Day 25! It\’s the last day on HCG. The 500 calorie diet is coming to an end. It was a successful venture, and I\’m so glad I did it. But I\’m also looking forward to not limiting myself to 500 calories per day. I\’m really in the habit of taking the oral HCG drops which was fabulous while I was on it, but it\’s kind of funny now that I\’m not supposed to be taking it anymore. (You don\’t take it for the last three days of the low calorie diet).
Today I weighed myself and I\’m at 150 even. That\’s one pound down from yesterday and that\’s 21 pounds down from 25 days ago. You have to love those numbers. In addition to losing over 20 pounds in 25 days I learned to eat healthy, to cook healthy, to control my portion sizes, to drink more water, and to be aware of my weight fluctuations.
I attempted to make a smoothie today. Alright, alright! I thought about it. But it\’s just too dang chilly to really enjoy a frozen beverage. Instead I opted for strawberries with Stevia. I also had turkey tomato soup (a favorite) and Melba Toasts. The soup section was definitely my favorite section of the cookbook, but that could be because it\’s winter!
I put a big pitcher of water on the table first thing in the morning so I\’d know how much I was going through during the day. (I didn\’t want to do anything wrong; my very last day on low calorie should be perfect, right?)
For dinner I made chicken seasoned with Creole along with steamed cabbage. After dinner I made Mock Apple Cobbler. It\’s another one of my favorite recipes. I made sure to use all my favorite recipes on my last day on the diet; kind of like a celebration.
When I was reading some of the oral HCG reviews they indicated that people often continue to lose weight during the maintenance diet. So I guess I can kind of wait and see for that potential added bonus. But even if this is it and I\’ve come to the end of my weight loss at 21 pounds…I\’m absolutely satisfied. I think those are amazing results!
