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

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

Today, Day 5 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge, has been…odd. The girls and I built a smoothie based on AdvoCare’s Muscle Gain Vanilla Protein. It is low carb (2-3g carb & 12g protein per scoop) which gave us more wiggle room on added fruit since we felt like a banana berry smoothie sounded good. We did three scoops of protein, 1 small banana, 1.25 C frozen mixed berries, 1/2 C coconut milk and ice. It was delish and hit the spot. I made refrigerator pickles last weekend so I had one of those, later a handful of grapes and then there were gluten free lemon scones. Mia made them and I did my parental job and had one. Coconut and tapioca flours made for some really fluffy treats that will definitely be made again! It ain’t rocket surgery! #fitfamily #fitmom #healthylife #blog #advocare #24daychallenge #munsonfamily #cleaneating #cleaneating #bettereveryday #glutenfree #smoothie

Day 4 of our AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge went like this…Thursday’s are another early-ish start to the gym work. It’s not crazy like it used to be (hello, 5am!) but it’s an odd time for me to eat as I do not like to eat before being in the heat so the day is started with a probiotic and Pink Lemonade Spark as I head out the door. Fiber drink when I get home followed up with eggs with sautéed onions and bell peppers, tomatoes and guacamole. For lunch today, Alyx and I weren’t really hungry because our breakfast wasn’t until almost noon so we made a fluffed up Meal Replacement Shake – 1 Iced Lemon Cake Shake with added coconut milk, frozen mixed berries with 2 Mandarin Orange Sparks added (1 for each of us) plus two handfuls of ice. Blend it in the Vitamix, split between the two of us and done! Easy! For dinner, Matt made a veggie and ground turkey with ground beef pasta sauce. Zucchini, broccoli, yellow squash and onions make this sauce well rounded. No pasta, no bread. Super filling and there are left overs for tomorrow. I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge is built around clean eating and simplicity. I love systems and theirs is simple. Any day is a good day to start treating yourself right. I’d love for you to join us! #itsnotthathard #whattoeat #bettereveryday #cleaneating #fitover40 #munsonfamily #24daychallenge #advocare #blog #healthylife #fitmom #fitfamily

The start of day 3 of our 24 Day Challenge. Probiotics upon waking, fiber drink just before breakfast and then there’s this. Matt makes eggs for the four of us in one big pan then divvies up based on the person. Our girls are full grown adult size with one wanting to maintain and one needing to put some weight on. My goal is to lean up a bit but more importantly to get much cleaner in my diet as I’ve let things slide too much during stress. I get approx. 2.5 eggs with today’s being made with pico de gallo from last night’s dinner and a quarter of an apple. Let’s do this! #fitlife #easyfood #bettereveryday #spark #cleaneating #munsonfamily #healthylife #advocare #24daychallenge #blog

So here is my full day 2 food. I had things to do this morning and the girls were up to their eyeballs in school by the time I got home from work so we did a meal replacement shake which consisted of 2 chocolate meal replacement shake packs, 1 Tbsp almond butter, 1/2 C coconut milk and ice. Fast and easy!
Lunch was left overs from last night’s dinner – chicken breast and cauliflower plus some garlic and chipotle mashed sweet potatoes from Sunday’s dinner.
Dinner was home created chicken tacos with corn tortillas, rotisserie chicken meat, guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce and a teeny sprinkling of shredded cheese.
I only had 1 Spark today and this afternoon I had a Biocharge. Tons of water (should say some liquid measurement but I don’t feel like it so…tons) and a sampling of watermelon and it’s off to bed with an herbal cleans and more water. Nite! #blog #advocare #24daychallenge #nutrition #healthylife #munsonfamily #fitover40 #fitlife #spark #cleaneating #noexcuses #bettereveryday #easyfood #mom

Yumola! Came home from morning class and was SUPER snacky! Came up with this. Mashed banana, almond butter, handful of almonds and half a handful of pecans, chopped those and added coconut. Sliced up a Granny Smith Apple and go! This is the last bite. I’m trying to refrain from getting another two apples and finishing off the dip. #cleaneating #goodnitboring #healthylife #paleo #yum #eatrealfood #blog
