Survived yesterday and today seems to be going well too! Hopefully it'll end this way. I didn't check the scales. Will update later on that.
Breakfast: 1 cup of tea with non fat creamer & 2 Boiled Eggs
Snack: 2 slices non fat cheese
Lunch: Miracle Rice with Alfredo Sauce and grilled chicken from yesterday. (I hate leftover chicken!).
Snack: Cup of Coffee w/ non fat creamer
Dinner: Miracle Rice w/ cooked yogurt with Lamb

Overall a good day. Although about mid day I started getting a headache! Probably from the PP days. But it passed and I survived yet again another day!

It's me again! Cruise Phase PV
Things were pretty good today. I survived the Birthday Party. Although it was a PV day, there was absolutely nothing I could eat! No vegetables! Can you believe that? :) - Just some fruit, chips, pizza and cake. I had none of that. I just kept busy with my son, trying to feed him while he was playing. So, here I am again. Surviving Pizza for the 2nd time :)
Throughout the day, i had some slices of turkey ham, 1 wedge of laughing cow fat free cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, eggs, Iced Latte, Tea, some water (need to drink more for sure), roasted chicken (no skin).
Good day overall and I feel happy and satisfied - tummy wise! ;)
Hope you all had a great day!

11 Days On Dukan! Cruise Phase (PV)
Morning Weigh in: 184.4 Lbs
No Change
Total weight loss: 4 Lbs
No change. hmmm, well, the only thing I can think of is I need to start exercising and it's (TTOM). I don't think I'm going to worry about it, yet. (Although, to be very honest, I'm bummed!). Maybe I need another mini attack phase? Any thoughts out there about this? Should I do that? Or should I just be patient and see what happens?
My days keep getting crazier! But in a fun way :) - Having fun with friends and their children (who are about my boys age 3 and 1). It was a HOT summer day here in Seattle (for a change!) :) and we had the pool out, kids were playing , jumping and we were enjoying them. The only problem, is that on these crazy days, I don't get the chance to look after me! Meaning food. I had snacks and a lot of things ready for everybody, but as usual, didn't think about my food. So I ended up snacking most of the day (All Dukan Approved Food!) :)
Here's my food log for the day:
2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup of coffee w/creamer, raw carrots, raw broccoli, 2 sausages, lots of water (it was 80 degrees) , 2 mozzarella non fat cheese sticks, 1 grilled chicken kebab stick, mixed mini bell peppers.
Eleven days on the Cruise Phase, 5 days on Attack and only 4 pounds. I was hoping for more but I have to admit if i weren't on this diet, I wouldn't have even lost 4 pounds. I'd probably be gaining! :) So, here I am again, looking at the bright side!

Day 10 - Cruise Phase (PP)
MorningWeigh In: 184.4 Lbs
Daily Gain. 0.2 Lbs
Total Weight Loss : 4 Lbs
Not talking about the slight weight gain. Moving on. Moving forward.
Here's my day:
Breakfast:
- Cup of coffee w/ creamer
- 2 hard boiled eggs
- 1 tbl Labaneh
- 2 slices of fat free turkey (Oscar Meyer)
Snack:
- 2 Slices of fat free turkey (Oscar Meyer)
- 1 non fat cheese wedge
Lunch:
- 1 can of Tuna
- 1/4 cup of non fat yogurt
Snack:
- Non Fat Sugar Free Jell-o
Dinner:
- Hot Soup w/ beef and miracle Noodles
- 1 slice of fat free Turkey
Pretty good day. Didn't really feel hungry throughout the day. Spent the afternoon running around with my two little toddlers in the backyard and I actually surprised my husband with mowing the lawn! :)
I know that I need to start experimenting more with my recipes. I just am either tired of cooking more than one meal. For me & for the family. But I know I should prepare more for my food & have it kinda ready so I don't have to worry about it. And so I don't get bored. The good thing is that I really like the soup that I make. It's fast & easy. So it's a good meal on those days where things get crazy. Surprisingly, there's a lot of "crazy" days lately! :) Not complaining, keeps us busy!
Have a good one!

