Who in their right mind would NOT want to win $50...I mean really? 

I am having a 24 Day Challenge Challenge...yep, you read that correctly. I am going to do a 24 Day Challenge and I am challenging each one of you to join me. The winner of our challenge will receive a $50 cash prize! But wait...there's more...

The first FIVE people who purchase their challenges in the next 7 days will receive a FREE "Go Kit" from me. This kit contains an AdvoCare blender bottle packed with lots of great goodies to keep you going throughout your challenge! 

The Challenge starts October 28th and ends November 14th...just in time for the holidays! I will be coaching you and following you through the entire process, so don't think you're going to have to do this on your own. There's strength in numbers, right? 

Here's what you do: go to my website at http://www.advocare.com/11125631 and purchase your 24 Day Challenge Bundle. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through the comments section on this post, through email at [email protected] or through Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AdvocareTeresaWarner. I will be in contact with you and let you know where we go from there. Remember to order your products early so you have them in time to start the Challenge on the 28th. 

Let's get this party started! Time to make some changes and start feeling better and looking our best. I am so excited to share this journey with you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Spark it up!

 
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! 
 
This is a huge, huge day for me! I just had to share this with y'all!  I essentially spent my 20's pregnant...constantly, back to back pregnant. I actually have 2 kids born on the same day exactly 1 year apart kind of pregnant. So you can imagine what this journey means for me...my youngest is 7 and it's time to lose the baby weight and get on with it already. 

I try very hard during Challenges not to weigh myself all the time. I try to gauge my progress more by how my clothes are fitting and how I'm feeling rather than the infamous "number on the scale"...but today I couldn't resist. I had to check. I checked 3 times as a matter of fact because the first time I checked I was laughing so hard...I thought it was a joke! Nope, I am now officially within 2 pounds of my lowest weight in 13 years! AND...my percent body fat went down by .5% which I know isn't much but baby steps, right? I can't believe this! I have been working so hard for the past 12 days on this Challenge and it is paying off! And I still have 12 more days to go! Seeing my progress today is my motivation to continue down this path with even more energy and "aliveness" as my good friend Richa Badami says.  I am hoping that if you are following along with me on this journey and you find yourself facing similar challenges that you realize you can reach your goals. The saying goes "I didn't promise you it would be easy...I promised you it would be worth it!" And it so very much is!!!! Thank you for stopping by. Your support means more to me than you know!
 
MY BOX JUST CAME!!! I don't know if I can wait until Monday to get started on my cleanse. I might need to start on Saturday. I am just so excited to get started because the sooner I get started the sooner I start seeing changes happen! Yeee Haw! Can't wait to rock this!
 
Getting started is half the battle. Making the decision to change your life and actually taking the steps to reach those goals takes some serious guts. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. I've set some new personal goals recently and by this time next year I'd love nothing more than to be here blogging about what I've accomplished. I'm going to be starting my next 24 Day Challenge next Monday (March 19th). These are super challenging for me because I love to cook and I love to eat even more...but I have to remember that moderation is the key and I absolutely LOVE the way I feel after an Advocare cleanse. If you're interested in joining me (either locally or virtually) you can purchase your 24 Day Challenge Bundle by clicking HERE and be sure to contact me and let me know how you're doing! We're in this together...what a wild ride it's gonna be! I'll keep y'all posted on my progress. Don't forget to keep checking back!
