*32* My Favorite Products

My Favorite Advocare Products

1. ThermoPlus
This is my go-to "all-in-one" product.  It helps to maintain my energy levels (along with Spark!), while burning fat, and helping me feel fuller longer.

2. Meal Replacement Shakes
I like both the vanilla and both chocolate flavors (I'll have to try Berry next).  I hate wasting time in the morning making breakfast.  I love that I can grab a pouch and my blender bottle with water and go.  They keep me full, and taste great!  Prior to using Advocare, I had tried other forms or protein/breakfast shakes and didn't find any that tasted good to me.
These also work great for when you are in meetings, running errands, traveling, and don't have time to sit down and eat, or limited availability of food choices.

3. Carb-Ease Plus
I'll be honest, I love my carbs.  Pasta, potatoes, you name it.  Since I started using Advocare, I've been much more mindful of what carbs we're eating and how often.  Our pantry is now stocked with whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, and sweet potatoes.  However, it's just not realistic for us to eat perfectly all of the time.  Carb-Ease helps when we're having a particularly carb-heavy meal, breaking down the carbs and fats, while boosting my metabolism.

4. Spark
Aside from the 24 Day Challenge bundle, Spark is Advocare's most popular product.  It's a safe, sugar-free drink that boosts energy without the crash and jitters commonly associated with energy drinks.  It provides a more consistent flow of energy throughout the day.  While I may not get an instant jolt of energy that I would expect, on days that I drink Spark, I notice that I'm not needing a nap come noon, and yawns are hard to come by.

*31* I'm an Advocare Distributor!



After a year of using consistently using the Advocare products and loving the results, I decided to join the Advocare Team and become a distributor of their fantastic line of products!

You might be asking why, so let me tell you!

1. I truly love their products and what they do for people.  
I will forever be grateful for what they've done to help me achieve my fitness and weight goals as well as how the increased energy and overall just feeling good about myself.  That in and of itself makes it worth it.  

2. I want to help other achieve and feel the way I do about myself.  
I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to at least know about Advocare and make it a choice for themselves.  If you don't know about it, you can't choose it. I love seeing Advocare clients celebrating their successes, getting healthier, and feeling great about themselves too!

3. Getting to work with awesome people. 
A couple amazing friends of mine have been Advcoare distributors for over a year and rave all the time about the company they work for.  We work together as a team to help each other out with supporting clients,  supporting other distributors, answering questions, and being each other's cheerleaders.  My success is every much their success and there's mine.  I'm not fighting my coworkers to get the top, we're climbing together.  I also have the freedom to choose when, where, and how I work-it's completely flexible.  Plus, the extra income doesn't hurt either. ;)

Want to know more about the Advocare line of products?
I'd love to hear from you!

*27* Day 24!!!



LAST DAY

Today is the last day of the challenge.  I weighed myself this morning and I had to double take what the scale read because I honestly couldn't believe it.  I surpassed my short-term goal weight and was down 8lbs from the day we started.  Prior to Christmas, I had weighed myself and was 13lbs heavier than I am now. I am ecstatic about my results.  I will be getting my final measurements tonight when my husband gets home. 

Breakfast
We had a snow day, so I had time to make an actual breakfast today.  I made scrambled eggs (1 whole, 2 whites) with green onions, and had a whole wheat bread thins toast with a little bit of natural peanut butter. So good!

Mid Morning Snack
raw almonds and cashews

Lunch
Left over pork chop

Mid-Afternoon Snack
Carrots and garlic hummus

Dinner
Sweet potato lasagna from the Advocare cook book. 

Evening Snack
Ginger cookie and carrots

Water Intake
Much better today!

How I felt
Pretty good! I'm excited to be done with the challenge and have the awesome results that I did!


I will come back and do another post that summarizes our experience with Advocare and the 24 day challenge.
