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
The finish of Day 8 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge was crockpot roast with sweet potatoes and onions. Matt prepped the veggies on Sunday, Alyx set the whole thing up in the crockpot Monday morning. Dinner was ready when I got home. 4 of us ate and there are left overs for lunches. Easy peasy! #advocare #easyfood #24daychallenge #cleaneating #healthylife #fitover40 #fitlife #munsonfamily #glutenfree #grainfree #paleo #blog
Me and a giant Spark at AdvoCare’s 2015 Success School in Arlington, TX this past Saturday. Didn’t see the Pink Lemonade one or I’d have swiped that bad boy! #lovespark #advocare #healthylife #fitover40 #fitlife #tastyvitamins #blog
So Alyx, bless her, gets an attack of the sweet tooth now and then and today was a great day because I was also hit with a a sweet tooth attack! These little gems were made by combining melted chocolate chips, almond butter, finely shredded (no sugar added) coconut and chocolate Muscle Gain protein powder. Mix, scoop, refrigerate. Done. #advocare #24daychallenge #fitlife #fitover40 #fitmom #healthylife #cleaneating #grainfree #cleansnack #snacks #blog
And Day 7 of our most recent AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge is done! We started the day with some weight lifting, then a 15-ish minute workout and followed it up with a custom shake that Matt mixed up with Muscle Gain, Post Workout Recovery, Fiber Drink, mixed berries, coconut milk and ice. Split amongst the four of us (varying for size) and we were covered for breakfast. Then Matt and I were off to work on a gym install for a couple of hours. Back home for lunch we had soft tacos in corn tortillas with ground meat he made a couple of days ago and lettuce, guacamole and salsa. All around this is super simple food with no added sugars, flavoring, preservatives or extra scary stuff. The goal with dinner was to use the Brussels Sprouts and otherwise empty out the fridge. That there are left overs for Matt to take to lunch tomorrow is a big bonus. Dinner ended up having the Brussels Sprouts, chicken breast, rotisserie chicken and carrots all dumped in together with garlic pepper and some other seasoning blends. It was tasty and simple and uses up those last bits here and there rather than throw them away. Eating clean does not have to be expensive! The Challenge systematizes and takes the confusion out of eating. Here’s the other thing that doing a 24 Day Challenge does for you…it keeps you on track for 24 Days! This weekend we were on the road and out of our routine. We would have LOVED to have done our normal and said road food doesn’t count but we are on a Challenge. Good stuff! #blog #grainfree #paleo #positivechanges #cleaneating #healthylife #fitmom #fitover40 #fitlife #24daychallenge #advocare
Winnah…winnah…chicken dinnah! Day 6 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge finished with Alyx’s spicy baked chicken, carrots with butter, garlic and pepper and a simple salad of mixed greens, tomatoes and guacamole. I know folks misunderstand paleo as low carb but we eat more carbs on a challenge than off. (Hint: fruits and veggies are carbs) Herbal detox tablets at bedtime and done. #24daychallenge #advocare #munsonfamily #fitlife #fitover40 #fitmom #healthylife #cleaneating #positivechanges #paleo #glutenfree #grainfree #blog
Lunch on Day 6 is interesting. There wasn’t a ‘perfect’ opportunity for the fiber drink this morning so we bumped it out to the lunch time shake option. No matter what, we got it all done. #healthylife #advocare #fitover40 #blog #fitmom #cleaneating #24daychallenge
Starting Day 6 of my 24 Day Challenge at a hotel. Probiotics still first thing for that gut health. Not the tastiest breakfast but clean and fast. The carb/sugary options are amazing at hotel included breakfast bars. Cereals, muffins, high sugar yogurts, bagels and toast…just add any of these for an insulin spike and immediate stop to body fat burning. #24daychallenge #bettereveryday #cleaneating #fitmom #blog #fitover40 #advocare #roadfood #healthylife
Food on the road staying solid on the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge…BBQ with sauces on the side. Most definitely awesome! The Dallas/Ft. Worth area has In & Out Burgers which do a protein style bunless burger. Done. #glutenfree #bettereveryday #cleaneating #munsonfamily #24daychallenge #advocare #blog #fitmom #fitover40 #healthylife #roadfood
