Well, here goes nothing...

Hello faithful friends, guess what? I finished the book, it was amazing, recipes look like fun, I think I'm going to try my hand at some today. So you know what that means right? today is OFFICIALLY DAY 1!!


I woke up a bit late today, I had some tv shows on last night and I watched Burlesque at like 12:30 AM, so I didn't get to sleep until 3:00 easy. That was a good movie, I'm not sure why it got such poor reviews. Man those girls can move. Just something us fat chicks cant do I guess. Those little numbers they wear, what I would do to put one on (in the privacy on my bedroom of course) and just be able to like the way I look. Well, maybe after this diet I can. I guess its water under the bridge for now...

So here's the stats:

Day 1 - Attack phase
Weight: 189.6 (weighed myself for the first time since i decided to embark on this journey)
Height: 5'3.5"

I'm going to try and make a little widget thing for the side of my blog but I don't know how well that will work out for me. If any of you know how to do that, help a sister out!

I'm going to head to Stop'n'Shop in a little bit, and i'll park all the way at the end of the parking lot, to stock up on some protein I'm going to get tons of chicken breast, some 95% lean burger patties, ground turkey for some turkey meat balls, maybe some non-fat cottage cheese, and look for some non-fat yogurt that doesnt make me squint from the bitterness. I haven't eaten breakfast yet and it's after 11 am, I should probably go make a few eggs or something.

I have realized that when ever I try and "diet" I set a standard for myself that is unacceptable, too far off, and I loose track of what I am doing, more often than not I think it is that mistake that makes me quit. I'll tell meyself I want to loose 50 pounds, and when I don't do it in a few days I just say eff it and stop. Now, i'm not ignorant I know that I cannot loose 50 pounds over a 1 week period, but i think i just feel that the days spent counting calories and watcing what I put in my mouth is so hard, ad looking .2 pounds a day is a waste of my time. When in reality, it's not. That's why I ope DUKAN works for me, There is a strict list to eat from, eat anything else you will fail. I need to hear that. So this is my second proposed change for this diet:

MINIGOALS
-- I will only set a small goal for every day. It will always be the same, and I have to say I am pulling this theory from a program I know works ... AA..alcoholics annonymous...the goal is that Just for today I will stay on this diet.

I know it may seem cliche but thinking about dieting in the long run seems to weigh me down (no pun intended) so if I just focus on the task at hand (in this case, it's only having protein today) than I can do it. I know I can. So...JUST FOR TODAY I WLL INDULGE MYSELF IN THE GLORIOuS 9KCAL PER GRAM PROTEIN.

I really am motivated today. I want this to work. Okay, time to light the fire under my butt and get moving.

Keep it real kids
