Organic Trader Joe's mango granola with almond milk (1 serving size)
Lunch was some vegan soup acorn squash soup & chili, I also had some fruit salad a small piece of vegan bread & a vegan cream puff with choc. sauce on it. I had a small amount of some other vegan thing perhaps, but I don't think so. I wasn't all that hungry. Supper was a salad with a very small amount of the cran/rasp organic dressing & a couple of pita chips on it & 1.5 cups of the wheat angel hair pasta, chicken & capers from TGIF left over (I did add more capers to it). 1c. of dark choc. almond milk. I also treated myself to a scoop of ice cream & tbs. of carmel topping. Now full once again.

Saturday 3/5
C Pre packet LOTS of water all morning long grape Spark mixed with grape Rehydrate & in between my 2~ 30 min ZIC sessions a berry meal replacement & 1 banana. Lunch was 1 bite of salad 1 heaping tablespoon of these texas Bush's baked beans & 3 taquitos (which is more remaining food item in the house we'll no longer ever buy again due to the highly processed & unhealthy food) Still sick so lunch was kinda rushed. I took a nap trying to catch up on some sleep as I'd been coughing some last night & tonight didn't look too promising either. Didn't work too well as once I laid down I started coughing a lot. I was able to talk to Pam so that cheered me up feeling useful & assisting her with the 24 day order. It's like the 6 sheets are a very important guide book to success & I should have gone over it in more detail I think. I'm still kinda new at it so I'll know to do better explaining the next time.
Dinner out to eat... :) I weighed in this AM at 150 with heavy shoes & clothes on & still full of food if you get my drift, so I wasn't to displeased at all. Not to mention I'll have to put the pants I was wearing away as they were kinda baggy & still falling down even with a belt on. Did 1 hour Zumba at BRF too.
Dinner was at TGIF I had a free entree with an app & entree purchase... both of us could have just eaten the app only (boneless wings) & I think I had 4 of them & 3 pieces of celery dipped in bleu cheese dressing & walked away full! Took 5 small bites of the entree & boxed the rest up. Jamie also had about that of his entree too a little more & no celery. He couldn't eat more... which is exactly what he shouldn't be doing.
I had 2 blue raspberry gummies at 10pm as a small treat. No dessert at all at TGIF even though everything looked yummy I didn't even come close to hardly touching the entree. NO Leptilean even! That "C" vitamin packet is really working well all on it's own! Here are some photos that I took today. I guess I'm about 51% close to my goal weight of about 117.
As you can see I didn't bother to photoshop them as you notice the horrible tag sticking out... in the before photos (ones with clothes on) I'm about 170-175 approx. I really had problems finding photos as I had stop allowing most be taken as big as I was & the most recent I could even find was from 10/31/10.
The swim suit I'm wearing is a size 5 bottoms & size 7-8 JR's top. Which is hopefully close to my final weight goal.

Friday 3/4
Ok so my typical breakfast routine prepills as I leave then house & going for the choc. Advocare meal replacement today when I get to work 35 min later. I still can't get over how yummy they are, also how disgusting that Shakology one I had 2 days ago was!
1/2 powder serving of Grape Spark (got my canister in today so much cheaper than the packets)
10:30am start on the Spark. A bit later but I drank a lot of water this am with the morning pills.
11:50am ~ 30 min before lunch pills
12:40pm lunch... ok so it wasn't exactly 30 min... Japanese noodle leftovers (not making that much again I hate eating the same exact food for like 3 days in a row) for like more than 1 meal a day. 10 (or so) baby carrots & some salmon dip (more salmon than a dip) 1 banana & 5 cashew seasalt roasted natural nuts too. Approx. count on stuff... if I'm going to literally count that it's getting a bit too bad.
almost 5pm & not hungry. :)
8:40pm dinner. I was hungry but was meeting with a lady about 5 days into her Advocare cleanse & wanted to do the 14 days after the cleanse now too seeing the results. She's been feeling better & losing some weight already. She's been struggling with some energy issues & with her food allergies had pretty much already been eating pretty good. She's notice that she's not eating quite as much & feeling fuller faster & is so far pleased with the results & the products. (obviously)
What's really bad is I can't remember what I ate last night... really bad. All I know was I was tired & have somehow came down with a cough/cold. Not only that but I do know I had too much to eat & it really wasn't all that much food either. I do know I had 2 small pieces of that cchip cookie brownie... so at least I remembered the important part. Not only that I now remember. 1 had 2 crossant wrapped hotdogs stuffed with rice cheese & some buttery sauced corn... So needless to say not anything I'd recommend as healthy eating... but good news is once all that's outta the house we're no longer buying all kinds of unhealthy items anymore so at least that was the good news of that.

