My fear of starting the Advocare 24 Day Challenge… and how I got over it

 

If you follow me on any of my social media outlets then you know I’m doing the Advocare 24 Day Challenge.  I decided a few weeks ago to do the challenge, but it sat at my home for about a week and a half before I cracked it open. I was nervous and scared to commit to 24 days of very strict clean eating and daily exercise.

After your body get used to eating like crap for so long, your mind starts racing with doubt and discouraging thoughts. That’s exactly what I was doing for a good 4 days when I received the package in the mail.

I knew I had to complete the challenge since I spent the money on it, and I wanted to do it because I want to be healthy. For so long I’ve let fear of commitment control me in my everyday life. I honestly don’t know where this fear comes from, but I know it has controlled so many aspects of my life and I’m OVER IT!!!

Gradually I started eating healthier . Making little changes here and there, and really preparing myself for this complete lifestyle change. I knew it was going to be tough, but I think preparing myself and not just diving in head first fired me up to start my 24 Day Challenge!

I’m now on day 6 and I feel amazing!!!  I have a crazy amount of energy and what I call the “fat fog” is gone. I can speak clearer, think clearer, and I can already tell a difference in how my clothes are fitting! Holla!!!I’m not complaining about that!!

This a picture of my progress on day 4

Seriously, I’m not doing this to get skinny. Although, that will be an added bonus. I’m doing this because there is a history of heart disease in my family and a recent event really shook me up about my health. I was walking through Lowes and had a heart palpitation and it really scared me. I was with my husband and we had just eaten lunch, and I played it off to be heart-burn, but then I happened again. Y’all that scared me!! As I sit here writing this I think, how did I let this happen? I’m writing about a heart palpitation and 31 years old?! How did I let myself get here?

Anyway,  You can’t live in the past. I’m here and all I can do is, do  the work to get it off! Right?!

I’m excited for this journey. I know I’ve said I was going to do it before, but this time is different. I can tell I’m focused on the prize and that prize is being healthy for my husband, kids, and most importantly MYSELF!!!

I hope you enjoyed this post. I think I’m going to start blogging about this journey.

Oh, how fun will it be to go into any store and be able to wear the clothes there?!

I can’t wait, friends!
