So Lisa and I are both really happy with the results we\’re seeing through the use of the HCG diet renewal kit from HCG Diet Direct. (Lisa\’s my dieting buddy if you haven\’t been reading the past articles in the series). We\’ve both lost a good amount of weight. And we\’re pretty close when it comes to who has lost more…Lisa\’s only behind a few pounds. That\’s a very good thing for me because we\’ve got a side bet going that I want to win!
I went in to my son\’s classroom today to volunteer. I was in charge of the accelerated readers in the back of the room. In the midst of my hunger (and while listening to the 4th child read \”Frances Loves Jam on Bread\” for what seemed like the millionth time) someone from the front office came in delivering thank you gifts to all the parents volunteering at the school that day. It was a huge sugar cookie. It looked so yummy! But I totally stashed it in the nearest child\’s desk so I wouldn\’t be tempted to tear into it and eat it right up. I think that was quite nice of me.
That was the highlight of my dieting day. I\’m so proud of myself; and rightly so! But it\’s time to move on. Today I weighed in at one pound less than yesterday. I\’m now at 159 pounds. Day 12 was one of my lowest HCG moments EVER so it\’s not surprising that I only lost one pound even though on Day 13 I behaved very, very well.
I took my HCG three times today as I was supposed to and I took the B-Total Sublingual once (also as I recommended). Lisa says that the HCG stings when she takes it. I think she\’s totally hilarious because I\’ve never noticed anything like that happening. But that\’s just an interesting side note. You\’ll have to find out for yourself if it\’s her that\’s crazy or me!
For lunch I had chicken (leftovers). First I put chopped up tomatoes and onions on Melba Toasts and then I put the shredded chicken on top of that. It was a pretty good little lunch. I had it with strawberries on the side. And strawberries always seem to be the perfect finishing touch. I tried to make sure I drank water all day long and it was a bit tedious just so you know. But I do think that after all the trouble I went to I was able to get in plenty of water.
For dinner I decided that I needed to step away from chicken so I made steaks. It was a great night. Steak is my daughter\’s favorite food. And my son really likes it as well. So we were all happy. They didn\’t much like the asparagus that I paired with it and they got to have fresh french bread in comparison to my Melba Toasts. But we all liked the Mock Apple Cobbler that I put together afterwards.
Amelia Handley majored in exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she\’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
