0On Sunday I completed my first full marathon!
After doing 8 half-marathons, but too afraid to commit to a full one, I finally did it!
I was determined to do one before I die, and I decided this time in life would be the best time for me, so I stayed dedicated to my training and am now officially a marathon finisher!!
I just thought it'd be good to write down my running history from my Garmin watch so i could see how my progress was:
08/13/11: 5:50mi - 1:02:07
08/19/11: 6:25mi - 1:16:22
08/27/11: 8mi - 1:37:30
09/03/11: 10mi - 1:53:24
09/08/11: 2.09mi - 23:30
09/11/11: 13.66mi - 2:44:49
09/17/11: 8mi - 1:34:42
09/24/11: 16mi - 3:28:54
10/02/11: SJ Rock N Roll Half Marathon 2:21:50
10/09/11: 16:73 - 3:28:51
10/14/11: 3mi - 29:13
10/16/11: Nike Women's Half Marathon 2:24:50
10/22/11: 8.11mi - 1:41:40
10/29/11: 20mi - 4:25:43
11/02/11: 2.86mi - 34:31
11/05/11: 10mi - 2:02:23
11/07/11: 4.13mi - 44:23
11/12/11: 16mi - 3:43:00
11/16/11: 5.18mi - 56:00
11/18/11: 21mi: 4:24:30 but with walking 22mi - 4:40:58
11/24/11: 4mi - 47:07
11/26/11: 8.mi - 1:29:03
11/29/11: 5:35 - 59:36
12/02/11: 3.43mi - 39:30
12/04/11: 26.31mi 4:48:34
Some of the times may be slower due to me not stopping my watch at the end of my run where I walk a bit after, so some may be slower than actuals.

Day 133
I'm still alive! I just had no motivation to blog the past couple weeks.
I have to sleep really soon but a quick recap:
The youth retreat I was counselor of the weekend of July 29th, totally killed my diet. I thought I could control myself but it got too hard with stuff I shouldn't eat right in front of me all the time. After coming back, it was hard to get back to my diet.
My weight fluctuated up and down and even reached 152 again eeks!
Idk, I just lost motivation and control
Pleasantly surprised, my weigh-in today was: 148.4 !
My motivation came back and I must get back on track again.
However, I've decided that I will still follow the Dukan diet, but it'll be modified as to where, although I will have some PP days, I'm more allowing PV days on a pretty regular basis. I believe I will still lose weight, even if I eat vegetables..
Intake:
Breakfast:
3 tbs of oatbran with egg beaters, van extract, splenda, splash of milk microwaved
1 Pure protein bar 220 cals
lunch: firm tofu (prob about ~1/2 carton?) with balsamic vinegar
1 fage yogurt with honey - didnt have much time this morning to make a lunch other than this
After work: Firm tofu with balsamic vinegar and same garlic seasoning/salt again
~quarter palm size of tri-tip steak with some slice garlic
After judo:
Maybe about 5oz of tri-tip steak, with garlic, balsamic vinegar and garlic seasoning
Exercise:
~2 hrs Judo practice

Day 120
Weigh-in: 150.0 - I was really bad this weekend :T I somehow lost all my motivation and took a fat vacation or something.
Today wasn't that great either.
But my motivation is back now and tomorrow will be (another *sigh*) new start.
It helps that I have meat prepared to eat too. Carbs and nuts were too easily accessible this weekend.. And once I give in a little, I apparently give in a lot.. then go wild.. But I will go down again; can't give up.
I've also banned french fries and potato chips from ever entering my mouth again from this day on.
Exercise:
At least I got 2.5 hours of judo practice in? Weighed 149.6 after practice.

