Day 2

24DC day 2 was a lot like day 1. Many trips to the bathroom to pee. Today my urine is almost clear. Today I ate an apple cinnamon breakfast bar, 2 mango wedges, some pineapple cubes, a small grilled chicken salad, and 2 eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon...which I think tastes like rubber! I drank 2 Spark drinks, a fiber drink and 126 oz of water.  Finally...I took my probiotics, my catalyst, omegas, and cleanse pills.

All of that sounds kinda boring. And I guess it kinda is. But it takes a lot of effort for a fat girl to give up all of the tasty food options for water, rabbit food, and some pills. Give a girl some credit!

So why am I doing this? I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of being sick. I'm tired of being tired. I weighed 291 lbs yesterday morning...Day 1. I have Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, IBS, Diverticulitis, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. In a nutshell...I am dying. I'm too young to die. I haven't seen the things I want to see. I have never been truly loved. I have things to do!

So welcome to my journey. I will only promise that I will be candid. That means I am allowing myself to be vulnerable and maybe at times, ugly. Hopefully, in the end, I won't feel ugly. I don't know if my story is interesting. I don't even know if anyone will read what I have to say. But I'm not writing for anyone else. I do it for myself. And you are welcome to watch from the cheap seats.

I gotta pee!

Day 1

I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge (24DC) today.  This is going to be my story. I will chronicle my journey here. I had a long post typed and ready to post...And then disaster struck! Somehow I deleted it and couldn't get it back! So for tonight, I will take my unskilled untechnical self elsewhere and write something more exciting tomorrow. 

Before I go however, I want to say that I drank about 120 oz of water today, along with Spark (x's 2), a fiber drink, a meal replacement shake, and I ate a salad with cucumber and no dressing, an orange, some popcorn, and a grilled chicken breast with sauteed onions and zucchini. With all of the fluids I ingested, I didn't really feel like I had room for solid food. But I ate. I also took a probiotic, some cleanse pills and an omega something or other pill! I will learn more about that later.  With all of the fluids I drank I had to go to the bathroom about 20 times today! And on that note....

I have to pee!
