This morning I was actually down 3.5 pounds since Monday (the start of my 24 day challenge). I'm not recording that as officail yet - I'll do that on Monday, but its a good measure for now.
Taking the products has been pretty easy. Being 100% perfect on the eating plan has been less easy, but I've still been about 85% on. I'll check back in on Monday.

AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge
I'm BAACCKKK!
I know it's been a long time since I've blogged on here, but I haven't given up on my goals. My family and I have been so sick this winter and we are still suffering. We have had everything from the flu to stomach bugs to staph infections! I guess I'm just trying to say that it's just hard to keep up with something new when you are constantly having to deal with curve balls being thrown at you.
Anyway, Lance and I started an AdvoCare business last Fall. If you have never heard of AdvoCare, check out our website or better yet, ask one of us about it. In a nutshell, AdvoCare offers the highest quality nutritional supplements on the market. One of the most popular bundles is called the "24 day challenge". It starts with a 10 day cleanse, followed by a 14 day regimen of Metabolic Nutritional System. People who take the 24 day challenge feel better, lose weight (anywhere between 5 and 18 pounds), have more energy and look better. It's a great way to jump start a sucessful weight loss program.
So, the two of us started our very own 24 day challenge on Monday this week. I caught my son's Upper Respiratory Infection on Tuesday, so it has been difficult to stay on track, but I feel like I've been doing pretty good nonetheless. I'll keep posting our progress on our 24 day challenge here.

AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge: Start Weight

Last official WW weigh in

Strength Training
So, in addition to my running program, I am doing some strength training 2 days per week. I completed my first day today and am feeling good!
Many of you have probably heard about P90X, but have you ever heard of Power90? Power90 is P90X's predecessor and I got it way back when no one had ever heard about it. I did it before my wedding and lost about 20 pounds. It includes a cardio workout and a strength training workout and you alternate between the two 6 days a week.
Honestly, I am burnt out on the complete Power90 program, but I still love the strength training video. Its like I have a personal trainer right there on my television. In about 30 minutes, I work all of the core muscle groups and get my stretching in. So, that is what I am using to do my strength training twice a week.
I'll keep checking in!

Week 20: Weigh In Results
Well, I missed weigh-in again last Thursday. I will confess though, that I've probably put on about 1.8 pounds since my last weigh in. :(
Now that Lance has started football, it is very hard for me to get up to Weight Watchers with both kids. I'm either going to have stop going to the meetings and just do it on my own at home - OR - I'm going to have to just go weigh in and not stay for the meeting. I really like going to the weight watcher meetings, I like having an offical weigh in for the week and I like hearing the meeting topic, other people's perspectives and mingle a little. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I'll keep you posted.
Now for some good news - I started running again today. You might remember that I started a while back, but quickly began having some pain in my feet that brought my running program to a screeching halt! Well, I figured out that I have plantar fasciitis.
For the last 2 months, I have been doing heel and calf stretches and wearing my fancy new running shoes all day long (no more going all day bare foot). My feet still hurt, but it has improved alot. Today, I again did Week 1 Day 1 of the Couch to 5K program. It was pretty tough, but I'm proud to report that 1) I did it and 2) my feet didn't hurt that bad.
That's about it for me today. I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for the new week!

Monday Check-In
Where my peeps at? If you ever read this blog, please post a comment and let me know. I know I need to better at posting more often, but I am curious to know if anyone out there is reading :)
So, my Monday has gone pretty good so far. I actually started journaling again today. I only have 7.5 points left for the entire day (if you aren't a weight watcher then let me just tell you that is not very much) but at least I have journaled every single calorie consumed today.
I know there are many teachers and students going back to school today and I want to send best wishes to all of you. Espically those of you with kiddos starting kindergarten today - I don't even want to think about that happening to me, even though its only 3-4 years away.
