AdvoCare product of the week: Spark variety pack!

Spark is AdvoCare's energy drink and top selling product. Once I started drinking it every day, I noticed my focus is stronger and my energy is consistent; I no longer need a nap!

Spark Variety Pack! DELICIOUS.

AdvoCare recently released Spark in a variety pack, offering you three different flavors to mix things up in the morning and/or throughout the day. The price is excellent: $22.95 for 12 pouches: $1.92 per serving. I think a Redbull or Monster is at least $2.50 per can, and depending on where you get it, coffee is around $2 a pop.

Also, Spark is the most nutritional caffeinated drink available:

  • Sugar-free
  • Contains 21 vitamins, nutrients and minerals including: 
    • B-vitamins
    • Amino acids
    • A neurotransmitter called GABA, which assists in negative ions [GOOD] entering the body, and positive ions [BAD] leaving the body
    • Caffeine
  • Only 45 calories per serving (11g of sugar-free carbs)
If you've been wanting to try an AdvoCare product, I'd suggest starting here! You'll notice a difference the first time you try it. 

Thanks!

Ladies and gentlemen... I'M OLD.

This weekend was RIDIC. Allow me to walk you through it...

THURSDAY
I decided to count my calories because I was curious about how much of a caloric deficit I've been in since going gluten and dairy free. I figured I was in a deficit because I lost weight even when I barely exercised. Turns out, I've been eating between 2,500 and 3,000 EVERY DAY. UM, WHAT?! How awesome is that?! Here's the thing though, I'm now trying to cut back on calories to see what happens. I've created a 1,700 calorie menu that I'll follow four days a week. I'm thinking that if I eat 2,500 calories only three days a week rather than seven, I'll probably lose more weight! That still blows my mind...

FRIDAY
After work I decided to finally have a "cheat" day. The first thing I consumed was cookies. AMAZING. Then, I enjoyed a hard cider (which is gluten-free, but contains 5% alcohol). Then, I had a hot-dog with a bun... RISKY. About two hours after eating said hot-dog, my eyes started itching like crazy, my nose stuffed up and my throat became super scratchy. It felt like I was rolling around in a field of dandelions. I'm not sure if this is the common reaction to eating gluten for the first time in a month, but its what happened to me. Long story short, by Friday night, I felt like A HORSE'S ASS.

SATURDAY
Since I felt like balls after eating A HOT-DOG BUN, I decided my "cheat meals" will consists of sweets and hard cider; no more bread. So, this day was special because it was my really good friend's golden birthday and my boyfriend's family was in town. Since I was planning on being social, I decided to have some drinks. I ended having a super fun night and didn't consume any gluten or dairy. HOORAY. I didn't drink a lot either......

SUNDAY
PSYCH. When I woke up this morning I felt like I was DYING. I've concluded that alcohol is no longer a fun thing to drink :(  I'm totally over feeling like AIDS upon awakening. I'd rather have a couple hard ciders and a cookie and feel happily plump. The worse thing is that I had a diet ginger-ale to calm my stomach and THAT tasted like hell! THE DAY SO ISN'T MINE.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm stoked! I've officially trained my body to despise unhealthy things! I also hate the way I feel right now, and would give anything to feel how I felt all day Friday (and every day for the past month!!) At least I know I haven't been "missing out" on anything. Fortunately, I didn't lose any progress and am more motivated to get back eating healthy.

The moral of the story is: if you're planning on going on a strict diet and are afraid of missing out on the unhealthy things you enjoyed the most, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. The greatness you feel due to being healthy trumps the hell out of your daily Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Its pretty awesome if you ask me!

If you want to buy any AdvoCare products, please, visit my website and select "SHOP" on the top menu bar. Also, drop me a line if you want help picking out a product or two.

Thank you!

Day 25 - FINAL STATS!

Measurements: 34-26.5-38.5
Weight:130
WHR:.71
I personally like my WHR at .71 so I'm glad my hip measurement increased while I still stayed the same weight and waist measurement! I feel tighter every where and can see it in my hips, hamstrings and torso. That's wild to me because I barely exercised throughout this challenge :( I can't imagine what my results would be if I did exercise regularly! I feel lighter, am sleeping better and my skin tone is brighter! I found out I'm very sensitive to gluten and dairy, which explains any time I feel bloated or heavy. In conclusion, I'm very happy!!
I bought a two-week supply of MNS Max-3 to keep up with everything for a bit more. I think I want to try MNS Max-E next...
I want to check back every month to keep track of my progress. I want this year to be truly dedicated to adjusting my eating habits to a gluten and dairy free diet and exercising 4-5 times per week.
Thank you for keeping up with me throughout The Challenge! This was the perfect push I needed to getting serious about my health! See you next month!

