24 Day Challenge: Day 23!!

It is day 23/24. Woop woop!! I feel good and strong. I'm not SURE of any changes, but I FEEL a difference. Actually, if I didn't have mirrors, I would think I was 2% body fat. Because that's how i feel :) I am anxious to see my results! I haven't weighed or measured myself since day 11, after the cleanse part. (I thought that I would feel my best then, but I feel better now than I did in the beginning!) However, the scale doesn't mean much to me anymore. Many think the lower the number, the better. Wrong. Health. Fitness. Those are most important- to me. At the beginning of the challenge, my advisor talked to us about striving to be "FIT, not skinny." I'd seen pics, quotes, etc about this concept before, but I really know and appreciate the meaning of it now. My endurance has grown - I ran 4 miles on Wednesday evening. I'm not sure if I have ever run 4 miles without a stop. My legs are more toned - a giant feat for pear shapes ;)  I may have even gained weight, but those are tremendous differences than a month ago so who gives a shit, right?!  I made an Instagram strictly for health/fitness. I didn't want to blow up my friends' pages on my main Instagram with pics of my runs and food... I, too, think that it's annoying when people share how much they squat on Facebook... like, CONGRATS? But with Advocare and with Tone It Up, I love the team aspects. I love to share and see recipes, workouts, encouragement, motivations, etc with other people who want the same things. And with the team, it's uplifting, motivating, and rewarding- not egocentric. I love to see people reach goals/new heights as much as I like sharing my own with positive people who care to know :) So THANK YOU.
 I don't have many plans for the weekend but finishing this challenge STRONG. My next post will be the end of the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. It will include my results, whatever they may be, and insight on the things I've learned, how I've grown, tips, advice, do's and don't's, and progress. I am excited/scared anxious to find out and share them.  Go outside and enjoy the weather and YOURSELF!!
Thanks for reading <3
