Good day! How are you starting out your lil week? I have a very busy week ahead with visitors and my aunt’s funeral services and the IDEA conference. And today I’m headed to Knott’s Berry Farm for my brother’s birthday.
But before that I hit the road for a run. I did a short speed session. It’s good to cross that off the list in the beginning of the week. Plus, I didn’t have a ton of time to run today so that packs a lot into a little.
Post-run stretching with Vegas…
Breakfast was the usual – eggs and toast with almond butter and butter butter.
And I stole some of Ben’s pancakes since he put honey butter on them and they were magical.
24 Day Biggest Loser Challenge
I’ve decided I am going to join the 24 Day Challenge Mama Laughlin is hosting. The “Biggest Loser” gets $500 for losing the most percentage of weight.
I’m not super competitive so I am not looking to win (isn’t that weird to be such a not Type A person but I run so much and want to get faster??), but I’m looking to ‘get it together’ and would enjoy the company of some online friends and a little push via the herbal cleanse to help clean up my act a bit. I have a few trips lined up for August and would like to feel good in my clothes and bathing suit so I’m hoping this helps me take off a few pounds without making me crazy.
This 24 day challenge starts July 20th so I am able to enjoy some theme park treats today. #Boom (See: funnel cake)
The contest is…
You purchase the 24 Day Challenge Pack. It includes Spark, Herbal Cleanse, Shakes and OmegaPlex. Purchase includes access to the private Facebook group. For the first 10 days it’s about super clean eating there’s also a cleanse pack you take, then the next two weeks are about energy and appetite control supplements.
Mama Laughlin is going to share challenges and menu ideas and all that jazz via private FB group to help support and keep everyone motivated.
Full disclosure: I decided to become an Advocare distributor since I see myself using the products a lot in the future and several friends over the last few years have mentioned one or two of the items to me. You can purchase the 24 day challenge pack or the O2 supplement I mentioned the other day from those affiliate links, but it’s not the reason I signed up. Do your thing and ignore all of this if it’s not your jam.
Finally… SIMBA!
Would love to hear your thoughts on Advocare as you do the challenge! I’ve seen people with great success, but some of the product ingredients (artificial sweeteners, high caffeine levels, etc.) made me a little weary. I also found the challenge diet to be really difficult as I am vegetarian. A girl can only eat so many egg whites!!
Ben’s pancakes look yummylicious
I play a lot of crazy games with my dog and two cats but not Lion King specifically. Clearly I should try it!
Yes, I actually have been to Knotts Berry Farm but in like 1980 so I’m sure it’s changed a lot.
I like Advocare. I use the Spark daily but usually only use 1/3 or 1/2 scoop. It helps me drink more water, gives me some energy and also vitamin B12 which I need as a supplement since I’m plant based. I also sometimes use the O2 Gold. I have not tried any other products but everyone I know that uses them seems happy with them. Good luck with the challenge!
Thanks! Yeah, I feel like the fruit punch flavor is kinda strong and I might be able to use a little less. The mango one is perfection too.
Where are your shorts from? Love them!
Will you do a review of the Advocare products? I am so interested in the 24 day challenge but I am hesitant to buy it. I tried the 21 Day Fix with Beach Body and was not impressed so I worry about shelling out money for no results (I already eat fairly healthy and workout at least 5 days a week so I am really looking for a jump start to loose a few extra pounds that I can’t seem to shed). It is hard to get an honest review since most people are trying to sell the product!
My boyfriend plays lion king with our guinea pig every single time he gets put back into his cage. The poor thing HATES it, but it doesn’t matter!
Yeah, I totally will do a review. So far I like how the Spark and Peaches and Cream bar taste, but I really want to see how the challenge goes. It’s hard when you already are pretty healthy and active to get those last few off!
My golden retriever and border collie are a bit too heavy to play Simba with, but that doesn’t stop me from singing the “Circle of Life” to them.
Ha! I cannot imagine you trying to do that with them!
I actually think it is perfectly normal for a typically non-competitive person to want to get faster if they are runners. Running is a part of life that like any other part you want to improve on. Some want to improve in school, or improve an old recipe, or get better at whatever work said person does. It is natural to want to get better. Good luck with your speed.
I love to play Lion King with my dachshund Frida. She stares blankly into the air and tolerates it.
Funnel cake with Knott’s Boysenberry love.
THE END.
Have a great day! 🙂
Ha! You are too funny. My husky would disown me if I tried to simba him, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t considered it.
Have a great time at IDEA! I hope you write a recap on it. I’d love to go someday.
My cats probably just assume that we live in the Lion King, because any time they won’t leave me alone I end up going all “Nahhh-se-when-yah” on their furry little butts.
