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

(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
