Before anyone gets their panties in a twist over the name, I didn’t name it Man Cereal but I love the name …

Blood donation around here earns you gluten free brownies. They are light, fluffy and aMAZing! I owe several recipes from these past two weeks and will add these to the list. They do NOT taste like a sacrifice nor are they filled with different things to avoid in order to be ‘healthy’. #glutenfree #grainfree #healthylife #cleaneating #24daychallenge #advocare #fitover40 #cleandessert #glutenfreedessert #grainfreedessert #yum #paleo #chocolate #brownies #blog

We’re in the second part of the 24 Day Challenge now. Today is day 14 and aside from food variances or leanness goals every day looks much like this. Catalyst and MNS-3 are my go to regulars for general health and well being. I view supplements as insurance against disease or illness. AdvoCare has s brilliant product in the MNS systems! The basics of multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, top quality EFAs, probiotics for continued gut health (your first line of defense and wellness) are all laid out for you in an easy to manage strip. Some vitamins and minerals need to be consumed on an empty stomach in order to be optimally absorbers. Some need food and fat. Do you know which is which and when to take what? The MNS system helps you out. Catalyst is an amino acid blend. I’ll write about that product separately. Regarding diet (food in general) from here to the end of the Challenge, the goal is to stay clean. Eggs, bacon, guacamole for breakfast as often as is possible. Lunch and dinner are a basic formula of meat plus as many vegetables as possible plus healthy fat. Anyone who says paleo eating is low/no carb is doing it wrong. #fitmom #munsonfamily #fitlife #fitover40 #advocare #24daychallenge #cleaneating #healthylife #glutenfree #grainfree #paleo #positivechanges #blog

Our inaugural Texas Painstorm Event lived up to its name! We’re excited to help build on the founding concept that was CrossFit when we found it…camaraderie through struggle and improving oneself. There was no single ‘winner’ today but everyone worked hard, did their best and supported each other. (Some of us even quit CrossFit a couple of times during that 20 minute AMRAP but we started again after a couple of breaths.) The folks who came out from @crossfitwrath CrossFit Champions and Breakthrough Fitness as well as CrossFit 1836 and CrossFit Redefined and our very own Julie representing @creeksidecrossfit all worked hard and it was cool to be a part of it! #blog #nolimits #fitover40 #fitmom #cantstopme #capable #healthylife #munsonfamily #bettereveryday

When you’re on the roof again you might be over your fear of falling off it OR you might be a DIYer OR you might be a ‘whatever-it-takes-to-get-results’ person OR you might be all of the above.

I didn’t finish off my day yesterday with what was the end of the first 10 days of our 24 Day Challenge. The main focus of the first 10 days is gut health as everything else regarding your health builds off of how healthy your gut is. Damaged gut lining can let in the wrong things, not absorb the right things, not protect you from whatever bug is going around at the moment and even set your body up to fight itself! So the first 10 days is about super simple eating, probiotics and herbal cleanse to help you’ve at your best for the next 14 days. Day 10 had yellow meat watermelon, gluten free muffins (coconut and tapioca flours) and roast with green beans for dinner. Not kidding on how easy the food should be during this stretch. Good meats, vegetables galore, some fruits, healthy fat. Done. It’s not rocket surgery. #fitover40 #bettereveryday #blog #fitmom #advocare #24daychallenge #glutenfree #grainfree #cleaneating #cleansnack #fitfood #nutrition #healthylife #healthyliving

Day 10 is off to a great start! Personal training done, conversation with one kid (the other is still asleep) and plans for the day down on paper. Old school. In the way of the 24 Day Challenge, everything started with probiotics and Cataylst (amino acid blend) which is followed later by fiber drink and an excellent breakfast made by the Man @m4munson! Eggs with salsa, bacon and half an apple. Let’s roll, Wednesday! #notricks #simplehealth #easyfood #motivation #guthealth #24daychallenge #advocare #fitover40 #fitlife #breakfast #paleo #blog

Day 9 of my 24 Day Challenge went a little sideways. I left the house at 7:30, got home by 11:40 but still had another hour before I could head inside to eat…breakfast. Yes, breakfast after noon. So probiotics when I got up but fiber drink didn’t happen until about 12:45 with half a small grapefruit and about 30 minutes later the last of the meat sauce from last week. Dinner was spicy chicken (I’ll get the recipe posted, Shannan!), string beans and a small-ish salad. No my food wasn’t evenly spaced out over the course of the day. Did I get it all done? Yes. Did I have issues with energy today due to this unplanned intermittent fasting? Nope. No dragging, no cloudy thinking. I was firing on all cylinders. A Spark in the morning (Green Apple) and a Spark in the afternoon (Pink Lemonade) plus clean eating and all is rocking! Tomorrow starts considerably earlier so there’s no telling when I’ll eat breakfast but it’s all good! One more day is left on the first part – the gut health phase – of the Challenge. #blog #paleo #grainfree #glutenfree #fitlife #fitover40 #advocare #24daychallenge #guthealth #munsonfamily #motivation #easyfood #simplehealth #notricks
