Cruise Phase: Week 12

Cruise Phase:

Week 12

Monday 3rd - Sunday 9th June

And here we are again! Wow, the weeks just seem to be flying by, and here I am 12 weeks in and over two stone lighter. But it isn't over yet. In fact, it is far from over. I still have another 7-13 lbs to lose (depending on how much more my body will give up healthily), and if I want to reach this by, AT LEAST 10th July, (the 4 month mark), then I need to pull out all the stops which will allow me to get this last stubborn stone out of my life! So over the next few weeks you might see more PP days than PV days, as I work my absolute arse off to get to the size I have always dreamed of being :)

Monday 3rd - PP

Breakfast: Boiled Eggs

Lunch: Grilled Shark and Seared Beef Skewers

This was absolutely delicious. Taken from the official Dukan Diet site here is the recipe....

Ingredients

2 large leeks, halved and finely sliced

1 bay leaf

1kg broccoli, diced

1l chicken or vegetable stock

100ml low fat buttermilk

200g smoked salmon , cut into strips

small bunch chives , snipped

Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf. Cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins or until the leek is really soft, then stir through the broccoli. Pour over the stock and buttermilk and bring to the simmer, then gently bubble for 10-15 mins until the broccoli is really tender. Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season. Serve the soup in deep bowls with the remaining smoked salmon and snipped chives on the top. "

Enjoy!! :)

 

Dinner: Peppered Chicken with Salmon and Broccoli Mousse

Day 89: Dinner

For this I used some of the left-over soup (that had been stored in the fridge for a few hours) and added some fat free fromage frais until the consistency became creamy. What I should have done was then refrigerate the mousse for one hour before eating, but I had somewhere to be and had to eat straight away, that's why it still looks a little watery.
