I couldn't help myself, I had to weigh this morning. I wasn't going to weigh again until day 10 of the challenge, but I caved. I was down 1.8 pounds...which I know is just water weight, but still nice to see a lower number on the scale. I know the real difference will come with inches lost.
So far, on Day 2 of the challenge I am rocking it and on track. The hardest part has been upping my protein. I managed to choke down a can of tuna today with no mayo or bread..just kinda of took a bite, followed by a big chug of water.
As far as this being the cleanse phase, coupled with my time of the month, I have not strayed too far from the bathroom today.
I don't know how much of the success from the 24 day challenge is actually from the advocare products, or just the drastic change in diet and exercise recommended in the guide. But at $200 I sure as heck hope the products are going to make a difference.
For the cleanse phase I have had the spark energy drinks, fiber drink, omegaplex, and herbal cleanse pills. I can definitely tell the difference in the fiber intake. I have never really affected by caffeine, I dont normally drink coffee or energy drinks, so I can't really tell that Spark is doing anything. I really only drank coke zero or dt. mountain dew for the taste and the carbonation- not the caffeine.
I do like that there is a check-list of sorts, and specific things to do each day/meal. I am much more likely to follow though that way, rather than thinking abstractly. Kind of the same way with running, I do better with a plan and training guide that tells me when and how long to run.
So far, so good. I have only consumed around 700 calories today, and that has even been a stretch to accomplish. I have not been hungry at all. Gonna have to eat a big dinner...of protein and veggies- oh boy.
I dont want my body to get used to so few calories...I know I will not maintain such a strict diet afterwards. I did well losing weight previously with a large amount of complex carbs and fat, comparatively speaking. This gal needs her bread!
