Today I started my cabbage soup diet. This morning was pretty tough. I have a feeling all day today and tomorrow are going to be rough. I made the cabbage soup last night, and wow it stunk up my house! YUCK! It was sort of time consuming to boil the cabbage, for some reason, it wouldn't get soft. At first I just let it boil without a lid on my pot (and I needed a huge pot to fit all this cabbage in) then when I kept coming back to stir it, it still felt crisp, so I added a lid on the pot and that worked better. In there I had 1/2 white cabbage head and 1/2 purple cabbage head. I added enough water to cover the cabbage which ended up measuring out to about 6 cups. Next I cut up all my vegetables that were needed in this recipe which were, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, green peppers, onions and finally chicken bullions. The recipe actually called for 2-3 garlic cloves, 6 little oniones, and well the rest of the recipe wasn't very detailed on the amount I was suppose to use so I went online and got more information. After I boiled all my ingredients, I mixed it together and VOILA! There we have it.. Cabbage soup!! I had a little tester taste last night and it's actually not bad. It's so purple from the cabbage's color, it dyed all the rest of the ingredients. So today I eat as much soup as I want and as much fruit all day. Since I woke up and started, I feel like I'm sleepy, but this is what I"m expecting anyhow. Tomorrow will be another looooong day and challenge of the Cabbage Soup Diet. Wish me luck :)
