The Protein Queen

Saturday

2 scrambled eggs with chives and 1/2 a fillet of smoked mackeral

1 peach yoghurt with 1.5 tbsp oatbran

3 fried chicken strips <— I was in a pub

Ham with a little salad (2 leaves of Cos lettuce, 1 slice tomato)

2 glasses of wine

2 shots of black sambuca <— pretty good considering I was out

1/5 chicken breast when I got in 

Exercise: Does dancing count??

VERDICT! Yesterday was just too tricky to not break my diet given that I ate dinner at someone else’s house and then went to a bar. But the only real thing I did wrong was the salad and I can take that hit :) 

Lately I seem to be having trouble remembering what I’ve eaten throughout the day. I put this down to the fact that recently I’ve been eating more. So even though the day is not quite finished, I’ll log my food so far.

Saturday

2 small galettes spread with low fat cream cheese (it was 5%, not technically Dukan friendly :S)

1 large chicken breast in Nandos marinade

a beef burger (just the meat)

1 boiled egg

soya chocolate milk

a small slice of Dukan cinnamon tart

Some more chicken

Another boiled egg

Exercise: I FINALLY did some! 4.8km run (31mins)

VERDICT! I feel fatter and bigger.

Saturday

1 small galette with 2 scrambled eggs and smoked salmon

1 small galette with 4 thin slices chicken breast

a hot chocolate, skimmed :)

Exercise: I wonder if there’s any point including this on my daily posts anymore?

VERDICT! The day started off yummy and tailed off to a terrible ‘dinner’ then I bought it back with a pre-bed hot choc. Also, I started taking the Animal Cuts today.

Saturday

1 oat bran chocolate muffin

1 small oat bran galette with 2 scrambled eggs and smoked mackerel

pickled herring

1 tiny slice of chicken breast

6 chicken nuggets

a lot to drink: unknown quantity of G&Ts, 2 or 3 jagermeister shots.

Exercise: None

VERDICT! Too tired to comment.

Sunday

1 small oat bran galette with 2 scrambled eggs and smoked mackerel

1/2 slice of buttered brown toast (Holly, your leftovers were looking at me and it was delicious)

1 pot of low fat cottage cheese

Roast chicken with carrots, cabbage, broccoli, stuffing and gravy

small glass of red wine

oat bran choc muffin

soya chocolate milk

Exercise: Typing is enough. 

VERDICT! Roast dinner was so yummy <3

Saturday

1 small galette with 2 scrambled eggs

soya chocolate milk

1 small galette

a small latte

a little slice of chicken

3 glasses of prosecco 

3 glasses of white wine

chicken and fish curry

some bean things that I was informed were 43% carbs :O

a pot of cottage cheese

Exercise: ………. Bluewater?

VERDICT! Its looks like I ate a lot but really I didn’t, everything was a small portion.

Friday

Hard to remember exactly… I think it went something like this:

Oat bran porridge

a baklava

roast chicken breast with stuffing

I got high and I ate… ~ 6 chicken nuggets; doritos (my favourite, lightly salted oops!); an omelette! 

Exercise: None, again…

VERDICT! The doritos were naughty but so proud I made an omelette to cope with my munchies. Granted this was because there was literally nothing else in the house.

Saturday

Oat bran porridge

Starbucks mocha latte

chicken fridge raiders

2 small white russians

suspect meatballs from Spar

more fridge raiders

3 amaretti 

Exercise: minimal.

VERDICT! I was out and managed to not eat pizza/chips/fried chicken, all of which were readily available. The amaretti were my 5am reward.

Sunday

Full English: 1 slice toast, 1 fried egg, sausage, bacon, beans, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato.

Vanilla milkshake

cod in batter and mushy peas.

Exercise: None

VERDICT! Am I still on Dukan?? Great weekend though.

Saturday

omelette (2 whole, 2 whites)

leftover curry (chicken breast, spinach)

1 glass of Baileys

2 glasses of white wine.

Dinner out: salmon carpaccio with lettuce; liver and bacon bacon with mashed potato and cabbage; banoffee pie and chocolate bread and butter pudding. 

