Day 1 of my 24 Day Challenge! After being essentially bedridden for the past 7 months with Mononucleosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I'm stoked to be able to finally get up and get moving. The problem is that I've put on 15 pounds in the last 7 months of no activity and poor eating habits consisting of anything quick and/or sweet. Enter the 24 Day Challenge... Breakfast: Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake with Soy "peanut butter" and unsweetened Soy milk. Lunch: Hummus and Carrots with grapes Snacks: Chocolate Protein powder with soy milk, apple Dinner: Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Meatballs Workout: Stair Climber for 10 minutes, various upper body machines in my boyfriend's crowded gym 🙄 Today's takeaways: EAT MORE! My metabolism is so slow now I am having a hard time eating enough. My lunch was pretty puny so I really need to work on that tomorrow. I still don't have much energy but forcing myself to get up and get moving does make me feel better. Going back to the doctor tomorrow to check up on the mono!

Not Your Average Direct Saleswoman

For my first post I just had to throw out a little disclaimer. My intentions for this blog are not to bombard people with sale pitches or try to get people to buy my products. I started this blog for two reasons: accountability and information. Accountability- my diet generally consists of very poor choices. I needed a place to hold myself accountable as I re-start my journey towards healthy habits. Information- I recently discovered Senegence when I bought a LipSense mystery bag from a Facebook friend trying to build a business. One color and I was hooked. I love how long it lasts and how good it is for your lips. Once I signed up to become a distributor, I started looking into some of their other skincare products. I never really cared or put forth much effort into taking care of my skin, but the more I discover the more in love with their products I become. Anyway, I wanted to include this in my Tumblr because I am learning more about what it means to take care of my body as a whole- my internal health AND skin... and let's face it, who doesn't want to look good? Basically, the point of this was to say that I'm giving this Tumblr thing a try to learn more and share more about two things I love helping me on a journey to a better me. I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge today, so I'll be posting hopefully every day or so with updates on how I'm doing!
