amazing start, disappointing 5th day

I started this blog yesterday, 4 days into my Dukan diet. So this is a quick recap of what has happened since Saturday, when I started the diet.

Friday 07/05/10
I recieved my Dukan diet book in the post. I was so excited that decide to jump straight into it. Weighed myself before going to bed - 80.9 kgs! 30 kgs to lose.. let the battle against fat begin!

Saturday & Sunday 08,09/05/10 - ATTACK PHASE (DAY 1 & 2)
First weigh-in: 80.3 kgs
I had to come into the office, and had to be there by 8am. Sleepy head as I am I didnt get up until 7am. So had to rush out of the house without having any breakfast. To my advantage skimmed milk is allowed in the diet, so I grabbed a lovely grande skinny latte from Starbucks, and some roast chicken breast slices from Somerfields.

The rest of the day and sunday were pretty much the same. Fried eggs (no oil) and iced latte for breakfast, grilled chicken or salmon for lunch and dinner.

Sunday weigh-in: 78.7 kgs!
OMG! I couldn't believe it. Only 1 day on DD and 1.6 kgs down! I know this was mostly water loss but still oh so motivating!

Monday & Tuesday 10,11/05/10 - ATTACK PHASE (DAY 3 & 4)
Weigh-in: 77.8 kgs
Down: 0.9 kgs down
Total loss: 2.5 kgs
The kilos keep coming off, I am over the moon, and its only been 3 days!!!

Breakfast: Venti iced latte from Starbucks with sweeteners, and 100g raist chicken breast.
Lunch: Roast chicken breast, low fat cottage cheese with onions and chives (2 table spoons), and a Fage 0% fat yogurt with sweeteners.
Dinner: Lean beef spiced burgers (2 small ones), and 2 tables spoons natural low fat cottage cheese. Another yogurt for dessert.

Tuesday weigh-in: 77.8
Down: 0.3 kgs
Total loss: 3 kgs
Not the best of losses, but hey better that than nothing! And to be quite honest 3 kgs in 4 days is not bad at all, not bad AT ALL!

Breakfast was the usual.
Lunch: Decided to go to my local pub and have a steak. Ask for an 8oz silion steak with no sides, no chips, no saladas, no nothings, and a diet Pepsi.
When lunch arrived, I took a sip of the Pepsi, it didnt really taste right. I doubted it was diet, but then again how could I tell if I never drink Pepsi. So I ate my steak and drank my "diet" Pepsi. Went back to the office and had my usual yogurt for dessert.

Wednesday 12/05/10 - ATTACK PHASE (DAY 5)
Weigh-in: 77.5 kgs! WHAT!?
Down: +0.2 kgs
Total loss: 2.8 kgs
Im gonna be honest, I had a gut feeling that was going to happen. I had a feeling the Pepsi I drank was not diet, and I had a feeling the steak was a wee bit to oily. And it showed on the scales and I was gutted. Usually I would have said "fuck it" and start binging, but for whatever reason I have faith in this diet, and this was only a littel bump on the road. I cant complaint really, this diet is made up of 2 of my favourite foods meats and diary.
