Right around the start of the new year Jason and I noticed a million post on Facebook referencing Advocare...seriously a million and we assumed it must be some sort of spam thing! We would get friends coming at us from all different places saying they had tried Advocare and we should too and that they are earning more than a full pay check sharing these products and we could too. But then we notices these same people were posting real photos of real changes and real excitement! These were people I looked up to for spiritual, health, and over all life advice and some since high school. So it really started wearing on my heart that I know these folks and they would not lie to us so what's the harm in listening to what they have to say right?
Fast forward to almost bikini/short weather and I was still hanging on to those last few stubborn baby pounds and Jason was getting complacent in his weight loss/muscle gain, we needed that something to push us over the edge. On the other hand we were starting to feel the effects of the little ones getting older and therefore eating more and costing more. While we are not in debt and are not living paycheck to pay check right now we want to live debt free and comfortable forever. I don't want to take this in a personal finance direction but I felt it is necessary to say we didn't chose the Advocare route because we NEEDED money it all honesty the income from Advocare is a bonus to our lifestyle change!
About a month ago we took the jump into the Advocare lifestyle. We knew we wanted to try the products and we knew we wanted a discount (duh!!) so we consulted our great friends the
Ezell's that we have known for almost 10 years and have been that little nudging voice behind us saying DO IT ALREADY! They talked us through all the relationships there are to have with Advocare and the different places we could start with the products...after maybe an hour we were sold! I can now say I the proud owner of my own
distribution site, but we have lost some in this process as well...pounds and inches that is!!! (cheesy, sorry)
Jason and I completed the
Trim Challenge Plus (we finished on June 15) and are super excited about the changes in our appearance but most excited about how awesome we feel. We are happier people. We have time and energy for each other at the end of the day. I have what it takes to be the mommy of a four year old and a one year old. Jason has a clear head to handle the challenges being a company commander in the Army presents and like I said we still have energy to spend on each other. Time in busy life is priceless!!
Here are my pictures: (click on the picture to see them better)
Total loss: 5 lbs and 6.75 inches
Jason's before and after pictures:(click on the picture to see them better)
Total loss: 13.5 lbs and 4.25 inches
I really truly believe that there is something at Advocare for everyone...EVERYONE!! It isn't just about weight loss or body building or making money. While all of that can happen so can a life change and that is what it's all about right?
