Final Results of the 24 Day Challenge

Well we finished our 24 Day Challenge, actually we finished Wednesday but it's been so crazy around here that I haven't had time to post our results. Let me just say that we are very excited! Not only have we lost pounds and inches, but we have gained a healthy respect for our bodies and are being much more careful about what we put into them.
Here are a couple of experiences that have really shown us the difference that the Advocare products and a healthy lifestyle will get you.
#1 Last Saturday we went to the lake with several of our friends and all of our children. (8 adults, 11 kids) Our wonderful hosts had laid out quite a spread. Thanks Kelley! After playing in the water for several hours Josh was very hungry, so he over-indulged a bit. He sampled several dips, tackled 2 hot dogs, and threw back a couple of Diet Mountain Dews. By the time we got home that night he was nauseous and remorseful. A month ago this would have had no effect on either one of us, but after you've given your body all of this "good stuff" filling it with junk will throw you into a tailspin. The next morning Josh told me he had a "food hangover". It made us realize that we don't want our bodies to just accept those foods without any repercussions. Of course you can have anything in moderation, but why not just fuel your body the right way to start with.

#2 WARNING!!! This one deals with female stuff, so consider yourself warned.
Usually I have to stay loaded up on Tylenol, Midol, and whatever else I can get my hands on. This month was great! No meds needed at all and I wasn't a total bear to live with! I'm not going to go into great detail here, but ladies if you want any more info on this subject matter feel free to give me call or send me an email.


The FINAL RESULTS!!!
Josh lost a total of 11 inches and 9.6 pounds.
I lost a total of 12 1/4 inches and 7.6 pounds.

Let me know if you'd like to start your own 24 DAY CHALLENGE. I would love to help you get a jump start on a healthier, slimmer lifestyle!

Better late than never

So I slacked on keeping the blog updated. Sorry! We've been very busy and I let it slide. We have been sticking to the challenge though and it has been surprisingly easy. I would definitely recommend having a partner for this. An accountability partner helps so much. Tomorrow we will start the last week of the challenge. We both weighed and measured Saturday morning. Josh was down 7.8 lbs and 9 1/4 inches. I had lost 7 lbs and 10 1/2 inches. We are seeing more results in the inches than pounds, which is really ok since it's the inches that make a difference in clothing!
As far as the food goes, we still haven't bought chips or had fries. We are eating carrot sticks, sweet potatoes and steamed veggies with our sandwiches. I know opening a bag of chips is easier and subbing a side salad is more expensive than just getting fries with that grilled chicken sandwich, but it pays off in the long run. We are feeling so much better and our children are reaping the benefits as well.
