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!!
