It's been awhile but I am back in to blogging. I am at about 132 right now, these last 10 pounds are very hard. I let my habbits get kind of bad around Thanksgiving but I have been very good about logging my food and excercising lately. I made a deal to myself to only weight myself once a week, and I chose Thursdays. Tomorrow is Thursday so I am excited to do so. I think weighing every day may not be the best for me because I take advantage of a low weight if lower than expected and then I eat more!
Christmas is coming up...yay shopping! With the end of the year, that means finals as well. I have one last final tomorrow and then it is finally Christmas break!
I will check back soon!

MUST....EAT....VEGGIES
Today is the last day of the Attack Phase of my Dukan Diet. IT IS NOT EASY... at least not for us. I think for people that eat a lot of meat, seafood, etc it would be easier... but this is not me. For the past 4 days, my husband and I have been eating nothing but proteins... tofu, yogurt, veggie burgers, stuff like that. There is a list that you have to follow pretty much to the T, which we have done. I have lost exactly 4 pounds, he has lost a little bit more. I am weighing 133 right now, it's awesome.
Now I am a realist, and I know that if I went and said alright, forget this, and even if I started eating pretty healthy now but not following the diet, I would gain it back. I have been drinking A TON of water so a lot of what I have lost is water weight, but it served its purpose... motivation, and that is what Dukan wanted to achieve during the attack phase. Tomorrow, we get to start veggies!!! It is one day of pure protein and then one day of veggies and protein. As much as you want from the approved list. I have never been so excited to go to the grocery store in my life! Anyways, so now this next phase you stay on that rotation until you get down to your goal weight (only 8 more pounds for me!) I think.... I am still not happy with this little bit that wants to stay around my hips! But I figure since people already tell me to quit this obsession, I will start working out hard when I get to my goal weight to tone, rather than still focusing on losing the pounds.
I took a picture this morning... it's good to see my thighs not rubbing together as much. But that curve in my hips kills me! NO, it's not that "I have curves" because I know that but it is fat on top of those curves!!

There ya go... that's my progress so far! Just know that this is not easy, but I hope it gets better now that I can incorporate veggies into our meals! I will keep everyone updated!!

Hello World!
Hi, It has been a long time! Let me catch everyone (the 1 follower I have) up!
First off, a few months ago I started having severe pains in my chest and lower belly, to the point where I couldn't breath and would hover over in pain. After a trip to E.R. it was discovered that I had a fairly large gallstone that was stuck along my gallbladder and had caused it to be infected and inflamed. I had the surgery and I am 100% healed.
I now weigh 137 (about 6 pounds less than my last recorded weight on here I believe) and my goal weight is around 123-125 now. I have decided that I want to start the Dukan diet. YES I am so against the word "diet" but I have hit a plateau and feel this might help kick me over the hill to the other side. ALSO, the main reason this one appeals to me is because I eat a lot of what instructs to eat, a lot of protein and vegetables! My problem will be cutting out the cheese and sweets! I plan to join the gym within the next week or so, although strenuous exercise is not necessary for this diet only walking.
I am intending on starting the first phase on Thursday, the "Attack Phase." In this phase, you can only eat proteins. A VERY strict protein diet depending on how much weight you want to lose. I only am doing it for 3 days, after which I will introduce veggies in my diet. Yay!
So come on Thursday, let's get this started!
