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

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
