Day 1 - 24 Day Chellenge

Monday April 9, 2012	Day 1
Weight*	142 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage	27.0 %
BMI (optional)	24.9 in.
Chest	34 in.
Tricep*	10.5 in.
Waist	27.5 in
Buttox	38 in.
Thigh*	20 in.
Calf*	10 in.

*Measurements & Weight taken first thing in the morning. Thigh, Calf & Tricep measurements all done "half way" between joints (i.e. ankle to knee, knee to hip, elbow to shoulder).

To measure my BF% and BMI I used this Omron Fat Loss Monitor - This is very useful during weight loss because you want to be able to determine if you are losing FAT. That is the problem I have had in the past. Last year I lost 20 lbs but I did not build the lean muscle I wanted and I did not burn enough fat off my body which caused me to gain 10-12 lbs of it back.



I started this entry with all my measurements & weight information. Oy! It is hard to post but I want to help and inspire whoever I can so I am being transparent here. You can read more about the details of the challenge here : http://housewifewithalife.blogspot.com/2012/04/24-day-challenge.html - It tells you about the cleanse and some of the products.

I have to say eating this way (see below) isn't foreign to me. This is a very "clean" way of eating and how I typically eat and cook - however there is far more protein, and the supplements are something I have never done. The Fiber drink this morning tasted fine but it was very thick and hard to stomach - I held my nose and downed it as quickly as I could. I also have added the OmegaPlex (omega3 supplements) into my routine.

This program uses Advocare products to in addition to diet and exercise. Currently in Days 1 - 10 I am using a Cleanse and also beginning to take an Omega - 3 vitamin.
