DUKAN Diet - day 8

So I'm being the usual Yvonne - the whole never sticking to anything for any long period of time. It brings me shame to mention that I have, in fact, indulged in souvlaki, noodles, pizza and bread. I couldn't help it because someone had a gun to my head and I was forced against my will...

Okay who am I kidding...! I am the only culprit here.

So here I am... Back on DUKAN diet day 2 once again. It's not so bad this time because my body is already used to it but I could be also the fact that it is nowhere as strict as I originally did it. I think veggie are okay.

Last night I pulled up my lazy socks and forced myself to go for a run around the block. 10 minutes into it... I looked at my timer expecting to find that I'd done myself proud with a 20 min run but alas... It is definitely a struggle to get back into the routine of exercise when you stop for a period of time. In my case, it was only 2 weeks.

Funny how people are different.

DUKAN diet - day 6

After six days of eating Nothin but protein... I finally gained the courage to weigh myself.

I officially weigh 58kgs and is exactly how I weighed in high school 5 years ago! Nice!

DUKAN diet - day 4

The "what have I eaten" list:
- can of tuna
- chicken ham
- souvlaki lamb

Souvlaki? Did I hear you correctly? Yeah that's right! My fourth day happened to be a Friday and Fridays are reserved for Mr V. After 3 days of restrictions, my body was crying out for something naughty. and well... Technically souvlaki is a meaty dish though Mr DUKAN must be rolling his eyes at my take of his rules.

The souvlaki snack was so savory and delicious that I nearly decided to quit and give up.

But fortunately, my low self esteem played it's cards and once again... I followed the DUKAN pathway.

DUKAN diet - day 2

The " what have I eaten" list:
- chicken ham
- natural yogurt
- tuna in springwater
- diet coke

So officially the second if the DUKAN diet and I'm already feeling the fatigue that comes with having no source of carbohydrates. Had training at head office today and the biggest highlight at each training is the delicious mini muffins that they bring in at roughly 10am... But unlucky for me... I had two days of training and both these days fall in my week of ATTACK PHASE which means absolute no Carbs.

Mr K ripped off a small crumb and gave it to me... Best thing I've tasted recently.

I feel woozy.

DUKAN diet -Day 1

My birthday has recently just past and I have to say that it was a delicious birthday. No, not a fun birthday because technically it was not fun... Birthdays aren't until past the age of group birthdays at Mcdonalds. It was delicious because it seems like the bulk of adult birthdays are food related. I had souvlaki after souvlaki and Chinese food after Chinese food... I was then a 24 year old with an epiphany! I received a DUKAN Diet book from Miss b for my birthday and decided that it was time in my life to take giant leap... Into the deep dark world where no Carbs can pass the mouth.

The "here's what I've eaten" list:
-Chicken ham x5 slices
-natural yogurt x1 small tub
- tandoori chicken pieces
-chicken drumsticks, eggs in soy sauce

How I felt:
I was extremely woozy for he whole day and terribly grumpy as he'll. Sittin at my work desk and looking at words that seem to blur before my very eyes. Not very hungry but feel healthier nonetheless.