Day 24 - Happy Birthday, Chris Farley!

My day...

  • 7:45am: Spark, WP1
  • 8:15: Baked apple, berries, pineapple, turkey sausage, egg over medium, YP1
  • 10:30am: Apple, Clif Bar
  • 1pm: WP2
  • 1:30pm: Salad, YP2

  • 9am-5pm: work :)
  • 5:30pm-10pm: Driving to Slinger-dinger
  • Abs

My thoughts...

ITS THE FINAL DAY! Tomorrow, I'll be posting the final progress photos and information. I'm driving south to Slinger-dinger tonight after work. I hope that doesn't cramp my style too much! I bought a bunch of bananas (LITERALLY) and a couple bags of beef jerky to nourish me throughout the trip. I have some Spark left over too, so I'll be able to keep myself energized if need be. Today is Chris Farley's birthday!! I celebrate this holiday instead of Valentine's Day because its WAY more fun to celebrate a birthday than expect your significant other to surprise you with an unrealistic amount of surprises.

Anywho, I really love my new job, but I didnt realize how much more physically active my job was at Stucko's. I probably walked a couple of miles every shift, where at my new job, I'm sitting most the day. Therefore, I really REALLY need to run five days per week. Also, I found out why I've been bloated for the past couple of days: Clif Bars have A BUNCH of gluten I them. I messed up when I linked "wheat free" with "gluten free." I'm glad I caught these issues quickly so can start correcting them immediately. Im just sad that I wont look as jacked for my final progress pictures as I did on Wednesday morning! Ugh :( Well, I must remember, this challenge was the BEGINNING of my lifestyle change, not the end. So, even if im not exactly where I wanted to be NOW, The Challenge definitely set me on the right track! Having said that, I'm curious to see what tomorrow brings!

I received my Distributor Kit today! I have some samples of Spark and Slam if any of you would like to try one! I'm really excited to start hooking people up with AdvoCare products :) Let me know if you want anything! Here's a link to my site: https://www.advocare.com/130214024/

I have a frowny face by "nut chips" because my co-worker brought me these to try as part of my gluten and dairy-free diet. As I was eating them, I started to feel bloated. I found out one of the ingredients was butter :( The bloating went down after a few hours. Its wild how sensitive I truly am to dairy products. Now I know FOR SURE I need to keep away from these food groups!

My thoughts...

I didn't even realize it was day 20 already. Wild! I don't want to be done, haha! And because I don't want to be done, I became an AdvoCare Distributor today! So, if you want to try The 24-Day Challenge or an AdvoCare product, let me know! Click HERE to go to my AdvoCare web-page. I've already ordered more Spark (fruit punch) and another 14 days of the MNS Max-3 pack for me to start immediately after The Challenge is complete. I was tempted to try a different MNS Max kit (Max-E or Max-C), but Max-3 is working so well for me that I was afraid to switch over. Perhaps, when I'm done with this 14-day amount of product, I'll try a month's worth of Max-E.

Today was a super lazy day because it was my last day off of work before starting full-time at Harley-Davidson. I'm very excited! I hope all goes well this week as I adapt to this kick-ass industry and culture :) Wish me luck?

Good times.

I bought some pizza for my boyfriend today and I didn't even want any. It was almost unappealing to me. Usually, I'm all "I'M EATIN' THIS," but instead I was all "No thanks." For me, that's a big deal :) I'm pretty impressed with how much my eating habits have changed.

My thoughts...

My massage therapist is Bruce Kee and he rules. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a super relaxing but super deep-tissue massage. He also does cranial massaging which will literally put you to sleep. I fell asleep twice today. It was ridic. I've been noticing my skin being clearer, softer and brighter since starting The Challenge. I think its a combination of cutting out foods that irritated my system as well as adding important vitamins into my daily diet. If anyone is interested in trying any supplements, let me know and I'll order them for you :)

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

My thoughts...

This Challenge is starting to become a routine! I'm very used to taking the vitamins throughout the day as well as eating gluten and dairy free. I'm almost nervous to break these habits once The Challenge is officially done. I'm planning on becoming an AdvoCare distributor where I can easily buy products myself and put in orders for anyone else. So, if you're interested in trying The Challenge or an AdvoCare product, let me know and I'll put in an order! There was a gap in my eating this afternoon because I got held up in H&R Block's offices doing my tax returns... ugh.

