Article 19: Still Going on the HCG Diet

By Amelia Handley

It's Day 7! One week down, right? I feel like I've reached a milestone in my HCG weightloss system. I've done alright so far. In my first week on the diet I lost 6 pounds. And since the average is from 1 to 2 pounds per day I figure I'm on track. There's room for improvement, but I'm on track.

Yesterday when I weighed myself I went up so when I weighed myself this morning I was happy that I went down. I'm at 162 pounds. Down two pounds from yesterday. I'm feeling like that's pretty dang good. I'm officially at the one pound per day average.

I took the HCG and my B-Total that came with my HCG weightloss system first thing after I weighed myself. (I've been keeping my scale right underneath my bed because my 9 year old daughter started to get obsessed with weighing herself throughout the day. I didn't like her sweet little self to worry about her weight so I hid the scale). I'm not sure if that was a logical reaction or not, but it just seemed like she SO didn't need to worry about it; especially since she's an adorable, skinny little thing.

Regardless of why...I like that the scale is underneath the foot of my bed. It's so easy to whip it out first thing and weigh myself. I haven't forgotten yet. And I figured I would forget sometimes because I'm definitely the forgetful type. I'm not that big on the whole "daily routine" thing that people are always bragging about and saying is so wonderful. It sounds kind of boring to me.

So at lunch I took the HCG and then prepared one of the cookbook's recipes: Turkey Burgers. The ingredients were ground turkey, green onions and seasonings. And something about the combo was just perfect once it was done and I wrapped it in lettuce leaves instead of the traditional bun. If you're thinking about trying the recipes...this is a good one to start with. It was absolutely easy and tasted great. It was my protein and vegetable. Then I added Melba Toasts and a grapefruit and I was all done for lunch.

I remembered to take my HCG before I started dinner. I had the last of my leftover chili with some crackers and an apple. I made the kids something else and it was kind of funny because they both wanted my chili. I, of course, would only share a bite because I couldn't have anything else. So I'll have to make it again next week and make enough for them to have some, too. Apparently that's going to be a new family staple. - 17274
