Getting Moving on HCG Tomorrow: Article 12

Tomorrow is the day! I’m starting the HCG diet. I’m going to follow the HCG protocol diet for 25 days. I ordered my HCG from HCG Diet Direct. They’ve got a homeopathic HCG weight loss formula that sounds great. My friend Lisa has agreed to do the diet with me so I’ll have a bit of added inspiration (it’s just healthy to have competition, right?) I’ve gone through the HCG protocol diet booklet outlining the rules and basics and I’ve read up on a bunch of healthy hints and tips.

Today the plan is to read through the manual one more time (as I’ve said in previous articles…it’s short and sweet). That way I’ll be clear on the HCG protocol diet so nothing surprises me tomorrow. I also need to go to the grocery store. I’m very glad that they provided a sample shopping list because while the diet is very limited…it’s still different enough from my normal routine that I’m a bit unsure how to start. So I’ve got my shopping list and I’m off to the store.

I am finally back at home after running out to the store. That was the worst timing EVER. I forgot that everyone is there right now getting their forgotten items for Thursday’s big feast. I guess that’s one negative that I’ve discovered about starting the diet the day before Thanksgiving. You have to shop for your fresh produce right in the midst of the crazy holiday bustle.

But I got what I needed and I’m back. Tomorrow’s the day before Thanksgiving and Lisa and I are both going to start the diet with the first day of loading. Thanksgiving is going to be the most perfect loading day EVER. I won’t even have to choose one type of dessert. I could try a few and not even feel bad because I’m supposed to be trying to eat as many high fat calories as possible. Tell me that’s not perfect; especially considering that directly following the Thanksgiving “loading” fun I’ll be embarking on a 500 calorie per day diet. Ouch! At least I’ll be able to bid a proper farewell to a lot of yummy foods I won’t be touching for quite a while!

One thing that other dieters say over and over is that you never want to find yourself hungry without something HCG approved on hand. It’s not as easy as running through the nearest drive thru so you have to think ahead. So I’m taking their advice and trying to start off on the right foot. I got everything on the suggested shopping list. It wasn’t a lot. It was basically fresh fruits and vegetables, approved spices that add some flavor without breaking the rules of the HCG protocol diet…that kind of thing.

So now I’m just going to kick back and relax on my last NO DIET day. My fridge is stocked in preparation for the day after Thanksgiving. I’m definitely stocked up for my “loading” days with all the holiday crap laying around and in preparation. I’ve got plans to attend a massive family feast so I don’t think there will be any shortage of calories or fat. So I’m all set. I’ll catch you up on my first day tomorrow! Watch for Article 13!
