My Results of the 24 Day Challenge!

So here they are:  My 24DC Results!  Overall I am proud of myself!  I see a difference in my waistline, my back rolls are nearly gone, and my arms are a little bit muscular!  I only lost 3 lbs total on the challenge, and a Total of 5 inches.  I lost 1 inch on my waist, 2 inches on my hips and 1 inch on each thigh!  I was hoping to lose a little more, but what I honestly think happened, was that I was eating TOO LITTLE!  I wasn't calorie counting, and I think that even though with all the veggies, protein and fruit I was eating, it just was too little calories for the amount of exercise I was doing!  What happens now you ask?  I continue on!  I will maintain doing the Advocare SPARK, and MNS vitamins, and on occasion the Meal Replacement Shake if I need a quick breakfast on my way out the door!  This system DOES work.  Everyone needs tweaks, and mine was trying to balance my diet with my exercise, but I think I finally have it down.  I am excited to see my Day 45, 60 and 90 pictures!  In honor of celebration I am hoping you will do the Challenge now that you see you too can lose weight and become healthier!  Message me at loridietz78@gmail.com to find out how you can get a special offer on the 24 Day Challenge, or find me on Facebook!  Thank you to all who followed my blog and those who have reached out to support me with words of encouragement!  You are all the best, and I thank you for standing by me through this journey!  I hope to help you through yours when you are ready!

Overall Thoughts:  I can't believe I am at the end of this challenge.  I have had quite a few emotional days, and a good friend explained that because I have started eating healthy and doing the right things for my body, that I am now ridding myself of all the bad junk and the side effects can be bad PMS until my body stabilizes on the healthy lifestyle.  I was eating so many processed foods before and so much sugar that my body is still going through "withdrawal."  However these effects are only temporary, and the long term goal is right around the corner!
