Article 20: Day 8 On My HCG Diet
Hmm. Well, I got up this morning and weighed myself and found that I’m at the same weight as yesterday. I’m still at 162. I thought I did pretty good yesterday so that’s a bummer. I think I need to drink more water. I go in spurts. I’ll drink a ton at once, but then I’ll go hours without any at all. My new plan is to drink an entire glass and then keep a full glass beside me so I’ll keep drinking more. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I didn’t take my HCG drops before lunch. So that was a bit of a slip up. But I took them before dinner and then I had some a few hours later. We’ll just call it a late evening dose of HCG. For lunch I had a leftover green onion turkey burger. It was still really good. I’m really liking these recipes from the HCG Diet Direct cookbook. I heard it talked up in some of the weight loss reviews, but I’m still kind of surprised at how good they all are!
I had an orange and crackers with my burger. I usually avoid oranges because I hate the seeds, but I thought I’d suck it up and give it a go in the name of HCG. I don’t think it was worth it. I’ll aim for strawberries, apples and grapefruit. I truly, truly HATE seeds in my oranges. And I have the worst luck. Mine always have seeds.
I made grilled chicken with Creole seasoning for dinner. This was an easy one because the kids like it, too. I just have to make sure that their’s isn’t too spicy. I made steamed broccoli for the kids. I had a romaine salad. I was up late after the kids went to bed watching a movie and I made the mock apple cobbler. It was really good. I’ve tried doing it in the oven thinking it would be better than in the microwave (most things are), but I advise sticking to the instructions with this one. It’s much better in the microwave. It got dry in the oven. And making it in the microwave creates the most delicious smell I’ve ever encountered.
Actually the smell is even more delicious than the taste. And the taste is very good. I might need to look into getting myself a Mock Apple Cobbler Candle or something. Well…since dieting doesn’t really relate to candles I could probably indulge and get myself an “Apple Cobbler” candle and skip the mock altogether.
The day went well overall. I’m doing find on the diet. I read a few weight loss reviews looking for tea flavors to try, but didn’t run across anything in my cursory search that sounded interesting. I’m trying to stay home rather then end up other places when it’s time to eat. That makes it MUCH easier for me.
