Day One

Hey guys!  Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog.  This blog will cover my journey through a 24 day challenge using Advocare products.  I am a distributor but I promise to give you an honest play by play so you can decide if this program is for you or not. 

I heard about this program from a buddy of mine who has done a phenomenal job using this program.  He went from 303 pounds to 249 in a little over three months.  That is insane! We are built alike, he is broad shouldered and carries himself well.  I am bigger framed and taller, but we share the same attributes.  When I saw him for the first time after he began this program I was amazed. He looked awesome. So he told me what he was doing and I had to try it. 

My biggest fear is loosing muscle that I have worked so hard to attain. I do not want to lose strength or muscle endurance because it takes me so long to earn it (due to rhabdomyolysis which is for another blog...lol).  But at this point I'm ready to shed the belly and show off the muscle that I have gained over the years.  Currently I'm 6'2 327 pounds, I bench press over 350 lbs (haven't maxed in a while), squat 405 for reps, leg press 1100 for reps, and run a 9 minute mile.  All of these stats need to improve, especially my mile time.

So now that I have laid some of the ground work here is where I am.  This morning I drank the Fiber Drink along with a bottle of water.  I consider a bottle of water to be a liter of water, just FYI.  I ate half an orange and half an apple about thirty minutes later. I then went to the gym for my shoulders and triceps workout which was awesome.  About 15 minutes before I got to the gym I took three Catalyst and three more after working out.  I came home and ate three eggs and a half cup of plain oatmeal.  Today my energy is very high and I don't really feel hungry.  Usually by this time I'm starving but this may change over the next few days as I reduce my caloric intake.  Tonight I will take the Herbal Cleanse pills and report back tomorrow how they affect me.  So far so good!
