Day 1
Advocare 24 day challenge.

Yesterday was a really good first day.  I woke up with the sun, ready to face the world and start my challenge with guns blazing.

Yeah..right after I drink the fiber drink.

I've heard horror stories about this drink.  Fiber and drink just don't go in a sentence together.

So I bought the last 4 containers of "simply orange" 13 oz bottles the store had, and had 9 oz measured out and cracked open the first fiber drink packet.


sawdust.  Looked like straight up sawdust.

I knew better than to sniff it, bc it would have ALL BEEN OVER then.  You see, I have what you would call a weak stomach....

So I remember the words of Haley P. "if you wanna lose the weight, you'll drink it like a champ" So I did just that. 

I drank it all in one toss.  I was elated!!  Until my lovely daughter michaela made a weird face at me and the gagging noise. 

I had to drink an entire bottle of water to fend off the nausea but I blame my daughter.

Eating six small meals a day is ALOT when you aren't used to eating but a couple times a day.  I never once got hungry.  I am pretty sure that I am going to get my fill of salads this week until I can go back to the store friday...but i can manage.   Two sparks a day is WOONDDERRFFULL!! I've only drank one a day for a while but two a day is JUST THE TICKET! 

My whole house is spotless.

The evening was a little harder..old habits are usually something fatty and starch ridden for dinner followed by lazy time in front of the tv.  I ate my grilled chicken and salad while my family ate hamburger helper.  They teased me with their hot fudge sundaes they HAD to have when we ran to town for peanuts for me.  

Its ok Shelly.  They shall go on the diet too as soon as grocery day comes. :D:D
