Advocare 24 Day Challenge Day: 8

Well, it's back to the Fiber Drink for 3 more times!  Today began the last stretch of the 10 day Cleanse portion of the 24DC!  I am almost to weigh-in and measurement day!  If I told you I wasn't nervous I'd be lying.  I'm not sure what to expect.  I am trying to go with low expectations, so that way if the results from the first 10 days aren't great, then I won't be disappointed.  But, I do know I have been working my butt off, and trying REALLY hard to do all my homework and drink all the water I need!
I want to make it clear that the Meal Replacement Shakes are NOT necessary for the Cleanse Portion of the Challenge.  I opted to take them, as I am not a huge breakfast person, and quite honestly I am literally running out the door late and this is a convenience thing for me!  The shakes are necessary for breakfast in the Max Phase.  Once again, this benefits me as this is EASY for me in the morning while I am typically going crazy!  Many of you have questioned if all I am doing is taking pills and shakes.  The simple answer is: NO!  I am eating, basically cutting out sugar, white-refined flour and the junk!  I can't live without carbs, so being able to still east pasta, bread and potatoes is a PLUS in my book! Here's today's rundown:

Upon Waking:  Probiotic Restore-Ultra tabs (followed by 8oz water), Fruit Punch Spark

30 Minutes After Spark:  Fiber Drink followed by 8oz water

Breakfast (30 minutes After Fiber Drink):  Chocolate Mocha Meal Replacement Shake

Mid-Morning Snack:  Banana

Lunch:  Tuna Salad with hard boiled egg, celery and Mayo with Olive Oil on a bed of spring mix with cucumber, tomato and carrots + 2 Omegaplex (since I forgot to take them at breakfast)

Mid-Afternoon Snack:  Fruit Punch Spark + 3 Catalyst

Exercise:  Jillian Michaels Total Body Revolution Workout 1

Dinner:  Turkey Chili found in the 24 Day Challenge Cookbook, this was yummy! + 2 Omegaplex

Evening Snack:  Apple

Total Water Consumed:  80oz.

Overall Thoughts:  I am happy to be on the home stretch of the Cleanse.  I am excited to start the vitamin packs that come in the next Phase.  The other thing I noticed is a change in my fingernails.  They seem stronger, and I'm not sure but it could be from the Omegaplex capsules (Fish Oil).  I have heard Fish Oil is good for your hair and skin, so maybe it works on your nails too.  This is good for me, as long as I can stop biting them!  (Bad habit!)  Let's get this done, I know you area all anxiously awaiting to see the first set of results as am I....
