Well, assuming that miss Joy receives my order early enough today and comes in and see's me :D, I am starting my AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge TOMORROW! EEK!! So, I had to put together a shopping list. Yesterday I outlined my "plan" for the next 10 days, and today I am going to show you the shopping list (sure hope I didn't forget anything!)

That doesn't seem too terrible for 10 days worth of food ... for myself :-/ I'll have to continue supplementing food for my family too, but they're pretty easy :) 

I had a calorie intake goal the last 3 days of 1,200 calories. I have to admit, that I haven't done the best (1,200 calories is HARD to stay at!). 

Day 1 (sunday) I over consumed 7 calories (intake 1,755)

Day 2 (monday) I over consumed 873 calories (dinner with the husband) (intake 2,196)

Day 3 (tuesday) I over consumed 392 calories (1,592)

Now remember, that I have a 1,200 calorie goal INCLUDING exercise that I do! So if I burn 300 calories exercising, I need to consume 1,500 calories of food. However, 1,500-1,750 is NOT a bad caloric intake, especially when the recommended for a woman is 2,000, I live a lightly active life style, and the foods that I am consuming are fruits, vegetables, and protein for the most part. 

I feel better, if nothing else. I'm not gross and bloated all day, I am drinking TONS of water, and I have energy (without needing caffeine!)

Speaking of which ... It's time to SPARK UP ;-) (thanks again Joy) and drink another bottle of water, and get my ass workin'!!!

:) See ya on the flip side of skinny!!
