Just an update


Today is challenge day 6 for me. I am half way through he cleans….WOOT WOOT!!! It really isn’t that bad. I just kind of miss my cheese lol. Everything is looking good and I am moving in the right directions. Hubby is on day 4 of his challenge but today was the first day he didn’t have to take the fiber drink. For any of you who have down the cleans phase of the AdvoCare 24-day challenge knows why this is just a great day. The fiber drink tastes good, don’t get me wrong, but the texture of it can be a little be…well lets just say thick. Its one of those products that you benefits out weigh the texture so you mix it up and chug it so that you can just get it over with. I have actually seen some people who let it sit a few min (this makes it very thick) and then eat it with a spoon. I think the hubby is going to try that one. Any way as of today I am down 5lbs and 7 total inches off my body. The hubby on the other hand is down 6.5 lbs and feeling good. We haven’t checked him for inches lost yet but will tomorrow. Well I just wanted to update everyone on our progress and I will continue to do this through out the month. And again if any of you want to know more about how to do this challenge comment and I’ll get you the info. Thanks so much for reading.

4 Pounds!!!!!!! And hubby is doing it too!


So here I am coming to the end of cleans day 3. I stepped on the scale this morning before I ate breakfast and I was down 4 lbs! I’m excited to measure on Wednesday to see if I’m down any inches. AdvoCare really does work. I am so much more motivated now then I was on Saturday lol.

Today my hubby started his 24-day challenge. It was a bit rocky at first because he was freaking out about the things he could and couldn’t eat. He is doing better now that I showed him how good some of the healthy foods can be. Anyway I though I would share his measurements too so we can both show you how we have changed at the end of the challenge.

Chest............................43 1/2 Inches                    
Waist ...........................44 ¾ Inches
Hips.............................45 Inches
Left thigh.....................25 1/4 Inches
Right thigh...................25 1/4 Inches
Upper arm left..............14 1/4 Inches
Upper arm right............14 1/4 Inches
Weight...........................250 Lbs

AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge


Well AF came and went and I am currently on like CD 14 or 16 or something. I kinda lost track seeing how we are not really trying. I took the Lydia Pinkham to see if it could help regulate my cycle. And I toke the last of that today. Never got a positive OPK so I guess it didn’t really work. Oh well on to the next experiment lol.
I recently started selling AdvoCare. I am in love with the Spark and the Slam products that they have. I am staring their 24-day challenge tomorrow. It starts off with a 10 day cleans and then for the other 14 days you focus on eating right and staying healthy. My goal is to lose around 10 lbs or 10 inches. Right now this is my current standings before
stating day one:



Chest............................53 ¼ Inches                    
Waist ...........................57 ¾ Inches
Hips.............................55 Inches
Left thigh.....................30 Inches
Right thigh...................33 Inches
Upper arm left..............17 Inches
Upper arm right............18 Inches
Weight..........................308 Lbs

Now please don’t make fun or anything like that. Rude comments will be deleted. It is taking a lot for me to post that on this blog but mostly I feel safe because I’m trying to stay anonymous. I will not be posting my before photos until I have after photos to post with them. I will keep you all updated as I go along. I am checking progress on day 5 day 10 day (end of cleanse phase) day 17 and day 24. I am very optimistic about this so I hope I have good results to share with you all! My other hopes are that by dropping some healthy weight by the time we start TTC again I will have an easier time!

If interested in joining me on my 24-day challenge or getting involved in AdvoCare message me and I'll get you the info!

What is it with men!?!


            We started Provera on Monday. It was CD39 and I took a home pregnancy test (HPT) and it was negative. That’s what I expected so I stated the Provera. Like I said in the last post my temps were not very promising. We are going on to an UN RX cycle. I am going to start taking Lydia Pinkham three times a day from CD1 till I ovulate or the bottle is gone what ever works. For some reason they say that the black cosh in the LP can make you have a girl but I really don’t care the gender of the baby! I just want to have another baby.
            The hubby and I got into a huge fight on Sunday night about adoption. I really feel very strongly in my heart that I need to adopt a baby. I have prayed about it and I feel that it is what we need to do. Only thing is that my husband is against it all of a sudden. He actually told me that he would not love the child because it wouldn’t be his. It would be like someone else’s child came to live with us. It broke my heart. He is an amazing father to our daughter and I know he would be a great one to any child that we brought into our family. I guess I will just have to let him stew on it for a while. That is usually what I end up doing and things usually end up in my favor!
