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

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

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

Oh man! I do very much needed a snack. Ok. I didn’t really need a snack but that’s what my head said so I went with a half cup of grapes and some pecans. #easyfood #bettereveryday #cleaneating #fitlife #fitover40 #munsonfamily #24daychallenge #advocare #wellness #snack #blog

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
