Day 8, still going great.... cheesy I know!

All these vitamins have got me thirsty, so not only am I drinking a lot more water, I am also getting exercise, by getting up and going to pee frequently.

The healthy eating part is not as hard as I thought it would be, but I prepared myself. I got a bunch of fresh fruits, veggies (which are not always easy to find, or cheap in this town) and eggs, and prepared a weeks worth at a time.

Today I had hard boiled eggs and apples for breakfast, along with my Mango Strawberry Spark (second favorite so far) and the dreaded Fiber Drink. In my experience, anything high in "fiber" tastes terrible, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying! The Fiber Drink that comes along with the cleanse is actually not too terrible tasting, its the texture that weirds me out. If you don't drink it fast enough, it's like drinking cold lemon flavored grits. Buuuut there are only 6 Fiber Drink days total and only 2 more left to go, so I think I will survive.

This was my breakfast today, if I needed a little more, I would have probably added oatmeal.

Lunch will be leftover veggies, quinoa and chicken that we had for dinner the other night. I will spare you a picture, leftovers are generally not photogenic anyways.

As I mentioned before, getting up and going to the bathroom has been most of my exercise, oh and volleyball on Thursday nights. Not that I don't have the energy lately or anything, but if you love going to the gym as much as I do, you understand. There is always something "more important" to do, like catching up on Bates Motel, because we had to first catch up on Vikings! I am honestly going to try and make it there more often, I will keep you updated on how that goes. My sister's friend wrote her up a workout plan that she is going to share with me, so I am going to give that a shot. If anyone else is interested in it let me know.

Until next time!

Starting a little late....

My name is Suzanne, and I am new to this whole blogging thing.

Here is me with a fish I caught last summer with my dad and brother, yay! for the awesome weather we had, and fingers crossed this year will be the same, if not better.

I'm starting a little late in the challenge, but here goes... I started this challenge because if you are anything like me, getting out of bed in the morning is the worst part of the day. Once I am up, I'm up, but my absolute favorite place in the world is under my comforter, with Winnie, my 6 lb Maltese/Poodle fur baby. He loves it just as much as I do, and conveniently enough for him, he gets to enjoy it all day while I am at work.

Anyways, so in hopes of making it easier to drag my bum out of bed I am partaking in the AdvoCare 24 day challenge, which consists of an herbal cleanse, energy drink, which is delicious by the way, meal replacement shakes, and a plethora of vitamins and supplements all while eating healthy. Today marks day 6 on my 24 day challenge and overall I feel great. I can already feel my system detoxing from all the bad things I've been putting into my body. Yesterday I made oatmeal cookies for my boyfriend Don,

Don and I last winter at the Dan Moller Cabin on Douglas Island.

who, by the way, is not convinced I can actually commit and follow through with this thing, one more reason for me to give it 100%, and if coincidentally he gains a few lbs through my baked goods I may convince him to give it a try too. While Don was out, I cheated a little and had one, and I kid you not, almost instantly I got a headache and my stomach hurt, that means, no more cookies (or sugar) for at least the next 18 days! (which is probably for the best anyways)

So far, getting up in the morning has been getting easier and I look forward to having my Spark first thing (Fruit Punch is my favorite) I'm awake and have energy that usually lasts way beyond lunch.

Stay tuned for more stories about my journey!
