Dukan Diet Week7

3rd September 2010

Hello everybody, I am now on week 5 of my recovery after having my appendix out and starting to feel like my old self. Up until a few days ago I haven't been able to exercise without pain. I did a 1.5km jog without pain a few days ago and a zumba dvd, so things are looking up. I am really surprised about how much fitness and muscle I have lost over the 5 weeks.

Before stopping the diet my body was on a plateau and I am hoping by having this break I will have really good results when I start the diet up again. I am planning to start next Thursday and do an attack for at least 4 days. I would like to hit the magical 65kg goal this month. And I would LOVE to be about 62kg-60kg by the start of November (2 months away) for my holiday to Thailand. It all sounds achievable, just need to regain my focus!  I will start updating this site again as of next thursday and here's hoping I can stick to it :)

Diet Resumed: Attack Phase Begins

Calendar

Day 42 Thursday 9th September

scales Weight: 68.4kg
Food Phase: Attack
Entry Well the day has come to rejoin this diet, the past 6 weeks has been a nice break, I managed to stay under my finishing weight of 69kg. But my Thailand holiday is fast approaching and I'm running out of time. I'm going to approach the diet a little differently this time, mainly the exercise part, last time I was already really active and doing 40 mins of cardio a day, so I found it hard to increase that as the diet went on. This time I have been pretty inactive over the past 6 weeks, and I am going to introduce exercise more slowly and hopefully loose more weight faster. Also if I plateau I will be able to increase my cardio to get through it. Wish me luck, Dukan Diet take two!

Day 45 Sunday 12th September

scales Weight: 67.3kg (-0.5kg)
Food Phase: Attack
Entry Yay a loss today, that brings it to 1.1kg in 3 days! Yesterday I managed to get through a picnic on the beach without eating anything not allowed on the diet, go will power. I have been finding the attack phase easier this time around, I guess because I have a few recipes up my sleave now and I have a big breakfast this time as well.. Going out shopping today was challenging, all I could smell was doughnuts and cappuccinos! I stayed strong though! I was going to only do the Attack phase for four days, today being the last day but I might keep going till I get into the 66's, that will be my lowest weight yet.
