Hcg Diet Phase 2 - Day 24

I woke up today, weighed myself and saw that I had gained roughly 1/2 a pound. Grrr! I stood there for a second, trying to figure out why. Was it the Aveeno I put on my hands two nights ago? Maybe the tablespoon of half & half I drank with my coffee yesterday? I know I didn't go over my calories. I don't really know why I gained. This is just so frustrating, when I'm eating the way I should and I either don't lose anything, or I gain a bit. I know it was just a little bit, but I've pretty much been at the same weight since Saturday. That means I haven't lost any weight in 5 days! And before that it was the same thing. I really hope I lose SOMETHING tomorrow morning. Maybe enough to help me to keep going, otherwise I'm leaning towards the end of taking my drops being today. Then I will stay on the LCD until Friday(two days from today) and have the weekend to start Phase 3! This is my plan, probably even if I am magically down 3 pounds tomorrow. I CAN'T WAIT to start Phase 3! I've had enough with this last bit, not losing much, and not cheating. I'm not even using deodorant, Hair conditioner, hand cream(except for when my hands get so dry and cracked that I just can't take it anymore) or anything. Anyways, we will see if I have a change of heart tomorrow morning. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Tomorrow you will find out.

Today I drank some green tea for breakfast. For lunch I had teriyaki chicken stir fry and an orange. I was hungry when lunchtime came, but I wasn't at all hungry when it came time for dinner.

I ended up eating dinner a little later than usual and I didn't feel like cooking up some meat. I decided on broccoli frittatas with apple slices. I normally would have put red peppers and cheese in them(that's how I made them for my family) but I can't have red peppers, and I didn't have many other vegetables in the house, so I used about 100g of broccoli instead.

They actually turned out pretty good! They would have been great with some cheddar in them, but without, they were still pretty good.

Here's what I did;

Broccoli Frittatas

1 egg
3 egg whites
a sprinkle each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
1 tbsp milk
100g finely chopped(or blended) broccoli or spinach, Kale or asparagus


Preheat oven to 350F. Blend or chop your broccoli. Beat together your eggs, spices and milk. Mix in your broccoli until it is well combined. Spray tins with a small amount of pam or rub a small amount of coconut oil in them. Pour the mixture evenly into four muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes before you try to remove them. They will settle a bit while they cool. Enjoy!