Day 9 - Cruise Phase (PV)
Morning Weigh in: 184.2 Lbs (no no no no)!
Daily Gain : 0.4 Lbs
Total Weight Loss: 4.2 Lbs
Seriously? a GAIN?? Ohh, i was soo happy to be in the 183's and now back to the 184s. Could blame this on a few things but still, doesn't make me feel better.
Like, not enough food, digestive problems (constipation!) & almost that "TOM" . Between the last two reasons I feel very bloated and almost going to explode.
Ok, nothing I can do about the gain right now. I have to move on and concentrate on having a good day. After all, it's father's day!! Yay :) - We are going to celebrate it with the family. Big dinner and all. I made sure there's something for me to have, so i won't be going eating Non Dukan food. Good thing it's a PV day. Makes it easier for sure.
Got to go now and prepare breakfast for my husband (in bed!) & let the boys give him his gift! Excited to see if he'll like it! :)
Happy Father's Day to all the great and wonderful dad's out there!
Hello, it's me again (I usually post the first part of my blog in the morning right after I weigh in! - Then finish it at the end of the day, when I'm supposedly done eating!) :)
So, here's how my day went :)
Breakfast:
- Cup of coffee w/ creamer
- 2 boiled eggs
Lunch:
- 2 home made burgers
- Sauteed Mushrooms - Using one spray of Olive Oil
- 2 slices of tomato
Dinner:
- 2 round tip steaks - slowly cooked
- 1/2 cup of non fat yogurt
- Mashed Cauliflower w/ a little non fat milk and 2 tbl non fat cream cheese
Sorry, got to cut this short now... Have a great day & I hope you had a wonderful Father's Day with your loved ones.

Day 8 - Cruise Phase (PP)
Morning Weigh In: 183.8 Lbs (YAY)
Daily Weight Loss: 0.6 Lbs
Total Weight Loss: 4.6 Lbs
Such a wonderful feeling. Too go down to the 183's! It's been a long time. And extremely happy that my PV day didn't affect my weight loss this time around :)
Breakfast:
- Cup of Coffee w/ Creamer
- 2 scrambled Eggs w/ 1 sausage
Snack:
- Cup of Tea
Lunch:
- (Check notes below)! :)
Dinner:
- 2 (thin) chicken breasts .. breaded with 2 tbl of Oat Bran
- A little light mayo & ketchup with it
- 2 Laughing cow non fat cheese wedges
A happy day for me for sure. The fact that I lost a little weight is fantastic. And really, it just made my day. I kinda skipped lunch today because I went to a fashion show. After the show they had an open buffet and guess what? I had NOTHING! There wasn't anything that I could eat so I just ended up having a cup of coffee :) - pretty cool, ha? lol I'm proud of myself for not digging in the buffet. I usually like buffets and love to try everything there. I stuck to my grounds and had good self control.
Since I had an early dinner, I think I'm going to need some snacks for later. But I promise, they'll be Dukan friendly! :)
Have a great day everybody!

Day 7 - Cruise Phase (PV)
Morning Weigh In: 184.4 lbs
Daily Weight Loss: 1 Lbs
Total Weight Loss: 4 Lbs
Yay! One pound down. Feeling gooooooooood about it :) .. Hope I can keep it up. I would like to thank all my Dukan friends who are giving me advice and more knowledge about the Dukan Diet. I thought I knew what I needed to know, but I don't. If it weren't for you guys I would have done it somehow wrong. Thank you!
Breakfast:
- Oat Bran Cookie (A new favorite for me! - Quick, easy and delicious!)
- Non Fat Latte
Lunch:
- 3 scrambled eggs w/ bacon
Snack:
- Non Fat Yogurt
Dinner:
- Dukan Pizza (cauliflower crust w/ egg whites) topped with sausage, mushrooms & a little cheese
- Glass of wine
Didn't feel hungry today. It's probably the good start with the Oat Bran cooking. I LOVE IT! It's soo easy to make and it tastes really really good. You guys should try it.
I know, i had wine! But we had friends over for Pizza night and i managed to stay completely away from Pizza and made my own version. That took some effort really, but I passed the test! :) - but not the glass of wine test! :)
I feel really good about my weight loss today, hopefully tomorrow it won't go back up (which has been the case after a PV day). Wish me luck! :)
Have a great day!

