So, this week I've finally gotten back on board with exercise after too long a break! I've also started the Catalyst from Advocare once a day right now, 30 minutes before breakfast. My muscles are sore, but that means I'm working something! I got the workout calender from the Advocare Can You 24 website and I'm following it for the next three months! You also get to tailor beginner, intermediate, and advanced over the same DVDs. After the holiday I'm going to start a cleanse and up the Catalyst to twice a day to get the belly off!
Between now and the holiday, I'm going to do more research on pinterest and other online places to get recipes to give some variety to the diet!

Catalyst
So, I have learned a few lessons this month. First, don't do a challenge to get yourself vacation ready. It got me there, but then I slacked off because I was on vacation and undid whatever work I did do. Second, don't take more than one day off from working out, because next thing you know it's been over two weeks. Third, possibly the reason I didn't have as huge results as before isn't because I've lost weight already, but may be because when I started this journey over a year ago I was taking Catalyst and I stopped.
Catalyst is an advocare product that I'm told was developed to help the US Olympic Wrestling Team preserve muscle while trying to lose weight to get to a lower weight class. The idea is it protects the muscle from being used for energy while working out, hence the greater fat loss. So my newest plot to keep myself healthier, skinner and with more energy is to add Catalyst everyday to my routine, do the advocare Can you 24 DVDs per the Advocare Calender for the next few months (only do the treadmill when the thought of doing a DVD makes me feel like skipping all together), and do another Herbal Cleanse in a few weeks to help "reset" my diet. Advocare recommends the Herbal Cleanse every 3 months, which I wouldn't necessarily do except it really helps me get back on track to what I'm eating which tends to be every 3-4 months I notice I'm doing bad! :)
Also added some Grape Spark to my drinks- think Grape Kool-aid with a kick! So my three go-to Spark flavors are Fruit Punch, Grape and Mango Strawberry.
Time to get back on track!

Vacation
So, I am back from vacation and any progress I had made is gone! Oops. Didn't exercise at all except for walking around Disney and taking care of a sick little boy, and ate a ton of food, especially when we stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! Great food is worth it though, one of the reasons for living. So now I need to regroup and make a new plan to keep myself on the healthy track again! :) Talk to you when I have a plan!
