The Advocare 24-day Challenge

In 2 days, Mike and I will start the Advocare 24-day Challenge. He has started a new fitness routine and was introduced to this product by a good friend. After talking about it and doing some serious research I decided to complete the challenge with him. Doing the challenge together will provide accountability for both of us, not to mention it’s much easier to make meals and grocery shop when we are eating the same thing. Plus, I might be jealous if he starts losing weight and getting in shape without me!

So, the products should be delivered to our doorstep tomorrow afternoon, and Tuesday morning we will begin! We have already started making slight changes in our diet, but will stick very strictly to the recommended eating plan during the challenge. If I’m going to do it, I want to get the maximum result possible! I really am looking at this as a jump start to a healthier lifestyle, not a diet. I hope to lose weight of course, but I mainly just want to FEEL better.

I decided to write this blog to document my day-by-day experience with the challenge, yet another form of accountability. I will be recording my daily food intake, exercise, and overall feelings about the challenge. I am not sure whether I want to post pictures, so I will decide by tomorrow. Even if I do take before and after photos, both of my pregnancies left me with stretch marks that I know no one wants to see, so I’ll keep them covered.

Tomorrow I'll sit down and explain more about the challenge once I've received the package.

Well I guess that’s it! Wish me luck!
