Day 20 - Just 4 Days To Go

I can not believe that I am on day 20 already.  I must say that while I have had my share of weak moments and longings for Doritos and sugar, I couldn't be happier that I took this AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge.  I feel like I have found my groove and I am back in control of my nutrition.  Honestly, I was not doing that on my own.  I needed something to force me back into a healthy, balanced mindset.  I will admit that it has been a challenge, especially on the weekends.  But, had I not taken this leap, I would still be giving it the old "I will start tomorrow" business.

I know that I talk about the AdvoCare products that I use (now and have used for the last few years), but not sure that I do the best job explaining their benefits. I mean most of the time I am too busy sharing what I ate during the day or what recipe I may have severely messed up. I do feel like these products deserve a little time in the spotlight. 

The other day, I saw an AdvoCare spot on Facebook that quickly described many of the products that I talk about and love.  One of my favorite products is called Catalyst.  I have used Catalyst for the past few years, as a supplement to support my muscles.  I love to run (like Forest Gump love to run) and can honestly say that I feel a difference when I use Catalyst. 

I love to write stories about funny things that happen, but when it comes to product education, I am super boring.  I would start off by talking about the benefits of the fiber drink and end up telling you that I was stalking my teenager on Twitter and accidentally retweeted his Tweet.  See, I am not good.  So, with that being said, I thought that I would let the professionals do the important part and that I would share their information with you.  So, in case you wanted a quick overview about some of these products that I throw into my blog...here you go.

My AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge ends this Thursday. I know much of my success has been doing this challenge with a group of friends.  If you are interested in joining the next group on April 7th, read on...
