Day 1

Rick came home last night and saw the cabbage soup and begged me not to do this. He believes that when I diet...he diets. I knew I would get this response from him and so I made a lasagna. I hope it lasts him a week. Knowing I was not going to back down from my commitment he grabbed Allie and they locked themselves in a room and started wrapping and writing. They emerged with a gift for my birthday. I refused to open because I still have 5 days until my big day. I was given no choice but to open it and was happy to see a gift card for a stay at La Costa Resort and a spa treatment. Rick gave me a big grin and said "see you can't start this diet...lets go and have some fun." Well...I did start the diet and I also looked up raw food restaurants and was able to come up with a few. He will be so surprised!

Today I ate an apple, pear and carrot juice for breakfast.
For lunch dinner and as a snack I had BIG bowls of cabbage soup.
