Holidays are coming up, and you know what that means... FOOD!! Lots of it too. Let's face it. If we aren't looking to lose weight we surely don't want to gain it!! Maybe we're looking to lose weight, maybe we aren't but we could all stand to be a little healthier! If you want to get healthier, why not take the DROP A PUMPKIN CHALLENGE.

Don't know what the DROP A PUMPKIN CHALLENGE is? It's a 24 Day Holiday themed weight loss Challenge. Most pumpkins weigh between 10 and 20 pounds, so why not drop a pumpkin?

 

Still not sure what the 24 day challenge can do for you? I've had a friend that lost 14 pounds taking the 24 Day Challenge, I myself have lost over 17 pounds taking AdvoCare products, and just look at all of these people!!

 

 

I know I've had success and there are many others out there that's had success. This is about getting healthier guys. If you don't need to lose weight but want to get healthy, AdvoCare has something for everybody.

At the start of the summer, I had a workout goal and a weight loss goal. For the last month I started picking up overtime at work and had to prepare the kids to start school. So without the workout, I had no weight loss. I also started slackin on the good eating. I was afraid I had put the weight back on but I am glad to say that I hadn't.

I kept busy and was always up and moving, trying to spend more time with my kids and rearrange some things around the house along with getting rid of what we don't need. I had been eating more and not so great things at times. The main point is that I didn't over eat and I didn't stop moving.

For getting back into the workout and weight loss game, I have much more time since the boys are in school, YAY-YEAH! I went back to the basic plan of the fat smash diet, although I like to start with the 2nd phase and hover in it for as long as possible. I'm stepping up my workout by doing one of my favorite workout DVDs, Can You 24 by AdvoCare, AND taking a 2 mile walk. I'm going to see what 2 weeks do then revise my goals from there.

As most of you know, I had recently started INSANITY. I made it to the last week and a half then started picking up overtime at work. Since I had been doing overtime and was very busy with a cramped schedule, I wanted to still have the time for my kids, I gave up the workout routine because it was taking too long. Don't worry though, the time spent with my kids was either swimming or bike riding!

So even though I was still getting exercise, I was not getting a workout to tone my muscles. I didn't have the time or energy to do INSANITY with all of the extra hours put into being awake, so I went back to my AdvoCare workout series: Can You 24.

The main reason I chose this one, is because I used it a couple of times before and knew it is only 24 minutes long. The reason I had only used it a couple of times, was because I didn't think it did much and I thought it was boring. Now, after having a heart rate monitor and having done INSANITY, I definitely appreciate it more!

Let me explain the AdvoCare workout series. There are 2 DVDs. Each one has SCULPT, SHRED, MELT, and CORE STRETCH. There is DVD 1 and 2. Between the 2 DVDs there are 6 different workouts and 2 stretches. On each video, there is a color strip on the count down timer for beginner, intermediate, and expert. These exercises only take 24 minutes each.

The first time I did this, I maybe could make it to the end of the intermediate timer and I was slow at the exercises. This is why I felt the workout didn't do much. After having done INSANITY, I thought to myself that there is no way that this DVD would compare so I better go with the intermediate workout. 

It wasn't hard, but it did push me. It went quick so I could have more time for other necessities, which was lovely. And I wasn't in horrible pain after I was done. After 25 minutes I burned 322 calories which makes the AdvoCare workout series very comparable to INSANITY. With insanity, I typically burnt 700-850 in about twice as long. With this I was very satisfied because I figured I'd only be burning around 200 calories.

I've changed my opinion on the AdvoCare workout series. I thought it was good at first but after a few exercises I couldn't stay with it because I started to dislike it. After having done INSANITY which I really did like, I started having no time for it. Many people don't stay with INSANITY because its not for them. INSANITY is very intense and is definitely not for those who are not already in shape. The AdvoCare workout series can be used by anybody even if this is the first time you've ever worked out and allows room for growth.

