Day 5 (24DC- 3) Still Sick

Still have strep. But, I'm staying on track. I have not been able to exercise, and trust me, if I were able to, I would!

Started today with my fiber drink, followed by a strawberry mango Spark.

I can't get the photo to do a caption from my iPhone app, but the couch set up is where I have lived for 2 days. I'm so thankful to my mom for staying with me to raise my children whilst I die lol!

This next picture is gross, but I'm sharing it anyway. It's my throat covered in puss blisters. I feel like posting it helps illustrate my experience a little better. I will say this, the 24 Day Challenge and eating clean has helped me keep my strength up, and kept my stomach from rejecting all of my medicine. As much as it hurts, I feel like forcing myself to eat and drink in accordance with my program is helping me pass this faster! It's way too easy to let ourselves get unhealthy and weak when we feel like crud, and my challenge is forcing me to take proper care of myself.

Breakfast is a chocolate MR shake, and OmegaPlex. I figured out exactly how to describe the flavor of the MR shakes today! They taste exactly like hot chocolate! I never could pin point the familiar flavor, but I knew it wasn't quite the same as chocolate milk. Anyway, they're delicious. They don't taste anything like Slim Fast, or other store bought diet shakes.

Almonds and ice water with lemon for a snack.

Lunch is 2 whole eggs, 4 strawberries, and lemon water.

Almonds for a snack, again.

Subway salad with turkey for dinner. I ate less than half, but I did use a small amount of ranch. Ranch is a big no no, especially on the cleanse portion of the challenge. But, I have had so little luck wanting to eat real food, I didn't mind. Plus, Mom was so proud for bringing home something diet friendly that I could eat with a sore throat. It would have been rude to refuse ;)

I completely forgot to use my cleanse tablets the last 2 nights, as well as my OmegaPlex! Fail!! Argh!

Bed time snack of carrots and water, with cleanse tablets and OmegaPlex.

Taking my cleanse pills and OmegaPlex at the same time as my pain medicine and antibiotics, while already being sick...may turn out to be bad. I have a headache setting in, and am feeling light headed.
