Day 4 - Attack Phase

Well, I'm more than halfway through the attack phase.  Then to the cruising...which is going to be a heckofalong cruise!  Even for those of us who love cruises.  But...once again, I only have myself to blame for that long phase. And...I am to be finished with it before the end of November.  That's do-able.

To this morning's weight in.  I am very happy with my little weight ticker that I put at the bottom of this blog.  Because I got to move my lightning bolt again today...AND...my BMI is already almost down an entire number!!!  And what did I weigh this morning?  Well...it was:  199.6!!!

Just over a pound gone.  Oh...that is happiness.  That is 5.4 total.  That is out of the 200's.  Hopefully never to return.  Hopefully to never again self sabotage myself to those icky numbers again.

The only thing that causes me to stop and think is that by Dr. Dukan's graph, I'm to lose 5.05 in the attack phase.  I passed that...does that mean that I won't lose anything else this week?  I dunno...guess we'll find out in the morning.  I'm hoping there continues to be a negative difference...when I hit the cruise phase, I will only post my weight once a week...and I know that it won't be as fast or drastic of weight loss from there on out, which is fine.  That's the way to do it.  But...will there be any changes in the scale tomorrow?  In 12 or so hours, I'll know.

Didn't get great sleep.  Hubby got called out and was gone all night.  So a part of me was listening for him to get home.  He came home late this morning and promptly went to sleep...so I was quiet around the house...did my T-Tapps...and now to my food intake:

Breakfast...another light cocoa flavored Galette and milk...I think tomorrow I'll go with cinnamon...


Didn't get hungry before lunchtime...so no snack...

Lunch, rolled up some ham and turkey.  Peeled myself a hard boiled egg, got some ground mustard out and put a bit on top...put a sugar free zero calorie Crystal Light in my water...


Had the hankering to munch on something...wasn't hungry, just habit, I suppose.  So I got out a can of Diet Dr. Pepper...since that would last me awhile and the bubbles would fill up my tummy.  Hand to mouth...hand to mouth...that's what I need to break bad habits.  A can of soda?  Hand to mouth...hand to mouth...it works for me.

Today is the 4th of July.  Asked my husband what he wanted for dinner...he wanted grilled hamburgers.  I can eat hamburger!  Phew!  Get some turkey bacon in the oven (i believe i read that i can eat that...hope it's a true memory)...get some burgers on.  He had a bacon cheeseburger...Doritos (not tempted by those) and black olives.  He said, "it's like a picnic!"  So I was happy that my protein day hasn't messed up his dinner.  As for me?  I had some of those turkey bacon pieces, two hamburger patties with some Dijon mustard on top.  Oh, and a small dill pickle for some crunch factor...that's another one of my weak areas...I like something crunchy...


I'm feeling pretty full.  I may or may not have a custard later...I also made some sugar free jello layered with nonfat plain yogurt...so maybe I'll have a few spoonfuls of that.  Wait for some fireworks...get myself to sleep...and hopefully have that scale tell me a lower number tomorrow.  I'll take even fractions of a pound since I already hit that 5 pounds.  I'm wanting the attack phase lowering numbers to continue.  Come cruising time, I'll be okay if the number stays still...but I'm not there yet.

Other than that...I made it another day.  I can do this.
