2014- Challenge Accepted

I have decided that this is the year that I will finally lose all my 'baby weight'. After having my son and losing weight during the pregnancy I figure I've got a head start so why not keep going. I'm excited to start my 24 Day Challenge, a product bundle from Advocare that can help you start losing weight or get you over a hump if you've stopped losing weight. I have seen these products work first hand in my mother and father inlaw. They have been taking Advocare products for 2 years, but their journey all started with the 24 day challenge. I would say they have had amazing results: but the picture speaks for itself!  

    I have decided I want to blog/journal my challenge this time around. I think it will help me keep track of my progress better and can be a resource for future challenges or people looking for information on Advocare or the challenge?! :) So without further ado- here it goes

Day 1: weigh in: 203lbs 

waist: 47inches chest: 41.5inches

Breakfast: Orange Spark, 3 Catalyst, Herbal Clease drink and

Scrambled eggs with ham,onions, peppers topped with salsa and avocado, and 2 links of turkey sausage. Water to drink. 

I missed my morning snack today- homeschooling and taking care of a newborn are a blessed challenge all on their own.

Lunch: 1/2 a cucumber topped with Jalapeno and cilantro hummus and sliced  turkey. Water to drink. 

Afternoon snack: While I had my oldest and youngest napping, my middle child and I enjoyed some apples and cashews; while watching looney tunes. She loves the bird and cat so much! :) 

Dinner: a bowl of turkey taco soup topped with green onion and avocado. 

It was delishious and warmed me up. Had some pink lemonade spark to drink. 

To make the soup, I just threw somethings together in the crock pot- pretty much whatever sounded good when in there. It was loaded with veggies which makes it challenge friendly. If your not on the cleanse phase then topping with a little cheese and sour cream would be yummy! Here are the pictures of what went into it, I also added ground turkey meat, cooked up with taco seasoning. 

I ended up with peanut butter and banana as a before bedtime snack. I was still a little hungry- and that hit the spot. 

Overall I think Day 1 went over really well! Looking forward to seeing the results at the end of my challenge.
