HCG – Day 4

OMG, I am so hungry eating cottage cheese only the whole day sucks. There is no way I am going to bed with a headache from hunger.

 I decided to eat some spicy cucumbers & drink some green tea. I am sure if the medical assistant reads my blog she will be so mad. She specifically said please follow the plan to the “t”!

Seriously, how do they expect me to go from eating 5 delightful meals a day to eating only cottage cheese that I hate? I have two more days of cottage cheese torture before I hit the green veggies torture.

Can someone help me with a list of green veggies that are irresistible?

HCG – Days 1-3

Very nervous and with sweaty palms I administered my first shot on Saturday morning at about 7:15 a.m. – Side effects none so far, which is great.

Late Saturday night I noticed that I bruised right by the spot where I administered the shot. I was not thrilled; however I decided to continue with the trial.

On day two I once again gave my self the shot on the other side of my stomach hoping not to bruise. I was a gentle, and avoided squeezing my skin tight. I think I am adapting to the shots for now.  I did the same on day three.

Good thing I haven’t bruised again. For the past three days I have been able to eat regularly. Tomorrow is when the torture will begin – Cottage Cheese!

Starting the HCG Diet

Tomorrow is the grand day, the start of my HCG diet program. I already found a few things that I don’t like about the diet.

1. That I have to inject my self every morning
2. That on the 4-6 day I can only eat Cottage Cheese
3. That on the 7-10 day I can only eat green veggies
4. That the shots make you more fertile.

(Why hire a fertility doctor when you can just lose weight and be more fertile using HCG?)

Today was my 1^st appointment at the Doctor’s Office. I was measured & weighed. I am still weighing the same as I did March 1, 2011 when I started my blog. (179 pounds)

They provided me with 7 shots of HCG & administered a shot of B12 with amino acids. I shall start the first of seven shots tomorrow in the morning before breakfast.  For the next 3 days I am allowed to eat regular meals. One more thing NO alcohol !

Wish me luck.

Days 15-19

A lot has happen thru out these days. I cheated on the 16^th day eating fair food. (Ex: elephant ear, corn, loaded French fries with chicken tenders, lots of Pepsi and ribs)

On the 18^th day which was Saturday I went to the Seminar about the HCG diet. At the seminar they discussed side affects, and the procedure. I got a great deal for a 30 day supply so, I think it’s a must try. My only concern is that I would have to inject my self every morning for 30 days. Apparently, this is the most effect way. I shall keep you updated once I start the procedure.

Last night (19^th day) I had a great meal. All home made with help from my wonderful husband. We had Spicy Cucumbers, Potatoe Salad, Kebab (b.k.a: Carne al pincho) and Fruit Salad for desert.

I am not one to like Cucumbers but I found this refreshing recipe at Momma Jenny’s Kitchen (a blog I follow).

By the way I canceled Shape Lovers Lunches because it was getting expensive. I decided to try to make my own meals lets see how this week is going to work out for me.
