Day 11
I didn't do real well today! I really want to stick with this but sometimes it is hard. If I get off too much though, I know that I'll never get back on.
I had my breakfast omelete which I will now stop as I saw them make it--butter!! I have to figure out something for breakfast. It may just have to be my teaspoon of oat bran.
For dinner I could not decide where I wanted my salad from. I chose convenience at Schlotzky's and regretted it. They use too much spinach which I am not crazy about. It tured out to be an okay salad but it wasn't my favorite. I seriously considered calling in to Cotton Patch and picking up the grilled chicken and salad. When I get back from Spring Break, I may have to do that!! Then I was still hungry so I ate some of the halos that were in my closet. Yes, that is definitely not on Phase II.
One of my colleagues mentioned today that high protein is linked to cancer in the news recently. That kind of stopped me in my tracks about this diet. In my mind I started weighing the consequences. Cancer, diabetes, stroke--which one should I avoid the most??

Day 10 - End of Phase 1
Day 10
Had my usual breakfast of omelet at school. Missed lunch. For dinner, I had chicken tenders and some chili from Wendy's. It's really hard to make good choices when you are working as much as I am lately. AND not having a kitchen to whip up some scrambled eggs or get a rotisserie chicken which always sounds good. Best 2 meals that I've had during this phase were Cotton Patch (grilled chicken) and Ralph and Kakoos (grilled shrimp and maui maui). I haven't a clue as to whether I've lost weight this week as I can't weigh until the weekend, but I've starved a few times so surely I have:-)

Days 7-9
Day 7
Yesterday, somehow I stepped wrong and really messed up my knee--worse than it has ever been. I think I said earlier that the primary reason I'm trying to lose weight is for knee replacement sometime soon--probably in the fall. Hope I can make it until then.
We had scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast. Sausage is probably on the Dukan Don't list! For lunch I made chicken salad with boiled eggs, a few chopped pickles and onions, and a dollop of mayonnaise. Yes, I know mayonnaise shouldn't be on there. We are planning grilled pork steaks for dinner. Unfortunately, we will more than likely grill those in the house :-( As you can see in the picture, it is a pretty dreary day here, but at least it isn't as cold as some places!
I did weigh this morning and I've lost 7 pounds since I started a week ago tomorrow! WooHoo!!!
Day 8
I weighed again this morning and am very pleased with the results if I do say so myself. My whole goal is 70 pounds. I think I'll be successful with PT after the surgery at that weight.
For breakfast, I had 2 eggs and 4 pieces of turkey bacon. I could probably do with 2 pieces, but my sweet husband cooks it for me so I hate to tell him that!
We missed lunch today, but about 5, we shared grilled maui maui, 4 grilled shrimp, and a 6 oz steak. It was delicious at my favorite place. Very hard to do, but I told them no potatoes, no bread, no rice. Just grilled veggies for my hubby and we shared the meat. I've decided that this 10 day Phase I really makes you crave vegetables. They looked so good! I'm going to have the biggest salad on Thursday!
Day 9
Started the day late as there was ice everywhere. Had breakfast with Dave around 9:30 then got ready to
come back to work. We had scrambled eggs and I had 4 slices turkey bacon. For dinner, I took my friend Karin out for her birthday. I had grilled chicken and a salad. Yes, I sort of blew Day 9 with the salad. But it was soooo good. On Thursday, it won't be blowing it! Only 1 more day in Phase I--moving on to Phase II.
