Ok, we have 2 days till we start the HCG diet. Doug and I were going to shop at Whole Foods, but since we had two kids in tow who weren't being the most cooperative, we did our shopping at Ingles. Our grocery items were pretty interesting and divided. We had food for the kids, then food for our binging days and then food (if that's what you wanna call it) for the other 47 days of the diet.
The binging day food was fun to shop for. We have biscuits, cuz Doug makes excellent biscuits and gravy. That is a perfect "fatty" food to stuff up on. Oh, I even had him pull out a pound of bacon to make the gravy with (and to eat of course!) We got some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I've never had them, so what a better time to try them out? Oh and I got 2 blocks of cheese. Mmmmm, I love cheese and crackers! I'm going to snack on those as well. We bought fixins for a stew; meat, potatoes, corn and green beans. I plan on having some pasta of some sort, so I bought some garlic parmesean rolls to go with that. I also would like to have some sloppy joe's too. They suggest eating every four hours, so I'll do my best :)
The 500 calorie food shopping was pretty eye opening. We brought the list of approved foods of which between both Doug and I, we whittled it down to the following:
oranges, apples, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, radishes, organic chicken, tri tip steak, 93% fat free ground beef, fish and 2 cases of bottled water.
Yes, that is all we will be consuming for the next 6 weeks. Hard to imagine that one will not starve, but according to the protocol, the drops will do the work.
I am getting myself into the mindset for this. I am excited. I really am looking forward to wearing some of the clothes I have been "saving" for my skinny self again!
Ok, gonna sign out for now. I'll try and blog again tomorrow :)
