Day 2 & 3/24 of Advocare challenge

I have to admit…I was a little scared of the weekend and how I was going to manage with my Advocare challenge and all that I had going on. 

 

DAY 2

Day 2 was Saturday, and I popped out of bed at 5am to get a run in before my 13teen had to go to her volleyball tournament.  If you know tournaments, they are usually all day events.  So I packed my bags with my healthy foods and snacks.  I was tempted a couple of times to dip into the big bag of pretzels, but I realized I was doing it out of habit and nerves.  Those girls have some real skill and the matches get so competitive! 

The day was super productive and I never once had a lag in my energy like I usually get on a weekend.  Keeping my blood sugar stabilized was a good part of that, I’m sure.  The hubs and I had a date night and we went out to dinner.  Our options here in this smaller town are kind of limited, but I ordered to the best of my ability.  Our waitress was super cool in letting me be picky about my order.  I ordered a grilled chicken breast with just the veggies and no oil, butter, or salt.  It really was delicious!  Oh and I did eat one small steak fry with ranch off of my hubs’ plate.  I didn’t feel deprived at all!

DAY 3

Day 3….was a little different…Sunday.  We went to bed rather late on Saturday and I didn’t even sleep all the way to 7am.  I was looking forward to sleeping in too!  So, I was dragging.  We went to Church and afterwards, made our usual stop at Freddies which includes a trip to Peets.  This time, I just got a peppermint tea, no milk or sugar.  I had some issues with energy that day so the Advocare does not make up for a lack of sleep.  Still….it was a better Sunday than I’ve had compared to other ones where you feel like you need a nap or you’re going to die!  Oh and I made some delicious fish for myself for dinner.  It was so yummy that my 15teen said, “That smells sooo good!” (And she wasn’t being sarcastic!) My hubs took a bite and said he would eat it too!

PS I can’t wait to share with you what is happening on the scale!

Now for some really awesome pictures taken by a really awesome photographer!!  Oooh so impressive!

Horrible lighting when I’m trying to show my 13teen that I’m wearing the new neon yellow/greenish sweater she helped me pick out.  I suck at this game!  My date night outfit…I was wearing pants.  Promise.

That’s Izzy.  Inside a bag, in the middle of a Christmas wreath.  I still have decorations waiting to get put away.  And a pot that needs a plant, by the looks of it.  Yeah, I killed what was inside.  My 15teen and I were playing Just Dance 4 on the Wii and well, Izzy was not impressed.

Thanks for viewing my pictures.  I know that’s why you read my blog!
