1. Dukan Diet. Why not?

Wow, I haven't been able to count past 2 on-track days in a while, which explains my lack of any appreciable weight loss.  Still hovering in the same +/- 2 pound territory.  Darn wine nights.
So why not try shaking things up a bit?  I've never really been too trustful of carbs anyway, so this Dukan Diet might be worth a shot.  I'm going a bit loose on the rules tho - I'm going to eat vegetables every day (gasp), put a bit of whole milk in my morning coffee, and probably have a serving of beans every so often instead of the oat bran.  It also calls for NO alcohol, but I do want to allow a drink or two a week.  Especially at the end of this week: a new cocktail and small plates venue is opening, and they specialize in pre-prohibition cocktails.  For example -  a good Manhattan. NOT a silly chocolate martini. Woohoo!

So today my intake thus far:
coffee with milk and sugar (out of s/f syrup)
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
turkey slices
= 416 calories

I might have some tuna salad later with lowfat mayo, but only if I get really hungry.  I think I'll be okay until dinner.  I'll cook us some scrambled eggs (with my new truffle salt) and some grilled zucchini (on my new grill/press).  My husband can round that out with some toast if he wants.  Will update totals later.

Add:
1 oz cashews
Fage 0% yogurt
3 scrambled eggs (with truffle salt mmm)
grilled onion and zucchini
