January 2014

As I probably undid all my hard work over the last couple of months over two and half weeks of Christmas, I was SOOOO excited to try the 12 diets/ 6 months challenge I have set myself.

The FIRST CHALLENGE I have set myself is *drum roll*

The Cabbage Soupe Diet

This is a classic diet which I doubt any of you haven't heard of. It is known for letting you drop pounds quickly and it is meant to help detox your system and get you up on your way towards healthy eating.

Currently, I am on Day 2. To fully cleanse my system I fasted on Day 0. However, I did too much exercise (shouldn't really do this when fasting) and therefore I had an apple and a bag of lettuce to get me through the day because I was beginning to feel faint and not focus in lectures (I am at University).

Here is a list of what I have eaten the last two days.

Day 1

2 oranges

1 baby apple (i have never seen apples this small!!)

Cabbage Soup

1 orange

Cabbage Soup

Cabbage Soup

1 orange
1 apple

Exercise - FitnessBlender Kettlebell Workout
                 FitnessBlender - Tank Top Arms Workout

Day 2

Cabbage Soup
Carrot

Cabbage Soup

Handful of carrots (about six)

Beetroot Salad (so yum!!!)

Exercise: - Abs and Obliques Complete Workout (FitnessBlender)
               - Abs standing up Workout (FitnessBlender)

(I may have some more carrots or cabbage soup later).

This is what I have eaten so far on the diet. I must admit today I woke up feeling very faint and unenergised. It was weird. I also had a foggy type headache. It was hard to get the motivation to exercise but I am glad I did. I also found it hard to do university work. I kept falling asleep whilst reading and I didn't stop being hungry till 3 in the afternoon when I had about six carrots in a row. I also felt a lot weaker when doing my exercises. Tomorrow I want to do HIIT and it is routine I am used to but I wonder how tired I will feel during it tomorrow. Then i'll really be able to tell how tired I am feeling due to this diet. I am really looking forward to Friday. That'll be the day I can eat Bananas and Skimmed Milk. I am not even that big of a fan of bananas but the concept of eating them is getting me so excited!!
