Advocare - 24 Day Challenge

I got my package today, and I'm super excited to start tomorrow! I've already stocked my fridge with yummy, healthy food. :)  My plan is to blog each day of this journey. I have a long way to go, and I hope to gain readers that will help me stay motivated!

Tomorrow starts the 10 Day Cleanse Phase. I'll take my measurements and weight in the morning. Keep checking back to see my results!

A little bit about me...

This was my junior year. I'm the one in the middle.

 This is me (and my HOT husband) PrePregnancy 2010

This is me now, April 2012

I am a 27 year old stay-at-home mom.  I have been married to the LOVE of my life for 6 years, and we have a beautiful daughter, Trinity.  I gained 60 pounds while pregnant with her, and unfortunately she didn't quite weigh 60 pounds...7 lbs. 14oz. to be exact. I'm not sure what went wrong. I've always been a healthy eater, and I didn't overindulge while I was pregnant. Well, that's in the past and I can't go back, so I just have to look forward.

I've always been a healthy average weight, so being overweight has affected almost every part of my life for the worse. I've had issues with postpartum depression; none of my pre--pregnancy clothes fit, and I refuse to buy a new wardrobe of clothes in sizes I NEVER thought I'd wear; I have NO energy; I don't feel pretty anymore; I hide in pictures because I can't stand to see myself. Don't get me wrong, I was never SKINNY, and I don't ever want to be.  I'm just not happy with myself the way I am now, and if you read some of my previous blogs, you'll see that I've made multiple attempts to lose weight in the past year.  I'm fed up with being UNhappy with myself! I CAN & I WILL lose this weight! I believe Advocare's products will help jump-start my metabolism, so that I can feel beautiful, again.  Feel free to comment and share your weight loss successes/failures/frustrations. I'd love to hear from you!
