Wow... that is a good reason to keep blogging, keep on reminding myself of my goals.

Dukan Diet Day 5

I begin to feel the effect of lack of carbs...

Sugar free cordial drinks had been a life saving elixir for the past few days. I craved for sugary stuff, and at times, I can feel that my mind won't rest until I get a taste of sweetness. This is really unusual as I usually don't really crave for sweet things ( if I have any cravings, it is usually for peanuts!)

Today, it seems like I can no longer trick my body that effectively with sugar free cordial drinks! I need quiet a few glasses before "calming down". Can't seem to get my mind off carbs, cakes etc.  It is funny this is happening, but I managed to stick to the protein!

Two more day of proteins, and I will be able to add vegetables. I am doing a prolonged attack phase because there is a lot I need to lose! 

Dukan Diet Day 4, and I have lost....

1.5 kg!!!


That is not a lot  (some really irritating people lose 5 pounds in just three days), but it is quite an achievement for me. If you look at all the weight loss posts I have ever made in this blog, you will get what I mean. Let me remind myself that. 0.5 kg a day is just absolutely amazing!!! Too good to be true for a fat woman with PCOS.

Quite a lot of it must be water, as I did track my calorie input vs ouput, and I know I have a deficit of about 1700. That works out to about 0.5 kg body weight. Since I am losing 1.5 kg, I DON'T CARE!

My colleague who knew about my diet also complimented me. Another was very worried.  Gosh, this got be the toughest Monday. I have to think about what to eat, what to say to my well meaning colleagues and how to stay out of the chocolate fest! I told them I dont care about live or kidney damage, I wanna lose weight! If this diet allows me to achieve what will normally take 3 months of hardwork in 3 days, I am sticking with it!!!

I survived this horrible Monday by stopping 2 stations early and walked to the office. The long walk was a good time to prep myself for the day. On my way home, I walked another station again.

Lunch was on my own, going for a walk to a sushi place to get some salmon.  Lets home that the weight loss will make me more sufferable and my choice to abandon lunch with friends will be eventually forgive!