Day 109
Ahh I've been lagging on the posts.. Lately, I've just been so tired that I have no energy or forget to.
Weigh-in: 145.0 - I was surprised!! I thought yesterday's weigh-in was a fluke and was totally expecting a gain today. This is the lowest I've been in years!
Yesterday: 145.2 - very surprised as this as well!
Tuesday: 147.8
I'm also surprised because I haven't been as strict on my diet. I've been cheating here and there :/ Liking taking bites of this and that..
Tuesday, I did really until I ended up eating this Turkey Avocado sandwich that I was going to take home to my brother but I got hungry after work and somehow I made it disappear one bite at a time.. I was only going to take one bite, then just half the sandwich.. but then it gave me motivation to work out hard at the gym and I did 50 minutes on the elliptical, 30+ minutes of weights, and 40 minutes on the treadmill.
Yesterday... my slip ups included bites of korean style curry and rice and cheesecake and red velvet cake (from brother's party on Saturday) that we had at home (ugh). I didn't get to exercise either, because of VBS at church and I was exhausted when I got home.
Today's intake: My Dukan cycle is messed up so I'm just kinda doing a mixed PP & PV.. Starting monday, I will go back to a more set schedule. This week is just too funky.
Breakfast:
1 chicken breast
2tbs of oatbran with little egg beaters, water, splenda, and vanilla extract
Late Lunch:
Chicken breast
2 eggs + 2 egg whites
Triple iced espresso with little soy and nonfat milk
Then I had a few bites of the cheesecake and red velvet again... I went to go throw it out because I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that it's in the garage, and ended up having a few bites... then threw it away. Good riddance!
Tea with little soy - ran out of ff milk at home
Dinner:
Not sure, but they're serving spaghetti for the volunteers at church today...
I'll bring a yogurt and maybe just eat spaghetti sauce?
Spaghetti sauce with 1/.5 meatballs
Few bites of bibimnaengmyun - ah so good.. really wanted to eat a whole one..
Pure protein bar 180 cals and carb wise not too bad, about the same as some ff yogurts
1/2 baked salmon with little bit of dukan friendly quick soondubu with tofu, egg beaters and seasoning and sriracha sauce
Exercise:
Determined to do at least a 30 minute home workout. Disappointment with my lack of exercise lately.
20 minute Butt Bible lower body level 1 workout
20 minute Butt Bible upper body level 1 workout
20 minute Bikini Body total body workout
After coming home from vbs, it took me til 12:30am to start working out. Nonetheless, after I got started I could keep going. These workouts were not too intense, but overall a good workout from Exercise TV, esp doing them at midnight hah.

Day 106
Weigh-in: 148.8
Yesterday: 148.8
Saturday: 148.0
Went up a little, but it's not tooo bad. Saturday Joy, Loice and I went to Napa. I only tasted one wine because I don't like wine so that's only like 3 tablespoons of a dessert wine, at night we ate at a gogi house though so I stayed away from carbs but I had some meat that wouldn't be Dukan approved like the ogyupsal and the banchan and gogi marinades have oil and/or sugar in it.
Yesterday we had a sister's dinner and I had a PV day and did pretty well considering what was available.
Today, I was really bad though so I don't really want to post what I ate because I'm ashamed :(
Brother's party food from Saturday was in the frig and today I just gave in... sigh. but tomorrow is a new day. Sad how I can understand how addicts to drugs or cigarettes feel through my relationship with food..
Exercise:
2.5 hour judo practice
~1 mile run with Loice around her neighborhood
Yesterday: 148.8
Saturday: 148.0

I only tasted one wine because I don't like wine so that's only like 3 tablespoons of a dessert wine, at night we ate at a gogi house though so I stayed away from carbs but I had some meat that wouldn't be Dukan approved like the ogyupsal and the banchan and gogi marinades have oil and/or sugar in it.
Yesterday we had a sister's dinner and I had a PV day and did pretty well considering what was available.
Today, I was really bad though so I don't really want to post what I ate because I'm ashamed :(
Brother's party food from Saturday was in the frig and today I just gave in... sigh. but tomorrow is a new day. Sad how I can understand how addicts to drugs or cigarettes feel through my relationship with food..
Exercise:
2.5 hour judo practice
~1 mile run with Loice around her neighborhood

