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!
