Day One!

Yesterday, I started my 24 day Challenge. I have been wanting to try this out for sometime now. Now that my sister is engaged I am more motivated for this lifestyle change than ever before.

My sister, mom, grandma, and I all decided to do this together. We decided to piece the challenge together instead of getting the pre-bundled kit. This way we could get the canister of spark instead of 2-14 pack boxes. (Only a few dollars more and you get so much more)

So let me tell you about Day 1...

I woke up at 8:30. The first thing you are suppose to do is drink your first spark of the day 30 minutes before you drink breakfast. It taste so good!

30 minutes later you drink your fiber drink and eat breakfast. I'm not going to lie...I was very scared of the fiber drink. I had heard horror stories about how bad it was. I made sure to mix it EXTRA well. I began to drink and honestly, it wasn't bad! The only trouble I had was I tried to drink to much at one time and got a little choked up. After your drink the fiber drink you are suppose to drink 8 ounces of water...Well I didn't know about this step but I will for sure be doing it today!


BREAKFAST:
I had two eggs (with a little bit of salsa) and half a banana. Doesn't sound like much  but after I had downed 2 cups of drinks so close to each other I was full.

1ST SNACK:
You can have a snack in between breakfast and lunch but I wasn't hungry again until lunch!

LUNCH:
I made tuna salad. I used a mushed avocado instead of mayo. It was SO GOOD!



I just made little wraps out of spinach and had a side of sautéed veggies! YUM!


I should of had another Spark at this point...Lesson learned! I will for sure be having another today.

2ND SNACK:
I had 1/4 cup of raw unsalted frozen almonds. This is one of my favorite snacks even before the challenge! 

DINNER:
I had Turkey Meatloaf, Spinach, and Mashed Cauliflower! DELISH!

(P.S. I forgot to take a picture of my plate...This is my dad's. My portions were much smaller and I was full)

If you are interested in making either the Meatloaf or Cauliflower the recipes we used are below!


Over all the meal was good. The meatloaf was a little sweet but I still thought it was good! 

3RD SNACK:
Before bed I had an apple with a little bit of all natural peanut butter. I must say I for sure like my regular peanut butter better but it was still good! 


WORKOUT:
So let me start by saying before I went to the gym I HAD to have another Spark. So about 30 minutes before I worked out I had a Spark and 2 Catalyst. 

Once I was at the gym I did 5 miles on the bike, 1 mile on the treadmill, and about 30 minutes of different weight machines. It was a good workout but my knee is feeling it today! 


Overall, my first day went well! 
But let me tell you the fiber drink works! 
I'm not going to lie...I was in the bathroom a lot! Between the fiber drink and all the water I drank! 

I was going to do ahead and post my before pictures but I think I will wait until day 25! 

I was told it is best to weight yourself on Day 1, Day 11, and Day 25! I am not sure if I will weight myself on Day 11 or not yet. I guess we will see when the time comes! 


My sister and I started a fitness page on Facebook. 

Feel free to join here

We would love to have you. We have different themes for everyday! 

I think that is all I have for now!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Much love,
Hannah
