Well I had planned to end Attack yesterday, but I was unprepared. (Got the lazies Sunday night) Last night I made some awesome smelling veggie soup, and stocked up on the veggies I need. Decided since we are supposed to go out for breakfast on Sunday that I wanted veggie day to line up with that so I am starting veggies tomorrow. So tomorrow I am going to have some egg beaters with peppers and onions for breakfast (baking them tonight in muffin tins), some salad and tuna for lunch, and lean burger and cauliflower for dinner. Mmmm sounds so good right now.
The delay did not bum me out too much as I am now down 6.2 lbs. (Happy dance!) It is so nice to see real progress. I CAN do this! Yeah! Smiles :) xo
Fantastic Dawn! A great loss for the attack.
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, if you are worried about weighing in and think a gain may discourage you, maybe try waiting until you have done a PP day again before you weigh in.
In my first week on Cruise I put on 2.5lbs (water retention from introducing veggies again) stayed the same for the majority of the week and then had a loss near the end of the week of 2.5lbs. Your body takes a minute to adjust. It made me crazy, I wish I had waited till the end of the week and then I wouldnt have been any the wiser!!!! LOL.
Either way keep going! You are doing awesome. Sonia xoxo
Thanks Sonia, I am really pretty psyched!
DeleteI really appreciate the feedback and the suggestions, more than I can say! I will try to skip the weigh in after my day of veggies... Not quite sure if I will be able to resist as I am a tad obsessed with the scale right now, but it sure makes sense to me to try!
Hi Dawn, how are you? Hope everythings going Ok for you. xoxo
DeleteDoing pretty well - hoping to post an update soon - life of course has been a bit crazy so I have had to choose my battles of where to spend my time. I am keeping the diet going, but the blog has been harder to keep up with. Thanks for checking on me! xoxo
DeleteGlad you are finding your feet with it all, the time will fly by! I know all about scale obsession :) I started weighing weekly but now Im right back to weighing daily! There's no hope, I just give in...... LOL. xo
ReplyDeleteBeen giving in too - can't stop rushing downstairs every morning. Some days up a bit, some down. I really can't seem to stop myself. I have convinced myself it's really ok tho! (or so I keep saying) Thanks! xo
DeleteCongrats on the great results! Prepping your breakfast in advance is smart, I find that the weeks where I do meal prep on the weekend go by so much smoother for me. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI did do better but got really sick of egg beaters pretty quick. Now it's more of a rotation of sorts. Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteDo weigh yourself daily, but don't get obsessed by the number. I know that sounds ridiculously hard, but part of this journey is the "game" the scales play with you. You can't get discouraged by it. If you are sticking to this diet there is NO WAY you will not lose wight rapidly! Guaranteed. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe scale game is sure a good way to put it. I think I am balancing my obsession with weighing in daily but so far not beating myself up too much if I don't like the answer! Thanks for posting!
DeleteHi Dawn, I'm pretty new to the Dukan diet also, but have been learning and losing for 4 weeks now. 6.2# is an awesome start. Thanks for allowing for anonymous posting. There's some glitch w/ blogger accepting wordpress ID and it's the only one I have http://oceannah.wordpress.com so the anon. profile allows me to post Thanks! You're off to a great start.

Thanks Anna, I am pretty happy with my progress so far tho it is of course not moving as fast as I would like. I haven't quite figured out how to "follow" wordpress blogs but I have been to your site and have it bookmarked. Thanks for the kind words - I really appreciate the awesome support!
