July 12, 2011-Day 2 of the Dukan Diet

So, Day 1 of the Dukan Diet passed without any major cravings or missing of the carbs (yes, I'm as shocked as you are)!! Last night, I got home and we went for a walk before it clouded up and looked like it was going to rain (there went the idea of grilling chicken for dinner lol). I finally made the required, "Oat Bran Galette", I know it sounds so yummy doesn't it?!

I had been dreading making this Oat Bran Galette or basically an Oat Bran Pancake after reading many different comments on how tough it was to get the Oat Bran to the right consistency and to actually have some flavor to it. However, knock on wood, the first time out I made quite a yummy "Herb Flavored" Oat Bran Pancake, I even got props from hubby who tried it (of course under duress)!

The only wild thing last night was Bailey trying to chase the Bull Frogs by the front door when I took her out and of course was I paying attention to the frogs.....NO, so there goes Bailey full tilt all 28 pounds of her as she yanks the leash right out of my hand! I do give her credit though as soon as she was tired chasing frogs and running around she picked her leash up in her mouth and trotted right over to me LOL! You gotta love it!   

Day 2
I'm proud of myself as I got up early again this morning and did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then walked around my office complex for 20 minutes today at lunch. Yes, I did this in the middle of the day on blacktop, maybe I have lost my mind?! It did bring back memories of playing volleyball in junior high here in Orlando during August and September! Oh how I miss those days in the 90+ degree heat burning through the soles of your tennis shoes during practice, NOT!!! :-)

I have been very good all day, except for this afternoon I was craving something sweet so I quick ran to Starbucks and got a small skinny vanilla latte....thank god for being able to have skim milk! Thank you Starbucks for squelching my craving.... I feel much better now and not like I am depriving myself of anything. Hopefully, everything will continue to be smooth sailing tonight and we will get to try the chicken recipe! :-)
