Article 21: Day 9 on the Homeopathic HCG Diet
So remember how I was telling you the other day that I was impressed that even though I'm known for eschewing a "daily routine" I hadn't yet forgotten to weigh myself in the morning as required during HCG therapy? Well it happened. Today I forgot to weigh myself. I've got no idea why; I think I just got too comfortable.
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 kids have started to ask me if stuff that I'm contemplating in the kitchen is "on my diet" so that's helpful (if very annoying). It's kind of belittling to have an 8 year old and a 9 year old reminding you to stick to your guns when it comes to eating healthy foods.
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.
Walmart also has a definite lack of Melba Toast variety. Alright...really they just don't have the one flavor that's my favorite: Spicy 3 Pepper. I'm going to have to stop mentioning it in every article because you're going to think I'm obsessive. But they are amazingly tasty.
I ended up making Turkey and Tomato soup for lunch. It didn't sound good when I was reading the recipe, but I really liked how it turned out. I put in a little bit of fresh herbs since I had them in the garden, but other than that I followed the recipe to the tee. I added some Melba Toast (original flavor...I thought I'd try them for dipping and scooping in the soup). And I saved my fruit so I could snack on an apple mid-afternoon.
I had Filet Mignon for dinner (after I took my HCG). I pulled the bacon off prior to cooking and then cooked it up separately to give to my kids. They love bacon. (Who doesn't, right?) The Filet Mignon was really good. I hadn't had beef in a bit and I was apparently craving it! For my vegetable I had steamed cabbage. I know most people don't have a liking for this vegetable, but I've got a strange preference for it so I thought it was great with a little salt and a lot of pepper. I was going to have the Orange Cremesicle for an after dinner treat until I realized that I don't have a blender right now. I broke it a few months ago and it hadn't occurred to me to buy a new one. So that was out. I had half a grapefruit instead. - 17268
