Day 21

Today was good I made another smootie for lunch and had brown rice and chicken for dinner, I snacked on a vo2 bar and some vegetables as well.  I was on the go all day so I had to pack snacks for that. Tomorrow will be the same.  I am happy I did the challenge because now I can continue to keep going.  Tonight I ordered the new can you 24 workout video from Advocare so I am excited to get that and workout in my home.  I am starting to realize it's harder to go workout when I have a toddler and may not have a car to get to the gym, we enjoy long walks although I will need a more increased workout.  I believe I can do 24 mins. I have done the first can you 24 video and I sweat! It's awesome so I am excited about that!  I did not get any pics of my good or recipes today.  But I did have a mini styling shoot today and enjoyed taking a picture of a crown I made my daughter! 

Day 20

Today was a good day, I was able to go on almost a four mile walk with a great friend of mine who is also on the challenge.  I made a yummy shake which had almond milk, bananas, spinach and frozen blueberries.  Let me tell you it was so good!  I figured they were going to go bad really soon so might as well blend them and eat them!! For dinner I made brown rice and chicken, I just love eating this way.  I'm excited to keep on going.  I have had good weight loss so far and I am excited to do my inches.  So four more days and we will see the results! I also took before pictures so this should be fun to show you those in a few days!

Days 18 and 19

I just got back from Success school for Advocare, in Portland Washington and it was a blast! As you will probably notice I missed my post for yesterday because I was in the car driving and arrived home late.  Man one thing I hope is that when you are on a challenge you don't get a cold, it had literally wiped my out.  Looks like there is four days left of this challenge, and there is not much that has changed the diet is the same and you will continue to have a shake and the mns.  One thing I know I will continue to do is stay on this diet and post more recipes as I go.  I also will be talking about the next steps you can continue to do that will help you with your journey!

Day 17

We are getting so close to the finish line of this challenge.. I realize that I am going to have to get some exercise in at this point, it may just have to be home exercise.  The can you 24 DVD is from Advocare is awesome and they just came out with the second one which I have heard is also super awesome!! As I have gotten busier it's been hard to prep food so I am so glad that I still have leftovers.  Tomorrow is a big day and I won't get much sleep tonight because we have success school in Portland for Advocare.  So I don't think I will prep any good tomorrow.. Guess we are looking at Sunday.  That's when I should get to the gym too.  I have gone on a few walks which is great but, higher intensity workouts will really yield greater results! I will be excited to track my inches in the end.  I basically snacked on the same things today almonds, dried cherries, vo2 prime bar, hummus and carrots, hard boiled egg, Advocare meal replacement shake and for dinner a salad with pickled vegetables.  I did a lot of snacking throughout the day which is what we should always be doing.  I hope this journey of mine has helped those who are following it.  I promise I will have a great recipe here soon.  Good night all my beautiful people! 

Day 16

I almost forgot to post! No cooking went on today, as our household is trying to recover from this little cold.  So looks like there is 8 days left of this challenge. And by now you have probably discovered that days 11-24 are pretty much the same, drink spark, one meal replacement shake and taking your MNS daily plus any add on.  For me I have been on catalyst as well as slim, which I am loving.  I love all the products though!! So my favorite! Anyhow my food plan was pretty much the same as yesterday's.  For the next few days since I will be busy, I will probably product spotlight a few items. For tonight it's time to get some zzz's and dream about great things!! Blessings Erica Hart

Day 15

Today I made my self some home made juice.  I juiced a cucumber, apples, carrots and the rest of the green leaf mixed lettuce I had.  For breakfast I had a chocolate meal replacement shake and for lunch I had some sushi. For a snack I had a vo2 prime bar and for dinner I had a stuffed turkey quinoa pepper. I was hoping to make a new meal but will do that tomorrow because I am still trying to recover from this cold.  The sushi for lunch was mainly just salmon on top.  The white rice was a little bit of a cheat.  If you decide to do this see if they have brown, and do it after the cleanse portion. This is the time where you can start to re introduce other foods just keep it as clean as possible.  Also I had my MNS in the morning and at lunch.    I will be hitting the gym tomorrow in hopes I have more strength back!  The healthy combination of all is how I know I will have success over time.  Tonight I was able to catch a beautiful sunset and capture the moment of that! I hope you enjoy it! See you tomorrow! 

Day 14

Well 10 more days and this challenge is over.  But not forever, this is the beginning of no end because eating healthy is a lifestyle and not a diet.  Today was the same as yesterday, I did not eat much though because I think I may be coming down with a cold.  For breakfast was the usual MNS as directed and a Meal Replacement shake.  Through the day I snacked on a hard boiled egg, carrots and humus and then I ate a stuffed turkey quinoa pepper.  I don't have much for you tonight being that I am not really feeling well, I hope to feel better tomorrow and to cook some chicken soup of some sort, which should help a lot with how I'm feeling.  I am down 8 pounds so far, so I am excited to keep on going, I have 20 more to go!   If you have any questions about products or if you are interested in the challenge let me know I would love to help.  I am off to bed! Until tomorrow.
