Hey y'all! Well, it's been quite a while since I've last posted here and so much has happened! I need to share all of my exciting news with you...so here goes!

I've posted here about my never-ending struggle to lose weight and reach my health and fitness goals for a while now. Little by little I'm being presented with options that will help me reach these goals. First it was AdvoCare, which has made all the difference not only in my life, but in the lives of many of my friends as well. I feel so much better on the products, have more energy than I ever remember having before, and I know my metabolism is in full force because I'M LOSING INCHES AND POUNDS WEEKLY! I started with a 24 Day Challenge and lost 15 pounds...you can read about my AdvoCare story on the other part of this site...but ever since my first Spark I knew these products were for me. Use of the products lead into an awesome business opportunity that I have been incredibly blessed to have in my life. I have been given such an opportunity to help others physically and financially and for that I am so grateful!

Secondly, I joined a gym. I know, I know...I have always said "I'm not the gym type", but this is no ordinary gym. This is THE gym. Here's the short version: A number of my friends go to Florida Get Fit and swear that it is the best gym around. I went to their Facebook page, liked it, and a few days later saw a post for a Biggest Loser competition they were having. I contacted Sarah Farmer who owns the gym and told her I was interested and that was that. A group of us started our fitness quest on October 1st with insane workouts and meal plans. We are all shaping up and looking good...and becoming fast friends in the process. Like they say, misery loves company right? LOL! (Just kidding Sarah!) We have met for kickboxing at 4:50 a.m. and bootcamp at 7:30 p.m. Seems like all we do is workout! But the results speak for themselves...in fact, that picture of me you see at the top of this post makes me incredibly proud. I am wearing a shirt I haven't been able to wear since COLLEGE! College, people! That was circa...yeah, like I was going to tell you when I graduated! Ha! Nice try! Let's just say it's been a while.  I am so thrilled to finally have found a system that works for me. I am the strongest I've been since my ROTC days in college! I don't shun push-ups anymore, although burpees can still kiss my butt! It is an absolutely amazing feeling. So much of my life has been spent feeling crappy about my body...feeling tired and miserable and just fat...and telling myself I was just going to have to resign myself to the fact that I was "too busy" to make the necessary changes. I do believe that God puts people in our lives as He sees fit...He knows what (and who) we need and when we need them. I have an amazing support system now in my friends from the gym, my friends, family and neighbors, as well as my AdvoCare family. I have never felt to supported and loved before when trying to reach a goal and make a life change! And I want to share it with you!

If you are feeling the same way I have felt...if you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...and are ready to make the big changes in your life that are necessary to help you reach your goals, please leave me a comment with this post and I will get in touch with you and share a little more about my journey and what has inspired me to "keep on keeping on"!  For those of you who are personal friends of mine, you can message me on Facebook or send me a text or email as well. I'm a tech junkie so I'm never out of the loop for more than the amount of time it takes for me to switch from my lap top to my cell phone! LOL! I feel so blessed to have been able to get to where I am right now and would love nothing more than to help others get here too.  Nothing is impossible. Nothing is unattainable. YOU ARE WORTH IT! Love and hugs to each and every one of you...and never, NEVER give up your dreams! God Bless!
