"So far, so good"

      Yesterday was my first day of AdvoCare "24 Day Challenge"  and it was AWESOME!! I started out my morning with the fiber shake...the taste was not bad like you would think a fiber shake would be. I found out on day two that it is even better when the water is really cold. On day one I ate really good staying within my budgeted calorie count, and also took the supplements that will help jump start my body. I did not use any Spark..I do not know why...just didn't. The evenings tend to be my down fall..I have been a late night snacker for the longest time, and I truly believe is one of the reason I have not lost any weight so far. On day one I ate dinner at 6:30 ,and did not have anything to eat for the rest of the night. This was  HUGE accomplishment for me, a little empowering even because it has been so long since I have not had a late night snack. I just took my cleanse supplements right before bed, and went to sleep all night long.
     Day two was even better than day one!! I feel so good!! Woke up and drank the fiber drink again, like I said, with cold water this time...much better! Then I took my supplements. Today was fun because I experimented a little in the kitchen. Sticking to my menu provided by my mentor I had one egg white and one egg for breakfast with low fat cottage cheese and strawberries. It was delicious and filling. Lunch I tried red wine vinegar as a salad dressing...who would have thought that would be sooooooooo good??? I'm not usually a big fan of vinegar, but red wine vinegar..I will gladly hop on that healthy train!! Then, dinner I made Paleo chili..OMGoodness..it was like a part in my healthy eating mouth! I also got some exercise in tonight. I went to a 45 minute Zumba class at the YMCA, and I left feeling very sweaty and like I got a good workout.  I also tried Spark out for the first time today. When the day started I never knew I was going to get so much accomplished. I drank my Spark after lunch and finished all my chores that would have possibly taken me all day. It really helped me stay energized and focused.
     I am looking forward to tomorrow. It is only day two and I already feel better and a little different. I will not weigh myself until Sunday because sometimes that scale really is my worst enemy. Right now I am more motivated than ever, and I am determined to stay that way!
