Preparing for the 24 day challenge

I am at an all time high with my weight. I can't even begin to express how this makes me feel! I know that those of you that have experienced weight struggles understand. I am starting the Advocare 24 day challenge tomorrow. I was thinking if this doesn't work I just don't know what I will do!!! But here's the deal: It's not like the other things I have done haven't worked, I just give up and stop trying!!!! There are no secrets just eat healthy and exercise. I'm not expecting this challenge to be a magic pill it is just a tool. I'm going to post each night during the 10 day cleanse phase with what I have eaten for the day and what my exercise looks like. I will post results on day 11 and day 24. I have all my foods for tomorrow prepared and my bag packed so I can take the 9:30 kickboxing class at work. It looks like I am moving in to work I am taking so much stuff!!!

I have my eating for the first 10 days all planned! Here are a list of the meals I will be preparing and eating. Each night when I post about the day I will include the recipes.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal and fruit
Egg scramble and fruit
Black Bean and Egg Scramble

Lunch:
Leftovers :0)
Chicken and avocado salad
Grilled chicken with pineapple brown rice
Avocado egg salad
Salmon Salad
Grilled Chicken Salad

Dinner:
Warm pineapple and chicken salad
Slow cooker salmon
Asian chicken stir fry
Zesty bunless burger
Chicken and spinach skillet dish
Slow cooker chicken burritos
Spaghetti squash with grilled chicken and sun dried tomatoes
Taco shrimp

Snacks:
Trail mix
Fruit and almonds
Hard boiled egg and fruit
Apple or Celery and natural peanut butter
Veggie and hummus

I am excited to see some results!!! I'm not thinking it's going to be easy but it must be done. I'm the most scared about NO DIET COKE!!!!! Check back through the week for some recipes and hopefully some pounds gone!

  1. I completely feel the same as you. I have never been this heavy and honestly I am at a breaking point. My shipment of the 10 cleanse comes in Tuesday and I am starting Wednesday. I wish you the best of luck. I will follow your blog to see your progression. We can do this!

  2. I just finished the 10 day cleanse last week- preparation is KEY, which it sounds like you are doing so you are off to a good start!

    The first day, go easy on the exercise, dont push yourself too much, after that your energy levels should be back to normal- or they were for me.... after the first 3 days the rest of the 10 days coasted by! You will feel amazing!!! Try not to drive yourself crazy by weighing every day, I only weighed half way through and at the end because on day 2 I stepped on the scale and didnt like that I hadnt dropped weight yet...

    GOOD LUCK! You will LOVE it! :)
