Hello Hello,
Today, I officially started my 24-Day AdvoCare Challenge! It does seem like there is a lot to be aware of, but I am up for the Challenge :) I started this morning, checking my 24-Day Challenge Schedule and I had to become familiar with the products. I was confused on the "fiber drink" and "meal replacement shake" and so I discovered that I had to take the "fiber drink" in the "herbal cleanse" pack.
I did talk with my doctor to see if there were anything that I should be aware of when taking my medications, and she said that I would be fine taking AdvoCare and my meds! Woo!
So, I shook up the fiber drink.... and it did look intimidating like it said, but I just chugged it and it was over. There was nothing to it. I didn't taste too bad either. I think next time I will try blending it with ice like a smoothie :)
I do feel pretty good! I took a "meal replacement shake" for breakfast and it tasted awesome! And of course, it was chocolate, my favorite. Right now I added a spark to my water and I think I'm going to Kwik Trip soon to gather some fruit for lunch. I am very excited about my 24-Day Challenge!
I tell you, there are many temptations around every corner at work! Of course, the day I start my challenge, someone baked home-made chocolate chip cookies. I WILL NOT GIVE IN! I would have totally snuck a couple and ate them for breakfast and then would take a couple more for lunch. NO MORE! I am sticking to this because my life does depend on it!
I am on my way to better choices and seriously, I can go 10 days without fried foods/candy/unhealthy food!!
More to come...:)
FYI... it gets WAY easier to say no! I've got the same issues with work hauling in yummy stuff on the granite counter of goodness. Don't forget your protein for lunch. I resent the grocery suggested list to you again. Your going to feel just great & by day 11 people won't know what hit you & your attitude... other than the skinny bus. LOL
ReplyDeleteVery awesome that you have decided to do the Challenge! I did it, and felt terrific the whole time. Unfortunately, now I'm out of product and back to "blah", but in two weeks I'll not only be stocking up, I'm also going distributor! Pay close attention to Becky's grocery list. I didn't eat nearly enough protein (or really, nearly enough period!) and so my weight loss totals were not what I expected. They were fabulous, don't get me wrong, but I could have done better had I eaten properly.
ReplyDeletePam your inches lost were incredible! The protein & food is what fuels your body to get you the energy too! I know you'll get back to it & take names! School can also be very stressful & make your body go into shutdown & you don't even realize how stress actually prohibits your body from losing weight as well.
