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...

Challenge Summary

I finished the challenge on June 24th and wanted to leave with a couple of closing comments. Summary of my challenge...I lost 7 lbs and 5 inches. Most of the inches were in my stomach. I feel like the cleanse phase of the challenge was the most beneficial. I completely stopped dairy and will continue to do so. I feel a ton less bloated and gassy...so that is a huge win. I feel like the challenge showed me quite a few things:
--I need to drink tons more water.
--I need to leave dairy out of my diet and make sure I get calcium in other foods.
--I need to constantly have fruits and salads ready to go. When they are cut up and ready, I eat them. When they aren't, I look for crackers and other stupid carbs.
--I feel better when I eat better. I know this sounds dumb, but it is so true.

I hope this blog will help you out if you are on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. If I can be of any help, please email me. Thanks for looking in and good luck.
