Brian and I aren't obese by any means, but we're definitely not as thin as we would like to be. Everyday I seem to resemble the Pillsbury Doughboy more and more. Seriously, if somebody else decides to poke my belly I don't know what I'll do. Probably eat them...
So Brian had the idea of starting the Cabbage Soup Diet, which basically consists of eating cabbage soup for 7 days straight. Sounds delicious, right? But each day in the plan is different. The first day, today, allows me to eat as much cabbage soup as I want along with as much fruit as I want. Plus lots of water to drink! So for breakfast I had cantaloupe and strawberries; lunch was cabbage soup, peaches, and watermelon; and for dinner I had more cabbage soup, grapes, an apple and an orange. I've also had about 8 glasses of water, which is a lot for me!
For a man my height (5'8") I should ideally weigh between 139 to 169 pounds. I am right at the top of that range (168) and that's scary! But apart from weight, I want to lose inches in my belly. That's really our main focus here: losing that gut. My gut is 35 inches around, while my waist is only 30 inches. My stomach literally hangs over my belt and that is not sexy. Not sexy at all.
So wish me luck, kids! I'll be keeping you posted every day... unless, of course, I die from hunger.
