Tuesday 13th November 2012

Today it is my birthday and so I decided to treat myself to a small slice of my birthday cake, I know it's not allowed but up to Sunday (and now today) I haven't had one thing that is not allowed, so I am not going to beat myself up about it.

I have a box of fudge, bought for me a while ago, sitting around, staring at me, which I have resisted for 8 weeks, now I have been bought a box of chocolates which I shall have to resist too. But ... the carrot cake was too much and I had to succumb.

Breakfast: Natural Yoghurt, with low cal sugar, mixed Spice & Goji Berries

Lunch: Small slice of birthday Carrot Cake (with the 2 finger kitkat edge and M&M topping

Dinner: Depends what someone else will cook for me, or buy in (actually it ended up being Chilli Con Carne which I made myself, so no special birthday meal cooked for me).

I went for a walk today, and met up with my friend for a drink at Costa, then carried on my walk, I was walking for 50:42 minutes covering 2.44 miles and burning 186 calories (pretty sure that does not cover the calories in the cake - oops)

My Diet - Day 41 & Day 42

Saturday 27th October 2012

Breakfast: Scrambles Egg with Low fat Cream Cheese

Lunch: Left over Chicken Casserole

Dinner: Sheek Kebab, Tandoori Trout, with onions & peppers & Salad (absolute yummmmm)

Snack: 2 x Goji Dukan Cookies, "no added sugar" ginger beer

I haven't done any exercise today, so far, I've had other things to do, however as well as my walk yesterday I thoroughly scrubbed my cooker clean, and believe me, when I say, that had to have burnt off calories.

My Indian takeaway was superb and sooooo tasty. I tried to choose very wisely, the Sheek Kebab is made from minced lamb, which technically is not on the Dukan Diet due to the fat content in lamb, however I decided to have it, knowing that most of the fat would drip off during the cooking process. I decided on the Tandoori Trout for my main meal which came with salad, but I didn't realise also came with some veggies, onions & peppers, both allowed on PV days so I ate it all up and delicious it was too. I know the veg may have been fried or even roasted but after completing 6 weeks on this diet with no hick-cups at all, I felt I deserved it. My OH had a whole Tandoori Chicken, rather than trout and had the same sheek kebab starter as I did.

Sunday 28th October 2012

Breakfast: Baked Eggs Florentine

Lunch: Natural Yoghurt (mixed with a dsp of low cal sugar, cinnamon & ginger)

Dinner: Sticky Chicken

Snack: Chocolate mousse

I've chosen not to take exercise out doors today, it's Sunday, my day of rest. I know I didn't do any yesterday but I have in fact done plenty this week to cover missing yesterday and today. If I feel particularly energetic later I may do something on the Wii Fit. (Don't hold your breath though) ;)

It's my sister's birthday today and I popped over to see her and was very good in resisting the offer of birthday cake and chocolates. 

The sticky chicken for dinner  was delicious, tasted like sweet chilli sauce (without the chilli). I think I made too little chicken or too much sauce or maybe I was supposed to cook it without a lid on the casserole dish, the sauce then might have reduced & thickened more to make sticky chicken, rather than chicken in sweet sauce.

My Diet - Day 38, Day 39 & 40

Wednesday 24th October 2012

Breakfast: Low Fat Natural Yoghurt

Lunch: Thick Chicken Soup (contains Oat Bran)

Dinner: Grilled Smoked Mackerel

Snack: Chocolate milkshake


My walk today took me to the railway station with my son again, so similar to other walks recently. A 2 mile walk, over roughly 34 minutes and burning 152 calories.

I wasn't tempted, last night, to indulge in any "not allowed" foods or drink ... and thoroughly enjoyed the ballet.

Thursday 25th October 2012

Breakfast: Cinnamon Oat Bran Porridge

Lunch: Left-over Shepherds Pie with pumpkin mash

Snack: Salad

Dinner: Chicken Casserole

Snack: Chocolate Mousse

I did my Wii Fit jogging again today for 30mins which covered 8186 meters (5.09 miles) and would have burnt off 497 calories if it had really been on a treadmill, who knows what calories I really burnt but more than if I'd done nothing.

I went to Pizza Hut today with my mum and daughter and I was very good, whilst watching them both consume foods that I must not eat. I had a salad consisting of pickled beetroot, cucumber, grated carrot, baby spinach, 3 small pickled onions, peppers, 3 cherry tomatoes and some low fat French vinaigrette dressing.

Friday 26th October 2012

Breakfast: Natural Yoghurt (I ended up not having breakfast, my OH did though)

Lunch: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs

Dinner: Kebab Meatballs (I added a little chilli powder to the meatballs, and also made some beef gravy (stock cube) thickened with a little cornflour)

Snack: Goji Dukan Cookies

I decided to start incorporating goji berries into my diet as they are allowed during all phases on the Dukan Diet (1 tbsp per day during the Attack Phase and on Pure Protein days on the Cruise Phase & 2 tbsp per day on the Protein & Veg days). They can be bought from the Dukan website.

I accompanied my son to the railways station again today and did a little shopping on the way back, so my walk today was for just over 37 minutes and covered 2.22 miles, burning  174 calories. 

I'm still having my 2 tablespoons of oat bran a day & drinking at least a litre and a half of water a day (can be other fluids as well such as tea, coffee, diet coke etc).

I'm going to treat myself tomorrow night and have a tandoori chicken (or chicken tikka) & salad for my dinner.
