Day 4 - short & sweet

Let's be real - I really want a brownie!  I usually do not crave things, and when I do -- I just eat it.  But I am staying strong and positive - this to shall pass.

Life Changer

I came across this poem in March 2014 - 

ever since then a copy has been 

taped to my mirror in my bathroom.  

This poem has been a LIFE CHANGER!

Day 2 - Advocare Cleanse!

So I am on Day 2 of my TRANSFORMATION!

As I stated yesterday - I have started this transformation with doing an Advocare 24 Day Challenge -- this is something that I do about twice a year, but Advocare has changed some things up, starting with the 10 Day Cleanse (the 1st 10 days of the challenge).  Here is a breakdown of the Cleanse Phase -- I am taking these products - as well as eating a strict Paleo Diet (I hate using the word diet, but oh well).

Cleanse Phase -- Proper absorption of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals is essential to maintaining a healthy body. However, periodic lifestyle changes may generate the need for a "fresh start" - that's where the Cleanse Phase comes in. 

On Days 1-10 of the 24-Day Challenge, you will take three products.   

These products, in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, help to rid your body of waste and prepare your body to better absorb nutrients.* This isn't the kind of cleanse where you drastically reduce calories or consume only liquids - this is the beginning of a healthier lifestyle!*

• Herbal Cleanse System

The AdvoCare Herbal Cleanse system can help rid your body of waste and prepare the body for optimal nutrient absorption with its unique blend of herbal ingredients.* Using a systematic approach, this 10-day system guides you through the daily steps for thorough internal cleansing and improved digestion.*Each Herbal Cleanse box includes these two key products: ProBiotic Restore™capsules and Herbal Cleanse tablets. For the complete system, use these two products as well as AdvoCare Fiber for the duration of the 10 days.

• OmegaPlex^®

The second product you will use in the Cleanse Phase is OmegaPlex^®, which is a high-quality blend of essential Omega-3 fatty acids for overall wellness.* Omega-3 fatty acids are essential components of heart, nerve, muscle, skin, bone and immune health. As with all of the AdvoCare products, OmegaPlex^® meets high standards for safety and efficacy so you can be sure you are getting some of the purest Omega-3 fatty acids on the market.*

• AdvoCare Spark^®

AdvoCare Spark^® is a unique multi-nutrient system that was developed as a nutritional source of energy and enhanced mental focus.* It's sugar free with more than 20 vitamins, minerals and nutrients that work synergistically to provide a healthy, balanced and effective source of energy that won't overburden or over stimulate your body.*

I AM BACK!

So it has been a while -- but I find that this blog is the best way for me to stay accountable to myself when I do these CRAZY things!  The next 7 weeks -- I am extremely excited about -- and READY!

I started an Advocare 24 Day Challenge TODAY -- this is a normal thing - what I am adding to the mix is a Crossfit Body Transformation program that I start next week (6 week program).  I have done crossfit a couple of times, but months apart (definitely not on the regular).  I am not 100% sure what I have gotten myself into, but I am EXCITED!

On top of the BODY TRANSFORMATION - this is also the beginning of my LIFE TRANSFORMATION -- I am keeping a lot of this on the hush hush at this point in time, but as the weeks go by - I will also be writing about my new LIFE ADVENTURES as well!

I got a little off track recently with my life, diet and exercise - but I am ready to pick up where I left off!  This time, I will write daily - share recipes - share the crossfit experience (good & bad) - share life experiences - and more!
