Advocare

The other night I looked at my calendar and realized that I only have three weeks until the bachelorette party. I don’t know why I wasn't aware of this, but it definitely freaked me out! All I could think about is how my body is not where I want it to be yet. I know how to eat healthy, but I am also realistic and know how hard it is to actually stick to it so I started brainstorming for ideas of how I could really buckle down with my diet for the remaining three weeks. My boyfriend’s mom came into town this weekend and gave me a great idea, actually it may not work at all, but I’m determined to find out! She sells Advocare products, which is a collection of health products, and one of the products is a meal replacement shake. She told me to replace two of my meals a day, whether it is breakfast and lunch, or breakfast and dinner. I decided to try this because it is so easy. I am always rushing out the door in the morning and then trying to figure out what I’m going to eat for dinner so this solution seemed perfect. I have no idea if this is even a healthy way to get in better shape, but hopefully it is effective. I have listed some key benefits of the shakes below, but I know that there are probably some negatives as well that the website left out. I started my new routine yesterday and it was a success. I drank a shake for breakfast and dinner, had a sandwich for lunch, and a few snacks in between. Overall, it was pretty easy and I have no complaints. I don’t know if this will give me the results I’m looking for but hopefully in three weeks I’ll be writing a new post about how it did!
