Article 20: Day 8 On My HCG Diet

Ugh. I weighed myself this morning (Day 8) 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!

With my turkey burger I had an orange (I think I’m done messing around with oranges…too many seeds) and crackers. I tried the Sesame flavor and I’m “jonesing” for my Spicy 3 Pepper variety. They were so much better. I’ll have to go back to the grocery store that I found them at. They didn’t have them when I went to restock my HCG foods at Walmart so I ended up with a different variety of Melba Toast. It’s so strange that sometimes the Melba Toasts aren’t even with the crackers in the cracker section. I haven’t tried the crunchy breadsticks that I heard mentioned in some of the HCG weight loss reviews, but I’ll look for them next time. (They are also oddly placed apparently. I heard they were usually in the Italian food aisle with the spaghetti sauce and pasta).

For dinner all of us had grilled chicken with my favorite Creole seasoning. I love the recipes that me and the kids really like. It makes me feel good that they’re eating healthy. I just have to make sure that I don’t put too much Creole on their chicken. If I do they think it’s too “HOT” and they won’t eat it. For me…it’s the more Creole the better. I love spicy! I had a romaine salad with dinner and then later that night when I was watching a movie I had the mock apple cobbler. It was another good recipe from the HCG Diet Direct cookbook. I’m going to have to get online and start leaving some of my own weight loss reviews around for others to read. The smell of the mock apple cobbler was absolutely lovely.

If I’m being honest I’ll have to admit that it smells more delicious than it tastes, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste really good. It just means that it smells ridiculously and insanely wonderful. I need a candle with that smell. It would be fantastic.

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.

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.
