Last night I took the HCG drops. I know, I said I wouldn't since I am having my period but I was so hungry yesterday I hated the feeling. I took the drops and voila! no more hunger. :) My dysmenorrhea wasn't as painful either so I'm not sure if that's because of HCG or not but I always expect to have painful dysmenorrhea all the time. Well, I'm not complaining. I feel good this morning. :)
Oh, one more thing. Today marks a very special moment... at 160 I am now back to normal BMI :) I so hope I'd lose at least 5 more pounds... I'll take 155! :)
So my husband cooks for me the past few days and for lunch today he cooked shrimp and cauliflower in orange juice. Cauliflower is not in the original protocol but it's okay to use on phase 2 but you have to check first if you'd stall with it or not. In my case, I indulge in cauliflower because it doesn't cause me to stall at all. He mixed some spices on the orange juice with water. It was just about a teaspoon of orange juice, actually. It tasted so good. :) He's making my diet feel much easier. I can't cook so every time I try to mix up my own meal, there's 50/50 chance that it'd taste awful! LOL
Congratulations on 160!!!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS to you Lila! I know that has to be an AMAZING feeling knowing you are down 16 pounds and the inches too....I think for me the inches mean more to me then the actual pounds! WOW so very happy for you....Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletethanks Beth and Shyla :) Yes, I'm loving the inches more than the pounds but it's nice to see my weight dropping again. :) I lost 7 inches off my waist so far and I'm happy with that but somehow I feel like I just gave birth again with my tummy sagging like this. hahaha! Might start wearing a girdle. Hope that'll help it.
