So Friday and Saturday were horrendous for my diet. I went off the plan both days for dinner AND drank alcohol both nights for the first time in about 3 weeks. This morning I am at 144.6 but I am really hoping that includes some bloat and water. I did exercise a lot both days- spinning on Friday, running (4 miles) on Saturday as well as a light football practice. This is probably why I don't actually weigh more than this since I was 143.6 on Thursday. My plan for today-
All protein, a lot of water, green tea and limit the salt. Good news is that I bought a dress for the bridal shower- an XS! And 3 pairs of shorts- one size 6, the other two are 4s! I was super excited! This is my motivation to keep trucking along :) my mom also got me two bikinis so I'm sure when those arrive I'll want to shape up for those too.

Sooo happy!
So I weigh myself everyday to stay in check but I only record my weight once a week to Gage my weight loss. This morning is my weekly weigh in and I lost another 2 lbs! My current weight is 142.6. I am really happy and I feel like this journey is so well worth it. I have 2 weeks and 6 days until my bridal shower in Florida so I'd love to be at a weight when I go there in which I can start Phase 3 so it will give me a little more flexibility with my eating (and drinking!). I cannot wait to see the 130s an be in this range for Florida. Now it will e tough to maintain but as long as I follow the plan to a tee I am trusting it! Just another 3 more weeks of this Phase 2 and I hope to begin Phase 3! Another 3 weeks should put me at 134 :) I've never been this low in my adult life so I am excited to see how this will feel!

Overcoming obstacles
Yesterday I went to a festival in our town and was surrounded by goodness in terms of food! I was good though, having a chicken kebab and some grilled shrimp. I even asked if any oil was included! I only ate protein yesterday and stuck to it. This AM I weighed in at 144.2 so I must've done something right yesterday!
Today I am back at work which makes it easier to stay on track! I had some cottage cheese for lunch, a piece of cheese as a snack. Half a leftover hamburger with mushrooms for lunch with a piece of chicken and steamed veggies. Snack was a hardboiled egg and some chicken meat.
For dinner I am having a chicken sausage, califlower mash, zucchini and maybe a hamburger with melted cheese and tomato.. Followed by (of course) oat bran.. which I thouroughly enjoy btw!
I am headed to Tabata at the gym shortly to burn some cals! Let's see how good I hold up since this is my first intense exercise back in the gym since I started Dukan. Although I've been working out every day- I've been just running, playing football (3 hours, this was the most intense) and speed walking for 30 mins every day. I need to get back to my gym routine, so today it starts.. back to bootcamp and weights!
My workout schedule is:
Monday: Tabata (an interval high-impact class at my gym- 45 mins- full body)
Tuesday- Boot camp (an interval high-impact class at my gym- 45 mins- full body)
Wednesday- Cardio/Running with abs (outside or at gym)- 30 mins cardio; 15 mins abs
Thursday- Power Walk (outside or on incline at gym) and abs- 30 mins cardio; 15 mins abs
Friday- Spinning in AM at gym- 45 mins
Saturday-Foodball practice
Sunday- Power Walk (outside or on incline at gym) and abs- 30 mins cardio; 15 mins abs

Day 2 of cruise phase
Today is day 2 of the cruise phase. Yesterday I ate decently (I thought) but today I weighted and was up a pound! So I'm at 145.6. I am devastated and not sure why or how this happened. My fingers were swollen yesterday enough to the point where I took y engagement ring into a jeweler to get it resized because it didn't fit.
I really hope my day today is better. I'm going to try to stay away from sodium as mch as possible today, drink a ton or water and green tea, etc.
Yesterday I played 3 hours of football so maybe that intense exercise has somethig to do with it. I am kinda sore today so perhaps I am retaining water? Whatever the reason, today is my protein only day so I hope to champion through this and see a great loss tomorrow morning. I'd love to be at my original goal of 141 by next Saturday for my first dress fitting and then lose another 10 or so pounds from there.
