Start: 197.6
Day 1 - Well folks...it's been two weeks. Haven't eaten bread. Haven't eaten candy. Haven't had a cookie. Nada. Eating the meat is getting to be a habit. Commericals are either irritating me or making me want stuff. So, I'm glad for the DVR and skipping through those blasted things. Do you know how many of the commercials are for something good for you? Oh...I don't even know if 1% would be the answer to that.
Day 2 - I didn't feel so hot today. There's a lot out there about lack of energy, etc. I haven't had that. Until today. Just felt bleah. But..that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the diet...don't know. Could have something to do with the not using food to stuff feelings. I just have to feel them. And feel through them. I'm ready for vacation. Hubby says he's fine have a Stay-cation. I say I'm here always...pack a few puzzles and lets go.
Day 3 - So I do the morning weigh-ins because Dr. Dukan told me to. I don't like putting the number down here because...I don't want to see the number going up and down, which is what it's done in the past. And I'm nervous about that. But. This morning. It was 196.something. HOLY SMOKES!!! I'm telling you right now, I haven't seen that number in four years? Don't know. But I saw it. It was real. Wow. I'm mostly stunned.
Day 4 - The most amazing thing happened today. The scale said 195.something!!! Oh. I do not even remember the last time I saw that. I also put on a large t-shirt after church and it looked fine! Perhaps, within a few weeks, I can ditch the x-larges and live in larges for a bit. I can live with that. I'm starting to believe that I will actually get into my goal outfit. I should post it sometime. Also, today I had a small piece of bread. While sitting in church, I realized that the sacrament was coming and it's...bread...what do I do? What do I do? WHAT DO I DO??? Then, I mentally give myself a shaking. Dr. Dukan may be a doctor who has given me a tool to use in getting my body in a better place, but these are my spiritual beliefs and I ought not give this a second though. Should it throw me off for the day, then that's what happens. So, at my turn, I take my piece of bread. And while chewing it, I think, "Oh, come on! If I am getting one tiny piece of torn bread a week, can't it at least be good bread???!" Or something like that.
Day 5 - Hit the salad bar at the grocery store today. Minus salad dressing..cuz I don't know what they have in theirs and I know what's in mine at home. Discovered that the fake crab meat is sweet! Put a bit of lemon juice and parsley on some later on and this may go towards the top of my favorites list. Not beating out the turkey patties, but close. Asked my husband to please not leave chocolate wrappers around the house. He's doing really good in supporting me. Going so far as to tell me that I'm not having a cookie for my birthday. That didn't go over very well. I am completely planning on a cookie for my birthday. Told him that I also plan on having a piece of cake at our daughter's wedding. Dr. Dukan would understand. I think vacation plans are set...it'll not be a "get-away" vacation, but it'll be an away from home vacation.
Day 6 - I had to look at numbers today. I have been under 200 pounds for over a week. Let me restate that: I HAVE BEEN UNDER 200 POUNDS FOR OVER A WEEK!!!
Day 7 - Well..I had way too much sodium yesterday. We got a roasted turkey breast from the deli...it was delicious but very salty. And then, I looked closely at the back of that fake crab package. Whoops again...I'll have to hold back on that stuff...Dr. Dukan said to watch the sodium intake... Had brussel sprouts today and I tell you, I don't know that I like them as much without being covered with butter and salt. Sigh. Sitting in a meeting tonight, I was feeling all sorts of discouraged and frustrated. And I'm aware that these are negative feelings that I need to get out of my head...when Mr. T. says, about something completely unrelated, "...steady, sustainable growth we can hang onto..." Okay. Got it..because it was perfect timing. Now, to just remember it. Tomorrow is weigh in day for the end result of week #2...here's hoping...
Official weigh in from the end of my second week in the Cruise Phase: 196.2
Week two weight loss: 1.4
Total Weight Loss: 8.8
