I have to credit Katie's grandpa for the word "fatitude". A fatitude is a word to describe a fat person with attitude. Well, goodness, today, that might be me. I have bad habits and indeed this cleanse has already shocked my body into some sort of submission....but, I digress. To sum the day up, not too bad. About a 4 overall, but let me clarify. I'm NOT hungry. In fact, this badboy has me eating too often. What I am is in a crazed craving for bad stuff that I love. Pasta, bread, cheese, milk...wine. But, in the interest of "mind over matter" I beat this day. In fact, it said, don't work out. But, alas I did. 53 wonderful 500+ cals of lifting goodness. So, to that, I say screw you day 1 cleanse! In summary: -not hungry -very bored with fruit/veggies only. Bring on the protein!! (LK smoked a turkey breast for me and it is just screaming my name) -drank 3 gallons of water = pottied a gazillion times -the Spark drink & b-fast shake is yummy (not as yummy as Zumba shake, though) -no caffeine/sugar headache - super surprised! -will weigh tomorrow Well, off to bed after I take the cleanse and catalyst horse pills. I will leave you with this - I did it! Advocare Day 1 can suck it! Night night.

Clean as a whistle, let the cleanse begin.

Ah, yes, I wish I could say that I went into this with an open and educated mind. But, alas, not so much.  In fact, it was after just a few glasses of wine that I not only insisted that I do the advocare cleanse, but I bring a best girl-friend of mine along for a ride.  After all, how hard could it be?  Give up lattes and alcohol for 10 days?  Piece of cake.  Drink a morning fiber drink that looks & tastes like ass -- no problem.  I want that size 6. I yearn for that size 6.  Even if it means eating nothing but napkins for the next week and a half.

Let me start by saying, I have never LOVED food.  Never.  It has always been the enemy.  Married to a self-proclaimed foodie husband, God knows he has tried to get me to love the stuff.  Sadly, food (in my mind) makes me fat.  Always has.  Perhaps it is my love for the flavor of stuff like Doritos that has made me fat? Who knows.

So, this little "blog experiment" will chronicle my walk (and weight) through the Advocare 10 day cleanse. It will tell you everything. What I liked, what sucked and whether or not I look/feel different from the smattering of supplements that accompanies a very different approach to my daily food in-tact.  I do not guarantee results or weight loss at this point - I do, however, guarantee bitchiness, hunger and (eek) a pseudo positive attitude.

So, for the next 10 days, screw DPS (daily public shaming).  I, will, instead, take the end of my day to chronicle this journey. 

11:03AM - so far so good.  The only regret thus far is that thick-as-you-speak fiber drink that gets to kick off the day.  Today will be tough, however.  Nearly no protein or fats - all fruits and veggies, and no gym time.  Back later with the full report -- HK.
