attack phase (day 10 & 11)

I've decided I am going to stick to the Attack Phase for a wee bit longer. I am not feeling hungry, I am not feeling tired or weak, I am not really missing veggies that much, so what the hell, I'll just go ahead and do a few more attack days before I start Cruise Phase.

Monday 17/05/10 - ATTACK PHASE (DAY 10)
Weigh-in: 76.5 kg
Down: 0.3 kg
Total loss: 3.8 kg
I'm going to be honest, I haven't really been doing much exercise. I haven't even taken Kuma out for walks at night. I think if I did, I would most probably lose more weight. But then again 3.8 kg in 10 days?! I cant complaint. Just makes me wonder how much more i would have lost by now.

Tuesday 18/05/10 - ATTACK PHASE (DAY 11)
Weigh-in: 76.4 kg
Down: 0.1 kg
Total loss: 3.9 kg
I've been eating out quite a lot. Steaks from pubs, prawns with chili and coriander from M&S. To the eye this would seem harmless, but if you take a closer look you'll realise all this foods have been marinated in non-Dukan condiments such as sugar, oil, etc. I think I'm going to start cutting back a bit, and play it safe with my roast chicken, smoked salmon, cottage cheese and yogurt. And to know exactly what I am putting in my mouth, i will do my best to bring my packed lunch with me everyday to work.

I have quite a lot of weight to lose, so I will make an effort and take Kuma out every evening for at least 20mins. This can also be an experiment, to see how important the prescribed 20mins brisk walking is on the diet.

On another note, I think I am going to contradict Dr. Dukan. I don't think weighing yourself every day, even less every hour, is helpful. I fond it frustrating so I am ttherefore banned from weighing myself everyday and will cut it down to weighing myself once a week, and if I find that too hard to follow then I will weigh myself every 3 days.

And I leave you with a little photo of todays lunch.. yummy but I think a bit too much :)
