I Am Not Embarrassed To Tell You, Take Two.

Hello! Happy Hump Day I woke up this morning SO SORE! I could not get out of my bed without the assistance of Adam. I blame last night’s workout 100%. It is kind of sick, but I love the feeling on DOMS (Delay Onset Muscle Soreness). It is one totally one of those hurt so good feelings. I actually wrote a whole post about DOMS a few months ago , check it out here.

Anyhow, I am on a clear liquid diet today in preparation for my procedure tomorrow. This means I can only have juice, water, black coffee, tea and broth. It is not a fun time- trust me. I am starving right now. Also, I hate black coffee. But, I have learned that black iced coffee is wayyyyyyyy better than black hot coffee. I was thinking about not doing the coffee at all, but since I can’t eat or workout I really didn’t want to subject my poor co-workers, husband and dog to an Ali with no food, caffeine or endorphins. That is just mean!

A lot of you have been e-mailing me asking what exactly the procedure is. And I have been hesitant to say it because it is kind of embarrassing. But, I pride myself being 100% honest with you goes so, here goes. I am getting a colonoscopy! Yup, I have going to have a camera up my butt tomorrow. I was thinking of being the Katie Couric of blogging and streaming it live to you like she did on The Today Show. Ok- I am totally kidding.

This morning’s “breakfast” was a half water and half G2 cocktail.

and a black iced coffee from the coffee shop next door to my office.

I have come prepared for my day today. I only have to make it to 3pm at work- I can totally do this!

In honor of my announcement of my colonscopy- I decided to do a “I am not embarrassed to tell you, take two” post. If you missed my first post of things I am not embarrassed to tell you, here it is. It is pretty entertaining.

I still call my dad “Daddy” even though I am a 28 year old woman.
When I blow my nose, I also open the tissue and look at my snot. If it is green, I know I have a sinus infection.
Painted nails and huge sunglasses make me feel so glamorous even if I am wearing sweatpants.
I have never once washed my Garmin heart-rate monitor strap. The salt from my sweat keeps it from slipping while I run, since my rib cage is tiny. And-I love the smell of all the sweat on it from long hard runs.
Sometimes when I am alone, I get dressed in my most outlandish outfit and highest heels and open my mac to blog in an effort to feel like I am the real Carrie Bradshaw.
I never do laundry. On any given day it is completely normal for me to be wearing bikini bottoms as underwear because I have no actual underwear clean.
I have a book proposal half done hiding in a file deep inside my Mac. I am scared to finish it because that will mean I actually have to send it out and open myself up to rejection.
I pray every night before bed. They are mostly prayers of thanks, sometimes I ask for help with things for me or people I love. But, no matter what I always end with “Thank you for the fact my armpits are hairless and I never have to shave them.” Ha! It is true, I have zero armpit hair and it makes my pits the envy of all my girlfriends.
When I run my first marathon, part of me really wants to get this tattooed on the inside of my right wrist in a really light pink color: “II VI. II” That is “26.2″ in Roman Numerals. The other part of me thinks it is foolish!
I HATE running 5k’s because every time I run one I try to PR in under 24 minutes and I totally get discouraged. I think 24 minutes is my limit.

So there you have it. What are things you are not embarrassed to admit?! Come on, between this post and my previous one, I have given you 20 different things!
