Day 22

Day 22!!!

I don't even know what to do with myself!  I am almost done with this phase!  And now I am in the habit of drinking my Spark first thing in the morning and taking my supplements.  So I will strive to continue to do that.  Eating healthy isn't so hard and it tastes pretty good.  I was telling my sister (Fitness Instructor Rock Star) that I don't even crave the crap I was eating before.  I crave the veggies.  Zucchini and mushrooms and cabbage and green beans, and asparagus!!!  Oh and broccoli and cauliflower!!!  And I don't really care to eat chips...which used to be my "go to" snack!  Now I want stuff like hummus (within reason) and most any kind of raw veggie I can chomp on!  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!?  I am not a rabbit!  I am getting healthy though!  So I will not complain!  

I am almost 20lbs lighter.  I am a notch tighter on my belt.  I can't wear my pants without a belt for fear that they will fall off of my butt!  I wore a shirt to work last week that I have been self-conscious about wearing because of how tight it has been and it was loose on me!  I feel good!  Part of that is the healthy diet, part is the Advocare supplements and part is because I have been to my new primary care physician, who has prescribed appropriate medication for my MS, my chronic pain and chronic fatigue.  I have less incidents with my IBS and my colon doesn't seem to bother me as much as it was.

So is it the Advocare?  It is a big part! I have only felt this good once, that I can remember.  That was the first time a wore a CPAP all night and actually felt rested for the first time ever.  I can actually FEEL my sluggishness on the weekends before I take my MNS.  That isn't about diet.  I sleep later, so I take the supplements later. So, I attribute much of what I am experiencing to that. 

I am also in a pretty good place mentally.  I am counting down the days at the current job.  Then I plan to take a bit of a vacay to rejuvenate!  And eat CRAWFISH!!!  In the meantime, I am doing my yoga...even though I still suck at it and therefore HATE it!  I am going to try to incorporate some light cardio and possibly some weight training.  I will take this slowly, since I just recently started taking my medication for fatigue and pain.  I am looking forward to it though, and I haven't felt like that about working out since I played ball!

In the mean time....

Yep! Still havin to pee!
