Advocare 24 Day Challenge

Hey everyone!! So, I have been talking a lot lately about becoming healthy! We have been working diligently to change our diet and work out as much as our schedule and bodies allow. Yay for "Shedding for the Wedding"! What has been a great help and an awesome motivator to us are Advocare products. Back in January of this year we started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. Van and I lost a combined 30 pounds in 24 days!! We got off track for a few months after, but decided to give it another go this month. About 8 days ago we started the 10 day cleanse, which is the first part of the 24 day challenge. Now, whenever I had heard cleanse, I thought "Oh My God what is that going to do to me?!" This one is SO gentle though, and the best part! You can eat during it! Its not a juice cleanse or one where you eat soup for every meal. YOU EAT! A LOT! Lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and lots and lots of water. The biggest part of the challenge is preparation. I used to laugh at my dad for always telling me to remember my 5 P's. "Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance". Well, its true haha. 

A typical day of eating during the challenge:

Breakfast: 2 Eggs and Fruit

Snack: Fruit or Almonds or Spark

Lunch: BIG SALAD! 

Snack: More Fruit/Veggies/Almonds

Dinner: Lean Protein and Cooked Veggies

Snack: If you need it-same as earlier snacks

Days 1-3 and 7-10 of the cleanse you have a Fiber Drink in the morning. It is delicious not that bad. I mix mine with orange juice in half portions. I am entirely incapable of chugging or drinking anything fast. Van doesn't have a problem with it. But, it gets thick like a gel if you let it sit, so whatever you have to do to get it down, do it! And use COLD water! We are on day 8, so only 2 more Fiber Drinks to go!! 

One of the other perks of Avocare is the Spark! 

It is like a little energy drink with vitamins. The real kind! Haha. They have so many flavors to chose from. I like Watermelon and Mango Strawberry. They get you going and help you focus without that sugar buzz high and then sudden crash like most others give you.

So far Van has lost 9 pounds, and I have lost 4! Our cleanse is almost over, and then we move on to the next 14 days. It consists of Meal Replacement Shake flavors and Vitamin packets that guide you though the day along with your meals! I will keep everyone posted on our results as we keep going.

I will try to make a few posts of recipes or meals that we eat during the challenge!