  • 7:15pm: Apple, veggie straws and hummus
My thoughts...

Today was my first day at Harley-Davidson and it was amazing. The time flew by! I also had very level energy and never felt super hungry. They're super laid back here, so I'm allowed to eat at my desk. I also bought an adorable zip-up hoodie that I'm even more excited about. Good Lord, I hope this job is "it," because so far I LOVE IT :) Once again, I was not hungry today! I'm wondering if its the supplements I'm taking or  I've gotten so used to not starving that I don't have to eat as much. Either way, it doesn't bother me none! NIGHT.

Day 13

My day...

  • 9:30am: Spark, YP1
  • 10:30am: Meal Replacement Shake, WP1
  • 1:30pm: Veggie straws and garlic hummus
  • 4pm: YP2
  • 5pm: Peanut butter, WP2
  • 8:30pm: Salmon and avocado, Salad-baby spinach and romaine, Italian vinaigrette, baby carrots, brocolli, sweet pea pods, grape tomatoes
  • Superior Dome workout
    • 1 mile run
    • Lower body and core Pilates
My thoughts...

I realized I need to exercise first thing in the morning. Otherwise, I'll fill my day with other tasks and become "too busy" to go workout. I'm happy with the Superior Dome because a) its free, b) its hours are decent, and c) I can solely focus on body-weight exercises like running the track, running the bleachers, and doing Pilates. Whenever I'm in a gym, I'm too tempted by the weights so I revert back to squats, dead lifts, cleans and bench press. Those exercises are amazing, but I'm trying to stay away from weights for an entire year. I think that once I have adopted a healthy eating routine, I'll lift again. I was barely hungry all day, weird! Tomorrow is my first training day at Harley Davidson. I'm interested to see how often I'll get to eat or if I'll have to get used to eating a large breakfast and large lunch. Either way, I'm excited to learn my new job :)

Day 12 - HALFWAY!

My day...

  • 9:30am: Spark and YP1
  • 10:30am: Eggs over hard, WP1
  • 1pm: Meal Replacement Shake
  • 3pm: YP2
  • 4pm: Salad- romaine, onions, tomatoes, bacon, Italian vinaigrette, WP1
  • 6pm: Apple, raspberries and blueberries
  • 7pm-8pm: Superbowl Sausages (so many sausages!), salad- carrots, tomatoes, romaine, bacon, Italian vinaigrette
My thoughts...

I ate peanut butter around 11:30pm last night. I didn't record it in yesterday's blog because I wasn't near my computer. I also did 100 butterfly crunches before bed (lame :( ). My energy levels were very consistent all day and I had great focus.

For it being the halfway mark, I don't feel compelled to "chEAT" at all yet. I've been around pizza, cookies and Chai tea lattes and I wasn't tempted by any of 'em. SUCK IT, TREATS.

Even while watching the Superbaugh, I only feasted on a bunch of sausage and fresh veggies. Not bad for being the person who usually eats all of the chips and dip and cheesy potatoes in sight. However, I'm really sleepy from a long day of work and eating sausages. GOOD NIGHT.

Day 1 of MNS Max-3 Phase! Day 11 overall

AFTER HERBAL CLEANSE


Measurements: 34-26.5-38 [34-27-38]
Weight: 130lbs [134lbs]
WHR: .70 [.71]
  • Lost half an inch around my waist and have a flatter "belly." Not losing any boob or butt, YUUUSSS!
  • Lost 4lbs - I think all the weight-loss is from the inside... if that makes any sense. I pretty much didn't exercise at all and I still lost four pounds. I don't even lose that much when I regularly exercise, haha! DUMB! (A "good" dumb).
  • Lost .01 in WHR - still healthy, so that's good.



My day...
  • 11am: Spark and Yellow Pack #1 (YP1)
  • 12:15pm: White Pack #1 (WP1), Baked red delicious apple, grilled pineapple, eggs over easy
  • 2:45pm: Green pepper and hummus
  • 4pm: Yellow Pack #2 (YP2)
  • 4:30pm: White Pack #2 (WP2), Meal Replacement shake (yum!!!)
  • 6:30pm: Salmon, avocado and peas
  • 9:45pm: Golden delicious apple

My thoughts...

I'm very happy with my weight loss! I notice a huge change in my torso being flatter and less bloated feeling/looking. I think that's from removing dairy and gluten from my life along with the awesome Herbal Cleanse supplements working like a bunch of champs! I talked to Joe and he advised to still keep away from dairy and gluten. FAIR ENOUGH, COACH!  However, I'm going to re-introduce sweet potatoes, brown rice and veggie straws (minimally) into my life... I need me a starch.

