Diet Day 3

I am down a total of 2.5 lbs and DD is down 7.5 lbs, pretty encouraging.

Today was a continuation of what I think will be the normal schedule, except that I didn’t overcook my eggs, so they weren’t too bad. I ate most of them and gave the pup the rest….I am really not a fan of eggs, but I dislike not having any breakfast even more. So I may need to look into an alternative.

10:30 had my strawberries.

Drops at 11:30 and chicken w/romaine at noon.

I have not been drinking water like I should though. But by 1pm I realized I better step it up. Only 1 glass so far.

2pm – Had a melba toast. I don’t know if I am actually hungry, or just habit because usually my routine is a snack around 2 or 3pm. But it is usually something really bad like a big bag of chips or a chocolate bar.

2:30 – I have gotten another glass of water down…so up to 32oz now, which is better than a little over 8oz…so I am getting closer to my quota.

3:30pm having an apple to get me through the rest of the afternoon until dinner.

Dinner I ate a little late as I had some stuff to do for our business. But I baked some yummy chicken and had asparagus. I didnt like the asparagus the other night, but last night was pretty good, and I think because I cut most of the bottom off, those are hard and bitter to me.

Yummy strawberries again for dessert. I said I wasnt going to have them again as this could be an expensive habit, but they are just sooo good!!

Going to check out the recipes found at HCGkey so I can add some variety. Hubby picked up a flavored bottle of Stevia so I can try one of the apple desserts.

Diet Day 2

I am down a pound and a half….well I cannot tell you how much that boosts you to want to continue. Glad to see results the first day makes me not want to quit, after all Day 1 really wasn’t all that hard. Just makes you modify how much and how often you eat.

So today I am modifying this as I have decided I cannot go without breakfast, and so I had my coffee and I took my drops about 7am, and then at 7:30 I scrambled 2 eggs. I have to say I am not a big fan of eggs…and I think I overcooked them, so the pup got to eat most of them, and I think he was pretty happy about that.

I poured a travel mug of coffee with a smidge of half n half and headed off to work. I drank every drop of my coffee over the next hour.

About 10:30am I ate 6 strawberries.

I have now also drank 2 large glasses of water, trying to drink as much as I can.

Took my drops at 11:30, and ate my baked chicken and romaine at noon.

3pm I ate an apple.

Before dinner I took my drops and waited while hubby grilled us steak.

You are allowed beef like 2 times a week…and only lean cuts like NY Strip and London Broil. So I ate half my steak along with a package of frozen spinach.

I have to say I felt full pretty fast, and as my daughter said, probably because beef is a heavier meat.

So for dessert we had our 6 strawberries….I am liking that part! :)

Diet Day 1

I am down a half pound and back to my original weight….hmmm, a little odd with all the junk food I ate, but hey who is complaining.

My morning started with a cup of coffee and a smidge of half n half, I cannot do black coffee!

Mid morning I had a piece of fruit (apple) and a piece of melba toast.

For lunch I baked some chicken and mixed it with a bunch of romaine lettuce. For dressing I used the salad spritzers. I didn’t have the ingredients on hand to make the dressing recipe in the book.

Now mid afternoon I “thought” I felt hungry. Am I? Is it mind over matter? My stomach isn’t growling, but it felt empty and I was a tad tired, so I went ahead and ate another apple.

Dinner I baked more chicken and asparagus. Frys has their brand frozen asparagus in the steamer bags, and I ate the whole bag, lol.

For “dessert” I ate 6 strawberries.

Gorge Day 2

I am up a half a pound…well that is to be expected with all the junk I ate. :)

Breakfast was McDonalds Egg McMuffin.

Lunch was a burger and chips

Snack included more chips, another fry bread with honey and powdered sugar and a vanilla latte.

Dinner was grilled chicken and rice…not fattening but what we had on hand.

Gorge Day 1

So at my craft fair they have a pancake breakfast, YUMMY!

For snacks I ate some chips and pretzels.

Lunch was a pulled pork sandwich and more chips.

Afternoon snack was fry bread with honey and powdered sugar and a vanilla latte.

Dinner was Burger King burger and fries and onion rings.

Now also included during the day was the HCG drops 3 times under my tongue - 30 minutes before each meal.

HCG – Daughters Results

My daughter started the diet before me since I am waiting for the weekend craft fair...I mean come one, there will be some yummy food there!!

After 3 days she is down 2.2 lbs. She said she was hungry, which I wonder if that is to be expected after gorging for 2 days…but then when I saw how little she was eating I could see why she was hungry. So I showed her how to weigh out her food on the scale…her teensy piece of fish was 1/3 the amount she was allowed, so I think she is on track now.

HCG

Who has done it? I have so many people around me doing it with awesome results, and well since I cannot get rid of my stubborn last 10 pounds I thought I would give it a go. My daughter has quite a bit of weight to lose, and she is doing it as well.

At first glance I think NO WAY I can do this….this is STRICT. So lets just see if I can do this.

There are 2 versions…shots, um no thanks, or drops under your tongue. I am opting for the drops.

You gorge the first 2 days on high fat foods for your body to store. Well since I have a craft fair to attend this coming weekend, sounds like the best place to do my 2 day gorge, so I will begin then.

Then you eat a 500-1000 calorie diet. The calories depend on your activity, or what you can handle. Some people I have talked to 500 calories were not enough and they felt light headed…so they added an extra piece of fruit or calories.

Basic gist of it is
No Breakfast
Lunch and dinner each consist of a protein, a vegetable, a fruit, and a piece of melba toast.

So let’s see how well I stick to it….
