Day Four - The Attack

Well, things are going pretty good, I am in love with the oat bran galette, had one for breakfast again today and it was delicious, better than the first one because it was cooked at a slightly lower temperature.  On the scales this morning I had lost another 0.4 pounds which means I am at 5 pounds lost, not too bad.  I don't think todays will be as good, not sure what I did wrong, but I feel like I somehow ate too much today???  I discovered a new website today that has lots of recipes it is called My Dukan Diet and has lots of information for anyone starting this diet.  I explored the possibility of joining the Dukan Diet website but I am waiting for a few weeks to see how things go without the support of the website.

My cravings are subsiding, but I still have weak moments when I am truly not sure if I will cheat or not.  I read a biography of someone on the Dukan Diet Website and their comment that really stuck out with me was that this diet is very forgiving, if you stray off and jump right back on it will only be a minor set back.  I am pretty determined to finish the Attack phase really I only need 1 more day although I am seriously considering doing 6 or 7 days, but that kind of depends on what the scales say over the next 2 days.

Today I walked for 32 minutes, it was a nice walk, but the weather is very humid here and I was very sweaty when I got back.  I haven't been riding my bike for the last week and a half and I know I need to get back in the saddle, my husband was going with me but he hasn't been feeling up to it the last few weeks which makes it hard for me (I am a little dependent on his moral support to keep me riding regularly), I know it makes no sense but I will be trying to get back into that this weekend!

I have done so many diets in the past that I really worry that I have dieted myself into a position of not being able to bump my metabolism back up.  My body always seems to put on the breaks unless I cut the calories down to almost nothing...basically at 800 calories I lose weight, I hope that this diet will fix that and bring me back up to being able to eat normally and not gain.
