The "why" behind the blog...

This is a blog about my journey on a 24 Day Challenge. It is a challenge that is from AdvoCare, which is a company that sells nutritional supplements and skin care products. The challenge is to eat nutritously and only take their supplements for 24 days. In turn, they state that on average, people lose 11 lbs and gain tons more energy. I will be putting it to the test.

I am on this journey with two great friends, Kendra and Rolf Nelson. They will be guest bloggers and promise to be transparent and honest about their journey as well.

We are starting June 1, 2010 and hope you will cheer us on, support us and maybe even be inspired by us. We will be honest and open about our journey. Thanks for looking in...

Kendra Finally Speaks...

Hey this is Kendra.  My husband, Rolf and I are doing the 24 day challenge with Theresa. My main goal for the 24 days are 3 fold.  One, boost my energy.  Two, jump start my metabolism.  Three, tone and build lean muscle. I'm not looking to lose lots of weight, but a couple pounds (4-5) would feel good.

 I am on day 13.  The experience so far has been interesting.  Some things I have noticed -- A) I am suprisingly not hungry, in fact, I sometimes have little appetite at all.  B) Although I sometimes want to grab a handful of cereal or goldfish crackers, I don't really feel like I'm "missing" anything. (Except my diet coke!) C) It's a ton of water to drink!! Be ready to pee a TON!  D) I found the fiber drink to be disqusting, but I can choke down 8 ounces of anything if I know it is going to make me healthier.  Besides there were only 6 of them. E) It is much easier to do this with someone that alone.  Rolf and I are shopping together and planning meals together.  Also helps when temptation strikes.  F) Seeing results is a great motivator! G) Eating out isn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, eating fast food is a challenge! H) Day 11-24 has lots of pills to swallow, I don't think I am eating enough calories, so am feeling a bit funny.  Planning to journal a couple of days to make sure I am eating enough.   I) Still waiting for the energy boost, hoping it comes in days 11-24.  Clearly my metabolism is working better as I have already lost my goal weight! 

Overall, very happy with the program and glad I am on this journey (most of the time!)
