Hi there. I have been reading blogs all across the world this week while beginning my own Dukan Diet, mostly to keep me motivated! It sure has been hard work. So this morning i suddenly thought, why cant i do a blog? I haven't come across any from New Zealand, where I live, so it's perfect!
Unlike the other blogs i haven't catalouged all 7 of the days individually so i will just write down altogether how it has been for me the last 7 days.
Day 1
I was so excited the night before to read about the diet for the first ime that i stayed up late researching it. Crazy! Even crazier is that i was so motivated and excited that i got up at 6.30 am and jogged for 30 mins. So out of character for me, i usually find it hard to get up in the mornings. So every day this week bar one i have done this and also jogged again at lunchtime and followed it with 30-40mins of Pilates.
The first day was grocery shopping day so it was perfect, i could stock up. I noticed that not buying hordes of veggies for myself left me with ample money to purchase my mostly meat/dairy goodies!
I had no headaches, jogged twice, walked an hour and did Pilates.
Day 2
This day wasn't too bad, quite enjoy the yogurt i bought and marinated my chicken breasts in yogurt and curry and coriander. Yum on the BBQ!
Am eating cold cuts of meat such as beef, chicken and turkey, althogh turkey is quite rare in NZ. Bought a jar of onion marmalade with mostly vinegar ingredients so i am smearing a little of that on my meat at snack time.
Day 3
Have discovered I hate cottage cheese! No matter how i try to eat it is disgusting, reminds me of cellulite. Eughhh!
Met my friends for a coffee (we all have toddlers). One is pregnant otherwise I'm sure she would have wanted to do the diet with me! Looked at me sideways a bit when i pulled out my container of meat, but otherwise i tried not to talk about it, even though that's all i want to do! Luckily my husband is super supportive and lets me ramble on, although that may eventually wear thin!
Making hubby and the big kids cook their own veggies at night. I will still do the meat for them but they have gross things like sausages. Surprisingly the potatoes they choose to have every night aren't making me drool as i thought they would...
Day 4
Was easy enough today too. Was unsure whether i should be having oatbran at this stage but bought it anyway, and have started eating it mixed with yogurt. was like cold sick. But got it down. Surprisingly filling!
have no scales to weigh self, which is something i should have thought of when i started. But thanks to the daily deals website i am addicted to some beauty new ones will arrive early next week. I know my starting weight was about 68kilos (please don't be so shocked! Though i know i was :( but we all have to start somewhere...)
Still eating loads of meat, yogurt and egg whites...and oatbran
Day 5
This would have to be my hardest day so far. Went garage saling as per usual, which is my hobby! Stopped at a church fair and OMG so many baked goods and fudge, my weakness, as far as the eye could see. Husband and kids happily tucking into everything while i am frantically shoving sugar free gum in my gob. Left them there so i could search out sugar free lollies at the supermarket, but made the mistake of taking Toddler. He screamed and pinched and wailed and hurled whatever he could get his fat little hands on. I couldn't find the lollies so got deli meat instead,and stood in line while the other customers edged away from us. Tears began prickling and i escaped as fast as i could.
Got home still trying not to cry and found Husband had bought me a surprise trim coffee with sweeteners! Cheered me up no end. But was definitely the hardest day so far, temptation wise.
Day 6
Lovely nice day with Husband at work, so took the kids to the beach where we had morning tea (i had meat of course) Treat of chicken bacon and egg for lunch.
Made the most delicious dinner, chicken meat with bacon, in a garlic and lemon cream sauce. I did add about a teaspoon of red onion, but i figured it was so small it couldn't have counted as veges? will definitely make again!
Day 7
Technically this is still day 7....made an oatbran pancake for brekkie after my run but didn't put enough sweetener in and it was foul. never mind, just get it down! off on a walk soon, then a run then Pilates then usually i lie down and moan because my feet are sore!
Big kids are disappearing to camp for a week so the grocery bill will be smaller this week, hehe. More yogurt for me!
Well the Toddler is crying for my attention so i better go and report in tomorrow. Hopefully my scales arrive today!
