DAY 9!!!

I can't believe I'm almost done with the herbal cleanse! Today was pretty good eating wise, though I'll say I was VERY tempted! I started my day off w/ my spark mixed with my fiber drink. I took Catalyst and drank a meal replacement shake before I went to my favorite step class. I did pretty good in step class, though I had to walk out to go to the ladies' room just b/c of all the liquid I had consumed beforehand-lol.

For lunch, I had another meal replacement shake because I took my son to a bouncy place, so the shake was a good meal to go. :) The popcorn smell there was very tempting at first, but I survived w/o giving in to the temptation!

When I got home, I ate a few nut thins, then rested because it's so hot out there that it wipes me out no matter how much energy I get from my Advocare products. I just needed to cool down.

I thought I'd eat veggie soup for lunch, but I actually never really got hungry again til 4:30 or so. I ate a much smaller bowl of veggie soup then, since I'd be having dinner soon. Then my son had a coupon for a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut that he earned in the summer reading program. I decided to take him to go get it since he was getting tired of chicken too. LOL. Oh my gosh, the smell of that pizza and the sight of it was really, really hard. But luckily, he was very protective of his free pizza that he wouldn't even let me have the last bite of a piece that he didn't want anymore of, because he wanted to save it for tomorrow! :)

I've made it this far, so I'm not going to give in to any temptation. Tonight's also going to be hard because my husband is going to cook my homemade granola bars tonight so I have them for my trip to my mom's. The smell of them baking is going to be a huge temptation. I usually love to eat one when they're warm and fresh from the oven.

Please let me know if you'd like to learn more about Advocare and the 24 day challenge, if you've never done it! I would love to help you!
