Cabbage Soup Diet Day #1

Last night I stayed up late concocting cooking a large pot of Cabbage Soup. Looking (and feeling) much like a witch creating her brew, I happily chopped and sliced and diced all kinds of yummy veggies into one great big pot. The diet is pretty simple – cabbage, celery, carrots, onions, and mushrooms along with some spices and tomato juice – and thankfully I like all of the ingredients involved, so I figured this was going to be a “piece of cake” – well… cabbage.

Cabbage Soup Diet

A few weeks ago a couple Blogger friends of mine did the Cabbage Soup Diet to test it out and kind of give a “jump start” to their weightloss efforts. Trisha from MomDot has never really struggled with her weight but wanted to take off a few pounds, and Kim from Accidental Mommies has been a real inspiration with her weightloss over the 6 months or so that I have known her. They both managed to get through an entire week – both a little bit “lighter” because of it.

And Then It Hit Me…

So here I sit. My first day officially as a full time CEO for Party Plan Divas, Inc, and full time Consultant for my Party Plan Company – with no excuses, no one “holding my hand”, and nothing holding me back. Am I still scared? TERRIFIED doesnt even come close. But it was a Breakthrough for me to realize that it was only my Self Doubt that is standing in my way.

Indi and the Tennis Ball

The other day on Good Morning America they were talking about how people so closely resemble their dogs… not in looks, but in personality. Well, many of you have seen pictures of my dog Indi, but for those who HAVENT seen her – she is a 3 pound chihuahua that is about the color of dirty dishwater! So it got me thinking… how are Indi and I alike… might GMA be on to something?

The Extra Degree – an excerpt from my favorite book!

The Extra Degree

At 211 degrees, water is hot.

At 212 degrees, it boils.

And with boiling water, comes steam.

And with steam, you can power a train.
