eating) normally again :)

 

My Diet, Week 7 - day 43 Weigh-In Day

Monday 29th October 2012

Weigh-in day!!!

I was really hoping my weight had dropped this morning, when I stood on the scales, after such a disappointment last week. I was not disappointed this time.

Weight: 9st 5.75lbs

Weight Loss: 2.75lbs

Total weight lost: 1st 2.75lbs

Although Dr Dukan says my true weight should be 8st 13lbs (which is my first target) I will probably keep going a little longer until I get to 8st 7lbs, this will give me a good margin for error and lapses when I try to maintain my weight.  I was hoping to be at 8st 13lbs by my birthday, I think that might be a little tough as its only 16 days away, but I shall keep working at it ... and you never know.

Breakfast: Ham, Poached Egg, Cherry Tomatoes

Lunch: Natural Yoghurt (with cinnamon & low cal sugar)

Dinner: Roast Chicken, Veg & gravy

Snack: Cinnamon Oat Bran Pancakes

I spent all morning rearranging the furniture in my living room so didn't actually get out for a walk today, but I'm sure I burnt off plenty of calories - afterall exercise is exercise.

I really must try to get some proper exercise tomorrow.
