Well it’s happened. I forgot to weigh myself this morning. Remember how I told you that I’m a forgetful type of person? Well, I warned you. This is the first time I forgot during the course of the HCG therapy, though. So that’s not too bad.
But that means that I’ve got no weight loss or weight gain to report today. The weekend is heading my way (it’s Thursday) and I’m already thinking about a couple functions that I’ll be attending. They’re definitely a “can’t miss” and I’m not sure how it’s going to work out for the HCG diet. But I keep telling myself to quit worrying about it and focus on today.
My two kids are catching on a bit and they’ll randomly ask me when I’ve got something in my hand in the kitchen, “Is that on your diet, Mom?” I’ve got to point out that it’s too annoying, but at the same time. It’s kind of helpful. I wouldn’t want my kids to associate me with “cheating.”
I took the kids to school (they were late this morning) and then I took my HCG therapy drops and B-Total vitamin supplement. I picked up the cookbook and decided to glance through and see if there were any new recipes I’d like to try in the near future. I went to the store and got what I’d need for: Chicken Asparagus Soup, Turkey Tomato Soup and Orange Cremesicle. I got some other basics while I was there, too. The kids love apples so I’m always short! I like to go the regular grocery store rather than Walmart because the produce seems to be better and last longer. I’m not sure why that would be, but that’s how it seems to work out.
Plus they don’t have the Melba Toast Spicy 3 Pepper variety at Walmart. So that’s enough reason right there for me to stick to the local grocer. I guess you never know what’s going to be important. I should probably leave a “suggestion” in the Walmart suggestion box. Maybe the buyer would add it to the next order just for me, but I doubt it!
I eventually made the Turkey and Tomato soup. It definitely wasn’t one of the recipes that sounded particularly good to me, but once it was finished I loved it. I seem to really love all the recipes compiled into the HCG therapy cookbook HCG Diet Direct put together. I did use fresh herbs in the soup so that may have boosted the yumminess just a tad. I skipped over my favorite Spicy 3 Pepper Melba Toasts and instead opted for original since I was going to be dipping them in my soup and then I had an apple a few hours after lunch.
For dinner I made Filet Mignon. (I did take my HCG first in case you thought I forgot). I even pulled the bacon off before I cooked it and then cooked it up for my kids. They love bacon. Smart little boogers, aren’t they? The Filet was great. I’ve always been a steak girl so there’s nothing wrong there. I hadn’t beef in a while and it was extra good after all the chicken and turkey. I’m still thinking about where I might go in my area to try some buffalo. That was listed as a really lean protein to use on the diet. Anyway, I had steamed cabbage with dinner. Then after dinner when I went to make the Orange Cremesicle for dessert I realized that I don’t have a blender. I broke it several months ago and forgot about it. So the grapefruit was whipped out to replace it. The kids were far less stoked for grapefruit than they were for Orange Cremesicle, but they got over it!

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.
