24 Day Challenge

WOW! Where do I even begin?! I am so hyped up about this challenge and Advocare I don't even know where to begin to write this, so please forgive me for being all over the place. I will begin with a story a sweet friend shared with me about her journey, success, and results she has received from Advocare. She called me one Saturday and we talked about a lot that day, I remember...for almost 40 minutes! She began to tell me about Adovcare and how it has changed her life not only physically, financially, but spiritually as well. I wanted that change, I needed that change! Don't get me wrong, I don't have...won't have a huge weight loss story to tell with this challenge but here are my desired goals for this challenge will be:
a.) to gain energy, LOTS of energy (to keep up with my 2 busy, very busy kiddos)
b.) yes, to lose some baby weight/lose the dunlap (don't laugh, it happens)
c.) learn to take vitamins that my body needs

After talking with her I thought I'd go to a mixer to learn about the company and so I could share it with Rhett and get him in on the challenge too. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I'd leave the mixer feeling the way I did. I was pumped! I knew it was something physically and financially I want to do with my life. I wanted to set goals for myself to acheiveAbout a week and (2) 24 day challenges ordered Rhett & I were on our way to do something we had never done before, together. Get healthy and help people change their lives too, in a way they've never been changed before.

I forgot to blog on day one. Oops! Day 4 is where we are at. Let me start with saying...here is what I was use to eating: fast food, fried foods, bagels, cereal, pizza, salads, 1-2 cokes a day, sandwiches, pasta, chips, cookies, sweets, lots of sweets, fruit-sparingly, ice cream, you name it...it was unhealthy. For the past 4 days I have been eating salads, whole wheat crackers, peanut butter, grilled chicken, oatmeal, fruits & veggies like they are going to go out of style. And drinking water, lots of water and Spark! (Spark= an energy drink that has 21 vitamins, minerals, & nutrients; 45 calories; no sugar; provides energy & sharpens mental focus) I've been eating at home and it feels good. (our bank account thanks me too :) )Now, I look at what my kids are eating and it makes me want to make small changes all around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure I can eat as healthy as I've been doing while in the "cleanse" phase but I sure will do my darndest to make better choices once this challenge is over.

What I've learned so far...
* Advocare is going to do extraordinary things with our lives & I look forward to what the future is going to bring!
* How to eat healthy & actually incorporate it into my life, everyday!
* I've already seen results and it's only day 4! Day 10...I'll actually post them :)
