Day 9 and still loving it!!!!!

I haven't reported in the last few days since this is the first week of school for the kiddos. It's been a great week and also a very trying week. I miss my kids former elementary school and my daughters friends as she is having a difficult week. I have been tested several times this week, but am extremely happy to report, I haven't strayed once yet on the Challenge. We are exploring several new meal idea's with meat and veggies. I have introduced my hubs to eggplant, squash, snow peas and several other things.

I am EXTREMELY happy to report that as of day 8 I have lost 7 lbs and a total of 3 inches from my waist. I couldn't believe when I got on the scales because I didn't expect to see results so soon. Tomorrow is my final day of the initial 10 days of the total challenge. From what I have read so far, the true results phase is the final 14 days of the challenge.

I wanted to highlight the benefits that I have seen so far besides the initial weight loss. My favorite aspect so far is my energy level. The Spark is great for energy. I have more energy now that I have had in many years drinking coffee and several diet cokes a day. The second aspect is my mental focus, this was something I didn't expect because I thought I had plenty of mental focus. As a part of my job, many times I doze off or just become bored or not focused. Now, I feel great and can stay focused all day long. Another aspect is my decrease in stress. Normally on a weekend when we have all 5 children running around the house, my stress level is above and beyond the normal means. This last time, even though I had only been on day 2 of the cleanse, I felt much more calm and relaxed.

As I am seeing results, I am so excited to start sharing the products of Advocare with anyone and everyone!!!!
