Coastal Living

I have been missing from the blogging world for a few days and I missed it! Our family spent the weekend at the coast for a small reunion with family member from out of state. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved getting to know their cousin from Florida. 

Today is day 22 on the challenge. I am excited to weigh in and measure in 2 more days. My pants all fit very loose in the legs and the butt. They are more comfortable around the waist but I know that with a little more time, I will be working my way into a smaller pair. There are times I feel like I haven't changed, but when clothes just feel better on, it's a great feeling. My 24 day challenge will now become a 90 day challenge. I will continue to eat clean foods and limit some food. As far as AdvoCare goes, I will continue with the MNS 3 (Metabolic Nutrition System) packets that are full of great daily nutrition. I will also continue to drink 1-2 Sparks a day. But I would also like to try the ThermoPlus supplements. These are thermogenics that help suppress appetite and boost metabolism so that you can burn more calories. I will continue with the Catalyst and meal replacement shakes as well. There are so many great products and now that the challenge will be complete, I will be able to try out new products. My 90 day goal is to be down another 15 pounds and back into my old jeans. And when I get there, that will be an incredible feeling. 

I have heard others talk about foods that bother their stomach after switching to clean eating. It's mostly foods that are not great for you or should be in small quantities. Since this challenge, I have discovered that cheese makes my stomach hurt if I have more than a slice at a time. I know...I was supposed to cut it out completely in this challenge but I did have some. And I have to say, I look back on it and think it was not worth it. I was not satisfied by eating a little piece of cheese. And it seems like I am still alive when I take the added salt and cheese out of my meals. (I never would have guessed!) 

As always,

BE THE BEST YOU