Day 102
Weigh-in: 150.2 - still a loss so yay - must go below 150 and stay there. Whenever I get in to the 140s it always creeps back up to ~150. Must get away and stay away. I think this is the weight my body likes to be at, but must fight it!
Intake: Attack phase day 3
1 sirloin steak sliced with balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic
late lunch:
2 sliced sirloin steaks with balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic, fresh herbs and garlic seasoning (we just cooked what we had yesterday so these were ready to eat but I enjoyed it heh)
some microwaved egg beaters
After judo practice:
1 whole egg with 1 egg white pan fried
1/3 cup? of egg beaters with water, splenda and vanilla extract
Tough part of eliminating tofu and dairy for the first few days is that I'm pretty much just limited to meat, eggs and a little oatbran.
For the future:
Once I add dairy and tofu back again, my daily limits shall be:
1 carton of tofu
1000g (1kg) of dairy as suggested by the UK dukan diet
Exercise:
2.5 hours of judo practice - lots of sweat!

Day 101
Weigh-in: 150.4 - wow I was pretty shocked it went down so fast.
Intake: Dukan attack phase day 2
Spiced chicken breast
2tbs of oatbran with little egg beaters
1 egg white
1.25 lbs ground turkey with some tandoori seasoning, little garlic salt, fresh herbs, dried parsley, onion powder, 1 whole egg, little egg beaters cooked on the stove top and i ate with balsamic vinegar
1 sirloion steak, well done and eaten with balsamic vinegar
I must say eating no dairy or tofu has been quite tough the passed couple days. I'm used to being able to use FF milk to my eggs or tea and making sauces with ff sourcream. Just one more day of no dairy then I'll be able to add a little bit of dairy and tofu back in my diet again.
Exercise:
none :/ i don't know what's up with me! I used to work out 2-3hrs a day but now i've been pretty lazy.. gotta get back into it again!

Day 100
Ok.. so unfortunately I enjoyed myself a little too much on my week off from my diet. As much as I was determined to calorie count, I kinda just indulged.. ate things I was dying to eat and hadn't in while including pastries, pinkberry, fruit, pizza, pho, pasta, etc... Felt so guilty but it was so good..
On Monday morning I reached 155.4 - oh my... Carbs = Sin. So hard to control what I eat when I'm not super restricted...
Today's weigh-in: 154.6 - meaning I gained 5 lbs in a week TT kinda got me depressed for a bit, but gotta work on it again...
Restarted my Dukan Diet today. So I'm currently in attack phase, but with a little more restriction.
Going for 5 days on Attack, but for the first 3 days, no dairy or tofu either.
Intake: Pretty tough today, esp with the no dairy. Attack phase Day 1.
Breakfast:
2 tbs oatbran as hot cereal
2 bites of chicken breast really quick before running out the door
lunch:
shrimp and ~1 sliced chicken breast with balsamic vinegar
~1 cup egg beaters microwaved
~later 1/3 cup of egg beaters with splenda and vanilla extract
Snack at church during bible study:
pieces of rotisserie chicken breast
Dinner:
1.5 stove top cooked costco kind chicken breast with salt-free thai and indian spices, but I could still taste saltiness, but i think that's from the chx breast itself
4 hardboiled egg whites

