One week of low carbs the Dukan diet

Alright maybe I am a little consumed with losing these last 12 ponds. Maybe my focus is on the fact I am not where I want to be rather than how far I have come. I have accomplished a lot. I am down 70 pounds, I am no loner at risk of becoming a diabetic, my hips, knees, and feet no longer kill me all day. I removed the arch supports from my shoes. I am much much stronger. I am indeed happy with my progress but still want more.
One big desire for me was to look fit in my daughter's wedding's pictures. Well the wedding is almost here and I am trying my best to drop more pounds. I decided I would give the Dukan Diet a try.
The Dukan Diet is based around eating high-protein foods while severely limiting all carbohydrates including fruits, starchy vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Unlike the Atkins diet the emphasis is on sources of protein that are low in fat such as fish, poultry and reduced-fat dairy products.

 since it allows low fa dairy I am hoping o fair well with this unlike other low cab diets that reduce your carbs so low that it makes me sick.

Today is day 2 and so far I doing well on this diet. I will do my weigh on Sat after 3 days since the 1st stage is recommended to do 3 - 6 days. Then I can determine if I need to move to the next stage or continue on the active stage.

I have made a deal with myself the first part is if this diet makes me ill in anyway I will quit and just go back to clean eating. Second no matter the results of this diet I will know in my heart that I truly did the most I could to prepare  for this wedding physically just accept my fitness for that day. I will continue this journey and I do know one day I will be fit.

I am so excited for this wedding and the joining of my daughter and her future husband. Unlike the pictures she dug up for her wedding shower in which many I had her cut me out of. I will be proud of how far I have come when I look at the pictures. I will know I did my all.