Day 6 - Cruise Phase (PP)
Morning weigh in: 185.4 Lbs
No weight change
Total Weight Loss: 3 Lbs
Hmmm, still the same weight although I think I did pretty well yesterday. Things I need to concentrate on:
- Exercising
- Eating Oat Meal
- Drinking more water
- Less Dairy - More Protein
Breakfast:
- Cup of Tea w/ non fat creamer
- 2 hard boiled eggs
Snack:
- 2 slices of Black Forrest Ham
- 2 non fat cheese wedges (Laughing Cow Light/Swiss)
- Cup of coffee w/ creamer
Lunch:
- Soup w/ Beef pieces & Miracle Noodle (Seasoned with Soy Sauce, Ginger & hot sauce)
Snack:
- Non Fat Latte
- Activia Strawberry Light
Dinner:
- 4 mini skewers of Kiftah
- 1/4 cup of Non Fat Yogurt
Snack:
- Cup of Tea
- Oat Cookies - recipe here
A really good day for me. Everything was going well "in general". Didn't have time to prepare/cook food for me, but I did have a few things ready in the freezer. Like the kiftah skewers, which i usually have extra for days like this.
I still didn't try the Oat cookies, but I know later on in the evening I'm going to drink a cup of tea and I will make the cookies then. I'll give you my opinion on them tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I might have a challenge. I'll be out and about all day with a group of mommy photographers. We'll be going to a very nice park area in "Seattle" and take pictures of our little ones, nature and whatever we want. The challenging part is pack a satisfying Dukan snack. Not sure what I'll take yet, but I'll have it all ready tonight so i don't have to rush into everything in the morning (and therefore not make good dukan choices!) :) - I think i have things under control for the time being! :)
Have a wonderful Dukan day!

Day 4 Cruise Phase - (PP)
Morning weigh in: 186 Lbs
No change on weight this morning
Total Weight Loss: 2.4 Lbs
Disappointed. 4 days into cruise and I just managed to gain weight and not lose any. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Got to get back to basics and try harder. Try and mix up my food. Today is a PP day. I would hope to find a drop in my weight tomorrow.
Here's how my day went:
Breakfast:
- Cup of Tea
- 2 Hard Boiled Eggs
- 1 Tbls Labaneh
Lunch:
- Home made beef burger w/ a little ketchup
- 1 non fat laughing cow cheese wedge
Snack:
- 2 bites of donuts
- Green Tea
- Cup of Coffee
Dinner:
- Miracle Noodle Soup w/ chicken bits (hot sauce, soy sauce & ginger)
- A small bread bun :(
Ahh, i just gave in and had 2 bites of donuts and the bread later on. Why why? I wasn't even feeling hungry. (i guess that's why I'm over weight! I eat when I'm not hungry!)
On the other hand, I did pretty well with water today!! Yay! Had lots to drink.
Oh well, tomorrow is a new day. Have a great day all.

Day 3 - Cruise Phase (PV)
Morning Weigh In: 186 Lbs
Another Gain of 0.2
With all the cheese I had yesterday I kinda expected this. I'll be on track today. Tomorrow the scales go down!
Breakfast:
- 2 Hard Boiled Eggs
- 1 Tbl Labaneh (It's an Arabic spread, in between cream cheese and yogurt)
Lunch:
- Chicken Lettuce Wraps - those were really good. I enjoyed eating them
(Roasted Chicken w/ a little mayo, slices of cucumber and tomato's wrapped in iceberg lettuce) - add a little hot sauce to it, umm, yummy.
- Diet Pepsi
Snack:
- 3 fat free laughing cow cheese
- 1 slices of black Forrest Ham
Dinner:
- Cheese & Black Forrest Ham Pizza (Find the recipe here).
- Diet Pepsi
My thoughts on the Pizza recipe:
This recipe was great. It tasted really good. I followed the exact Cauliflower Dough recipe and then added some tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, Irish cheese and black Forrest Ham. Was delicious. BUT i wasn't able to get to a hard crust following the directions mentioned. I'm thinking that maybe I need to keep it longer in the oven to get the crust before adding the toppings. Will give it another try soon and see if i can get the dough to be hard.
Overall a good day. Tried to eat regularly on time which definitely helps with the hunger. I have to drink more water. For some reason i keep forgetting! As the weather gets warmer I'm sure I'll start drinking more.