Day 96
Eeks! It's been a week since I've updated.
So I quick recap on what went on...
We had a church camping church from Fri-Sunday and even though I ate samgyubsal and bulgogi, I think I did quite well we were fairly active too. On Sunday night, Joy, Loice, Jmoon and I went to a sushi buffet and I stuck to the sashimi, fish, steak and veggies.
On Monday morning I was 149.6. But I kinda ate a lot on Monday. Dukan approved but I kinda went overboard for some reason.. However, i did go to judo practice and so that's ~2.5 hours of exercise.
On Tuesday morning, I think I was 150.0 but I also woke up feeling quite sick which got worse throughout the day. I had a really uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and nausea, I could hardly eat anything. I had to leave the heart clinic early so I could rest up for my shift at PT. I came home and still couldn't eat much but a few tablespoons of oatbran hot cereal. I later went to work from 3-7:30, I really wanted to call in sick but I thought it was too late and thought I could bear it, so I just went. The discomfort came in waves, one minute I'm ok the next I wanted to curl up in fetal position and had a headache as well, but in the end I made it. I came home and took my temp and it actually went to 100.6F and so I just stayed on the couch and watched tv. I had a can of chicken noodle soup and took meds and napped a little and started feeling better. I needed to write a cover letter for a presentation for the next day though so I had to wake up. It was about 11pm by then and I could start to stomach some fruit yogurt and whole wheat bread.
Next morning, I'm a lot better but still nor 100% so I decided to stay off the Dukan diet because I felt queasy thinking of eating meat or tofu or plain yogurt.
Long story short, even yesterday I stayed off Dukan and decided to just watch what I eat.
Also, even though I was still only like 80% recovered from that food poisoning/stomach flu thing I made it through judo practice.
I made a new decision though.
I decided that until next Tuesday, I'm going stay off Dukan and just count calories and that I will restart Dukan starting Tuesday... also because I've been pretty stagnant in my weight lately as well. I must say, it's been nice eating carbs again.. I ate bread, rice, cereal and even a cookie Joy made.. It'd been a while, but it also reminds me of how dangerous they are because when I eat them I want to keep eating them and lot of it.
Anyhowwww
Today's weigh-in: 149.6
Intake:
Activia light blueberry yogurt x2 140

~2 Cups of Fage FF greek yogurt with splenda

This def kept me full for a long time..
I then met up with Samchon who came back from Afghanistan. I took him to go eat Pho and I just ordered an iced tea while he ate. Good to see him though. He seems to be doing fairly well.

1 carton of silken tofu with splenda and vanilla extract

2.5 hours of judo practice - I started judo again! But not at State, so practices are a lottt less intense. But I certainly sweated a lot and got a workout, esp during the long warm-up. I hadn't done judo since February was a bit nervous, but first day back went well. I'm for sure rusty and my technique need a lot of improvement, but I was dying at practice so yay

Day 83
Weigh-in: 147.8 - i'm happy no gain.
Dukan Day 27. Cruise phase day 22. PP day, but I may eat veggies today since it's mama's surprise party
Intake:
1 sunnyside ff strawberry yogurt
1 plain dannon greek plain yogurt with splenda and cinnamon
1 cup egg beaters with nonfat milk, splenda, vanilla extract microwaved
1/2 palm size of that rib meat (yeah, again.. it was there and ready to eat, but i did soak up the excess oil with a napkin)
Small iced coffee with nonfat milk and splenda from Philz
then at mom's bday party, i kinda feasted.. way too much. stuffed!
Stayed away from the carbs, but I cheated a bit gave into some oil
-Kkokko's chicken salad with vinaigrette that contains a little sugar and oil, sesame seeds, and some sliced almonds...
-Skewered veggies and shrimp prepared with no oil
-lots of sliced steak pieces
-slices of pan fried tofu with korean spices
-mustard veggie/shrimp salad thing, but it contained a little mayo..
I celebrated, but I resisted the really yummy desserts and addicting burnt almond cake.
Kkokko was nice enough to bake me some Dukan friendly oat bran brownies though so I wouldn't be sad, haha thank you!
_ I ate way too much though, like uncomfortably...
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a gain tomorrow.
But must get back on track tomorrow!
Exercise:
29 minuted Biggest Loser Last Chance workout
~40 minute brisk walk after dinner ( i even started sweating!)
Nonetheless, today was a good day. I took mom out to get pedicures to distract her while everyone else got the house ready for her surprise bday party. I told her we'd go watch a movie after we go out to dinner with dad. Dad didn't even go golfing today like he usually does and said he had a headache. Joy said she was hanging out with her bf. All in all, everyone was a good actor! After pedis, i took mom to Philz coffee to let her try the mint mojito iced coffee (and also to kill time), she said it was the best coffee she had in her life! I was really happy ^^. I was happy I was able to pull this off and everyone was able to really keep this a surprised. She actually cried with she opened the door to confetti pops and a loud *SURPRISE* for everyone. Yay~!

