I am not losing weight like I want so today I have started the 7 day cabbage soup diet. So far so good but really it has only been a half a day. Today is the day where you eat only fruit and then all the cabbage soup you want. My husband does all the cooking and he hasn't made the soup yet (that is because I only told him about it this morning). He will make the soup when he gets off of work this afternoon so then I'll have a huge bowl of soup for dinner and a few glasses of water. So far today I have eaten 4 apples, 1 orange and drank about 5 glasses of water. I just want to jump start my weight lost. For the past few days I have been walking. According to my fitbit, I have walked 10,000 steps, 5,195 steps, 8,082 steps, 5,777 steps and today I am going to try again for 10,000 but don't know if I can make it there because I am only at 3,771. According to the American Heart Association we should walk 10,000 steps a day but when you have a sit down job to me that is kind of hard so we shall see.
I am so determined not to gain back my 90+ lbs and to lose more weight. I am going to know what it feels like to sit on a bus comfortably.
A church member's daughter performed at the Apollo last week and I rode on a bus with a group of people to New York to support her. Four hours going and four hours going home on that bus and I was in agony. I was way too big for the seats. I felt so sorry for my husband. He was hanging out in the isle and every time someone walked passed he would apologize. I had a great time in New York. That is where I walked the 10,000 steps. I walked so far away from the Apollo that I had to Uber back because I was just not physically fit to make the trip.
I had only been to Manhattan before to see plays and to sight-see. I had never been to Harlem, they have a lot of stores. We did a lot of walking but I didn't buy anything. We went to the Harlem Tavern to eat but I can't really tell you if they have good food or not because I just ate a salad.
I wish I could have stayed in New York, maybe spend the night, catch a play -- ah well, maybe one day. God has blessed us with New York, He definitely will do it again.