THURS 3/3
taking the "C" appetite control vitamins. Day 3. I can TOTALLY tell a difference. It's now 1.75 hours after I started drinking my shake. I'm pretty full & am having problems finishing it. Not because of the taste (as we all know from previous posts the Advocare meal replacements are yummy) but because I feel full. I want to reach 140 by the end of this month... I don't think 8.8 lbs. in a month is too much to ask for 139.9 is better, but I'm being reasonable here.
SNAP fitness has an 8 week team goal weight loss going on & great prizes to be won for that! So even more motivation is always a good thing. Not to mention the fact that I've pretty much become a walking billboard & don't even need to say a word about Advocare as the loss in just 1 month is so obvious people are coming up & asking me what I've been doing. Or if they haven't seen me in 4 mo. they might possibly not even totally recognize me or at least question their judgment.
Berry meal replace & V-16 today for breakfast, & morning snack as I didn't really feel like eating it. I'm really liking the "C" vitamins... they are really working great to help me feel full. Lunch 1.5 cups of lettuce & reduced low fat/lo cal Balsamic dressing & 1 can of tuna right outta the can... full... go figure, guess I'll have to put back the carrots & dip I had planned on having a few cashews too yet for lunch. Will save for a snack, or something. I didn't even have an afternoon snack yesterday... which is freaking awesome as my biggest issue is eating not only too much or the wrong stuff but the growlies in the afternoon.
I guess it's true what they say that habits are formed in just 14-20 days as I've got some stale Double Stuft Oreo's & crunchy gummy worms in my work closet... SHHH don't tell anyone. Not that I think anyone would want them at this point anymore.
2pm banana snack~was almost too ripe & I needed to eat it.
3:30pm literally 4 cashews. I really wanted to try them... Ok so I'm gonna stop snacking after this as i'm not really that hungry, just procrastinating about doing more work.
8:30pm Dinner~ 1.5 c. leftover tomato, seaweed & Japanese rice noodles & 3/4 c. sauteed in olive oil mushrooms & 3 Trader Joe's shrimp wantons. I've been reading recently how you should avoid shrimp & lobster... still not convinced as to why... might want to look that up but know that it wouldn't make me avoid them anyways. I had 1 small piece of that cchip brownie. It was a really small piece.
1tbs. pure glutamine stirred into organic agave sweetened lemonade. Yeah, it sometimes is amazing what you find on sale at Woodman's for a reasonable price.

The Final 24 day Advocare challenge results are in!
I had to wait until I could get in with the same person measuring same scale & until the muscle swelling subsided from the extra Zumba toning classes recently this week. so 30 min of ZIC & 1 hour of Zumba Toning/ Zumba mix at Shake N' Shed I did a private session as for some reason Wed. attendance is just slow there for some reason.
I lost 12.6 lbs., 4 pants sizes (12 down to size 8) 1 entire ring size, 4.25 inches over the measurements taken & I can no longer see love handles from the front view in the mirror. I'll post photos this weekend (maybe sooner but not tonight).
Some of the measurements that I didn't lose in surprised me. Nothing in the chest area, I'm not sure is accurate as I know that my size changed there in bras. The other measurement that didn't surprise me was my thigh measurement didn't change... truly there wasn't hardly anything there at all to lose (very solidly muscle) to begin with so I'm not surprised. Biggest change was my waistline going from 35 down to 33.5 going down just 1.5" in just a month.

