get fit | advocare

Two years ago, I decided to take control of my life make a huge lifestyle change, in hopes to become a happier, but more importantly, healthier person. I have always been a curvy and at many points in my life had started a dreaded diet,  but a few post college years of partying, eating unhealthy and failing to focus on myself, had definitely caught up with me. At this point, I had tried EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. From counting calories, to weekly meetings where a group “watches weight,” to diet pills. You name it, I tried it. The one thing consistent with all these attempts however, was that they never stuck because they weren't sustainable for me and the kind of person I am. I was introduced to Advocare and the clean eating lifestyle by my friend Lauren who had recently started a her own journey to health and fitness. I will never be able to repay Lauren for how much her inspiring posts, and her support for my journey really changed my life! 

In March of 2013 I started my first Advocare 24 Day Challenge. The challenge was a great jump start toward achieving my health and fitness goals. In 24 days my ideas about cooking and eating completely changed. And, with the addition of Advocare products, I was able to loose about 7 pounds in 24 days. More importantly than the weight loss however, I felt AMAZING. After my first challenge was through, I continued to eat clean and limit my alcohol assumption, however I did not continue with the supplements. Fast forward 9 months, when I decided to partake in the 24DC again, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had lost additional weight, since the conclusion of my first challenge. This goes to show, that small changes (eating clean and limiting alcohol) is so important to sustaining a healthy weight. During my second challenge, I have really focused on my fitness. My goal isn't to be skinny, because let’s face it: I am a 5’2” and these hips don't lie! I definitely have muscles to tone, inches to loose and pounds to shed, but I can honestly say that I feel better than I ever have, and I know that the best is yet to come! I would love for you to join me and the rest of my Advocare family in achieving your health and fitness goals! Please email me if you have questions!
