Starbury Sneakers Part 2 • 08.23.06
A couple of days ago, I made mention of the new sneakers, called the Starbury’s. I finally made my way to picking up a pair (at least I thought I would be buying a pair). The sneaker is only available at steveandbarry’s and I drove to Alabama to make it happen. A very big store, cool staff and more importantly $9 sneakers. Seeing them in person made me a believer. I ended buying 4 pairs. But here’s the twist. Steve and Barry’s entered the agreement most likely to bring more customers into their store who will in turn buy other products. And you know what? I think they will do well. Along with the four pairs of sneakers, I ended up buying 3 jackets, a pair of jeans and some t-shirts. Nothing in the store cost more than $14. And I normally wouldn’t brag about something like that but at my age, I am beyond trying to impress others. I spent less than $100 and I think I have impressed someone more important, myself.

Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 5 • 08.19.06
219.4 lbs. Amazing. This diet actually works for anyone trying to lose short term weight. I Will say that in addition to losing 5 pounds in 5 days, my body feels alot better. I feel a little lighter on my feet and I don’t crave sweets and bread.
I will treat myself to a steak tonight as a reward.

Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 4 • 08.18.06
I cheated. Yesterday I had 2 1/2 slices of Panera Coffee Cake.
Day 3 is supposed to be all about fruit, vegetables and soup. For breakfast I had a plum and then three bowls of soup throughout the day. I found that I was less hungry than the previous days and I wasn’t feeling snack cravings at all. At 6:00 pm is when the coffee cake fiasco occured. I thought I was done for. I drank plenty of water throughout the day and even ended my night with more more bowl of soup. I was sure that this morning mark the end but…. nope!
New weight 220.0
Unbelievable. I must go on. According to the plan, today is skim milk and bananas. It should be very interesting. I just need to make it through the next 48 hours.
Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 3 • 08.17.06
Yesterday was harder than Day 1 for me. I started suffering meat deprevation and the temptation to cheat was strong. I had steamed vegetables consisting of squash, carrots and beans for breakfast and soup the rest of the day. Deviating from the plan a little bit I had watermelon in the evening. The plan says no fruit on day 2 but hey, it’s not like it was a cheeseburger, right?
For dinner I had a baked potatoe and I must say, a baked potatoe never tasted so good. Just to taste something other than soup, fruit or vegetables was a relief.
New weight… 221.8
My thoughts of ending the diet have all faded away. Today brings a mix of fruit, vegetables and soup. But Im really looking forward to tomorrow. Stay tuned.
P.S. – I have not hit the gym since I started this diet. All weight loss so far is contributed to the diet.

Starbury Sneakers • 08.16.06
So, Im watching CNN this morning and there he was, NY Knick Stephon Marbury pushing his new sneaker… The Starbury. Not big news to me. Just about every other ball player has his own sneaker. So as I prepared my breakfast I over heard the interviewer say something crazy…. “the sneaker only cost $15”.
Thinking that it was just an oversight, I continued pouring my juice, only to realize that he was serious. Marbury has dropped a sneaker for the everyday man. Im sure you have the same questions that I have…. quality, right? Starbury claims that the quality is on point and says that these are the sneakers that he will be wearing during game time.
Although a little skeptical, Im sure I will pick up a pair. The crossovers do not look that bad. At $9.99, what do I have to lose?

Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 2 • 08.16.06
Even though you are not encouraged to weigh in after day 1, I couldn’t help myself. 223.6 (barely under a pound). The first day was rough. The biggest issue was me constantly getting hungry. Throughout the day I had two plums, a bowl of mixed fruit and about 5 bowls of soup. After every meal, I felt hungry again within an hour.
Today, is vegetable day. My body is craving meat but hopefully that baked potatoe for dinner tonight will make due.
Hmmmm…. gotta run, soup for breakfast.

Man, my Jamaican people! This is a good one.
If you are easily insulted by blatant marijuana use, then don’t click.

Cabbage Soup Diet - Day 1 • 08.15.06
Today marks Day 1 of my cabbage soup diet. I don’t consider myself to be overweight but as they say, “prevention is better than cure”. I hit the supermarket yesterday and picked up everything necessary in the ingredients. The only thing I left out were the mushrooms.
I will document the whole diet for the next 7 days (if I make it that long). Day 1 = 224.4 lbs. Just ate a plum and Im already starving.
Nick said he lost 5 pounds. Let’s see how I do.