-Kkokko's chicken salad with vinaigrette that contains a little sugar and oil, sesame seeds, and some sliced almonds...
-Skewered veggies and shrimp prepared with no oil
-lots of sliced steak pieces
-slices of pan fried tofu with korean spices
-mustard veggie/shrimp salad thing, but it contained a little mayo..
I celebrated, but I resisted the really yummy desserts and addicting burnt almond cake.
Kkokko was nice enough to bake me some Dukan friendly oat bran brownies though so I wouldn't be sad, haha thank you!
_ I ate way too much though, like uncomfortably...
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a gain tomorrow.
But must get back on track tomorrow!
Exercise:
29 minuted Biggest Loser Last Chance workout
~40 minute brisk walk after dinner ( i even started sweating!)
Nonetheless, today was a good day. I took mom out to get pedicures to distract her while everyone else got the house ready for her surprise bday party. I told her we'd go watch a movie after we go out to dinner with dad. Dad didn't even go golfing today like he usually does and said he had a headache. Joy said she was hanging out with her bf. All in all, everyone was a good actor! After pedis, i took mom to Philz coffee to let her try the mint mojito iced coffee (and also to kill time), she said it was the best coffee she had in her life! I was really happy ^^. I was happy I was able to pull this off and everyone was able to really keep this a surprised. She actually cried with she opened the door to confetti pops and a loud *SURPRISE* for everyone. Yay~!

It's been a while since my last update. I've just been really tired and passing out early or just too lazy.
This passed weekend, Loice, Joy and I went to Socal for a mini trip. We went to Six Flags Magic Mountain and hung around Ktown.
I stuck to the Dukan diet pretty well and had to miss out on some good food, but I did it. I really really wanted to eat bbang from the Korean bakery where Joy and Loice bought a lot of bread to take home. However, on Friday and Saturday night we ate at all you can eat Korean BBQ. This is where I did cheat a little. I ate veggies on both days including kimchi, pickled and other banchan that prob had some sugar in it, I also and ate rib meat - 생갈비 and 양념갈비, along with 차돌배기 and some sirloin steak. But not too carby, so I think I was okay. It was soo good though. And at least we did a lot of walking at six flags!

Even with lots of coffee, I've been so tired, but then again last night I didn't get much sleep. I'm hoping this super desire to eat all the time with strong cravings is from my period..

Day 71
Weigh-in: 150.2 - Yeah...
Dukan diet day 15: Cruise phase day 10. Pure Protein Day
So lately, I've still been following my diet. But for some reason my appetite has been going out of control and so my quantities have been going up. Also, my cravings have been getting stronger and stronger. AND my body has been soo tired and lethargic... so I haven't really been working out :T
Intake:
Breakfast:2 shrimp
Nonfat plain yogurt with splenda and cin
Lunch: at Bill's for Kristie's leaving America get-together
Broiled chicken breast and egg whites, but I think they may have put some butter for the eggs :(
Then went to Lexus for maintenance for my car.
I was able to resist, but the temptation for their snacks was so strong. They had cookies, madeleines, aussie bites, mini cinnabon, oranges, cake. Lately I feel like I'm surrounded by desserts calling my name!! I've never craved oreos but lately I want oreos sooo bad and m&m cookies... However, I did get coffee with 2 shots espresso for free.
Snack:
Dukan gallette - love love this! I've been eating this the passed three days and it's the closest thing to bread I"ve eaten in a long time. It's the pancake recommended in the book using egg white, greek yogurt and the 2tbs of oatbrean and it's delicious!
~2 cups? Nonfat greek yogurt with cocoa powder, splenda and vanilla extract - this helps with my chocolate cravings
~1/2 cup egg beaters
1/4 carton silken tofu with balsamic vinegar
I CAN'T STOP EATING! >_<
Also, today I've been having this headache and feeling sluggish even with caffeine and adequate sleep. Symptom of ketosis perhaps?
The start of my diet, my cravings weren't too bad, but I think resisting them so much has made me want them more lately. Plus I think I"m starting my period soon. I'm eating only my allowed foods, but I'm eating so much..
Nonetheless, I won't give up.
Dinner:
Steak with FF sour cream and parsley
Snack:
3/4 carton tofu with mesquite seasoning
Plain nonfat greek yogurt with van and splenda
Exercise:
TBA - but must! I haven't not worked out for 3days in a row in a long long time..
1 hour 24SET class - strength training class - workout helped fight my sluggishness and my uncontrollable hunger
Aunbin also left for Nicaragua tonight and umma and I just dropped him off at SFO. Hope he gets there safely and has a good time!