Day 2 - Cruise Phase (PP)
Morning Weigh In : 185.8 Lbs (YIKES!)
Daily weight GAIN : 1.8 Lbs
Wow. I kinda felt that I might add a little weight (going to Cruise Phase) but 1.8 Lbs! That was a shocker! I'm a bit disappointed, but it won't slow me down. I'm motivated enough this time around that I'll keep going!
I didn't mention before, but I plan on doing 1 day PV then 1 day PP. So, today is a PP day. Hopefully I can make up for the weight gain today.
Here's my food for the day:
- Non Fat Latte
- 3 egg omelet w/ cheese
- 3 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 small home made burgers (used a little light mayo and ketchup)
- 2 slices Black Forrest Ham
- A "lick" of cream cheese frosting!! Just had to do that after baking/decorating cupcakes!
- Cheese Pizza. Dough made from oat bran (not too sure about it ... didn't like it, didn't hate it, could've been better).
I had a lot of dairy today. Everything cheese! I guess it was the easiest snack. I have to moderate my dairy intake for sure.
Another thought: I used to post recipes and food ideas when i first started but haven't been doing that lately. Sorry about that. Just really busy and barely finding time to update on my progress. But I'll sort things out pretty soon and hopefully I'll start giving you ideas/food recipes soon.

Day 1 - Cruise Phase
Morning Weight: 184 Lbs
Total Weight Loss: 4.4 Lbs
First day on the Cruise Phase. Another hectic day! Been having a lot of these days lately! Oh well, it keeps me busy so i'm not really complaining. I thought i'd had more veggies today, but because i was on the go a lot, i mainly had protein.
I had:
- Store bought Roasted Chicken (part of the breast and a thigh)
- 1/2 tomato
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 small spoon of Nutella (bad bad bad)
- 3 slices of Mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- Non Fat Chai Latte
Trying to drink a lot of water. And again, i just realized I haven't been eating any Oat Bran! Will try and remember that.
Haven't been exercising lately, which is unfortunate. My schedule has been really awkward and I need to work more on trying to find some time to work out.
Total Weight Loss: 4.4 Lbs
First day on the Cruise Phase. Another hectic day! Been having a lot of these days lately! Oh well, it keeps me busy so i'm not really complaining. I thought i'd had more veggies today, but because i was on the go a lot, i mainly had protein.
I had:
- Store bought Roasted Chicken (part of the breast and a thigh)
- 1/2 tomato
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 small spoon of Nutella (bad bad bad)
- 3 slices of Mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- Non Fat Chai Latte

Way too slow! - Cruise Phase- PP
Morning Weigh in : 188 Lbs
Yes, weight is going down, but so awfully slowly. Not the diet problem, but me. Haven't stuck to Dukan 100% since i started it! I'm going to do it today. I'm going to make it my 1st REAL Dukan PP Day! Yes, that's the plan!
Breakfast:
- Cup of coffee with non fat milk
- Non fat fruit yogurt
Exercise:
- 1 hr of cycling/spinning class
- 20 minutes of cardio work out (Elliptical)
Lunch:
- Miracle Pasta with a little soy sauce, topped with a lean hamburger which was also topped with a fried egg! Yummy! That was really good!
Snack:
- 1 stick of non fat cheese
Dinner:
- Lunch was soo good that i made it again! It was delicious the 2nd time around too. Maybe I'll have this tomorrow too! :)
Snack:
- Non fat chocolate mousse
- a couple of bites of banana cream pie (without the cream, just a little crust)
I wanted to go through the day with NO mistakes! Didn't work out at the end :( i couldn't resist dessert after dinner (we had some people over).
Going to the gym was good today. I was a little weak though as i was recovering from a stomach bug or something since yesterday. So i definitely felt it at the gym, but i survived it! :)

No exercise today! Woke up with a really bad headache that lasted most of the afernoon! On the good side, i signed up for Bikram Hot Yoga!! Yes, i'm going to try it. I've read a lot about it and it's one of the best exercises to lose a lot of calories! So, why not try it?! right?? :) Did any of you try it? any thoughts on it?
Hopefully tomorrow i can make it to the gym and make up for today's lack of exercise!
Have a great day!