(Why was the picture quality so crappy on the "before" pictures? VEIRD).

Let me explain what's in all of these color packs:
30MIN BEFORE BREAKFAST
Yellow Pack #1: Calcium Plus, ActoTherm and Probiotic Restore
  CalciumPlus:  "Calcium Plus delivers two types of highly absorbable calcium, combined with other minerals, vitamins and botanicals." Yay, bones!
  ActoTherm: "...a sustained-release to aid in preventing a spike and drop-off in energy throughout the day." So, I'm thinking it keeps my glucose levels balanced. Nice.
  Probiotic Restore: "...helps replenish normal beneficial intestinal microflora to support healthy immune and intestinal function, while aiding good digestion and enhancing weight management programs." I took this during the Herbal Cleanse phase as well.

WITH BREAKFAST
White Pack #1: CorePlex
  CorePlex: "...supports healthy bone structure and growth as well as provide optimum nutritional support for healthy muscle, connective tissue and skin." Yay, muscle tissue! Yay, flesh!

30MIN BEFORE LUNCH
Yellow Pack #2: Calcium Plus and BioTherm
BioTherm: "...combines oolong tea, effective botanicals and B vitamin, biotin, to support weight control." I love biotin, so I'm excited about this fella.

WITH LUNCH
White Pack #2: OmegaPlex and Amplify A.T.
OmegaPlex: "...help support cardiovascular health in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. These critically important oils even help regulate the body's inflammatory proceses, support healthy joints and are important for the maintenance of healthy skin." I've took this during the Herbal Cleanse phase as well.
Amplify A.T.: "...strengthening the immune system, maintaining healthy blood pressure levels already in the normal range and providing excellent nutrition for joint health and mobility... provides excellent support for skin too, by vitalizing the appearance of skin, helping to reduce the formation of wrinkles and maintaining healthy skin tone... reduce muscle fatigue and muscle damage while enhancing muscle recovery..." Sounds pretty badass!


All information was pulled directly from the AdvoCare site: LINK.

Day 10! The last day of the Herbal Cleanse phase.

My day...
  • 9am: Spark
  • 11am: Salmon, baked red delicious apple, blueberries and strawberries
  • 1pm: Cranberry nut peanut butter
  • 2:30pm: Probiotics
  • 3:30pm: Salad- romaine, bacon, tomoato, Italian vinaigrette
  • 5pm: Fiber drink
  • 8pm: Omega-3s, Chicken breast, coleslaw, carrots and celery, salad- romaine, tomato, onion and Italian vinaigrette
My thoughts...

I FINALLY GOT TO WORKOUT TODAY! I did interval training on the treadmill, working with incline, speed and side-running for thirty minutes. Then, I did lower body and core Pilates and stretching for another 30 minutes. I was definitely having some behavioral issues from not working out for a long time. 

All in all, I really liked the Herbal Cleanse phase. I really liked the Herbal Cleanse tablets I took before bed the first seven days. I have a feeling they aren't meant for every day use, but I'll talk to my distributor about that. I also liked the Fiber Drink because it suppressed my hunger for two to three hours. However, I want to find a liquid to mix it with to add a little more flavor (perhaps low-calorie Powerade?) Finally, I love Spark. I want to order buckets of this stuff so I can have more than one serving per day. Its super tasty and works really well.

I'm excited to start the max phase tomorrow! I'm very interested to see how the Meal Replacement shake tastes. I chose the Chocolate Mocha flavor to see if it would quench my cravings for the fun coffee I would get a couple times a week. I want to experiment with dairy and gluten products through this phase too. I want to introduce Greek Yogurt and Feta Cheese into my diet Saturday through Wednesday and see how I feel. Then I'll go back to dairy and gluten-free on Thursday and Friday. Next Saturday through Wednesday, I want to introduce Pita bread and my all-time favorite Snyder's pretzels and see how I feel. If I feel okay and still keep seeing results, I'll probably keep those four things in my diet at all times.

I'm excited to start the MNS-3 phase tomorrow! WEEEEEE.

My thoughts...

I NEED TO EXERCISE! I'm starting to have withdrawals from exercise. Its been more than a week since I've done it. That NEEDS to change. I'm notorious for exercising too much, so I'm going to try to go four times a week.  I had my first all-staff meeting at Harley Davidson and it made me SO excited to start working full-time!