Day 59
Weigh-in: 151.0 - heyy lowest it's been in a while.
Dukan Diet day 3: still in attack phase
Intake:
Breakfast
1.5 tbs oat bran
1 Fage plain greek yogurt with splenda and cin
Lunch:
A little bigger than a palm sized steak that is ~1in thick
Dinner:
1 filet salmon
1 small piece of steak
Snack:
1/2 cup Nonfat Russian yogurt with splenda and cinn - I wanted to try it bc I thought it'd taste like Greek yogurt, but it doesn't.. oh well, I can still eat it. But why did I buy the large tub? haha...
Exercise:
1 hour Club Power - was starting to feel somewhat low energy and my muscles were definitely feeling the burn. Didn't think I'd have the energy to do another class but 5 min after the class ended I felt fine, so I decided to stay.
1 hour Core Fusion - core is always tough, but today we used balls and it wasn't too bad. Last week, we used the glides and oy I hate those glides. We use them in body cond on Mondays too haha... I'm glad I stayed, good core workout and I get a good stretch at the end.
Didn't stay for Zumba today though.
Today there was a birthday dinner for suja... The hard part of weight loss is having to make excuses for not going out to eat. I did, however, meet the entire group at Honeyberry where people had dessert. I actually didn't feel thaat tempted as I normally would have been. It helped to have had dinner first and so I was not hungry at all and I think my willpower is getting stronger than my temptations yeehoo. I've been rejecting a lot of invites lately and even having to lie... but it's what it takes. At least after this attack phase, I can start eating many vegetables again on alternating days so if I do go out to eat, I have options. The restrictions help me in my choices though.
Also, since i'm excluding food groups in my diet currently, I'm also taking a multi-vitamin. (in which i take 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night when possible as recommended on Dr Oz hehe) and I also started taking fish oil bc although I don't know my cholesterol levels, I'm concerned about them getting too higih. Even though I do eat salmon and fish, it can't hurt to take fish oil I think. Plus, there are many benefits!
Ease depression
Lowers cholesterol
Lowers triglyceride levels
Reduces inflammation in the body
Eliminates Joint Pain
Improves you skin
Promotes weight loss
May prevent schizophrenia
Improves Brain Func in babies
Increases focus
Reduce PP depression
Improve Vision
Reduce soreness from weight training
Reduce risk of heart disease
May slow breast tumor growth
Provides relieve from chrohn's disease and colitis
Ease effects of Alzheimer's
Helps treat ulcers
Stabilizes mood
(I got this from a website that doesn't state its sources so I'm not sure how credible it is, but sounds pretty legit and I think I've heard of most of these benefits before)
And since we have it at home, I want to be more regular in taking grape seed extract which seems to be an antioxidant that boosts metabolism, anti-aging properties for skin along with other benefits

Day 58
Weigh-in: 152.2
Dukan Diet Day 2: Attack Phase
Intake:
Before workout:
1 chicken breast with nonfat cream cheese
After workout:
1 chicken breast with curry powder and nonfat cream cheese (again.. haha)
Dukan Diet Day 2: Attack Phase
Intake:
Brunch:
More steak from loice's party, 3 egg whites, 1 cup plain greek yogurt with splenda and cinnamon
2 cups tea
Snack:
1.5 tbs Oat bran
Snack:
1 Eating Right Vanilla nonfat yogurt

