I started on another weight loss challenge on Oct 6. With several other women. We started with a detox and mine was smoothies and continued with trying to eat right. I lost 7 pounds the 1st 2 weeks and then there was nothing.
For the month of November we are starting off with another detox. This time it's a 10 day Cabbage Soup Diet detox. Cabbage Soup wooooo what can I say.....Weeeelllll first let me just say I hate soup. 2nd the soup wasn't actually bad but I hate soup. The other ladies are doing a different version of the one I am doing. My version only allowed me to eat fruit on certain days, I could eat a potato on day 2, I could eat steak and/or chicken on day 5 and 6 and of course cabbage soup at least 3-4 times a day.
Ok needless to say this has been very hard. Eating the same soup everyday for 8 days (so far) is driving me overboard. But the silver lining that is shining so brightly is MY SOUP IS GONE. I made 2 batches of the soup and I ate the last bowl tonight. So for the next two days I will be doing smoothies. I am excited to see what the 10 days will bring. So far I am down 7 pounds. I believe I would have done better if I had been exercising last week but mother nature was paying a visit and exercise was definitely out of the picture. Oh yeah and I had a couple of slip ups. Ooops. But basically a pound a day... I will surely take it.
We end this challenge on Dec. 23 so I need to step up my game. I need to be 180 or at least 190 by then. That's what 22 to 32 pounds in a month and a half. Whoa. Lets see how close I can get to that. Anything and everything is possible when you are determined. I just have to resist my cravings. OK that's all I have for now catch you up later. Smooches and as always HAPPY LOSING.
