Alright…so think back. Do you remember how I was telling you the other day that I was impressed that even though I’m known for having a “daily routine” I hadn’t yet forgotten to weigh myself in the morning as required during prescription HCG therapy for weight loss? Well it’s finally happened. Today I totally forgot to weigh myself.
I’ve got no idea why; I think I just got too comfortable and forgot that I had to consciously remember to do the things that are making the diet work.
So I’ve got no weight change to report.
It’s Thursday. The weekend is coming up and I’ve got a few functions to attend in the near future that I’m a little stressed about.
My kids are now asking me if stuff that I’m contemplating in the kitchen is “on my diet” so that’s helpful (even if it is extremely vexing). It is kind of lowering to have an 8 year old and a 9 year old remind you to stick to your diet periodically.
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.
Plus Walmart doesn’t have the Melba Toast Spicy 3 Pepper variety. So that’s enough reason right there for me to stick to my local grocer. I guess you never know what’s going to be important. I should probably leave a “suggestion” in the Walmart suggestion box. Maybe the buyer would add it to the next order just for me, but I doubt it!
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. 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’ll have to try the Orange Cremesicle recipe on another day after I go out and buy a blender.