The diet allows fat-free cream cheese, which I thought was surprising at first, but after looking at the nutrition facts, it's pretty healthy! 0% fat, hardly any carbs, high in Ca+, 4g protein per serving, only negative is that it has some sodium. But I really do enjoy the taste! It adds a nice spread to my lean proteins, mixing it with a little curry powder and a little lemon juice was really great today with lotta flavor.
I'm also finding that I don't really get that hungry lately. After I eat my meals, the full feeling lasts a long time and I can't stop fairly easily even though I can technically eat these foods without restriction :). Even though I'm really limited to what I can eat right now, it's helpful to know that after I lose the weight, I will be able to eat more like a normal person and have my weight still stable. Even though I have to decline eating out with a lot of people, I'm determined to stick with this.

Exercise:
I know the diet says to avoid hard physical exercise in this beginning stage especially the first 2 days and just to walk 20 min for now, but exercise is so part of me. I just won't go too hard.
Before going to work:
20 min Active sculpting workout
After work:
62 minutes on the treadmill. Mostly at speed 3.0 and varying incline walking from 5.0-15.0 and speed walking intervals at mostly 3.0 incline and speed 3-5-4.5. ~3.5miles, 445 cals.
I took it easier today, but I actually wasn't that tired today like I expected to be :-)
However, since I've been drinking a lot more water, I've been needing to pee so often!

Day 57
Weigh-in: 154.4 - yesterday did some damage.
Intake: Day 1 of my Dukan Diet: Attack Phase
Breakfast:
maybe about 8 of the small shrimp
like 6-7 steak slices?
Green tea and water
Lunch:
3 egg whites
A tupper container of the sliced steak
I don't know what you did to the gogi kkokko, but it's soooo good. even without anything on it.
~ 2 cups of green tea
Dinner:
1 filet of baked trout
1 Dannon nonfat plain greek yogurt and I added some splenda and a drop of vanilla extract - the books says I can eat flavored yogurts, but when I look at the labels, they have a lot more sugar than the plain ones, so i'll just flavor them myself. It was pretty good though! And I'm glad I can still eat yogurt
And surprisingly, I was full after this and didn't have a desire to eat more.
~ cups of vanilla roobios tea
The DD book states drinking a lot of water is needed for this diet to help flush out waste products, bloat, etc. Which does make a lot of sense. So I've been consciously drinking a lot of water at meals and here and there.
This diet is quite interesting and a fairly good fit for me. The concept of being able to eat as much as want...and the fact that it's really strict. During diets (although I hate calling my eating regimen diets -- but this definitely is a diet) I normally have a hard time with portion control and moderation. Once I have a bite of something I like, I'd go crazy. But here, I can eat as much as like of certain foods til I'm full; it's quite interesting. So even though I pass by desserts and I get tempted, the fact that I CAN'T eat them AT ALL helps me to control myself. Just like dr dukan said in the book, "the best way to maintain a diet for most overweight individuals is to follow as closely as possiblee, precise, simple, focusedm concretem and non-negotiable instructions. I'm gonna aim to do the attack phase for 5 days -- the average -- before going to the alternating days of the cruise phase
Exercise:
1 hour Body Conditioning - died! I think I felt the lack of carbs during this workout, however I also normally die in the class anyway
1 hour U-Jam - this class was ok

Day 54
Weigh-in: 152.4 - yay going back down again! and exactly 10lbs from day 1! It's been slow, but better than gaining 10lbs. Also, I think I would have to say I'm the most toned I've ever been haha.. just gotta shed this fat to show nicely.

