Day 15: Slight loss, but motivated on HCG
Woke up this morning of Day 15 on the HCG diet telling myself that if nothing has changed I want to re-evaluate. Of course the scale teased me with another 1/2 pound weight loss from the previous day. Enough motivation? I hope so. I’m really concerned about my travels starting Sunday. I will be in a foreign land where trying new foods is my passion. Hopefully the food will suck :-).
Yesterday’s meal plan was pretty simple (and not bad):
- 2 apples (Gala)
- Lunch: grilled chicken breast and chopped asparagus. I basically did a little stir-fry (no oil of course) with these ingredients adding some curry/cumin/lemon for taste. I had too much spices so it wasn’t the best, but it satisfied the hunger for the lunch time.
- Dinner: decided we still had too much asparagus so I did the stir-fry again but this time with shrimp and just garlic as the season…much better. Add some Melba toast as a side dish :-)
Today I think I may do much of the same…it was tasty enough and having smaller bite sizes made me think that I had a larger meal…who cares if my mind plays tricks on me right? I’m out of Gala apples though (my favorite) so I’ll be going with Fuji.
Next week I’ll be on a plane for a long time. Plane food sucks…we all know that. I think my travel day might be an opportunity for me to try the 6 apple day plateau breaker (assuming I’m still hovering on Sunday). If I can get past security at the airport and find a place that sells apples, I might be okay. Otherwise the airport travel day will suck…usually NOTHING healthy in the airports.
Day 15: 204.5 pounds
