Advocare 24 day challenge- Day 2

Today is day two of the 24 day challenge. I really started yesterday but I was only on track about 50%. I am having trouble eating 5 times a day. I feel if I was at work it would be a lot easier because i am scheduled. but on my days off I don't get up till 11 in the morning. I know it is something that I will have to make myself do. Today was much better. I also went grocery shopping to help me along which I didn't have yesterday. I have drank about 60oz of water today and plan to drink more. Also I am pre cooking a lot of my food because I do not have the time during my work week to cook meals. I wanted to review each of the things I am taking so that you can get an idea of what they are and how I feel about them. *Spark* This is your coffee/soda replacement energy drink. This is from the AdvoCare website- "AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink is a unique multi-nutrient system that was developed as a nutritional source of energy and enhanced mental focus.* It’s a sugar-free drink mix that has 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 overstimulate your body like other energy drinks on the market." Hands down I love this stuff! I have only had the fruit punch flavor but it tastes awesome just like fruit punch. The only bad thing about it is that it tends to separate if you dont drink it all right away. I always mix mine with half a glass of warm water mix in the powder and then add ice and top it off with cold water. I cannot wait to try the other flavors! *Herbal Cleanse* Bottom line the pills are fine... the fiber drink sucks but you just have to get used to it. The first day i only got some of it down... the second day all of it. It is just texturally bad. It is like drinking orange juice that is 60% pulp with a tiny bit of sand in it. *Catalyst* Advocare says- "Catalyst supplement works by providing a blend of essential branched-chain amino acids and L-glutamine to supply your body with the muscle-building components it needs.* Catalyst helps to repair and protect muscle, and thereby promote lean body mass by providing the essential amino acids that are in short supply.* Other amino acids found in Catalyst such as L-glutamine, L-arginine, taurine and betaine help fuel and maintain your muscles to assist and support endurance and strength." I have been taking this in the morning at my advisor's suggestion as an add on. I don't know if it is helping but I'll keep taking it. I really want to start taking ThermoPlus I think it would really help me but I don't want to mess up the 10 day cleanse. I also filled out the weight and measurements sheet, I figure I can post it on here too for tracking purposes. Start Day: 7/14/2012 Weight:300 Right arm:17" Shoulders:54" Chest:54" Stomach:57" Hips:57" Right thigh:31.5" Right Calf:18.5" Total:289" For the last two days I have been trying to figure out what my goal for the 24 days is. But I think I have settled on Losing 20lbs. Call me crazy?? maybe.. but logically at my weight and with the changes in my diet I think that sounds about right. a quick last note. I love my adviser. Sure I just met her but when I told her I never fit into normal sizes as an adult or even a teenager she said "trust me those are normal" 1. it made me feel better 2. it made me really look at how I view myself. AS NOT NORMAL.
