Dukan Diet Week 5

Welcome to week 5, I am at my first goal of 69.8 kg and feeling pretty darn proud of myself. Next goal is 65kg, hopefully I will be seeing that number in another 5 weeks (or hopefully sooner). In the mean time I'll keep doing what I'm doing, following the diet as best I can, avoiding the sneaky carbs, flour, and sweat my bum off every day.

	Day 29 Monday 19th July
	Weight: 69.8kg (-0.7kg)
	Phase: Protein+ Veg
	I reached my first goal of getting under 70kg and I'm feeling pretty darn proud of myself.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: oatbran porridge, coffee, 1 egg, 2 bacon, berrocca Lunch: chow mien beef & vegetable Dinner: steak and baked veggies Snacks: yoghurt, late night porridge Dessert: yoghurt Exercise 40mins Zumba DVD

	Day 30 Tuesday 20th July
	Weight: 69.7kg (-0.1kg)
	Phase: Protein
	Yay another small loss today, I didnt expect that after a veggie day but I want to get a nice 1kg buffer between me and 70kg as soon as possible. So I'm staying super strict until I hit 68kg.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: oatbran porridge, coffee, 1 egg, 1 bacon, berrocca Lunch: butter chicken (no butter) Dinner: teriyaki steak Snacks: coffee Dessert: yoghurt Exercise 40mins Zumba DVD + 20 min walk

	Day 31 Wednesday 21st July
	Weight: 69.3kg (-0.4kg)
	Phase: Protein + Veg
	Whoo that was a big one! I've just finished reading The Gabriel Method weight-loss book. It is very very good, its not a diet plan, its more about letting go of the issues that make you gain and hold onto fat. Personally I think I was using fat to feel safe, to not be the centre of attention, to blend in. And I am now going to telling myself on a daily basis that "it is safe to be thin". I honestly believe that the weight battle is 50% mental and this book makes some great points.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: oatbran porridge, coffee Lunch: Beef & vegetable casserole - 2 servings Dinner: chow mien beef & vegetable (small amount of rice) Snacks: yoghurt, turkey with tomato and cottage cheese Dessert: cheese cake yoghurt, 2 oatbran cookies Exercise  20 min walk - I had a day off the aerobics today, my muscles were achy and needed a break to heal.

	Day 32 Thursday 22nd July
	Weight: 69.3kg (-0kg)
	Phase: Protein
	No loss today, not suprised after no major exercise yesterday. Feeling really flat today, not sure if its because work is stressful or because I didnt exercise yesterday? I'm going away this friday night to a bed & breakfast, so that will be interesting, I will relax a little and have a few wines and some cheese, but I'll be back on the diet on sunday. Trying to be good today to help not gain too much while I'm away but its a struggle today. Update: I was about to go to bed with no exercise and I just felt so disappointed in myself, the feeling is overwhelming, Ive never had such a strong desire to exercise... something is definitely changing, I'm trying to figure it out. It could be a 'I've come this far" or I feel like I'm on some sort of timer, like I can't waste one day of loosing weight, every day counts. That could be due to the looming Thailand holiday and my vision for myself, I'm thinking of the Thailand holiday as a reward for myself and show off my efforts. It's more of a personal goal than a vanity thing.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: 1 egg 2 bacon, coffee Lunch: meat balls - I added a small amount of sauce and cheese today (no ment to on a non veg day) Dinner: Left over meatballs, porridge (exciting I know) Snacks: yoghurt, weight watchers hot chocolate (a bit high in carbs but having a major craving) Dessert: 1 glass of wine (naughty), tea Exercise 40 mins Zumba, including 20 mins of pain flat abs dvd lol

	Day 33 Friday 23rd July
	Weight: 69.0kg (-.3kg)
	Phase: Holiday
	Yay I've finally rounded off at 69kg, today I'm off for a night away and am not sticking to the diet today. I will be going bushwalking and eating good food so all will be well on monday weigh in I hope x Update: Eh all that bad food made me feel so so sick! It could have been the alcohol too but I didnt enjoy most of it, the cheese was good but the rest made me nauseous. Not liking normal processed food at all, I can taste the metal and funny chemicals so much now.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: Weight watchers cerial Lunch: Chicken & avocado green salad Dinner: roast beef, veggies Snacks: crackers & cheese, casew and spinish dip, wine, champagne, chocolate Dessert: moose, icecream, caramel slice Exercise light walking

	Day 34 Saturday 24th July
	Weight: -
	Phase: Holiday
	Still feeling sick this morning and I couldn't sleep, such a shame I really wanted a enjoyable time away but my body let me down. I still had a good time but wish I felt better. We did a 5km bush hike today, I found it pretty easy but it was a good workout up hills.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: muesli, croissant, bacon, eggs, hash brown, juice Lunch: none still feel full Dinner: sushi Snacks: scone & chocolate milk shake Dessert: 1 square of chocolate Exercise 5km bush walk with hills

	Day 35 Sunday 25th July
	Weight: 69.8kg (+0.8kg)
	Phase: Protein
	Well weighed myself today and I've gained .8kg, to be expected, I'm hoping most of it is water weight and it will come down for my monday weigh in. I'm starting to get concerned I will never enjoy real food again, nothing tastes right, I can't stand vegemite anymore which I loved. I am off to an organic health food store tomorrow to get some fresh food, I might do a few days on vegetables and see if I can still loose weight, I'm feeling a bit tired.
	Food Diary: Breakfast: oatbran porridge, coffee, 1 egg, 3 bacon, hollandaise sauce, berrocca Lunch: butter chicken curry (no butter) Dinner: Beef steak with pepper sauce Snacks: yoghurt Dessert: cheesecake yoghurt Exercise 20 min Zumba, 1 1/2hrs gardening, book exercises before bed

Week 5 Roundup

Total weight loss for the week: 0.5kg

Yay I lost most of the weight I gained on my 2 day holiday, and I should be into the 68s on tuesday. This week has been a good week for weigh tloss but a roller coaster of emotions. When I came off the diet and didnt enjoy the food I felt so disappointed in myself and that the break wasn't worth it.  I am very happy with my weight loss and can't believe it is so fast, I am exactly on track to where the Dukan website predicted my weight loss, they definitely know how the body works!  My new focus for week 6 is to introduce more organic food. I have noticed my taste-buds changing, becoming more sensitive, I can taste the chemicals in food now, like a metal taste and I think now is the time to get cleaner and fresher food into my diet.
