So in the spirit of being honest and COMPLETELY see through... Today I wished I hadn't made that stupid statement!!!
This morning I woke up late...AGAIN! (if you knew me you would know why this is so ridiculous, I get up early EVERY morning) In my defense I have been sick for 2 weeks and am just now feeling better and my daughter Aubrey has been sick for a week. When she is sick she wakes up multiple times in the middle of the night and it is like having a new born all over again. I seriously need to get adjusted so my every blog doesn't start out with...I woke up late...that is such a dumb way to start a blog...again.

I ran to the kitchen and made coffee. This was done simply out of habit. I haven't told you yet, but I thought I might relinquish my daily coffee consumption for this 24 days, you know just to see how it went. All I know is that it seemed like a good idea to break another bad habit.
What you need to understand is that yesterday (Monday) was the first day I have taken Garron to school. He could ride the bus which would require him to get up an hour earlier but for his sake, our neighbor has taken him with her boys since she drops hers off at school. WELL this lady moved over the weekend. Thus the new routine of driving him to school. Since I woke up late I told Garron to see if he could catch a ride with (a different neighbor) so I wouldn't have to be rushed to make him tardy. You know my back up plan neighbor. The good news here is that even my back up plan has failed because she decide to start making her kids ride the bus unbeknownst to me!
I am telling you this sorted story so you will understand why things didn't work out so well for me, that's all.

The next few minutes were quite frantic! It was some kind of hazy whirlwind of Garron (my 10 year old) putting on Preston's shoes (on the wrong feet) me putting clothes on Aubrey, Aubrey in the car seat, the car seat in the car...and true story because I didn't want to waste the coffee...into a to-go cup it went. (Calories approx 50) Not wasting would truly make my mom proud! (WHY IS MY MOM IN EVERY BLOG SO FAR???) I have serious issues.
Moving on, late to school we went. I dropped the babies off at daycare which is conveniently located right in front of Garron's school.
Back to the house I went to actually get ready and you know...fix my hair and take off the t-shirt I had slept in the night before (so embarrassing, in my head I am like stop telling people this stuff). Somewhere in there I had called Aubrey's doctor to try and get her an appointment for this afternoon. They were booked, so I continued getting ready which included packing a gym bag since I clearly wasn't going to make it this morning. This may turn out better? Seems like I would then go to work ready so no outfit mishaps and work out after. We'll see.
Meanwhile back at the story I get a call from her doctor and they tell me they can get her in in 30 minutes (her doctor is at least 20 minutes away). Whatever I took it! Like a maniac I rushed to get out the door to pick Aubrey back up from day care and zoom us over to the doctor (to which we were also late).
While at the doctor's office "we" ate about 1/2 of an apple. Calories 33ish Oh how I wish I could tell you we at this because of our new commitment to health however that would be a lie. We chose an apple for breakfast because it is what I found in the bottom of my purse. Please know I too find myself utterly ridiculous! Absurdly outrageous even, yet I tell the truth.
Back to daycare, back by my house...
AND YOU THOUGHT I was going to say forgetting my Advocare...and that assumption would be INCORRECT! I woke up late two mornings in row there is NO WAY I was going to forget the very reason I am blogging two days in a row too!!! I can be retarded people but I am also very determined. I will complete this 24 day challenge before the New Year!!! GOODNESS! So I put a meal replacement shake (berry) and my spark (fruit punch) in the same shaker cup and slammed it down on my way to work. Calories 265
YUMMY!

Sometime in all that mess I also remembered to drink my Advocare Fiber (Peaches and Cream Flavored) drink 70 Calories
Only 1 bottle of water so far :( and it was only 11oz
Only 1 bottle of water so far :( and it was only 11oz
I did also take 2 Advocare Catalyst(s), Catalysteses, Catalysti, ???
I took 1 Advocare Catalyst 2 times, but all at once.

As I sit at work, typing this out I'm thinking ...man tomorrow...gonna be fantastic! My boss then walks up to me and asks if I can be to work early tomorrow! !! BWAAHAHAHA! If only he knew, if only he were a blog reader... if only...Cross your fingers people cause tomorrow is going to be amazing!
COMPLETED another 11 oz bottle of water (these are all I have at work, I bought them for my Spark!)
After work I took an Advocare SLAM 10 Calories (before my workout)
COMPLETED a FULL Adult size bottle of water
Today is leg day. So I only did 5 min Cardio just to warm up.
Work Out
Standing Leg Curl 10x10 both sets
Seated Leg Curl 10x12 both sets
Seated Leg Calf Raises 95x12 Set 1 95x20 Set 2 - cause I don't think that was enough weight but it seemed easier to just do it more times than to adjust the weight.
Seated Leg Press 95x12 on both sets
Hip Adduction 10x60 Set 1 10x50 set 2 *no clue as to what this was really "working out"
Low Back Extensions 105x15 both sets
GLUTE (this is the name that was on the machine) 12x30 both sets
Leg Extension 45x12 both sets
Squats 15x10 both sets
COMPLETED another bottle of water after my workout
This workout was accomplished with my friend, cousin and fellow Advocare Distributor/Advisor Angela Webster. We went to her gym and had to learn these machines and it still seemed to go by surprisingly fast. I'm sure this is due in part to the fact that we were probably talking as much as we were lifting...I'm just say'n.
Snack (after the gym because I was starving) 5 Wheat Ritz Crackers Calories 70
Dinner I simply at a sandwich
I did however try a new bread! EXCITING!!! Well wheat can be dry to begin with and surely after a few days it can leave something to be desired so I tried Sara Lee - Soft & Smooth, Made With Whole Grain White Bread, 2 slices Calories 120
Sun Dried tomato Turkey (from the Deli) 2 slices Calories 100
Monterrey Jack Cheese Calories 70
Mustard, Lettuce and Tomato sprinkled with garlic salt Calories (too few to count) FREE!!!
Dinner total calories 290
With this meal I took Advocare OmegaPlex x2 pills
One More bottle of water
Mmmm good but not very much so I surely need to eat all my calories...right? So I went a head and made a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats Calories190 with 2% Milk Calories 140. Oh yes people I counted out 21 biscuits ....LOL
Calorie Total 330
Bedtime - Another bottle of water and my Herbal Cleanse caplets x3
Today I finally got the MyFitnessPal app to download on my phone (I've used this one before) so I didn't have to manually keep up with adding and google each item...I know that's so much work! It will also keep track of my water and my exercise so I like it.
