24 Day Challenge - Day 1

Well, today is the day I started the AdvoCare 24 day challenge. I was totally gung ho on getting up & measuring, weighing, taking before pictures, etc. I went to drink the fiber drink & learned one very important thing: do not let it sit for any time at all because it thickens up & is very hard to swallow it without gagging it back up. Soooo, lesson learned. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good with it. I did realize however, that we have a lot of junk food in this house! Getting the kids breakfast this morning was an eye opener. I realized how much stuff I need to get rid of to make our family healthy! So I went to the store & loaded up on fruits & veggies. And some soy milk. I'm thinking I'll make a smoothie with that & some berries. We'll see how it tastes! This is a whole new thing for me, because I've never done a cleanse and I've never been on any different eating habits (I don't want to say the "D" word - diet, cause I don't believe in diets. I believe in lifestyle changes). I hate counting calories, so I'm really excited that I don't have to with AdvoCare's challenge. I will be updating along the way, so check back regularly!
