Day 20 on HCG!

I feel like bursting into song…something about it being my 20th day on my 25 day HCG therapy for weight loss program. If I could sing at all (or compose likeable lyrics) I might actually do it. Even after I complete the 25 days I have to stick to more rules…the rules of the maintenance diet, but that’s not nearly as strict as what I’m on right now.

But regardless of the additional time required for the maintenance diet I’m ecstatic to be able to say that I’m on my 20th day of the low calorie portion of the homeopathic HCG diet. Having said that…I didn’t lose any weight today. But it didn’t bother me because my jeans hardly fit. And I have to run to the store to look for a new belt. And that is a fun outing!

I took my B-Total and then took my first dose of HCG. I took my other two doses of HCG as I normally do; right before lunch and right before dinner. I’ve become really accustomed to the schedule of not eating/drinking for 15 minutes before I take it and then not eating or drinking anything for 15 minutes afterwards. I thought I’d hate that and mess it up all the time, but it wasn’t as difficult as I imagined.

I went out to buy a new blender (since my old one broke months ago) because I really like the sound of some of the smoothie recipes in the HCG Diet Direct Cookbook. The first one I decided to try was Orange Slush. I made it for lunch along with grilled chicken, asparagus and Melbas. I really like the slush and know the kids will love it, too. I immediately decided they could have it for breakfast before school tomorrow.

Dinner was baby spinach, Melba Toasts and grilled chicken. I got the baby spinach recipe from the HCG cookbook. I know that I’m not supposed to eat the same protein for lunch and dinner in the same day, but I was feeling extra, extra lazy and I broke that rule. There was already leftover chicken in the fridge, after all.

I decided to have another Orange Slush after dinner and didn’t think about the fact that the blender is really quite loud. It woke the kids up, of course! So we all had Orange Slush. They loved it and they DO want to have it for breakfast in the morning.

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.
