Alright…so think about one of the older articles. Do you remember the one in which I was telling you that I was impressed that even though I’m known for having absolutely NO “daily routine” I hadn’t yet forgotten to weigh myself in the morning as required during prescription HCG therapy for weight loss? I was doing so well! And now it’s finally happened. Today I totally forgot to weigh myself.
I don’t have any idea what made me forget. It was a normal day with normal happenings. I think I just forgot that I have to actively attempt to follow the rules by making sure that do what it says I need to do in the protocol. Today’s Thursday and since I didn’t weigh myself I can’t tell you how much I weigh. I’m a little nervous because this weekend we’re going to a few fun, social activities like a birthday and a bbq.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that there will be something I can eat at the upcoming gatherings. I’m just hoping that whatever they have is at least a little bit approved for eating during my HCG therapy. But I’ll just have to wait and see.

My kids have started to get involved. They ask me if stuff that I am contemplating in the kitchen is “on my diet.” That’s helpful (even if it is extremely vexing…alright…I’ll be honest. It’s massively irritating). It is kind of belittling to have an eight year old and a nine year old reminding you to stick to your guns because you’re supposed to be dieting.
After I got the kids off to school, I took my HCG injection and my B-Total and then picked up the cookbook to flip through it and pick a few new recipes to try. That way I could get the ingredients while I was out at the store.
I decided to get stuff so I could try Chicken Asparagus Soup, Turkey Tomato Soup and Orange Cremesicle. And on top of that I knew I was low on fruits and vegetables so I visited the produce section for those items as well.
I decided that going to Walmart for produce is just a last resort if the “normal” grocery store is closed. Their fresh produce is WAY better. And it lasts longer in my fridge so that I don’t have to go to the store as frequently. The Walmart options are a little bit cheaper in most cases, but it’s worth it if the fruit stays good for a few days longer.
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 had Melba toast with my soup (original flavor is great for dipping). And I saved my snack for mid-afternoon. It ended up being an apple.
I had Filet Mignon for dinner. 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 planned on making an Orange Cremesicle after dinner, but then I realized that I broke my blender months ago and never replaced it. So that’s a bummer. We’ll have to go back to the store tomorrow, get a new blender and then try that particular recipe. It sounds great!
