Days 4-7 report...

Days four through seven of my Advocare Challenge are similar with regards to product and food instruction.  Although Advocare's meal plan is pretty good, I have chosen to tweak it a little for me and my lifestyle.  It's kind of my experiment.  My meals are generally the same from day to day except for dinner and on the weekends.

To keep it simple, I am not go in to detail if there is a meal I've already outlined.  Here are my supplement / food log, work out log, and some notes I've made over days 4-7:
