Good to be doing judo again. My standing still sucks but went up against some big dudes on the ground and I think i killed em hehe.

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!

As expected, I started my period tonight and I've also been super sluggish and haven't been working out as hard I used to. 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.. I've been taking advantage of the fact that I can eat without restriction, so i've been eating even when I'm not hungry. Mustn't eat when I'm really not hungry.

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..
