Welcome to the world of Day One on the Advocare 24-Day Challenge! Last night I had to do a little bit of preparation to get all my products in order since my clarity at 0400am is a bit cloudy! There's really not a whole lot to prepare now that I have it all worked out! I had to text Ashley (my sponsor) to make sure I had the products straight since looking at the combination of products, I was worried that all the products weren't going to play nice in my tummy in the morning!
Logistically, I had to work out when to take my morning products in conjunction with my thyroid medicine (which I need to take on an empty stomach). The cleanse directions say to take the AdvoCare products upon waking, but I decided to stick with my thyroid medicine routine and then take the cleanse products after my morning shower/getting ready routine.
I slammed an orange Slam at 0441am and it tasted good. I wouldn't say great, but I think the toothpaste taste in my mouth made it more bitter tasting than it really is. I will have to try it again tomorrow morning pre-toothbrushing! I then took 3 Catalyst capsules (I'll post about what that is later) and chased it all down with the 8oz. citrus fiber drink. Ashley warned me ahead of time to just chug it all down, since it tends to thicken the longer you nurse it! The taste was fine...I've tasted a lot worse fiber drinks. I liken it to a really thick orange juice (but not as sweet as orange juice). I didn't feel the need to gag when drinking it...bonus!!
After getting to work (about 30 minutes after the morning routine), I made myself some instant oatmeal at work and I am hanging in there just fine! Must remember to drink water!! According to information on the AdvoCare website, this cleanse is "gentle and uneventful"!
So far, so good!
