Today is day 10 of the HCG Diet/Protocol. Earlier today, I went in for my first weigh-in. According to my scale, I have lost 12 lbs. According to theirs, I've lost 9. Either way, I'm happy. I've also lost 8 1/4" inches off of my bust, waist, hips, and thighs combined. I can see and feel a difference already. My clothes fit different, people are noticing, and I feel great.
This past weekend was a bit of a struggle, but I made it just fine. I had two Mother's day dinners and made my own food for both. No one tried to push anything on me. There was no, "Oh, come on, one small piece of cake won't hurt". It really helps that everyone is supporting my efforts.
The thing that makes the diet easier, is that I'm eating food I love. The foods I eat are: grilled or boiled chicken, grilled shrimp, cucumbers, steamed broccoli, salad, roasted asparagus, strawberries, and oranges. I also drink 2 liters of water a day and consume one to two cans of Coke Zero a day. Keep in mind, these are not the only foods I CAN eat, they are just the ones I choose to eat. Everything is quick and easy to make and very satisfying. I can't imagine introducing more foods later. I'm very happy with the quantity of food I am eating now. It has helped me realize that the portions I was consuming before were way off from where they needed to be. And I have plenty of energy to do things. In fact, sometimes I notice that I have way more energy than I had before starting the diet.
My hip and back pain are improving, and my stomach isn't upset after every meal. All in all, things are going great! I'll keep you posted on what happens in the following week!