Exercise:
~40 min of strength training on the machines
62 min on treadmill. Intervals of running at 5.0 with walking and incline walking, 1 speed interval at 6.0 and 3 1.5-2 minute intervals at 7.0 speed. 4.25 miles total, 525 calories
Stretching
Good day today. Covered a shift for a coworker, but it was a short one and I still got to sleep in a little. It helped me from sleeping all day and from being lazy. Instead I get more of my day, make a little money and have the gym to make me workout right there haha.
Also... this is not like me. But I saw Lucy Activewear was having 25% off their sale items.. and I couldn't resist. Lately, I've been seeing this girls in my workout classes who wear all lululemon and it looks so good... Lucy is pretty up there in terms of quality of Lululemon but they have more sales. The pants at Lucy had really good reviews and from $98 they went down to $53 and people say they last a long time and not sag.. My $25 target ones start to look not very nice after a few months.. so I figure this is a good investment. I bought 2 pants and a workout top. My shipment came in today and they look and feel so nice! They hold my tummy in and make my butt look good too haha. If I feel better in my clothes, I figure I'll feel better working out? heh heh...

Day 53
Weigh-in: 153.2 - good to know I haven't really gained. I've gotten my will back.. I think my will power is much less when I'm on my time of month...
Intake:
Breakfast:
1 chobani yogurt 140
1 Oats Revolution strawberries n cream oatmeal - omg this is soo good like a dessert! 130
Snack:
Few of those darned trader joe cookies from the tin at abba's work. 170 - I forgot to bring my protein bar and my stomach started to get queasy again so I had to eat something and there was nothing else.
Lunch:
Panera bread with Abba
"You Pick 2"
1/2 fuji apple chicken salad 260
1 cup black bean soup 110
1 small apple 80
doppio iced espresso with soymilk 75 - there was a bit more soy and less ice so i'm giving more cals
Snack:
1 OR strawberries and cream oatmeal 130
Dinner:
Steak and steamed veggies 350
Snack:
2 baby bell peppers 26
6 raw almonds 42
Total: 1513
Exercise:
20 Min fat burning interval workout from exercise tv
after bible study 30 minute of these toning exercise from my Fitness magazine
I'm always tired on Thursdays because I have to wake up at 6:30 so I end up taking a nap and it's hard to get myself to workout right when I get home -__-. But gonna keep it a bit light though because my legs had some mild tiring feeling this morning/today
Yay didn't oversleep today! Almost, but didn't! However I had some funky GI problems again last night and this morning. Some reason before I slept and during the night and morning, my stomach felt queasy and my mouth wouldn't stop filling with saliva! Weird... luckily it subsided after having breakfast. I think it was because the yogurt I ate was maybe 6 months old or something like that. I haven't seen that kind of yogurt in our fridge for a while and i think it was hiding in the back somewhere.. haha..
Anyhow, I've been reading more about the Dukan diet from my book. I like that it's rules are very clear and after the weight comes off, they give you a plan to stop the vulnerable regaining. The first phase is the Pure Protein portion and lasts 1-10 days depending on the person and on average of 2-7 days. I'm thinking maybe next week would be good to start. I'll talk about it more later

20 Min fat burning interval workout from exercise tv
after bible study 30 minute of these toning exercise from my Fitness magazine
I'm always tired on Thursdays because I have to wake up at 6:30 so I end up taking a nap and it's hard to get myself to workout right when I get home -__-. But gonna keep it a bit light though because my legs had some mild tiring feeling this morning/today
Yay didn't oversleep today! Almost, but didn't! However I had some funky GI problems again last night and this morning. Some reason before I slept and during the night and morning, my stomach felt queasy and my mouth wouldn't stop filling with saliva! Weird... luckily it subsided after having breakfast. I think it was because the yogurt I ate was maybe 6 months old or something like that. I haven't seen that kind of yogurt in our fridge for a while and i think it was hiding in the back somewhere.. haha..
Anyhow, I've been reading more about the Dukan diet from my book. I like that it's rules are very clear and after the weight comes off, they give you a plan to stop the vulnerable regaining. The first phase is the Pure Protein portion and lasts 1-10 days depending on the person and on average of 2-7 days. I'm thinking maybe next week would be good to start. I'll talk about it more later

Some interesting things I learned on Dr Oz a few days ago on supplements
500 mg apple pectin before each meal slows down digestion in the stomach to help you feel full longer
150mg once a day Grape seed extract - increases metabolism
Forskolin - helps immobilze fat outside the cell, goes into the cell and blows away the fat particles inside the cell
