Here we go! Day 1 of the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge!

This is Day 1 of  the AdvoCare Cleanse Phase, getting rid of toxins in my body and cleaning out the bad bacteria in my gut.
So far I got up at 3 am to go check on a mare that was gonna foal, she did.  We got there to a happy healthy colt.  What a cutie! Some pictures are on my Facebook page.
I had my fiber drink when I got up, I got peaches and cream this time, not bad, I like the flavor of the other better, still good though.  I haven't eaten anything yet but am getting very hungry.  I'm going to go see what I can dig up that will be healthy for this morning.  Probably a meal replacement shake (MRS) and a banana.
1 Berry MRS and 1 Banana for breakfast
No Snacks, packed a box after I got my duff off the computer chair.  Got the utilities switched over to the new house starting this week, as we'll be in it come Saturday night.  Figuring out I need Spark...BADLY!
Lunch about 16 oz of spark (my usual, mandarin orange) over a large glass full of ice and a lean cuisine philly sandwich.  I was going to take my Thermo Plus but I remembered I'm on the first 10 days and shouldn't take anything else other than the MRS and the Spark.  *sigh* For me, ordering from AdvoCare is like going to Walmart, so many things I decide I need while I'm 'shopping'.  lol!
Afternoon plan is to pack and move the kitchen before tonight's appointments, Branden starts vocal lessons tonight, I have to do chores, take him out to see the foal.  First though I'm going to order Spark and Catalyst (I think someone is going to buy mine, I can never keep anything handy for me it seems!)
I moved a few things over to the new place, if you haven't figured it out already I'm taking 5 and sitting down to write this as I go today.  Not all days will be like this, but if I don't I'll forget!
I had 2 glasses of water and ice so far (I'm an ice eater...bad for the teeth I know).  No clue what size but they are BIG.
I'm very proud of myself today too.  I've been a smoker for 21 years off and on.  (more on than off)  I've tried to quit over and over again.  I'm taking chantix to help but I've gone since 6 am this morning without a smoke and still feeling WONDERFUL, I'm not crabby!  *knock on wood*  I'm too busy and want to feel healthy to be a smoker.  It stinks, I smell it, there are times that the smoke makes ME gag.  It is time.  So just a heads up as I know some of you *cough Becky cough* will root me on with that, I do appreciate it!  However it is easier if I do NOT talk about it.  I can 'ignore' the yearnings much easier.  I know you are thrilled as well as I am that I'm quitting (another reason for the challenge for me, flush all that nasty stuff out!).  hmmm I'm getting hungry I think I'm gonna go munch on my freeze dried Mangos and pack a few more boxes.  I can NOT wait to get out of this house!  The mice got ANOTHER brand new loaf of bread this morning. GRRRR
Snack at 3 pm Freeze Dried Mangos from Trader Joe's (thanks Mom!), 1 bag is 1 serving, total of 190 calories, 0 fat calories.  Bag size is 1.7 oz but I never eat the whole thing at once, I'll eat a few then eat a few more later... you get the idea.  I'm also drinking an Oasis from AdvoCare, it will help me calm those urges...
Supper is going to be chicken breast, boneless skinless, and I'm not sure what else yet, maybe just a salad.
Nope no salad, I got ambitious and made Tuscan Chicken with Penne Pasta *whole wheat* and steamed broccoli.  NUMMY!  About 300 calories per serving with the Chicken.  Oh and the rest of my Mangos are sitting next to my new unused today coffee pot. LOL  I only had a few of them when I decided to make supper.

MAN Charter is being a PILL tonight!  Ok here we go, I had 2 bottles of water and my Herbal Cleanse pills just now.  We got out to do chores late and Kristen met us there, she grained all the horses for me, which was nice.  I had to give a few some shavings, feed hay and that was about it.  Then we went out to see the colt again and so Branden could see him. So cute!  Anyway, that is it for my long first day on the cleanse.  It wouldn't have been so long had I gotten a good nights sleep last night but I went out to see the colt instead. Tonight I will. :)

Congrats on the thing that must not be named... ;) Probably for the best not to have bread in the house anyways, during the 24 days for you. But I'm sure that the kiddo would have wanted it. What flavor canisters? I've got fruit punch & pink lemonade here unopened. I know you'll do a great job & moving is getting in some exercise.
