Up 2Lbs! Uh-No!

No, not sure how that happened! OK, no problem. will keep going strong. The weight WILL go down! It has too! :)

Good day. No run today as I took it off after the 5K yesterday. Tomorrow, I'm running. Hopefully a 5K too. I'll be the happiest person ever when i can actually run the whole 5K. I know it's going to take time. And probably not before the race. But it's something I want to do.

Food today: Chicken kebab, 1 slice of toast, 2 slices of non fat cheese, 2 cups of coffee, 2 hard boiled eggs, slices deli ham, more chicken kebab! :)

Sorry my posts are short and not too interesting. It's getting busy around here!

Have a good one!

5K Run!

I did a 5K this morning! Wow! Can't believe it :) - Well, it was jogging/fast walking, but I actually did it. Which is great. Felt tired. I'm a bit sore in the legs, but i am super happy! And i feel great! It feels great to run. I got a feel to what the 5K is going to be in a couple of weeks. Hopefully by that time I can actually run it without stopping or just stopping a few times.

With more and more training/runs I am sure I'll get there!

Good weekend. Nothing new with my weight. I'm exactly the same. The last couple of days I had BBQ'd everything. Beef Kebab, Chicken Kebab, Baba Ghanouj (egg plant grilled), some salad (with no dressing). Pretty good.

I need to start making slight changes to my diet. As I need different kind of food for my training/run. It'll be mostly Dukan on PV. Hopefully that won't affect my main challenge of losing 10 Lbs by the 27th of Aug.

I'll catch up on your blogs in a bit. hope you're all doing well.

Guess What?!

Before I tell you my big news let me tell you about my day :) - I lost 0.4 lbs, which isn't too bad. Still going strong and in the right direction.

I had a "kinda" bad cut this evening opening a can of beans. Blood everywhere. Was pretty deep, so to the E.R my husband took me!  The location of the cut made it hard for stitches (close to the nail, sideways, as if around the finger). So, they "glued it!" hehe, cool. I would rather have that than stitches! So, all is well now, just finding it really hard to type. So, I'm just going to mention my big surprise before I end this post (which is taking forever to type!:)).

Last night I signed up for a 5K run in 2.5 weeks!! Yep. Did it and I already did my first training fast walk/jog this morning! I did 1.5 miles. Felt really happy and proud of myself. Started my run at 6:30 a.m. to run! Happy happy happy!  I should do at least 40 minutes a day of jogging/walking, until i reach my goal of actually running 5K. Hopefully I will get there in time for the race (on the 19th of Aug). My good friend, who is a runner is supporting and encouraging me! Soo blessed to have her!

Normal day food wise. The usual. Didn't mess up. Hopefully scales go down in the morning.

Have a great Dukan Day!

Day 5 Of Challenge - PV

Daily Weight Loss: .8 Lbs
Total Loss on the challenge: 3.8 lbs

So, 3.8 Lbs in 4 days. Pretty cool. Happy about it. Hopefully it'll keep going this way!

Breakfast: Coffee w/ non fat creamer , Activia light
Lunch: Mexican salad (beef seasoned with Mexican seasoning w/ lettuce, tomatoes and a little avocado w/ fat free sour cream).
Dinner: 1/2 slice of pita bread w/ 2 slices of non fact cheese (i know! shouldn't have)

I officially have a cold. Didn't have the energy to cook today. So just had whatever was there around me.  Drinking a lot of water and tea. Hoping it'll help the cold a bit.

That's about it for today. Hopefully this weekend I will do well with food. Weekends are the hardest! - But feeling pretty good so far about my weight loss. Keep in mind, I still didn't get to the lowest weight since I've begun the Dukan! Hopefully soon.

Have a good one!

Day 4 of Challenge - PP

Same weight this morning. Still got 7 Lbs to go. 

I'm not worried or upset about not losing weight today. I lost 3 Lbs in 3 days, which is pretty good :)

Breakfast: Cup of coffee w/ non fat creamer
Snack: Activia Light
Early Lunch: 2 hot dogs w/ 2 eggs
Snack: 1 non fat/ sugar free Jell-O chocolate mousse
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken (No skin) - Store Bought. w/ a little non fat yogurt.
Snack: (probably having an oat bran cookie or/and chocolate mousse.

Felt a little tired today. Not from the diet, but I feel like i'm coming down with a cold/flu. Hopefully it's not! I hate getting colds!

Have a good day!

Day 3 on my challenge - 7 Lbs to go & PB Review

Lost another pound this morning. Felt good. Still feel it's water weight, but at least it's coming off. 
Not sure now how my plan should be. How many days on PP? before going to cruise? This will be my 3rd day. Should I start with PV tomorrow? or do another 2 days of PP? Any thoughts?
Thanks for your comments on my last post. Your encouragement and thoughts help me big time. Yes, a little exercise goes a long way & you guys are right. The first few minutes and getting to start is the hardest. Once you've started, it feels great and you keep going. Need to keep that in mind! :)

WF Peanut Butter Spread Review:
Oh, and for you who asked about the WF peanut butter spread. Again, not your real thing. It's creamy, doesn't REALLY taste like peanut butter, a little sweet I'd say. But it works.  Yesterday I used it as a dipping sauce for my chicken. What I did is I put a little in the pan, mixed it (made it smoother) and added some fresh Ginger to it. It did kinda feel like I was eating Thai food -well, at least it was pretty close! :)  - I would recommend it as it is a different texture/tast. Something different to try for sure.
Breakfast: coffee w/ non fat creamer
Snack: 1 slice of non fat Cheddar cheese & 1 slice of fat free Bologna && cup of coffee
Lunch: 3 slices of non fat Swiss cheese & 3 slices of fat free Bologna
Dinner: 2 thinly cut beef steaks w/ WF Ketchup & Mayo

I'm really full right now, but I need to have my oat bran. I'll probably have an Oat Bran cookie w/ some tea later on "hopefully" :)

I had some "tummy problems" today (I'll spare you the details) but that's why I didn't really have a proper lunch/breakfast. But managed to eat dinner. Hopefully it'll sit! :)

Hope you're all having a good Dukan Day.

Hey, I'm here!

Sorry for not posting the last few days. I have a post (that I didn't publish) with the results after my 1st day on PP. I didn't post it because I was, well, surprised, upset, disappointed, a bit embarrassed and because I decided to put everything behind me and move on.

What happened that after a really good day on PP, the next morning I weighed in and was really surprised that my weight had gone up `1.8 lbs! UP i said, not down! Which is very surprising to me because I usually use that much on my 1st return to PP. So, i felt all the above! And ended up not publishing the post.

Later that night, I got my period. So, in a way, it kinda explained everything. (well at least I hope that was the reason I added the weight).

Decided that I will start my challenge when I'm done with it. Because I really want to feel good and positive about everything. So, now, I'm done. And today I start my challenge. I know that a few of my Dukan friends wanted to join in on the challenge. Did you guys start? :) - I still have to read your posts. I had a really busy weekend. Fun, but busy.  I didn't check my weight the last couple of days. I think I'm afraid because of the weight gain a few days ago!!! :) - But I'll get over it, no worries!

It always feels good to start on a Monday anyways, right? :)

So, I'll be posting again at the end of the day about the progress of my 1st day of my 10Lbs challenge!

Gotta do this! I need to do this!! :)
