The hardest part of the 24 day challenge, is going to be changing my diet. I live on chicken nuggets, pizzas, and anything quick that I can just microwave or stick on a plate without thinking. So I've found quite a few recipes that I would like to try, and hopefully will love. Here are some healthy alternatives to things I eat, but with a healthier twist.

Clean Eating Chicken Soup

Ingredients: 
-1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil.
-1 Large Onion, Chopped.
-2 Large Leeks, Chopped.
-6 Small Carrots, Peeled and Sliced.
-2 Parsnip, Peeled and Sliced.
-4 Cups, No Sugar Added Chicken Broth.
-4 Cups of Water.
-4 Cups of Raw Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces.
-1 Tsp. Garlic Powder.
-1 Tbsp. Margoram

Directions:

1. Use a non-stick pan, saute' the onions, leeks, carrots, and parsnips in the olive oil until leeks and onions wilt. (5-7) minutes.

2. Transfer your vegetables to a large soup pot and add your broth and water. Cook for half an hour.

3. Add chicken breast and cook for another half an hour.

Well..I'm embarrassed.

If you've known me for awhile, you know I was never overly skinny, but I was definitely not fat. In high school, and until I got pregnant, I weighed anywhere from 140-150, which sadly back then I thought was fat. When I got pregnant, I started out being at 145, and by the time she was born, I weighed about 210. Unlike a lot of women, I never lost any of that weight, probably due to the amount of pain I was in for 2 months after she was born, and after that...well...I got in the habit of just being lazy. I would sit all day, watch TV all day. I never thought I'd get up to 240 pounds. I'm so embarrassed to the point, I don't want people to see me this way. I feel hideous, and that effects my mood, my relationships with people, even my relationships with my husband and daughter.

Well...
That's all about to change!
I'm finally doing something about it.

One of my friends sent me a couple of samples of Advocare's "Spark", and as much as I didn't believe that any of these "Weight loss" or energy products could work, it gave me a lot more energy, and a couple hours later, I walked a mile (Up and down hills), which is a big deal for me. So, after listening to different peoples stories, and seeing that these Advocare products really DO work, I have decided to join the advocare team. Starting Monday, I will be doing the 24 day challenge, which will help me to start loosing weight, and gain more energy to do the things I need and want to do.

And on top of that...

I will be helping other people get more energy and get to their goal weight.
