Day 85

Weight: 12 st 6 lbs
Weight gain: 2.8 lbs
Weight gain this week: 2.8 lbs in 14 days (weeks 13 and 14 - off diet)
Weight loss to date: 27 lbs in 84 days (on diet)

Lunch: 3 slices granary bread; egg mayonnaise; tuna mayonnaise; salad; fruit; 1 mini chocolate muffin; orange juice; tea

Dinner: 2 slices granary bread; cheese and tomato; 2 shrewsbury biscuits; glass of squash; glass of wine

Verdict:  Not bad - two weeks off, cream teas, takeaways, etc. and put on less than 3 lbs.  Hopefully that should come off again fairly quickly now.  Not that the first day back 'on diet' was at all Dukan - was on the train most of the day (travelling to and from London) and food-wise it was sandwiches, cake and biscuits from the buffet . . .  Back to it properly tomorrow!

Time Out!

Weight: 12 st 3.2 lbs
Weight gain: 1 lbs
Weight gain this week: 2 lbs in 7 days (week 12)
Weight loss to date: 29.8 lbs in 84 days

Verdict: Well that's my first week 'on-diet' where I've gained overall - can't say I was exactly trying mind you. Having a couple of weeks off for holidays now - it'll be interesting to see how much I gain!  Back in 2 weeks . . .

Sunday, 12 September 2010

Day 84

Weight: 12 st 2.2 lbs
Weight gain: 0 lbs
Weight gain this week: 1 lb in 6 days
Weight loss to date: 30.8 lbs in 83 days

Breakfast: 1 rhubarb mullerlight yoghurt; mug of tea

Lunch: chicken curry; rice; oven chips; mini naan; apple pie and custard; glass of wine

Dinner: chicken and vegetable stir-fry; oat-bran galette; stewed apples and ice cream; diet coke

Verdict: Static today - result!  Tomorrow is not likely to be as good though!

Saturday, 11 September 2010

Day 83

Weight: 12 st 2.2 lbs
Weight gain: 0.4 lbs
Weight gain this week: 1 lbs in 5 days
Weight loss to date: 30.8 lbs in 82 days

Breakfast: bowl of raisin wheats; mug of tea

Lunch: bowl of raisin wheats; 4 seafood sticks; 1 apple; mug of tea; mug of hot chocolate

Dinner: chicken and vegetable stir-fry; roast potatoes; diet coke; glass of wine

Verdict: And I was right not to expect much - looks like this week is going to be weight gain all the way.  At least it's not that much - if I can keep it below 2lbs a week gain for the next couple of weeks as well I'll be happy enough!

Friday, 10 September 2010

Day 82

Weight: 12 st 1.8 lbs
Weight gain: 0.4 lbs
Weight gain this week: 0.6 lbs in 4 days
Weight loss to date: 31.2 lbs in 81 days

Breakfast: 1 rhubarb mullerlight yoghurt; glass of water

Lunch: 6 seafood sticks; cucumber; 1 banana custard mullerlight yoghurt; glass of water

Dinner: falafel; courgette, potato and aubergine stew with pilau rice; diet coke

Verdict: Not unexpected, the weight gain that is.  Was good for most of the day, but had a dinner out with work in the evening and succumbed to the falafel - no wine though (mind you I was driving so can't really take credit for willpower).  Not expecting much of tomorrow's weigh-in!

Thursday, 9 September 2010

Day 81

Weight: 12 st 1.4 lbs
Weight loss: 0.2 lbs
Weight gain this week: 0.2 lbs in 3 days
Weight loss to date: 31.6 lbs in 80 days

Breakfast: 1 banana custard mullerlight yoghurt; glass of water

Lunch: fish pie, new potatoes (not many), salad and peas; diet pepsi; mug of tea

Dinner: prawn stir-fry; oat-bran galette; 1 vanilla mullerlight yoghurt; glass of squash

Verdict: Well it was a loss.  Went out for lunch, and there wasn't really anything Dukan-friendly.  Got a holiday coming up, and as the decision has been made to come off the programme for the duration, and I'm already anticipating future weight gains, I guess the willpower is wavering.  Think this week isn't going to go well . . .

Day 80

Weight: 12 st 1.6 lbs
Weight gain: 0.4 lbs
Weight gain this week: 0.4 lbs in 2 days

Lunch: cucumber and cottage cheese; 1 cherry mullerlight yoghurt; diet pepsi

Snack: 1 (small) brownie square

Dinner: homemade beefburgers; oat-bran galette; 1 apple; glass of squash

Verdict: Gained some today - ho hum.  Diet-wise was a bit better than yesterday anyway, although I did succumb to another brownie.  We also picked our apples (all 12 of them) so had to try one (not bad but could have been sweeter).

Tuesday, 7 September 2010

Lunch: bowl of cereal; 1 vanilla mullerlight yoghurt; glass of water

Dinner: battered fish and oven chips; diet pepsi; small glass of port

Verdict: Well at least it wasn't a weight gain.  There was cake and fruit for a leaving do in work, and then we'd met some friends in the pub and couldn't be bothered cooking so raided the freezer - so much for yesterday's promise to be more disciplined tomorrow!  Must be more disciplined tomorrow . . .

Dinner: chicken and vegetable stir-fry; oat-bran galette; diet pepsi; 

Indulgences: mug of hot chocolate; small glass of cherry liqueur

Verdict: Pleased with that - recovered yesterday's weight gain plus an additional 0.2lbs weight loss.  As noted did have a couple of small 'treats' today though - plus had to resort to cereal in work.  Hoping to make 11 stone something this week - must be more disciplined tomorrow!

Snack: cucumber; cottage cheese; diet pepsi
