For those of you that KNOW me, know that I can be a bit of a prude when it comes to some things! Posting pics of ME... in a workout outfit... would fall into that category! BUT...when it comes to showing people the proof of what a super simple system can do, I will help people BELIEVE! 

Health is something that has always been important to me. It became especially important to me when someone (a friend's mom) made a hurtful comment about my weight. It was one of those "HMMMM...you shouldn't weigh that much" comments. She probably meant it to be harmless, but it has stuck with me for 12 years. It didn't make me have an eating disorder or visit a psychologist about it, but it was a moment that made me think. I was happy, healthy, and my parents never said things to make me worry about how I looked. THANK GOD!! This was the moment I started worrying. I thought to myself that I wasn't good enough. After that, I made note of the things I ate and looked at ingredients. Weight watchers helped with this. I am amazed at the education WW gives. However, even with that information it taught me, it's wasn't entirely helpful.  I was counting calories, fat, and fiber at the time. It didn't really matter that some of the food I was eating wasn't really good nutrition or the fact that I was still growing and needed more calories for my active life. I saw results though and I lost a bit of weight and was more educated on choices. 

Eating healthy has been a part of my life since then, and it's only improved! Now, thanks to friends, family, and research, I have gained the importance of having a clean diet and the occasional cheat! 

Fast forward to 2010, while spending a weekend in NC with my best friend, Danielle, we discussed vitamins. I had started taking them, not truly knowing why they were good for me. I trusted her though, and started to watch my hair grow faster, my skin look better, and felt all around good. I stuck with them and added more to my regimen. The quality of the vitamins wasn't too good though, BOGO at Publix baby! 

Then, in 2011, I ran my first 5K with my sweet Julie! We had an awesome time. She was hooked big time, and I just enjoyed being active. It all started coming together! 

Now a year later, I never want to look back! AdvoCare was shared with me and it has seriously changed my life! I know that sounds corny, but I have never FELT BETTER, LOOKED BETTER, or PERFORMED BETTER! My family is seeing SUPERB results and I am hooked for life. As much as people probably get tired of me talking about AdvoCare and all it offers, I have to do it. I love seeing people's life change! My mom has done a phenomenol job! Check her out!  I am a teacher guys, we live for this stuff! I live to make a difference!! 

Tonight, I was awarded a $1500 Rookie Bonus from the company for sharing and making a difference with my friends and family. I am completely floored! Our team has worked together to help others make a difference!! We are loving all of the texts, calls, and email about what the 24 Day Challenge has done for them! 

So, here are the pics! I am proud. It's not Jamie Eason or Whitney Carlson, but it's something! Right? And the fact that's it's on an iPhone...wow! 

What can Advocare do for you? Want to join me!? If I can do this, anyone can!! Please share with others and let me help YOU and YOUR FAMILY and FRIENDS make a difference in how you feel! It's certainly contagious!
