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 again...

It's day 22 and the end is definately in sight!  Overall I think it is going well.  I am feeling healthier and energized.  I'm ready to stop taking all the pills and having to keep track of when to take what, but other than that, it really hasn't been a terribly hard program to follow.  I have hopefully developed some habits that I will take with me beyond the 24 days.  Such as snacking on nuts and hardboiled egss instead of empty carbs.  I like the breakfast bars and the chocolate meal replacement shakes too.  I am a bit nervous about reintroducing some foods back into my diet (cereal, bread) even on a more limited basis, for fear of losing the gains I have made on the challenge.  Don't get me wrong, I fully plan on enjoying those things!  The idea of a planned cheat day is also a bit scary, but from everything I have read, is an important piece of keeping my metabolism working.  I believe day 25 is a cheat day --- there will be cereal and french fries!!!
