Start: 179.4
Day 1 - 179.4. Well, this is a first. Starting my 12th week on this here Dukan Diet and it's the first time I didn't end a week with a lower number. Oh well. The past is the past. I didn't eat corndogs...nor cotton candy...nor caramel corn...I need to remember successes. AND...I am in the 170's. Barely, but still. I'll take it. Do this week the best I can and see what happens. Perseverance. And...I do know, that even though the last half of the past week was very frustrating, I'm not throwing in the towel. Made myself some chicken vegetable soup. I missed my homemade noodles only for a moment...I loved it that much. The leftover soup is in the fridge awaiting my next veggie day.
Day 2 - 180.0. Maybe it's the salt from yesterday's soup? There was more salt in the broth than I'm used to, even though it was the reduced sodium. I'll go with that. Blame it on the salt. Today, I'm going to enjoy my protein. Take care of business and just "enjoy" being at my wedding weight. And not weighing more. And look forward to when the weight drops again.
Day 3 - 178.4. Yeah...I'm not going to get REAL excited...cuz last week we did this and then it didn't end so well. But, I'm happy to not see a 180 number. Real happy. And happy to eat my soup this afternoon. Last night, while eating my "fake cookies", I accepted that I just need to munch on stuff. On protein days, that gets trickier. On PV days, it's easier...I can get some celery or something.
Day 4 - 180.something. Yeah. Just what I thought. I really really don't want to be on this number for two weeks. Text conversation between me and my husband: me - I really really really really want a hamburger and fries for dinner. him - NO! me - You're supposed to say: you've done so good sweets, you can have a night off. him - you done so good I don't want you to feel terrible by doing this. me - I think you should get to know me better. :) Long story short...I had a hamburger, fries, and ice water for dinner. I don't feel guilty and we're not to talk about it...cuz I don't want a guilt trip from him. It's not a reason to "fall off the band wagon", which I have no intention of doing. I still have an outfit to get into, and that's at my goal weight. I'll read what Dr. Dukan has to say and I shall follow his words of wisdom. And cringe when I get on the scale in the morning. Good news is that I don't have to wake up to an alarm for the next two mornings...that's the good news. Oh, wait...I've lost 25 pounds! Good for me. Now...no more hamburgers for long time. Beginning of December? Beginning of December. p.s...i have a stinking headache...and i don't think it's from the ice water...
Day 5 - 179.4 again. I thought for sure it'd be 185 or something. Perhaps it was the stress from last night? My dad is in the hospital. Hopefully, it's just something that changing his medications can fix. My brother, sister and daughter are on their way there and I'll know more in just over an hour. As to food. I don't feel bad about dinner last night. I feel bad about the chance I took with gaining back some weight, but the way the past 1 1/2 weeks have been going...who knows when I'll get away from this 180 number. So. I'll deal. I'll cope. I'll not go buy a Mounds candy bar. But, I fully intend on asking for one to be in my Christmas stocking. Here's to a most excellent protein day. But mostly, here's to good news about my dad.
Day 6 - 179.0. Hmmm...I'll try to not get excited. But I'll not lie and pretend that I wasn't happy with that number. Here's the deal: last week threw me. I don't know what's going on. I'll just do the best I can. Eat right today, do my T-Tapps, smile, pray for my dad, and spend some time with my husband. Oh. And watch Survivor tonight...cuz we have to keep our priorities straight. Oh. And I'm grateful for my fake cookies to munch on at nighttime.
Day 7 - 178.8. Dare I hope? Tonight is a board meeting 1 1/2 hours away...we go to this location a few times a year, and whenever we go, they always barbecue us quite the spread. Ribs or steaks...grilled veggies...rolls, etc. I've been thinking that I'll drive myself down so I "miss" the dinner and don't have to do the whole: Oh, no...sorry...can't have that... Sure you can... Well, no, but thanks... And then distract. So. Do good today an have a good number on the scale in the morning...I can do that. But a bad thing? I am NOT liking my boobs. That's not a regular thing that has happened in my life. But I'm not too impressed with the changes that are a-happenin' there.
Official weigh in from the end of my eleventh week in the Cruise Phase: 176.6
Week eleven weight loss: 2.8
Total weight loss: 28.4

Lol - I was talking to Dustin the other night and he was telling me not to loose as much as the BMI recommends, he told me, "You won't have any fat on you! You won't have any boobs!"
