24 Day Fitness Challenge/ Advocare

So I haven't blogged for a while. NO inspiration. Ive been stressed out and busy student teaching, and training at Art Of Defense, then there was THE HOLIDAYS. *shudder*
But it's all OVER now. It's a new year, a new decade. I don't have any resolutions to speak of... Those pounds that crept on after my surgery in Aug are nearly gone, I feel healthy and energized. Good time to start the "24 Day Fitness Challenge"!
Truthfully don't believe in doing all these synthetic diet/health aids. This one touts itself to be natural, and it does add in such things as Omega oil caps, (I usually get mine naturally through seeds and fish...)But right away I saw tuarine as an ingredient on the energy packets, soI may or may not take those.
Anyway, so partly I am trying "24FC" because all my buddies at the gym are doing it, and partly because maybe I will be able to shed the last stubborn 5#s with all this "herbal cleansing" nonsense.lol...
Of course along with the challenge, you aren't supposed to have bread or dairy or corn (which I don't do anyway) You are supposed to eat low fat proteins and tons of fruits and vegies. Well, lucky for me, it's what I eat ANYWAY. But most of the other 9 people in the challenge are really ummm challenged by not being able to get fast food etc.I would imagine, that if everyone in the fitness challenge loses weight, it will be more from the healthy diet than from the supplements!
So today's regime started with the Advocare fiber drink. Tonight I take 3 pills that are "herbal cleansing". This I am supposed to do for the first 3 days, then the regime changes to only the herbal cleansing pills + a pro-biotic pill for 4 days, then back to the drink plus pro-biotic for the last 3 days of the cleansing portion of the 24FC. (SO out of the 24 days, 10 are "cleansing" days.)
Last night at class, all 10 of us weighed in and had measurements recorded all over our bodies. At the end of the 24 days, re-measure and re-weighing.I weighed in at 129# (that's an eve weight.. Id be 127# in the a.m...)and I didn't really see the measurements. That will remain a surprise, but I will post the results.
Perhaps I will try to keep up with some sort of blogging as I go here too.
ok, I'm outty!
