Ate:
Fried eggs & egg whites
2 pieces dry sourdough toast
Chicken Alfredo pasta
Grapes grapes wonderful grapes
Iced coffee usual
Water
Apple
4T peanut butter
Nachos
Hummus & pita
1/4 BLT
Pita chips
S'mores Goldfish
Bites of stale BK Cinnabon
TWO Coke Zeros (BAD!)
I am shocked that I lost weight! It must be baby's feeding schedule. She has to be in a growth spurt bc she's eating like a newborn again. She'll get up only once at night (sometimes twice) but once 5-6 am hits, she wants to eat every half hour until about 8 am. Crazy!
Tomorrow I surely won't be so lucky. Fab Big Sis2 came into town and insisted on going out for appetizers! I wasn't even hungry but I dug right in!!! Dang it! Oh well, it was fun. :) And she bought!!

159.0(2)
Exercise: nothing really, but I took 4 kids 3 places & after getting in & out of the car 3x, I'm ready for my nap
I ate:
Fried eggs from my NEW frying pan!
Trader Joe's gluten free granola
Soy milk
1/2 Potbelly pizza sandwich (shared w/my 4-yo -- see pic of him rubbing his belly bc it was sooo good!!)
1/2 small bag salt & vinegar chips
Coke 0 + a splash of Cherry Coke
Small Red Mango cake batter froyo w/M&Ms & Butterfinger (I weakened) (while the froyo was awesome, it was really just a vehicle to get the candy into my mouth)
Iced coffee (the usual)
Water
Life cereal w/Truvia (DANGER ZONE - I've been known to eat a whole box of Life in 1 day.)
Soy milk
Cocoa Puffs Brownie Bites (I've gone off the deep end)
Ugh. Today turned into a carb binge. :( I hope I can do better tomorrow.
I'm glad I didn't gain today bc yesterday seemed high calorie. I'm trying to let hunger be my guide but it's getting harder to be "good." After Red Mango today, who knows what tomorrow holds!! And the problem is, I want more when I eat junk. More and more and more. It doesn't do to have a little! So I hope I can stop now. But we HAD to go to RM, bc it closed in Indy and Drew has to get his fix when he visits!! We even went before lunch so we wouldn't ruin our dessert appetites. ;) I blame eating the Life, too, on Drew. I normally don't allow it in my house!!

159.0
Exercise: Walked to/from kids' school (a measly 6 blocks)
I ate:
Iced coffee w/Truvia & skim milk
1 bite of a cranberry white chocolate chip cookie (WOW)
1 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch hi-protein cereal
Vanilla soy milk
Caesar salad w/croutons
Italian beef w/Hawaiian rolls
Apple
3.5 T chocolate peanut butter (lost control - finished it off!)
Blackberries, raspberries & strawberries (my fab nephew keeps rinsing and serving the berries, making it very easy to eat them!!)
I really like Truvia! It's probably not as good for you as stevia, but its consistency is like real sugar. That's really important when it comes to things like cereal. I should probably just use stevia in my coffee though, since I like the taste and I'm just dissolving it. I wonder if you can bake with Truvia?
I was able to resist Husband's cookies last night!! Yay!! But this morning he was mourning the fact that I couldn't at least taste the delicious, new flavor (cranberry white chocolate chip) - so I had one (rather large) bite. He was right - they ARE fabulous!! Jewel has some goooood cookies.
I had gluten in all 3 meals today & I think it made me sick. I've got to try to avoid it tomorrow!

Day 10 - 159.6
Ate:
Fried eggs - 2 yolks n a few whites
2 Iced coffees w skim milk n stevia
Small apple
2T peanut butter
Triple Delight (Chinese)
36 oz water
Uncrustable (what can I say - trying to clear out the freezer!)
I am down 3.5# since Friday! What an accomplishment, since I traveled & went to a wedding & grad party. I tried mostly to not overeat and not eat the junk. I had A piece of cake + a few bites. A piece of fruit dunked in chocolate. I wanted to park myself by that chocolate fountain and at the time, it actually seemed important to my happiness. ;-) But I knew how badly I'd feel and how mad I'd be at myself later so I didn't do it!! Yay!

Diet Starts TOMORROW!
Weight: 164(!)
Exercise: Officially: None (Unofficially: Walked around school carnival w baby in Bjorn)
We start tomorrow! I gained weight today. Ugh. I hope this will be the last of THAT!
I was reading Dukan's book (The Dukan Diet) yesterday and I found a couple of quotes I really liked:
"...what overweight people most hate and simply cannot do is decide for themselves when and how they are going to deprive themselves of food."
"For big eaters, the very idea of having to ration their happiness [i.e., food] is preposterous."
We always say we're turning over a new leaf, but how quickly we go back to our old habits without some structure. Often the very same day!!
I've been in a carb rut lately. Cereal (one of my all-time favorite foods), pita chips (LOVE!), regular chips (My 8-yo got mad at me for finishing off the bag yesterday. My defense: "I LOST CONTROL!"). Partly bc I'm nursing and the baby can't tolerate a lot of foods, like dairy and a lot of vegetables. But I'm going to try to reintroduce a little of each thru the diet. She's 3 months now -- maybe she's ready for it!
10:20 pm Just went to my 3rd grocery store. Think I'm finally ready. Couldn't resist some treats tho!

Actually Reading the Book. Starting Saturday!
Weight: 162.0
Exercise: Walked 40 min.
Husband & I are starting Dukan on Saturday! I read that people always start on Mondays and that you should pick a different day bc Mondays suck already. We picked Saturday bc it's a holiday weekend so that'll give us 3 days at home/together to establish some habits. H is especially worried about sticking to the rules at work. He hates bringing his lunch and needs an outing midday.
A friend loaned me the book (The Dukan Diet by Dr. Pierre Dukan), so I'll start reading it today. I think learning the physiology / reasoning behind the plan will help motivate me. I'll share the highlights as I learn.
Later!