Exercise: None

VERDICT! I ate ‘off Dukan’ for dinner, the rest of the day was ok. Today I felt as though I looked a bit slimmer too. 

Saturday

1 small galette with 2 scrambled eggs

chicken breast and salad

1 small glass of Pimms

a err, ummm, hog roast roll AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I ate bread :( :(

Exercise: I was at work… none :(

VERDICT! So, I’m really disappointed I gave into the hog roast. I have an excuse though - I worked full on from 4pm until 11:30pm without break/drink/food. I was starving!  

Sunday

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs

3 chicken thighs

1 beef burger (on its own)

1 chocolate soya milk

1 glass red wine

1 brandy

Exercise: Still not a bloody sausage. 

VERDICT! I ate ok. I continue to drink badly and I feel flabby, like I’m losing muscle mass. But my dimensions are still decreasing (say my clothes).

And that’s it for week 2! 

Friday

ham omelette

grilled prawns with tomato and cucumber salad

2 tiny-mini slices of pizza (I was wasted)

Some drinks… I forget exactly what but something like: 1 large glass white wine

4 G&Ts

3 tequila shots

Exercise: Nothing

VERDICT! I messed up my protein only day because I got taken out for dinner. It was worth it and it wasn’t even unhealthy.

Saturday

2 scrambled eggs with smoked mackerel

1/3 pot of cottage cheese

2 chicken thighs, 1 burger and salad

slice of Dukan lemon cheesecake

3 G&Ts

3 sambuca shots

Exercise: Was dying to do some, but didn’t.

VERDICT! There was a party, there was cake. I stuck to my diet. Which means I’m allowed the mistake that happened Sunday…

Sunday

1 small oat bran galette with 2 scrambled eggs and smoked mackerel

1 small oat bran galette

Chinese food: 2 duck pancakes, seaweed, 4 deep-fried prawns, 2 prawn toasts, 3 bits of chicken. 

1 chicken thigh

2 glasses white wine

Exercise: yeah, err, none.

VERDICT! The chinese food is probably the worst I’ve been. It sounds like a lot, written out as a list, but really it was a small portion. Wish my cheat had been some cake instead. I want some cake!

Overall, Week 4 was not a good show. Would love to kick off Week 5 with a day to be proud of. Can’t believe its WEEK 5!!!!

Saturday

1 small galette with 2 scrambled eggs

Eggs florentine (2 eggs, spinach, little hollandaise sauce, 1/8 of a bagel)

Latte

1 small galette with 1/4 chicken breast & 1/2 tomato

Soya chocolate milk

Exercise: :)

VERDICT! not the most perfect of eating days - too many eggs and a bit of bagel. I feel good in my body though, despite needing some desperate tone!

Friday

1 small galette with 2 scrambled eggs and smoked mackerel

1 chicken thigh

1 small galette

a delicious spiced hot chocolate that made me feel like  I was in Chocolat

3 McDonalds chicken selects

3 mojitos, 5 jager shots, 1 G&T

Exercise: well, errrrr… oh yeah! I ran :) 4.8km (road)

VERDICT! What can one say, it was a friday night. I don’t think the quantity of food was very high though, which probably explains why I was so much more gone than Holly. UREKA! 

Saturday

2 fried eggs, mushrooms, tinned tomatoes and a… FRIED SLICE —> CARBICIDE HANGOVER ALERT!! Thank you Dolly’s Diner <3

I think that somehow that was literally all I ate. But now I’ve woken up at 6am Sunday morning and I’m starving!

Exercise: hahahahahaha

VERDICT! What a non-day. Exactly how I wanted it to be :) 

Saturday

3 scrambled eggs with smoked salmon

2 chicken breasts

hot chocolate

I went out Saturday night and didn’t get home until 7am, so when I got in I ate some of my aunt’s fat-free tea cake. That’s acceptable, right?

Exercise: Dancing! No, really. 

VERDICT! Not bad, not bad. I felt smaller the next morning. 

Saturday

galettes with 2 scrambled eggs and 2 rashers of maple bacon

smoked trout

ham

2 Baileys, 1 jagerbomb, 1 g&t, some sambuca.

Exercise: Swimming (100 lengths) 

VERDICT! Felt so good to exercise again.
