The results are in....

Day 1 of the 24 day challenge scared me. It honestly did. I thought my life was over and would never be able to eat what I wanted for 23 more days. So.Not.True!!! The first 10 days was a very strict diet, but it was to help cleanse out the bad toxins in our bodies and to make way for the nutrients that were to come in days 11-24. Those first days taught me more healthier ways to eat, more so than I've ever learned in my 30 years of life. Sure, I knew about eating fruits and vegetables but not like this. I actually planned out meals and went to the store and bought the healthy chicken, vegetables, whole wheat crackers, rice cakes, fruits, etc. I.Learned.Alot.
Rhett & I did this together so that we (I) could get rid of some of my baby weight, jiggliness from being pregnant with Addyson. Yes, believe it or not it was there. Only you know how you feel in your own skin and trust me I was not comfortable. Anywho, Rhett jumped on the bandwagon with me because I wanted and needed an accountability partner (he didn't really adhere to the "diet" as I did, purse...because he did not want a huge weight loss at the end. We did great! The last week or two we added alot more of the things we were use to eating (pre-challenge) and still felt great!
Once we started the MNS vitamins and kept drinking Spark periodically throughout the day I noticed all the energy I had. It was unbelievable! I say that now because right now I am on a series of antibiotics to kill off this horrible sinus infection I have and I have to be honest, I have not been taking my MNS vitamins because its all I can do to remember to take my antibiotics. Today, I was EXTREMELY tired. I kept yawning, wanted to just go back home and go to bed. I have not felt that way in a looooooong time! It really made me realize how energized the Spark and vitamins make me. Back to those vitamins I shall go!

Ok, for the final results combined...
Weight Loss: 8lbs
Inches: 9 (measured in our thighs and waist...we forgot to measure arms & chest)
**Rhett is now taking a few of the Performance Elite products for what I call "body building". haha!! I will continue taking my MNS vitamins...no "body building" for this chick. :)
