Challenge Complete

     10 days of strict eating (yes I cheated a little), 6 days of a horrible sludgy fiber drink in the AM, 7 nights of horse pills, 7 mornings of tiny capsules, plus all the spark I drank (replaces coffee and soda), all the walking and biking.... I won the 10 day cleanse challenge against 7 other people! (I think it was 7, may have been 8.) I lost 2" off my thighs, I can see and feel a change on my backside as well haha, and I can see a difference in my face but my stomach, not so much. My stomach has a lot of work to go yet though. I need to do more for that area, and eating healthier and smaller meals really isn't going to do much for it for some reason... just need to put extra work into it is all.
     Thank you to my big brother for motivating me, caring about my health and worrying about me enough to provide me with the opportunity to try this out, also for providing me with a menu plan and the food for the menu. I couldn't have done it without any of it. I am super excited to continue my journey down this road. I am going to expand my menu a little bit because I really love my Special K cereal's, but those are healthy, so no worries haha. I'm sure I will have other things as well, but nothing like what I was doing before!!
     I am really enjoying my walking, I walk to Christina's in the mornings, and I am going to continue that until it is too cold to do so. I won't have a car anyhow, so it'll be easy to do haha. I will be walking to church on Sunday's plus Wednesday evenings for youth group. I need to find a partner for evening walking, maybe some afternoon walking as well. Hopefully Michelle will be up for it soon. Maybe I can get Christina to take some walks with me. I know how much exercise helps with depression, I just have to motivate her. I know it would help her sleep at night also.
     I pray I come up with the money SOON in order to purchase more products from AdvoCare to keep going in THAT direction. I mean, yes there is plenty I can do at home and on my own. BUT-- with having quit smoking there are some products that will help me keep going. They will also help me continue to boost my system in the right direction. In 3 months I am going to try another cleanse, but I don't know if I want to try the 24 day or just do the 10 day... we shall see.
