End of the Challenge!

Ok, I totally slacked on writing the last week of the challenge. But if I'm being completely honest, it was not any different than the 18 days I did write about. =) Someone asked me how the challenge was going the other day, and I realized that I didn't feel like I was doing a challenge any more, it just feels normal now. Eating healthy (MOST of the time... I did eat dessert at a restaurant last weekend, and I did eat one piece of pizza), exercising, and taking care of myself seems more of a habit now. I thought it would be a lot harder to form that kind of habit, but I'm glad it didn't! I have NO intention of going back to the way I felt before. Sure, I got some physical results, but the change in my energy and mood has been amazing.

Ok, so if you are reading this because you are thinking about doing the Advocare 24 Day Challenge, then what you are looking for is results. I won't keep you waiting any longer! Here are my results:

Weight Lost - 4.5 lbs

Waist - 2.5 inches SMALLER!

Bust - 3 inches SMALLER!!

My thigh, biceps, and calves have never been a problem, so there wasn't much there to change. All those measurements pretty much stayed the same.

Really, those results don't sound huge, but I feel comfortable in clothes I haven't worn in a long time. I can go to the pool with my girls without being self conscious the whole time. I can look at a picture of myself and actually be happy with it. I know how to feed my body the RIGHT kinds of food. These things were worth every penny of the challenge. Sure, I would still like to lose about 5 more lbs and a couple more inches in my waist, but I have no doubt I'll get there... and get there the HEALTHY way. This means getting there and staying there.

So, if you are thinking about doing the Advocare 24 Day Challenge as a quick fix to lose lots of weight it may not be what you are looking for, but if you are willing to put in the work to change your life and feel and look better then I highly recommend it. But make sure you have a good Advocare rep who will actually check on you and help you through. I had a GREAT rep, who I now consider a friend, and she made a huge difference in my success.
