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.

I took my HCG again around 11 and then had lunch. Today I made the Turkey burgers that are in the cookbook. It’s basically ground turkey and green onions with lettuce as a bun. And you’re probably getting tired of hearing it, but it was so good! It might be my favorite of the recipes so far. With that I had half a grapefruit. I have Stevia to use for sweetener, but it happened to be sweet enough on its own. If I get the pink ones I don’t always need to add something to make it sweet enough to eat.

I took the last set of HCG drops before dinner. I finished off my leftover chili for dinner along with an apple and some crackers. My kids wanted some chili, but I only had one serving left so they had to have cheese Quesadillas. Poor kids, right? I’ll have to make a big pot of the chili so they can enjoy it with me next time. I wasn’t sure they’d like it, but they loved it. (I did spare a couple bites for each of them).

With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.
