YAY!!!! I made it to day 10 and I am so glad! I have completed the cleanse portion of the Advocare 24 Day challenge! Tomorrow, I am going to be off and running in phase 2.
Basically, now that I've completed the cleanse my body is working at optimal efficiency. Digestion and absorbing nutrients are improved and I can just tell by the way I feel I'm a bit healthier already. 14 days to go ! I believe that once I've committed myself to something, I have to finish it. Which may explain why I married the only boyfriend I ever had, and never use temporary hair dye. I'm an all or nothing kinda girl.
As a person who's suffered IBS most of my life, I have to say, I am feeling oh-so-regular right now, and that is worth a million bucks right there. I just feel better. which ALSO makes me want to work out. So, I WIN!! :)
So exactly what is this "phase 2" business I've been talking about anyway? Huh? Don't get all anxious. I'll explain it. Advocare, as you may know is a company that used to only market to professional athletes, but in the last 18 years or so has expanded and we can now reap the benefits of the science behind what they do.. So, the MSN (Metabolic nutrition system) is what I'll be doing for the next 14 days, and beyond that I'll be fine tuning and tweaking it, But for now it includes vitamins, amino acids, appetite suppressants (herbal ones, like cinnamon!) and probiotics, which will help to even out my metabolism and help me continue to drop the poundage my body has been so fond of hanging on to. I will also have more energy, but in a good way, not in a "is she on speed?" kind of way. There are 3 types of the MSN. "E" gives you more energy than appetite control, C is more appetite control and a bit less on the energy, and Max 3 is sort of even on both fronts. I'm doing the max E and I'll see how that works for me if I need to change or tweak it in the coming weeks!
So, my lovelies, I will see you tomorrow! I'm off to do my weights!
