24 Days

Yesterday I started the Advocare 24 day challenge.  I've done it before back in 2013, but I am 30 days out from Hawaii so I figured this was perfect timing to do again.

The day starts off with probiotics and a fiber drink.  I mix the fiber drink in with Spark and chug it.  I learned that from past experience...chug or regret. 

It's basically supplements and a clean, healthy diet.  I'm working in the Catalyst this time which is a blend of branch chain amino acids and helps maintain muscle mass during exercise. 

My twice a day Spark and pre-workout L Arginine Extreme isn't anything new.  There's a bit more to my routine overall.  Here is how Day 1 and Day 2 have felt:

Day 1:  Chug the hell out of the fiber drink...extremely difficult to get all the food in for the day.  Biggest thing I noticed was I am depressed in a weird, hard to explain why, way. 

Day 2:  Feeling good...again extremely difficult to get in all the food I need and really have to force myself to eat.  I have no problem getting all my water in. Can't seem to get enough water.  Had a very good leg workout at the gym...much more energy than normal.  Sometimes I try to get the moves I don't like doing in front of other people done before the after work crowd shows up but today I gave no effs and walked around the gym like I owned it.  Maybe it was just all my energy needing to be expended. Definitely no cravings.  Depression/mood swings/anxiety in full swing...like ridiculous.  Not sure if this is due to something I added to the mix or because I ran out of Clear mood last week...I usually take that daily.  Or it could just be because people are jerks.   

I'll keep an update on how the next 22 days go.