Wed 3/2
Ok so it looks like I'm not going to catch up with the blog or have time to for the past few days. Needless to say I've been eating fairly healthy had a piece of CChip cookie brownie last night but hardly ate much during the day the "C" appetite control Advocare vitamins I started on work very well to make my stomach live by my rules not it's own. Anyways, got some more Advocare info & found out that Catalyst aka "lipo in a bottle" is possibly what's making my fat rolls go away so quickly with my current exercise routine. Take it 10-15 min before working out & I've been taking pure glutamine 1tbs. at night on more intense workout days. Seems my 30 min. Zumba workouts are almost so easy at this point, I don't feel like it's a workout anymore... I forgot to take it last night. But seriously, I've talked to multiple in the know people about it & they said it's very very good.
Another thing I read just last night about the cleanse I didn't do but sounds very much like I should have done is water "chugging" sessions with almost 2X the regular recommended amount of water. I seem to do pretty well on that drinking about 2 qts. a day. but they were saying almost 4... wow looks like on the cleanse I should have been going a lot more pee wise had I been drinking that much. I'll know for the next one... just think I could have lost more weight had I actually followed all the suggestions. I forgot to take my Omegaplex at night during that too! I guess reading more would have been a bigger benefit.
I just sampled some Shakeology (not an Advocare product) protein drink this AM instead... OMG I wanted to yak. That stuff greenberry flavor was GROSS... I'm talking GROSS with capitol letters~! So horrible I had to hold my nose to choke it down & then wanted to still yak. I really wished I had remembered to bring it this morning I did remember my "C" pack vitamins. Good thing it was just a sample or I really would have been upset. If your ever looking for a good dare that would be a good one. I feel like my tongue was violated. :P
Washing mouth out after a ton of water & then with Oasis... much better & blueberry tea flavored.
Wow, still a few hours later & the grossness is still burned into my tastebuds... man it's like it was lima bean, beet & brusselsprout flavored (all stuff I hardly ever eat with similar yuckyness) or something just a nasty...if not nastier.
went to a chinese buffet for lunch. did really well didn't eat much & didn't really care for the few pieces of fried stuff I did have... it's like the desire to eat that is gone. Even the ice cream I used to like there I didn't even have any as I was full after just 1 plate of food. For the best I'm sure. I'm just happy it didn't taste as icky as that greenberry drink.

Sun 2/27
Ok so I had a terrible night last night... I took some vitamins from Barge's nutritional supply on Friday & Saturday... it was supposed to be similar to what was in the V16 drinks.... Not only did it turn my pee a neon yellow... (not kidding) even drinking my regular amounts of water... I didn't feel energized & I ended up getting up I kid you not 10 times during the night to pee. Good thing I do testing on myself before I even thinking about confidently soliciting them onto other people. :P Needless to say that stuff isn't even in our house anymore... What a waste of $$ man I'd feel TOTALLY ripped off had I bought that stuff full price.
It's just testament to appreciating the Advocare products even more... no qty.'s of having to buy 120 pills only to find out they don't work or some other horrible stuff like having to wreck your weekend of sleep.
I didn't wake up until 10am due to the stupid pee incidents all night long on Sunday. I treated myself to a semi- naughty day I had 1 serving of Cinnabon caramel pancakes 3 small ones (processed food) with a little 0 cal buttery spread & syrup... yes i'm sure HFCS was involved... & 3 lo-fat breakfast links. They didn't even taste that good.
Late lunch was some suddenly salad bacon & ranch macaroni salad.. hubby made it & put in the actual amount of mayo... which is always too much & 2 marinaded beef kabobs. Dinner was a Subway 6" flatbread w/ 1 slice white American cheese, 1 sausage patty, egg whites, little bit of mayo, tomato & black olives (had the other 1/2 for breakfast on 2/28) & 1/2 advocado.