As I woke up this morning wondering what I wanted for breakfast, I realized something. I was feeling a bit too lazy to want to make anything. I wasn't feeling a bowl of cereal and I was craving sweet so I figured I'd go with dessert for breakfast. If you're using healthy versions of the ingredients it isn't all bad, is it?

Well I decided on something quick and easy so I went for Greek yogurt cookie dough. It's high in protein and lower in carbs. I know breakfast should be higher in carbohydrates to fuel you but this is what I wanted DAMNIT! 

If you're having a sweet craving this is a good snack to go to and with the high protein content this would make a great after workout snack. 

Here's how to make the Greek yogurt cookie dough

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup plain non fat Greek yogurt

1 TBSP natural peanut butter

1 TBSP honey

Vanilla

1 TBSP dark chocolate chips

Throw all of the ingredients into a cup and mix with a fork.

And keep mixing!

There you go, done in no time! And it only has 275 calories. ENJOY!!

I saw this recipe on Pinterest last night before bed and when I was wondering what I should make for breakfast this is what came to mind. My boys didn't like it but I thought it was AMAZING!!

This actually works out great for a super sweet snack but I put some in my oatmeal for breakfast and it was the best.

I altered the recipe a bit to use less oil and honey so it would have less calories. The batch I made up can serve 3 if used for a snack or 6 if used to go along with something, such as cereal, yogurt or ice cream topping. Mmmmm ice cream....

Ingredients:

1.5 TBSP coconut oil (you can substitute whatever oil you like, I just happened to use coconut oil)

1.5 TBSP honey

Cinnamon

3 bananas

Slice the bananas into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices. The thinner they are the wimpier they become, so you really don't want them too thin. 

Put the oil in your pan, or part of the oil if only part of your bananas fit. Arrange the bananas on the pan and let them fry for 1-2 minutes. 

Flip the bananas and let them cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add a little water (1-2 TBSP) to the honey and drizzle over the bananas until the water cooks out. Add the cinnamon when finished.

FRICKIN' DELICOUS!!

Eating clean? Trying to cut the bad carbs but can't get over that pancake craving? These clean protein filled pancakes will hit the spot. I either eat them plain, with a  small bit of honey, or my own home made date syrup!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup of quick oats

1/4 cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 banana

2 egg whites

Cinnamon

I use my 3 cup food processor to whirl all of the ingredients together. But first thing's first. Put the oatmeal in the processor alone to make a fine oat flour. Add the rest of the ingredients until mixed evenly. Cook like you would any other pancake. If the batter seems too thick, add more banana or yogurt. If the batter seems too thin, add more oat flour. Enjoy with a bit of honey and a refreshing glass of skim milk and you have a well balanced meal!

Earlier this week, I got the luxury of having a little mishap bumper bender at work and was granted a 5 shift suspension from work. Well my parents had already left for Tennessee with my kids so I figured I would tag along. I had one major dilemma, though. I had just recently started INSANITY and I didn't want to be one week in and completely void that week of hard work. Well I thought about it and told myself that I would just double up on my exercises and do 2 a days until I caught up.

Well upon returning from my lovely vacation, I was really dreading a weigh in knowing I really didn't eat like crap but I didn't eat clean at all. I had cheese burgers, pizza or ice cream for one meal each day. All my meals were super-sized restaurant portions. I came back and when I stepped on the scale to find that I still lost 2.2 pounds! I was super excited.

The next morning is when I got back into my workout routine. I had taken 5 days off of exercising and I was dreading having to re-build any muscle or endurance that I had not been using. Much to my surprise, I started off easy and refrained from overworking myself and still got an awesome workout. Happy to say that I burnt 647 calories in 40 minutes. 

Now I was happy that I got back in to INSANITY with ease but still I am shocked that I lost 2.2 pounds without keeping routine. My only real consistency is the Fibrotrim and Omegaplex I have been taking.
