Day 4

Okay, It's only day 4 of this challenge and I'm a very skeptical person but I must say I am feeling very positive!!  I woke up this morning even after having the stomach bug for at least 24 hrs and felt refreshed and ready to go for the first time in a long time.  I truly feel that was because I continued my liquids (AdvoCare Spark & Meal Replacement Shakes).  There was no way with the nausea I had that I could eat solids so normally I would have turned to water and crackers to put something on my stomach.  I must say when I was at my worst that is all I really could do, but on day two when I could ease in to other fluids I started drinking my Spark again and easing into the shakes slowly.  I feel like they helped my body get the vitamins & nutrients and therefore my strength back that I had lost and made me feel so much better on day 3 than I normally would have.  My neck pain was still there and pretty bad but that's another battle in itself, but after staying up till after midnight last night working and forgetting to take my normal prescription meds that I usually have to have to sleep and to prevent constant headaches I have felt great all day minus the constant neck pain.  Those that know me well know that story and know why AdvoCare may have little ability to relieve that pain but God only knows.  We will continue to stay in prayer for God to work his miracles in that area and if he chooses to help me find relief thru AdvoCare then even better!  I can't believe it's 930pm and I'm still awake and functioning properly.  I've usually had to take what my husband has now begun calling my "stupid pills" because they make me so forgetful and really just plain stupid and by now I'd be a zombie.  I'm actually sitting up and participating in normal family life!  Loving it!! My food cravings are still under control and for me that's a giant achievement in itself.  I'm not even wanting that late night giant snack!  Yeah sure, anybody could talk themselves into anything, but this stuff is really helping me control myself and it's not requiring me to take more prescription drugs, or do drastic surgery, and I'm learning to eat healthy and what supplements I am using are all natural and good for me!!
