Another successful AdvoCare story. And the best part is that that means that someone is on their way to change. And that will spread to others. And hopefully change some lives.

Kayla lost 11 pounds and 15 inches in 24 days. It took her a while to finally try the Challenge out. But, with that loss, I am pretty sure she is happy she came around.

For me the best part about the Challenge is the  cleanse. Detoxing my body renews my overall self.

Check out the 24 Day Challenge tab out under my Advocare site under the AdvoCare tab.

And be on the lookout for posts from Freeing Sisyphus this weekend then next week watch out for  two new trainees who will be making their way from day 1 to 3.1 over the next few weeks.

She is seriously rockin it.  I am telling you everyone who does this loses it and keeps it off! It is a great kickstart to get to a better weight and better healthy eating habits. ......as I sit here eating cupcakes.........hey, they were left over from a party and I worked really hard on them. I had to try them........or three.

Be inspired, work hard, and see you tomorrow

Another day: another challenge

Kayla is a beautiful girl in her young twenties that I've known since she was "just a tad high" Okay, not that long but she was on   a community dance team that I started and I got to know her some. Enter Facebook. And we keep up the rest of our lives.

I've been telling, well begging, her to do the 24 Day Challenge FOREVER.....literally since like February. I finally convinced her. She is starting her challenge tomorrow. Just like last time, we will give a  5, 10 and 24 day update. This program really works and I can't wait to see the change in her.

One cool thing we did was go shopping together. This is the first time I've taken someone to pick out their entire menu not just show them heaven-I mean Whole Foods. I went through there like the Tasmanian devil. It felt pretty good and I just love teaching people how small changes add up to to major change.

I will post how I went with a friend to have her gate analyzed and pick out a pimpin sports bra to hold some big ol girls (sorry to all of the one man reading this-my husband)

So without further ado, meet Kayla and check back in 5 days for her progress. If anyone can guess how much she will lose they will win their very own challenge. So leave a comment and let me know you are ready to change your life!

Well if you have been reading (and if you haven't then you are lame) then you know that 4 girls and I set out on our 10 day AdvoCare cleanse and some did the full 24 day challenge.

So, I know you, as I am dying for the 10 day results so without further ado, here you go!

Karin: (last pic with vein in my forehead sticking out) down 7 pounds and 8 inches (all in my waist and hips) Also if you count the Dr's scale I weighed on yesterday with clothes on, I am down 13!! OH how I hope it is right. Le Sigh

Tina: (second picture with hat on) down 6.1 pounds and 6 inches. She runs with me and there is a huge difference. She is going to continue to eat this way as well as I and see if we can shed those pounds before winter.

Sarah: (first picture)Sarah is down 3.5 pounds and 2 inches. She is doing the full 24 day challenge so I know she will have more soon,

Laurie: (Last pic with me. Hint. No vein sticking out of her forehead) I haven't heard from her in a few days but she just started so make sure you check back in 8 days to see her progress!

I love this cleanse because it is all natural and very gentle. You get to eat lean meats, fruit, veggies, oatmeal, almond butter on brown rice cakes (taste better than it sounds) and can even make yummy homemade fries with olive oil and sea salt.....So good!

I've met the medical board myself that formulates everything because I am very careful about what I put in my body and there lists of credits is longer than all of my blog posts combined!

If you would like more information on AdvoCare, please email me or leave a comment. You can also visit my page at www.advocare.com/110110091. I will give you instructions, tips and tricks and be your biggest cheerleader. YOU can do it no matter what state you are in. It is a great kick start and so far I have only had success with my clients!

I have several great friends and one fabulous sister in law who are embarking on the AdvoCare challenge...some are doing the full 24 days and some are  doing the 10 day cleanse plus Spark. I have to admit that although I was so excited all week, when I woke up this morning with the realization that I could not have any coffee or diet coke......or cake for that matter, I was pretty bummed.

But soon enough, I started receiving group texts encouraging one another and clarifying questions, etc. I love helping people make changes they think they could never do. So, now I am excited once again.

Here is a brief explanation of the of the 24 day challenge program.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Enhances mental energy and focus*
• Provides support for long-lasting energy*
• Helps fight occasional drowsiness*
• 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients
• Sugar-free and only 45 calories
• Helps reduce free radicals*

IS THIS YOU?

• Someone who has trouble waking up or feels "energy slumps" throughout the day
• Someone who can’t work up enough energy to live life the way you want
• Someone who is looking for a more nutritious alternative to coffee, soda or other energy drinks

THE ISSUE:
In today’s fast-paced environment, it doesn’t take much to cause your body and your mind to simply run out of steam. When you’re low on energy, usually every facet of your life suffers to some degree. Low-energy levels are often precursors to poor weight management, increased mental and physical stress, and much more. Most of us don’t eat like we should or exercise enough – many times because we are too tired at the end of the day to dedicate 30 minutes or more to exercise. Furthermore, we often look to popular choices like soda and coffee drinks as a quick source of energy, though they are often high in sugar and calories. And even though they might provide the quick bolt of energy we’re looking for, it disappears just as quickly, usually lasting no more than 30 minutes. Experience shows that when you increase your energy, you’re often more likely to improve your overall health. For peak performance and vibrant health, we need sustained and focused energy. Poor diets, lack of physical activity and the demands of our everyday lifestyle can drain our energy, promote weight gain and lead to a variety of negative physical conditions. What we need is an energy drink that is quick to respond, long lasting, and not full of sugar and calories.

THE SOLUTION: AdvoCare Spark®
AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink is a unique multi-nutrient system that was developed as a nutritional source of energy and enhanced mental focus.* It’s a sugar-free drink mix that has more than 20 vitamins, minerals and nutrients that work synergistically to provide a healthy, balanced and effective source of energy that won’t overburden or overstimulate your body like other energy drinks on the market.* This amazing product serves as an all-in-one solution that gives you a quick boost of energy that lasts for hours.* With six refreshing flavors (Pink Lemonade, Grape, Mandarin Orange, Fruit Punch, Cherry and Citrus), you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for you. And the best part? Only 45 calories in each serving!

Ingredients in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink contribute to supporting sustained energy or mental focus in several ways.*

For a quick boost of energy*: AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink contains an effective amount of caffeine to give you the quick boost you’re looking for.* Caffeine supports the processes in the central nervous system and muscles that enhance mental energy and focus in a relatively short amount of time.* The amino acid taurine helps provide the fast-acting energy you need that won’t overstimulate or overburden your body.*

For long-lasting energy*: The B vitamins that are present in each serving of AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink enhance your body’s natural ability to produce and sustain its own energy, leading to long-lasting benefits.* Since your body looks to carbohydrates, protein and fat as its primary sources of energy, it makes sense to enhance the metabolism of each for optimal energy production. B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-12 and vitamin B-6 all specifically contribute to the conversion of the foods we eat and the calories we store for energy.

For mental focus and clarity*: The neuroactive amino acids in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink help increase your mental focus and alertness by supporting your brain’s ability to receive and send messages to and from the nervous system.* For example, L-tyrosine an amino acid found in dietary proteins, is believed to improve mental energy and focus by serving as a precursor for specific neurotransmitters. Furthermore, the choline and GABA found in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink are essential for nerve function, muscle control, memory and many other functions.* Together, the nutrients found in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink provide the energy, mental focus and well-rounded nutrition that makes it the most effective energy drink on the market.*
