Well the challenge has been going pretty well for me. I have been being very religious with the diet and am training for a half marathon, so am exercising daily as well. I feel better then the past, and that is really all that matters. I am looking for more food options, because I have been eating pretty much eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, almonds and fruit for my snacks, salads for lunch, and then chicken with a side at night for supper. That pretty much sums up my food choices right now, and I am always looking for something new to try. I have always been a picky eater, but I am willing to give things a shot to switch things up a bit. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you have tried before.
I am having one problem with the challenge however. I seem to be losing my wind when I am running a lot easier now then in the past. I have been doing some research and trying to figure out if it has anything to do with the cleanse phase of the challenge, but have not found anything. I have been getting a little bored with running as well lately, so that is more then likely what the problem is, but I am going to try to push through that and keep running a lot.
One thing I am amazed by on this challenge is the fact that the Advocare Spark drink has completely curbed my craving for sodas and other sugary energy drinks. I used to be a 2 to 3 bottle a day soda drinker, and then add in a Rockstar Energy drink as well. I went cold turkey on those when the challenge started and the Spark drink has made me stop thinking about the unhealthy drinks completely.
This weekend will be a real test as far as sticking to the diet, but I know I can do it. I tend to eat out a lot on the weekends, and also am going home for Mother's Day, so family dinners will be a little challenging, but I am going to bring a few things I can eat as well.
If you are interested in trying this 24 Day Challenge or just have some general questions about it, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day weekend!
Until Next Time..
