Water Intake

I stayed home sick, and drank a ton of water today.

Terrible.  I stayed home from work, but it was needed.  

However, I did get some great news about a possible big change for us, so that helped a lot!

*24* Day 21

BURN DAY

Breakfast

We were bad.  

We cheated.  

I was not feeling well at all and had my dear husband take me to urgent care. On the way home, we decided that we needed some comfort food.  We got Jethros brunch take out.  2 eggs over easy, and loaded hash browns (with smoked ham, bacon, sausage, and cheese).  I'm not going to lie…it was really good, and just what I needed.

After all of the temptation that I resisted on Friday, I felt guilty for succumbing to it now, with only 3 days to go.
But in my mind, we were pretty much done anyway, which is how I "justified" it. 

Mid Morning Snack

Carrots

Lunch

We ate lunch late and both fell asleep-so inadvertently skipped lunch 

Mid-Afternoon Snack

almonds/cashews

Dinner

Shrimp fried "rice"

Steamed Broccoli

Evening Snack

Carrots

Water Intake

Ok.  Not great.  I think it was somewhere between 50 and 75oz. I need to get better at keeping track of water intake on the weekend.

How I felt

I did not feel good at all today.  :(  

Honestly, I don't think our cheat breakfast helped either in the long-run, but it seemed great at the time. 

Just goes to show that Advocare has retrained my body to decide what it really likes and doesn't.

Whole wheat pita pocket with chicken, honey mustard, spring greens, and cherry tomatoes.

Mid-Afternoon Snack

I'm writing this 5 days after the fact, so unfortunately, I don't remember

Evening Snack

Carrots

Water Intake

I did pretty well, but not as well as I do during the week. 

How I felt

We're in the home stretch! 

I felt really good.  Our day started out with some potentially really good news, so that only improved how I felt.
