Let me begin with saying, Advocare does not promise FAST results. They do not promise some magical pill or supplement that will have you dropping 10 pounds your first week like some of the other fads out there. That is because Advocare is NOT a 'fad'. What they do promise that with proper nutrition, exercise in conjunction with their vitamins, you will be able to reach the goals you set for yourself in a realistic time frame. Basically, as with most everything else in life, you will get out of it what you put in it. Of course, you can loose the weight, build muscle, or maintain without their vitamins and other products, but I swear you will be amazed at how much better you will feel, and how much they ease the process. I'm sold just after 24 days of using them. And you will see my results are real and were achieved by eating 3 healthy meals and 3 snacks a day. Not fasting for 2 days, not adding water to a powdered soup packet, and not being overly restrictive. It has helped me train my brain and stomach to eat healthier foods and crave good things in place of the empty calories I used to crave. This is how I know I am not setting myself up for failure. I have truly begun a lifestyle change that I CAN stick to, without feeling alone and deprived. Losing weight and getting healthy is a LIFESTYLE that must be made and kept. So if you are not happy with the journey you take to achieve that lifestyle, how can you expect to stick with it?
OK off my high horse. I am so just excited to have finally jumped on this movement! I am excited to see what more Advocare can do for my personal fitness and share these products with others who want a healthier lifestyle.SO EXCITED!!!
OK results time. My regimen has been the same as I posted before. I can not lie and say that I was 100% angel this whole time, so imagine what my results would have been if I was! I have also been nursing a sad messed up knee. I haven't run in over a week, which is driving me crazy. I was able to take a body pump class last night and my knee seems to be on the mend, but I know I will have to take it slow and really listen to my body. I'm anxious to get back out on the pavement and keep training for that half marathon, and build more muscle. Alright, I will just let my pictures talk for themselves. In a nut shell, I lost 8 pounds and 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips. 8 POUNDS and 4 INCHES!!! Holy Cow!!! I will apologize for the bathroom mirror selfie's. My before's were taken post workout, the battery in my camera was dead and I was home alone.. So I figured it would be easier to compare the after's if they were taken in the same context. My afters were taken at 3 am this morning, so again I apologize :-) I am so pumped about what lies ahead.
