At the Club. Sam's Club.

Day 2 of the Advocare 24 Day Challenge is in the books.   I've made solid decisions and I've followed the plan to a tee.  Fruit, Protein, Carb.   Spark.  Catalyst energy.  Lots of water.  Stay active.  All these things that make sense, and this program just makes sense.  It's not hard to do.

And that fiber pack.  Whoa, that fiber pack.   As I eat breakfast, I put this powder into water and chug down 8 ounces.  It's not the best flavor, but it fills me like water in a sponge.  Funny how I can have 3 snickers bars, a pack of skittles and a few hostess cakes - eat over 1500 calories - and still be left hungry, or I can take 15 calories of fiber with an apple (more fiber) and a good lean protein and be all set for a while.

I always worried about dieting because of that whole "I'll be hungry all the time" thing.  This is NOT happening.  I can completely see this becoming a lifestyle.

Oh, and I want to share something that I figured out on accident this weekend.   So, my wife and I went to Sams Club and there's this booth where you can pick out a lean meat (grilled chicken, salmon, whitefish, jumbo shrimp), add broccoli and asparagus, and they put it in a bag.  You literally take this bag, stick it in the microwave for 12 minutes and you have a meal.  We tried it a few nights ago, and let me tell you - this 12 minute salmon in the microwave was just as good as any salmon I've ever cooked on a grill.  It was fantastic.

I was only thinking dinners when I got this, but I brought one for lunch today.  So, instead of a quick lunch or running out to Subway to get a meal, I'm having whitefish and veggies for lunch today.  And the bag you're looking at is $9.67, but that was enough to feed two people.  When I cook it, I'm treating my boss to lunch today so I don't overeat.  In other words - you're getting a piece of whitefish (good sized, not dinky at all) or salmon or about 8 jumbo shrimp, and veggies for under $5 a person.  

I challenge you to find THAT at a fast food joint.
