Day 2 & 3 of 24 day challenge

Okay, so yesterday was day 2 and not the best day, but don't let that be discouraging to you because it was not due to the AdvoCare.  It was actually unfortunate timing....I was hit with a stomach bug that was terrible and I'm still fighting it today.  My friend and I both had the unfortunate luck of traveling to Dallas and back on what we thought was going to be a fun day together that turned out to be a quiet & torturous time of "can't wait to get home!"  Still I managed to stay on the program, pretty easy actually when you feel like you can't eat or drink anything!  and now I've begun day 3 slowly sipping my Spark and meal replacement shake and appear to be gradually picking back up as the day goes on.  I did lose 7 lbs yesterday!  Not really the way I want to lose weight but hey, that's the only positive thing to the misery I went thru.  One thing I can tell you about these first 3 days is I really haven't had cravings like I normally do on diet programs and I know I shouldn't call this a diet program because the focus is more supposed to be the nutritional values you gain.  I've very easily stepped into to the first few days of this challenge without any mental frustrations.  My husband has had some Coke withdrawals because he loves his Cherry Coke but I'm not sure if that's easing up or not.  Since I was sick yesterday we haven't talked much so I'll update you on that later.  My coffee withdrawals haven't been that bad though.  I thought they would be much worse.  I've always been pretty good about drinking water where he hasn't so that is a new concept for him and I'm proud of him for being willing to add the water and remove the Coke.  At least for the 24 days!  We'll see what happens afterwards!  I've also purchased another product to try in conjuction with this called Joint ProMotion that I'm hoping will help with inflammation issues I'm having and pains in my knees and joints so I'll keep you posted on that as well.  I won't start taking that for a few days.  I think I'll wait till my stomach is back to normal.  More to come....be sure to check back in!
