It’s Day 8 On My HCG Diet
Ugh. I weighed myself this morning (Day 
and I’m the same weight as yesterday. Hate that. So I’m still at 162 pounds. I did quite well eating only HCG approved items yesterday so that’s a little disappointing. I decided maybe I need to try to drink more water. I’m not big on constancy with my water drinking. I guzzle a huge cup of water and then I’ll just hang around for a while without drinking anymore. So I’m going to try to drink it more frequently now in addition to the guzzling.
I forgot to take my HCG drops before lunch. So I ended up taking a dose of HCG drops before dinner and then several hours later I had a third dose that I’ll call my late evening HCG drops. I had to stay up late to work so that worked out alright. At lunch I had leftovers: Green Onion/Turkey burger. It was still good. I made it from a recipe in the HCG Diet Direct Cookbook. I heard many people talk about the cookbook in only weight loss reviews so it shouldn’t surprise me that I like the recipes, but they continue to be surprisingly good!
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.
For dinner I had grilled chicken (it’s a classic…and the kids like it). I seasoned it with the approved Creole seasoning (if you can’t tell I’m getting attached to it). The kids had steamed broccoli, but that’s not HCG approved so I had a romaine salad. I stayed up after the kids went to bed to watch a movie (Harry Potter seemed like a good idea since the new movie is coming out on DVD Tuesday) and made the Mock Apple Cobbler from the recipe book. I can’t even tell you how amazing it smells. It smells absolutely delicious.
It probably even smells just a bit more delicious than it tasted. But regardless…it tasted great. And I think I’ll look into getting myself a candle that will give me that smell on cue whenever I want it.
So Day 8 went well. I attempted to find a tea flavor recommendation in weight loss reviews, but I didn’t see anything too intriguing. I’ll look more tomorrow. I have discovered that if I stay home this is MUCH easier. If I end up out and about when it’s time to eat I’m left floundering a bit. But I’m alright eating at home most of the time. So that’s easy enough to fix.
