Wow, How slack have I been...
I am still following the diet (with lots of cheats). I do my best to follow the diet, eat Dukan friendly food 90% of the time, but I don't stress when I go to friends' for dinner as I know I'll be back to Dukan the next day. And so far I'm very happy with the weight I have lost.
In week 5 of Cruise I fell completely off the wagon. I baked the kids some Condensed Milk cookies which was sooooo good. I ate 10 (yes that's right - I felt sick afterwards). Then the next day we had Pork Spare ribs & chips and so on. It continued for 5 days. Naughty Naught Naughty.
My husband decided to join me on the Dukan diet so I did 5 days of PP after that mishap and he did his 3 days of Attack.
Since then we both have been fairly good. The worst being when we went to a friends place for dinner where we both ate potato bake, sausages, crackers & cheese, etc. I also had two little glasses of red wine.
Today is day 58 on Dukan diet for me and I have TWO birthday parties to go to. Oh boy I know this is going to be such a bad day. BUT I'm not stressing about it, because it will only slow my weight loss and I'll be back to Dukan Diet tomorrow. I think a cheat day every now and then is okay as long as you get back to the diet the very next day. That way I don't feel like I'm missing out & I still loose weight.
My weight loss for the 5th week on Cruise (the very bad one!) was 600g. Pretty amazing compared to what I ate, but I'm very excited about it.
Week 6 wasn't so kind and I only lost 300g even though most of that week was PP. Ohh well, such is life. Keep going and maybe next week is better.
Week 7 (of which I still have today and tomorrow left) is looking good so far. My starting weight was 83kg and this morning I weighed 81.3kg. So maybe my scale was out at the end of last week.
I am so happy with the 11.1kg I have lost to date in 57 days since starting the Dukan diet. Thank you Dr Pierre Dukan.
As a treat for reaching the half way mark I had a massage, foot scrub, facial, hand massage, haircut, hair treatment and blowdry. Even got some basic makup put on afterwards. Wow that was three hours of bliss.

Days 32 - 38 - Dukan Diet Cruise Phase
Wow, another week on the Dukan diet. Can't believe I've done more than 5 weeks already. It has been fairly easy, but I am starting to want the sweeter things in life. My other big crave is bread. I love baking fresh bread and it is really hard not to eat any when it's still nice and warm...
This week start weight was 85.1kg and end weight 83.9kg. This is a loss of 1.2kg for the week and a total loss of 8.5kg. Wow it's fantastic to now starting to fit into some old clothes.
As I'm starting to crave the sweeter things I'm trying all sorts of new recipes (mainly ones I'm trying to adjust from non Dukan friendly ones). But I haven't had much success.
My cheat diary:
D32 - Coles Chicken Meat Loaf - didn't like it so I won't get it again
D33 - Shallow fried fish (hubby just doesn't know how to cook without oil)
D34 - Breakfast at our fav cafe, which should be okay except for the oil it is cooked in. I also had an Atkins Choc Decadence Bar
D35 - I was really good. No cheats
D36 - Another good day. No cheats
D37 - Atkins Choc Dec Bar, Coles Beef Meatloaf. I felt a little sick today so hardly ate anything. I only had half the oat bran for today.
D38 - Well today I fell of the wagon! I made the kids some condensed milk cookies and ate a lot of it myself. It was sooo yummy but really buttery and sweet. The only ingredients is condensed milk, sugar, butter and flour. Plus whatever you want to mix in. I did dark and white choc chips, milo and coconut, crushed peppermint crisp chocolate. Wow by night time I felt sick from all this junk. The only real food I ate today was fish & vegetables (cooked by hubby so covered in oil. LOL) I love when he catches fish & that he cooks it too! He's so good even though I make his ears burn because he came back from fishing at 1.30pm and was supposed to be home by 11am so he could spend time with the kids.
It seems that the bad things I eat only shows its weight two days later so Sunday's cookies will probably only show on Tuesday. So I think I'll have to do lots of excercise on Monday to make up for this slip up.

Days 25 - 31 - Dukan Diet Cruise Phase
Start weight for week 3 on Cruise was 86.9kg. End weight was 85.1kg. This is a loss of 1.8kg for the week and a total of 7.3kg since starting the Dukan diet a month ago. I am very happy with the weight loss and the ease of following the diet.
I am starting to crave more than just the savoury bits of the diet. I'm trying all sorts of sweet things. My fav is the easy cheesecake and chocolate oat bran muffins. These muffins are great for the days that I'm at work as I can eat 4-6 of these depending on how big they are. This means I can eat almost all day and not even feel like I'm on a diet. Yummo!
I am also cheating lots lately with the Atkins Choc Decadence Bars (about two a week).
My naughtiness for the week:
Day 26 - Atkins Choc Decadence Bar
Day 27 - Scrambled eggs & one bite of sourdough toast at Ona - my son insisted he share with me
Day 28 - Hubby took me out for lunch and I had fried calamari that wasn't crumbed but rather just coated in cornflour and spices/herbs. This was really really nice. I'll have it again for sure.
Day 29 - Atkins Choc Decadence Bar
Day 30 - I've planned this cheat day for weeks now so I didn't feel guilty about eating. It was a friend's son's 3rd birthday party and I had cake. Not once but three times. LOL it was soooo yummy. She was kind enought to have served carrot sticks and boiled eggs too so I didn't even feel left out whilst others ate the chips & fruit. Oh I did also have a chicken sausage that would have been a bit naughty but after three serves of cake who cares....
Day 31 - Hubby came home with warm White Choc & Macadamia cookies from Subway. How good was that. I ate half a cookie.
I also tried out a Meat Loaf from Coles that was pre-made and ready for the oven. The nutritional info didn't look too bad so I ate it freely. It was much better than a meat loaf I made a couple of weeks ago.
After all this naughtiness I still lost 1.8kg for the week. Hope it doesn't show up on the scales in a few days. That wouldn't be very nice but I sort of expect it to.
I cycled to the birthday party so I could burn off some calories from the cake.

Days 18 - 24 - Dukan Diet Cruise Phase
Wow, has it really been this long since I posted my progress on the Dukan diet? Naughty me for being so slack...
Week 2 on the Cruise Phase was a little up and down weight wise. I started at 87.2kg and my end of week weight was 86.9kg. Which is a loss of 300g for the week and a total of 5.5kg. Still pretty good though!
I did cheat a little:
Day 18 - Atkins Choc Decadence Bar (my fav cheat)
Day 20 - Couple of licks of Choc Ice Cream (licking my fingers when handling the boys' ice creams), I also had breakfast at my fav cafe (Ona in Coolangatta). As it was a PV day I had, scrambled eggs, mushroom, tomato and onion. All this would've been cooked in oil or butter.
Day 21 - Atkins Choc Decadence Bar
Day 22 - We went to our local Surf Club and had roast beef served with vegetables, mashed potato and covered in gravy. I only had one bite of the potato and scratched off as much of the gravy as possible. So really not too bad a cheat meal.
Day 23 & 24 - PP both days to make up for my naughtiness
Overall I didn't think it was too bad a week, but the weight loss wasn't fantastic. My scales are a bit buggered too so I'll just blame it. Sometimes it gives me as much as 2kg difference. I usually just take an average then. LOL. Not the best way but it sort of works for me. As long as I never see that 90kg mark again.
I also haven't been drinking more than just the required amount of liquids.
Exercise wise I've started using the bike about once or twice a week. Depending on the weather. As I have the boys on a trailer thingy behind me it's not ideal to go when it's raining or too cold.
