Hcg Phase 2 - Day 25

Today I decided I would be finished with P2 and stopped taking my drops. I decided to do this because I haven't been losing much weight these past two weeks. I've been on a stall or whatever is going on for 6 days now. I figured that I'm not going to lose a bunch more weight within the next couple weeks, so I might as well end now. I've done more than the minimum number of days that you are supposed to on P2, so here I go! You are supposed to keep eating a VLCD for the next two days, until the hormone is out of your system. So today I continued on my 500 calorie diet. I wasn't any hungrier than I would have been if I had taken the drops today, which is good because that was one of the things that I was worried about. So tomorrow will be my last day on P2. YAY! You have no idea how excited I am to finally be able to eat semi-normal again. Tomorrow I am going to try and look up some great new recipes on the weekend for P3. I'm already planning my Canada day bbq burgers. Obviously without a bun, but I'm super excited to put more than one veggie on my burger!

Today was extremely hard for cravings. I'm not sure if it was because I stopped taking my drops, or because I've just had a rough week with baby teething and just felt like I didn't want to deal with anything today. Whichever it was, on days where I am super stressed, I ALWAYS get my husband to bring me home a Frappuccino from Starbucks. This is my go to de-stressifying treat that always makes me feel better. I REALLY just wanted him to come straight home and bring me that sugary goodness. Whats more, is that my dad came over and brought himself and my kids some chocolate covered berries, butter tarts and full fat cream for his coffee. I mean COME ON! Well I am happy to say that I did not cave one bit. I'm super proud of myself, but at the same time I can tell that getting sugary snacks to help me de-stress is going to be a tough habbit to break for me. I'm going to have to figure out something else I can do at those times when I'm just so stressed out and upset that all I want to do is grab a bowl of KD and some ice cream and head straight to my room! Yep, I'm going to have to learn a few tricks so that I'm not tempted to turn to food in times of insanity. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow and to the weekend where I can try some new meals out. Hopefully from here it will be smooth sailing! I doubt it, but it will definitely be easier!

For breakfast I made everyone eggs, toast and strawberries. I made myself some scrambled eggs(1 egg and 3 egg whites)and cabbage. I wasn't really sure how this was going to taste, but I was running low on groceries and cabbage was pretty much all I had left. I added some salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a little soy sauce. I cooked the eggs and the cabbage together until the eggs were completely done and starting to brown. This actually turned out pretty great. If I were low on vegetable choices again, I would definitely make this.

 For dinner I had some baked tilapia and some broccoli. This is always great and I will continue to make this, even when I am finished doing the Hcg diet.

Goodnight!
