Phase 2 - Day 3

Yesterday was good, but I got a little stressed out over the state of the house and ended up spending 1.5 hours cleaning. I then went and worked out, quite vigorously, and I know that's a no-no. I think I would have lost more if I wouldn't have worked out, but I still lost!

Here's my menu for today:

Breakfast (75 cals)

Apple - 5oz at 15cals per oz

Tea/Coffee

Lunch (178 cals)

Chicken - 4.5oz at 31cals per oz

Cabbage - 5.5oz at 7cals per oz

I made a yummy soup - I'll post the recipe after I finish the menu.

Dinner (192 cals)

Shrimp - 5.3 oz at 30cals per oz

Asparagus - 7.5oz at 6cals per oz

Snack (45 cals)

Strawberries w/Stevia - 5.5oz at 9cals per oz

Weight Loss: 2.5 pounds!

Total Weight Loss: 6 pounds!!!

Here is that chicken/cabbage soup recipe:

Chicken and Cabbage Soup (substitute beef and beef broth if you want)

Ingredients

100 grams chicken (3.5oz - I used 4.5oz since I needed more protein)

Cabbage (5.5oz is what I used, but you can use more if you need more cals from veggies)

2 cups chicken broth (or substitute 1 cup water for 1 cup broth)

2 cloves garlic crushed and minced

¼ teaspoon thyme

¼ teaspoon rosemary

Cayenne to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine chicken and spices in medium saucepan. Bring broth to a boil.

Add cabbage. Reduce heat and simmer for a minimum of 30 minutes. Add

additional water to broth as needed. Variations: change the spices and add

fresh tarragon or turmeric. Add a ¼ lemon with rind to the broth and

simmer for a rich lemon flavor.

Makes 1 serving (1 protein, 1 vegetable)

So there's my recipe. I'll play around with it until I'm happy with the results. So far, being down 6 pounds in two days, I'm VERY happy with my results on hCG!!! AND I'M STILL NOT HUNGRY!
