Advocare 24 Day Challenge- Day 1 Recap

Whoa! It's been busy! Yesterday was cRaZy at work! It was also the first day of my Advocare 24 Day Challenge. My friend, Taryn was suuuuuuper prepared. I, not so much. I made a little schedule and I pretty much just winged it on my food. It all fell into the category of "clean" and was cleanse appropriate but I MUST prepare better! Anyways Day 1-10 is the cleanse. It is designed to get all the "junk" out of our bodies. My Day went as so:

5:00am-UP and I took my Catalyst which is an Amino Acid supplement. I have hypothyroidism so I had to take those meds to. One good thing about this challenge is that everything is scheduled which means I will remember to take my thyroid meds normally!

From that point on I worked out. I usually do a Jillian Michaels work out but yesterday I tried this out:

I found it on pinterest. That wall sit is intense! It was a pretty good routine and by the 3rd round I was tired but I think i'll stick to the Jillian workouts.

7:30 I had breakfast. A whole wheat english muffin (complex carb) with an egg (protein) and a piece of turkey bacon and a banana. I didn't put any of my smart balance on my muffin and it was a little like eating a board but It was ok. ha! I mixed my fiber drink in with my orange mandarin spark. It tastes like pulpy orange juice. It grossed me out but it doesn't taste bad? I'm not sure how to explain. The Spark itself is really good. It's an energy drink without all the junk in it. 

10:30 I had my snack, a grapefruit. 

11:30 It was time for Catalyst again

12:30 I had lunch. I had some chicken fajitas. I baked chicken, green peppers, onions, a can of rotel tomatoes and seasoned it all with a little bit of cumin, garlic, and chili powder. I decided i'd make a chicken fajita salad. GROSS. Ryan had me buy this "spring mix" rather then my usual salad mix. It's awful. Just dreadful! I also mixed in some corn and black beans as my complex carbs.

2:30 should have been spark and snack time. There was no time. 

So when I got off work at 4:00 I made up my cherry spark, and had a small bowl of fruit. 3 strawberries, a few pieces of pineapple, and a few grapes. I seen Taryn soak some of her fruit in lemon juice and I thought that would be delicious. Lies. Ruined my fruit. I stuggled to get it down.

After my fruit catastrophe I decided to go on a walk/run. I did around 2.7 miles. I'm starting this program called "Ease into your first 5k" The first week you warm up, then run 60 secs, walk 90 secs, and repeat that 9 times, with a cool down walk. I've not made it the whole 9 times but i've made 7 times! I can also run 1:30 without stopping! Woo Hoo!! and for me that is MONUMENTAL! 

Now its around 7:30 and its supper time. I don't usually eat that late but it was a crazy day. I made salmon patties. All they were was 2 cans of salmon, cleaned (takes forever) I added 2 eggs and a couple tablespoons of whole wheat flour. Your not suppose to have anything fried but I don't think I would count those as something fried. I just used some spray and a little bit of olive oil which is allowed and cooked them in a skillet. lol They were really good! I don't really doctor up my salmon patties too much sometimes I add in some onion. I had 1 salmon patty with a cup of green beans. I also topped off my GALLON of water for the day. I really did think I was going to float away. I took my Omega Plex before dinner. Its basically just fish oil but it has some added vitamins as well. 

That salad was a no go. I tried to eat it with the oil and vinegar in that little cup. DISGUSTING. I was much to full to force the salad down anyways so i just ate that heaping mound of beans and the salmon patty. Did I ever tell you I LOVE LOVE LOVE green beans? No. Well let me just tell you. I love green beans! 

By bedtime I was beat. I took my last catalyst and my herbal cleanse pills and I was done. It was a very successful day! Just so hectic I couldn't really appreciate what goodness I had done for myself. It was too busy to take cute pics of all my food. So needless to say while i'm off work i'm going to get organized. I can already tell a difference in how I feel in just one day! I'm excited about all the changes! Just one day in and I recommend doing this challenge! You wont starve. Your not doing some sort of diet pill, i'm highly against those. This really isn't even designed for weight loss but with these changes you will lose weight! If you want to know more about it feel free to message me and if I can't help you then I can get you in contact with those that can!

Now on to this part. I did all of my measurements and my weight and took pics yesterday as well. I wont have anymore Weigh In Wednesday posts until the challenge is complete. Here are my results for starting, I'll do my measurements again after the 10 day cleanse but I'm not decided if I want to post that or not. I will be posting at the end of the 24 days with my overall results. Here are my results!

I was satisfied from last Wednesday!

Waist- 44 down another inch!!

Hips- 48.5 down another inch!!
