Day 8

Today's weight: 156.2!yay!

quick update

I finished attack phase on Saturday, today my weight is 157.2. I hoped for 155, but I'll take whatever I get! So far, I'm feeling great and very motivated (which is soooooo important). On Saturday I had dukan friendly dessert, it didn't taste like real chocolate truffles but overall was very good!The recipe is here http://www.fitnesstreats.com/2011/06/dukan-chocolate-desserts/

Attack phase-Day 2

weight: 160.5 Breakfast: smoked trout and coffee with 1/% milk (this is how I always drink my coffee, so to save time from now on I will write just "coffee" At work: 2 cups of coffee, diet red bull (I have no energy whatsoever and literally falling asleep!) 1/3 of whole rotisserie chicken Snack: WW string cheese For dinner I plan to have small piece of skirt steak that I cooked yesterday. and lots of water as usual

It's been over a year since I posted here, but I need to come back and start doing this again, just to keep track of things. It's embarrassing but for the past year I've been doing what I usually do the best yo-yoing. I gain, I lose, then gain again..you know the drill. For my October vacation I got to 148-149 lbs, then I just stopped watching what I eat. I really didn't want to weigh myself today, I knew that I wouldn't like what I see. But here it goes: 161.7. I thought that I will never (and I actually promised it myself) go over 159 mark again, but it happened. It feels like I let myself down, again. But I don't want to beat myself up for this, I want to fight, I want to start over and hope that this time I win. Today is day 1 Weight: 161.7 Mini-goal: 155 (hope to reach by February 4)

2 more lbs till my mini goal of 148! I'm excited but nervous at the same time, because I'm going away on Sunday. We're going to stay at All-inclusive hotel. I don't worry about food, portion control always helps. Drinks are my problem. Gosh, I sound like alcoholic! I enjoy pina coladas when I'm on vacation, and these are calorie bombs, tons of sugar and carbs! I also like beer, also not very diet friendly.
So my plan is not to gain weight. I'll update when I come back.

picture time (and I can't believe I'm doing this)

To keep myself motivated I think it's time to show the world what difference 15 lbs make. At my heaviest in May of 2011-around 168 lbs.
And now (taken this Saturday). Not exactly "after" picture, let's call it "in between" :) Approximately 153 lbs

quick update

I didn't fall off the face of the earth, I just took a break.
I signed up for Weight Watchers at work and 2 or 3 weeks later dropped out. I think it's a great program but I just couldn't concentrate and get my mind on track. Since then I gained a little weight, went back to 159 then went back to Dukan.
And I'm happy to report that I weigh 153 lbs! It took me awfully long to get to this weight, but nevertheless I'm happy.
My new goal is 148.
I will update periodically.
