Weight: 97.9kilos
A shift!! And downwards so feeling good about that. I think my appetite is not that good right now as too many other things on my mind. But anyway, I do feel a difference in how tight my jeans feel around my waist so that is positive!
Keep believing, that's my motto today.

DAY 12
Weight: 98.2kilos
Ok, there, back down again just by sleeping through a night! Shows how false weighing yourself really is!
I definitely feel thinner than when I started the diet and that is what counts. I know that 4lbs+ has disappeared mainly from my face and tummy but that is good. Two bags of sugar!!!!
I am not thinking about how many more I want to lose because that makes the task appear impossible, so remaining positive this week as promised.
I am having a huge bowl of yogurt for breakfast and a skinny latte. I need warming up! I have chicken for this evening and some roasted veg to do a stirfry or something like that. Still one more week before Tim gets home again and still needing to focus on my birthday deadline...........
Have a good weekend fellow dieters,

DAY 11
Weight: 98.9kilos
But I feel less so looking forward to tomorrow when I think it will be fine again!
Didn't eat enough yesterday so that is probably why it is slightly up..........it is so hard to get it right every single day.
Working today so can't chat! Got to get downstairs for breakfast and then scrape the ice off the car, oh joy.
Have a good one.

DAY 10
Weight: 98.2kilos
Ah well, it is slow but steady progress and probably another pound off if I calculate it like that. By the end of the week I really hope I have lost at least one more kilo. My birthday is on February 28th so I want to be feeling great by then!!
I had some fish for dinner last night but it burnt in the oven whilst I was on the phone so not soooooo tasty! Actually it was horrible!!! But hey, it was on the diet list and so I ate it. There is chicken in the fridge for either this evening or Friday. Yum.
I am introducing some veggies now as I think an omelette tastes better with an onion or some mushrooms etc. And I have some shredded salad veg for my tuna which will be lunch today. I am working tomorrow so need to take the cottage cheese and veg then as well. Just creeping slowly towards having stuck to it for two weeks! Tim is half way through his placement so I am sure he is starting to think about coming home again. Be nice to see the lad again.

DAY 9
Weight: 98.4kilos
A little less - all good. Not feeling much like eating at the moment. Yesterday I felt quite low so it was easy to just make skinny lattes and eat what I needed to and leave it at that! I am in the zone!

DAY 8
Weight: 98.5kilos
Back on track! I am aiming for another 2 kilos off this week if possible now that my period is almost over and I can get back to losing all that water again! It makes a huge difference which I have to say the Dukan diet acknowledge and discuss in the book. My sensible head says it will all disappear but my desire head says ' I have not lost a thing - help!'
I went to my friends yesterday and she had made a chicken soup for lunch which since we didn't eat til around 5 o'clock, it doubled up as my dinner as well! I ate some bread with it and one glass of white wine, which is the only glass I have had all week, so a treat. Life is too short to exclude the odd indulgence!
But its Monday morning and I have 5 days to stick to the straight and narrow and cheer myself up somewhat. But that's for my other blog!!!!
So you know the routine by now:
yogs for breakfast; coffee for elevenses; cottage cheese + some cold chicken for lunch; coffee/tea for mid-afternoon and cottage cheese etc for dinner. I need a good start to the week!
Good luck with any diets you are following.

DAY 7
Weight: 99.3kilos
But that was after having eaten breakfast and feeling very bloated this morning! Sometimes it is this jo jo-ing that disheartens even the most steadfast dieter, but I know it is not a true indication today; I need to accept that I stayed the same in all probability and carry on being strict today. I do intend to go to a friends for lunch but I will do my best to not over indulge and hope that she has soup on the menu!!!
My first week has gone well I think - 2 kilos is not nothing and I have two more weeks before Tim comes home, so I have no difficulty sticking to it for that amount of time. A potential 6 kilo loss would been amazing!!

DAY 5 & 6
Weight: 98.6kilos
So I missed blogging yesterday but this morning I was delighted to see I have now lost 2 KILOS!!!! Not bad at all for 6 days dieting.
Yesterday I made the Tandoori Chicken from my Dukan diet book and it was delicious. Probably do it again too as it is on the attack phase and doesn't need anything else with it as it is quite filling. You do want something warming in this -19C weather we have right now!!
This morning I am going to stick to the tried and tested and tonight maybe some white fish. It really is too cold for just cottage cheese etc. I made an omelette last night as well, and plenty of yogurts and skinny lattes which are really filling if you make them in a huge mug!
Weekend I have planned a couple of visits to friends and I need to do some birthday baking but if this weather doesn't improve, then I will be staying home alone!!

DAY FOUR
Weight: 99.5ilos
Ok, I think due to my period probably, and nothing else so I am not disheartened! Hoping to get it off again today. Same routine, maybe a little chicken once I have looked up a recipe that fits in with the attack phase.
Brr, incredibly chilly sitting here so better go and shop!!

DAY THREE
Weight: 99.3kilos!!!
I am really pleased with this start as my period commenced on the same day. I retain water like a reservoir so it is always swings and roundabouts each month as my cycle progresses. And yes, I am a 50 something, but showing almost no signs of being menopausal as yet..........a hint of deviation from the usual 30 days but they still show up like clockwork most months! I do get down in the dumps pre periods and can be weepy and fragile and not at all the happy bunny I chose to believe I am 99.9% of the time. But nothing more than that (so far).
I had a good day yesterday. A few polos were irresistible in the evening because I stayed up later than normal waiting for a phone call, and my tummy was rumbling. Apart from that I stuck to the diet well.
And this loss is encouraging!
So todays plan looks like more of the same:
breakfast: mixed plain & activia yogurts. huge mug of milky decaf with skimmed milk. I whizz it up so that it resembles a latte and makes it more delicious looking. Tastes fine too.
mid-morning: I got up late so this is my mid morning already!!!
lunch: cottage cheese with tuna.
mid-afternoon: skinny latte.
dinner: cottage cheese with tuna.
evening: coffee or tea.
I have a very low budget for my food each week so it probably all sounds incredibly boring, but it helps me to stick to simple sameness for a few days before I progress to the next stage of the diet when I can add in the necessary veggies. My first goal is to have lost some weight before next Tuesday when I have a meeting and Thursday when I will be working. If my jeans are less tight by then I will give a loud yey!!!
