The Dukan Diet – Round 2 (Because of Baby #3)

It’s time for me to do the Dukan Diet again. After having my third child in May of 2014, I lost a considerable amount of weight the first week and then stalled around 135-140 pounds. I continued to weigh that much for the past 20 months and I finally got SICK AND TIRED OF IT! It’s time to lose weight and feel like myself again.

I decided it was time to buckle down and do The Dukan Diet, round 2!

Because I successfully lost over 20 pounds in a little over 2 months on The Dukan Diet back in 2012, I knew I could be successful on this diet again.

Here is a BEFORE and AFTER from last time!
June 18, 2012 at 128 pounds and August 11, 2012 at 110 pounds.
In just 8 weeks I lost 18 pounds!!!

I did some casual dieting and exercise before going on The Dukan Diet the first time around, so I had actually lost around 10 pounds in the months before starting the Dukan Diet. Β It took me a little less than 2 months to lose the last 20 pounds and reach my goal weight. You can read about round 1Β here.

This time, I went right from pigging out over the holidaysΒ and gaining an extra 6 pounds (on top of the baby weight) to deciding to just drop it all cold turkey and start The Dukan Diet. I felt uncomfortable in my own skin and we all know that it’s hard to have real confidence if you just don’t feel comfortable in your own body. None of my clothes fit and I refused to buy the next size up. I decided the extra weight had to GO!

The decision to start the Dukan Diet again was an easy one to make. Once I started though, I have to say it was a little bit more traumatic for me this time around since I had been eating so badly (ie. I ate basically whatever I wanted to). Going from pizza, nachos and ice cream every single day to eating nothing but lean meats and vegetables was admittedly unpleasant! I didn’t let that deter me though. Once I make a commitment, I stick to it no matter what. This is especially true for meΒ whenΒ it comes to weight loss. Committing to a diet can be difficult but my personal mantra is “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. It helps keep me motivated when Ben & Jerry’s looks inviting.

I realize that I don’t have a ton of weight to lose compared to some people, but that fact doesn’t sway me. I don’t compare myself to others when it comes to my body and neither should you. I don’t expect to look like a supermodel when I’m done losing this extra baby weight. I DO expect to feel a bit more like myself again and be healthier though! Whether you have 5 pounds to lose or 75 pounds to lose, YOU CAN DO IT.

Believe me, I do not take pleasure inΒ telling the world about my weight issues, but in hopes of helping someone else lose weight and get healthy, I committed myself to blogging about my weight loss experience on The Dukan Diet again!

(excluding during pregnancy and while breastfeeding).

May

  • Day 136 – I weighed in at 117.6 (7 lbs over goal weight)

Was very frustrated this month. Got a knee injury that made it impossible to exercise or workout. Only lost 2 pounds this whole month because of it!

June

  • Day 137 – I weighed in at 117.8 (7 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 167 – I weighed in at 117.6 (7 lbs over goal weight)

Even more frustrated this month. No time to make up for lost exercise last month. Didn’t lose any weight this month, despite sticking to the diet. Feeling very defeated!

July

  • Day 168 – I weighed in at 117.6 (7 lbs over goal weight)

August

  • Day 178 – I weighed in at 117.8 (7 lbs over goal weight) and found out I was pregnant with baby #4.

 

Morning sickness started pretty quickly and the only thing that would stay down was carbs so I gained weight very quickly and ended up at 177 pounds the day before I gave birth. May 2017, about 4 weeks postpartum I weighed 157 lbs, leaving me 40 pounds more than I weighed that time last year.

Amazing what a year can do to you…….

    Thank you for this post. I will be following your blog now that I found it. I have a two month old and am not breast feeding any more. I gained a lot this time around (I have three others). I was able to lost the weight by cutting back on my diet and walking a lot but now that it’s winter I can’t really commit to that much walking as I would like. I plan to use the Dukan diet and seeing your results makes me feel better about starting this diet right after Christmas. Thank you!

Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean?

It only lasts about 2 hours in this house so I gotta snap a pic before it gets messed up again! πŸ€ͺ🀣

If you haven’t upgraded your kitchen (and your life) with @caraway_home cookware then you’re missing out on the best non stick non toxic cookware on the market. 

Get rid of your Teflon πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Ditch the chemicals 🀒

Throw out the ugly 😡

Don’t wait any longer to elevate your cooking with the most talked about, most loved cookware the world has ever seen. 

This cookware set has sold out 10+ times (the limited-edition color for Crate & Barrel
sold out in under 5 hours!) and the bakeware has barely been in stock since its launch! (So glad I got mine December!)

Head to my stories for the link to grab a discount on these sensational pans! πŸ’ƒπŸΌ

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! πŸ‘‡πŸ»

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven.

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! πŸ‘‡πŸ»

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
