Doing Great and LOVING Advocare!!!

Well to date my sweet hubby has lost 14 pounds and I am on day 5 feeling better than I have in forever (even with an abdominal hernia weighing me down)!!!  The person you are is the person you want to be...so if don't like who you currently are when you look into the mirror make that change TODAY!!! If you don't do it for you then who will???? NO ONE!! One decision we made was for us to make a healthier lifestyle for us and to model that for our children.  It has been easy, because we are seeing results and feel better than ever.  Now for you to step out and take that leap of faith for your future into a better health for you. Visit my advocare site at www.advocare.com/150445872  look at the products and see for yourself.

Some helpful tips for those of you who have already decided to start either advocare challenge, use their products or eat a cleaner, healthier diet:

Start your day off with water (add spark to increase energy)
Have a protein and veggie for breakfast to make sure you feel full and are not overly loaded with carbs to start your day
Have a smart snack of nuts, fruits, a veggie w/ some hummus
Then for lunch pack it with a protein, veggie and a complex carb such as whole grains or potatoes
Then repeat that same snack idea for mid day
Then dinner can be a delicious lean meat, salad, your favorite veggies and some complex carbohydrate.
Believe me you won't be hungry and you will feel full, but not bloated and overly stuffed:)  This is my favorite part.  I know that I am full, but I don't feel sick.....I ENJOY MY FOOD!!!


Make sure you are drinking lots of water......1/2 your weight in ounces.....may sound like a lot but it will get easier as you go.

Keep striving for a healthy life for you with awesome results!!!!

Welcome to Our Journey

I wanted to start this blog to discuss our journey from spending our dinners eating fast food, fried foods, and all those comfort meals to things that are clean and healthy.  We decided to start the 24 DAY CHALLENGE with ADVOCARE and not look back...it has been amazing!! My hubby has jumped on board with pure dedication, which is so inspiring for me since I have trouble with following through on all things:(  He has lost a total of 12 lbs since April 21st...yep that's right in 6 days!! I am so proud of him. He not only feels better but he also has moved a belt buckle, his shirts are looser and we can see a big difference in his 'belly bulge'.  I have lost a total of 4 lbs since Saturday and am more than pleased with my progress so far.  I feel better overall, because what I am putting in my body is healthier....so how could I not feel better!! 

This blog will be a place for people who are trying advocare to share their experiences, recipes, struggles and successes.  I will talk about things that have worked for us along the way and how we have seen things change for us.  I hope this is helpful for you as you start your journey into a healthier lifestyle!!! 

Let's get his party!!!
