Don't say the "D" word!

Well, anyone who knows me knows I love to talk about being healthy, active and fit! They also know I hate the "D" word... DIET!!! I refuse to say I am on a diet. I believe strongly that we should be eating healthy for life and on a healthy fitness journey for life. It needs to be more than a fad. It needs to stick. 

I found Advocare! Or Advocare found me. 

It is not a diet! It is not a fad! 

It is real! It is something that can kickoff your weight loss or fitness journey, and help you stay on that path for life! These products not only helped me flatten my tummy, they also helped eliminate my frequent migraines while I took them.

IN PAIN?!?!

Maybe some of you can relate to constant pain. I truly couldn't until this past year when my lower back started to constantly hurt from a combination of being out of whack and walking crooked from a heel issue. I just thought I was going to have to live with this pain the rest of my life.

We hadn't been able to find a chiropractor yet in our area, and I just didn't want to spend the money to go. So, I just kept dealing with the uncomfortable pain, walking slightly crooked, struggling to turn over in bed, hurting when I ran (if I could run). It was discouraging to say the least. 

You may have read that I did the Advocare 24 day Challenge back in February. Yes, I keep talking about it. I truly love it! It made me feel great and I can't wait to do the cleanse again. 

Well, one of the products in this challenge is OmegaPlex, an all natural and superior source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It is one of the products that Advocare sells that helps overall core function.

An added bonus, is that I no longer have lower back pain! 

This product along with the 24 Day Challenge has increased my stamina and has helped my strength in training and running. I just ran 5k last week for the first time in almost a year! I have been working up to it and was so excited to be able to run this distance with no pain! 

It's so important to me to share this with you, today. I want to help you eliminate your pain. I believe this product can help you. It just might be what you need, but how can you go wrong? It's all natural! It's good for you!

I am so thankful to the ones who shared Advocare with our family! God is using it as a tool in our lives to stay fit and healthy.

Who's a Better Tennis Player?

Who would you think is better at tennis, Joseph or me?

Well, to be honest, he just beat me last night 6-3 but... there was a time when I was beating him. 

Yes! but... it didn't have as much to do with talent and skill as it did with my energy level. I started the Advocare 24 day challenge and with it came an amazing energy and mental focus drink called SPARK! 

Spark????

 Have you heard of it? 

I hadn't. I was up for a much needed boost. My energy had dropped so much that every evening I was falling asleep as soon as we finished dinner. I couldn't keep up working at school, let alone play a full set of tennis. 

Back in February, when I started taking Spark, within two days I was feeling the affects. Joseph and I went out to play tennis and I beat him 6-1! I couldn't believe it!  I was actually placing the tennis ball instead of just trying to stay alive. 

Fast forward two months and now Joseph has been taking Spark, too. It's been so much fun seeing us get better and challenging each other. He started running down the tennis ball, serving and placing it so much better.

Now it's war!

No, not really but boy am I competitive! :)

You're probably thinking what is this stuff? Well, how many of you drink coffee, or some kind of energy enhancer? Then think all natural, non adictive, good for you and better priced and that's Spark!

Here is the break down of the Spark.

We don't buy soda, and very rarely a specialty coffee, so Spark was a easy buy for us. As you can see it's so much better for you and even relatively cheaper. 

It's so worth it!

Not Just Another Challenge

This year I turn 40. I never thought it would be a milestone, really. It is just a number. After all, you are only as old as you feel right? Well, little by little, I have started to feel heavier, slower, more sluggish and not able to lose the weight I had gained after my double varicose vein surgery this past year.

Of course, exercise and healthy eating are so vital. I have been on this journey since 2009. I even have some before and after pictures, but I hit a plateau and couldn't get my body to budge. 

This is when I was introduced to this amazing Challenge. The Advocare 24 Day Challenge!

 

 I kid you not, I felt the difference right away! 

The 24 Day Challenge starts out with a 10 day cleanse. Now, I have done cleanses before. Some have even hurt, they have been so strong, but this one being a herbal cleanse, did its work gently. Within the first three days, I felt lighter and had more energy. I even beat my hubby in tennis! 

Let me explain a little more about how it works. 

Proper absorption of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals is essential to maintaining a healthy body. However, periodic lifestyle changes may generate the need for a "fresh start" - that's where the Cleanse Phase comes in. On Days 1-10 of the 24-Day Challenge, you will take three products.

These products, in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, help to rid your body of waste and prepare your body to better absorb nutrients. This isn't the kind of cleanse where you drastically reduce calories or consume only liquids - this is the beginning of a healthier lifestyle!

After completing the Cleanse Phase, it’s time to move into days 11-24: The Max Phase. The Max Phase is about fueling your body in order to achieve maximum results. During this phase you will take three products that work together to provide you with sustained energy, appetite control, core nutrition and overall wellness.  Upon completion of the 24-Day Challenge, these products can continue to be taken every day as part of a healthy lifestyle.

This was the best challenge I have done yet. Of course, I coupled it with exercise and healthy eating. This is a must. And the amazing phone app that you get for free when you start, was a great tool to keep me motivated. I am still toning up and losing! 

Here are my results. I lost 5lbs and over 5 inches in the 24 days!
