Lance and I stopped taking our Advocare MNS on Thursday simply because we ran out of product. I'll explain in a minute why we didn't order any more. But, we've still been taking Spark, Meal Replacement Shakes and Catalyst. My weight was already up before Thursday, so I don't think not taking the MNS has anything to do with the weight gain.
I still think it is directly related to working out. After each workout last week, I was up about 1 pound on the scale. These were pretty hard workouts! My clothes fit better and I feel better, but the stupid scale hates me....or I hate it....or its a mutual hate!
I'm trying not to be discouraged and am just going to "keep on going on". Hopefully the scale will start going in the other direction soon.
Now, regarding the MNS product. On Thursday, we realized that we were out of MNS and didn't have any more in stock. We could have easily ordered more and it would have gotten here by Friday, but this is a special month for us. Why? Because at the end of the month, we are writing our very last check for my Student Loan and then we will be DEBT FREE! We will still have our mortgage, but we don't consider that debt - even though I know it technicallly is. We follow Dave Ramsey and he doesn't consider it debt - so neither do we :)
Anyway, in order to write that last check (its bigger than our normal debt snowball), we have to live very modestly this month and save all non-discretionary spending. The only non-necessity we have spent money on this month is Easter outfits for the kids. So, at the end of the day, becoming debt-free was more important to us than getting more Advocare MNS product. We'll get back on it next month.
First of all...CONGRATULATIONS on getting completely out of debt!!! That is absolutely amazing!! Way to go, you guys!
ReplyDeleteI think you're doing a great job on your weight loss. I agree...sometimes it is so frustrating to work so hard and then not see results on the scale! Boo!
What is your workout regimen? So far, all I'm doing is walking, but I haven't had a good long walk since last Wednesday. Wanted to go in the morning early before it gets too hot, but a workman is coming to fix our TV right at the time the boys would be ready to walk! =( I don't want to get too much in the hang of not walking!
