B and I got our act together and went to the grocery store and picked up our supplies for the Advocare 24-Day Challenge, so we are starting TOMORROW! Hopefully this helps with anyone following along and is confused about what to eat, what to take, etc. Â I’m going to have a post that I update at the end of every night which has our meals for the deal, Advocare products used, exercise completed and how we felt that day.
I totally believe that the most important part of the Challenge is the prep. If you aren’t committed and prepared to start, it’s probably not going to work out! It’s better to start a day or two late in order to give yourself time to shop and prep some items than it is to start on time and not be ready! Â I really think that not having good foods at my finger tips is what gets me. Â I should shop like this every time I go grocery shopping. Â Every time.
I try to store all of my fruits and veggies in my Tupperware Fridgesmart Containers. Â These are the old ones, but they work just as good as the new ones, so my new ones are still in the packages. Â Anyway, these make your fruits and vegetables last longer. Â The LAST thing you want to happen is to have your stuff go bad ;(. Â I’ll take out what we need for the day and put those in their own containers so I can grab them when I need them and let the rest stay in these! Â I know some people use (and swear by) green bags too.
A well stocked fruit bowl is another must. Â If you have a pile of fruit RIGHT THERE, it’s going to make it easier not to go off plan.
Tuna pouches might be the best invention since sliced bread. Â Seriously. Â Instead of chips or pretzel m&m’s (my crack), I will have these with me in case I NEED something and I need it now.
We bought a few big bags of chicken and B trimmed them all, weighed them and vacuum sealed them up to be frozen. Â Every night we’ll grab a pack and cook up the next day’s lunch or it’ll be all ready to grab and cook for dinner.
And finally, we are all ready for tomorrow mornings Spark (first) and Fiber Drink (drink FAST). Â I’m so not a morning person, so laying it all out helps me remember what I am supposed to be doing / taking and doesn’t give me a chance to forget or do it wrong.
If you are starting the Challenge with us, what are you doing to prepare? Have you been shopping yet? Â Planned any meals? Â And if you’ve already done the Challenge, any last minute words of advice? Â I’m super excited about watching B chug down that fiber drink in the morning. Â He’s out having one last pre-challenge hurrah, so I’m sure that’ll go down real nice tomorrow ;).
This looks like food heaven! So much yummy, healthy food to eat

I am so impressed by your grocery trip!! I wish I could plan like that! Thanks for all the helpful 24 day challenge lists and information. My fiance and I are starting the challenge in a couple of weeks. He has been an Advocare distributor for about 2 years, so he has done it a few times. This will be my first and I am anxious! Excited to read about how yours goes and pick up some tips!
Also, he has mentioned that he combines his Spark and the fiber drink in the morning. Makes the fiber drink go down much better, so I have heard 🙂
If I don’t plan on the weekends…breakfast lunch and dinner…I’m screwed during the week. With bootcamp three nights a week I have to make sure I have carbs when I get home from work and some protein after the workout. When I don’t eat those carbs beforehand, workouts suck the energy right out of me and if I don’t already have some protein available after…I’m not eating dinner until 9 which is too late. Planning is everything no matter what kind of diet/meal plan you have when you work or are busy or just really trying to watch what you eat.
I highly recommend the peaches and cream fiber drink instead of the citrus. When you order the bundle, it automatically comes with citrus but you can ask your rep to order the products separately and make that switch! So much smoother, much better flavor and way easier to get down!!
Amazing results! My husband went through the 24 day challenge and I?m getting ready to do one myself! I can?t wait!
