R1P2 Day 11 = 150.6 (+0.4)

Weight: 150.6
So a .4 increase but I kinda expected it. I mean, my system was completely flushed by that tea and since I've just to have another bathroom break for that...it's just expected.

So I've decided to eat my heavier meal at lunch also and have something a little lighter for dinner.
I'm also considering looking into something to prevent any sort of back up in my system.

Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee
             1 organic orange
Lunch: Cabbage Chili Taco
          2 melba toasts
Dinner: Same as lunch
Snack: None because I feel extra full today

Gonna try a new recipe today, a ground beef and cabbage thing. Will post the details after I try it.

Thanks helderheid for the drop in and support! The whole comment system on here confuses me so I figure it'd be easier this way.

Update 1:
Oh my word. Just finished lunch and I couldn't get on here fast enough to tell you about this amazing recipe.

Here is the recipe:

HCG Cabbage (or Tomato) Chili/Taco

100 grams lean ground beef or chicken breast (I went with 95% lean ground beef)
100 grams cabbage or 100 grams ripe tomato
2 Cups water
*1 tsp ground cumin
*1 tsp chili powder
*1 tsp ground thyme
*1 tsp oregano
*2 cloves garlic
*salt and pepper


Cook meat, and minced garlic, add 2 cups water and spices. When water is very hot, add cabbage. Cook until cabbage is tender, then add tomato. The longer you cook the tomato, the softer it will become. The more garlic is cooked, the more it loses it's taste.

(My variation, once it was all cooked I wrapped the mixture in a steamed cabbage leave with a generous amount of Lousiana Hot Sauce)
*This is a suggestion. Use enough it tastes good.

(original: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=871899 but this one involves two veggies, which isn't allowed which is why I suggested to pick one)

So I went with the cabbage because I figured it'd be a little more filling.
It was so delicious, I cannot wait for dinner tonight because I'm lucky enough to have leftovers!

One of my problems is that I had to run out for the hot sauce so my mom cooked up my recipe...and in doing so cooked a whole pound of 95% lean ground beef. Measuring was a little tricky and I'm said to say I weighed it after it was already cooked, but it was also weighed with the cabbage already mixed in.
So to be safe (and I hope this is okay) I had just under 1 cup of the mixture.
I thought it would be safe since we are allowed two cups of the cabbage.

It also really filled me up. Give it a try! This is definitely one that will be repeated and used even after I'm out of this phase.

R1P2 Day 3 = 156.2 (-2.2)

Round 1, Phase 2, Day 3

I need to get ready to leave but a quick update
Weight: 156.2 (how did that happen?)

I'll update this post later but let me make bullet points for reference sake
-B12 needle issues
-err....and I guess that's it for now.

Update:
Okay, more than half way through the day

Okay the B12 needles the dr gave me were...screwed up somehow. Two of them were cracked or something because it wouldn't fill properly, then after a few minutes of fussing they started leaking.
My mother assisted me since she had gotten hers to work earlier that day. The needle is also longer and thicker. So I failed at giving it to myself, once again my mother had to step in and stick me. I just can't see a needle that thick go into me.

Now I'm hoping this hunger will pass.
I've read that it's typical for the first few days.
Today is a little tough, all I wanted during my binge days was clean fresh healthy food...and now that the diet has started I want PB&J sandwiches, oatmeal milk....and buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing. Not all together at once though..Hi gross.
It seems I only want what I can't have. The appetite suppressant isn't helping much. Let's see how it is in a few days.

Breakfast: 5 Large Strawberries
Lunch: 1 Medium Tomato
         3 oz of Tilapia
         Grissini Breadstick
Dinner: 3.5 oz of Tilapia
           1 Medium Tomato

I will not be eating the same thing everyday, my mother and I were just caught a little unprepared due to the start of the kitchen being re-done and my father came home. Since my father and brother are not doing the diet they have been fussy all week.
The tomato was chopped and drizzled with balsamic vinegar which is on the allowed list, just in moderation.
Still a little hungry...craving carbs...chocolate cake kind of carbs...but I'm fighting it.


I found a really great site with recipes. It's a pdf file but it is very useful and definitely one to remember: http://www.yourhcgdiet.com/documents/HCG_Diet_Recipes.pdf
As I try new recipes I'll post which ones and thoughts on them

Will update after dinner
