DAY FIVE - WATER

"Try and fail, but don't fail to try." ~ Stephen Kaggwa

Today I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. Increasing my water has made me feel more full and less hungry, but it definitely has made my bladder just as full:) I shoot to drink at least 64 ounces of water daily. I usually exceed my goal every single day. I actually gave up drinking pop back on January 19 of this year, so I least I don't have to deal with the cravings for a caffeinated beverage.

I went to the Doctor after work today because I have been ignoring some symptoms I have been having. I thought it was a sinus infection with an earache, but I started coughing and my chest feeling really heavy. Well it turns out that I have acute bronchitis:( The Doctor I met with was not my normal primary physician, but he was really nice and actually was a weight loss and infectious disease specialist. He noticed in my chart that I had lost weight since the last time I was in and got excited. I told him that I had just started weight watchers and about my blog. He thought that that was really a great way to gain support. I told him that doing this blog has already brought a ton of benefits!! Thanks to all of my follower!! I was prescribed an antibiotic and some cough syrup that will knock me out at night instead of waking myself up coughing. I am looking forward to an awesome night's sleep.
