My weight
loss journey is one of the real reason I decided to come back to blogging. I think it
is great for accountability and I would love to be able to share my story with
others in hopes that it may help or encourage them. I recently started a 24 Day
Challenge with Advocare. I was introduced to the challenge after seeing a
before and after photo of someone on Facebook. I of course had to ask what she
was doing and she told me about the 24 day challenge. The products are kind of
pricey, but I am on day three and I can already feel a difference.
Anyway, my
goal here is to document my journey. I will post my before and after photos at the end of the challenge....
Days 1 – 3
have been great, my mornings started with taking an herbal cleanse drink, that
isn’t too horrible. There is a trick to it though, you have to drink it quickly
before it thickens up and then it’s a little tough to swallow. It kind of
reminded me of Jell-O, but grainy Jell-O. I followed up the herbal drink with
lots of water and got started with my day.
My
breakfast consisted of a rice cake (complex carb), strawberries (fruit) and
almond butter (protein).
My first
snack was some raw veggies.
Lunch
consisted of a huge spinach salad with chicken (veggies and protein).
My second
snack of the day was another rice cake smothered in avocado.
Dinner was
more chicken (protein) and squash (veggies) and my last snack of the day was
some more strawberries.
I am not a
cooker, so I am going to have to step my game up to keep the meals interesting
and tasty.
You also
take supplements and drink half your body weight in water.
Here is a
link to the 24 Day Challenge Guidebook that has a lot more details and
information on how the days are broken down.
