{Giveaway} 2013: A Year of HEALTH + WEALTH

With the hustle and bustle of Christmas around the corner, you may have not given your New Year's Resolution much thought. However, it's NEVER to early to start! Our goal of getting healthy & finding a product line to enhance our well-being has turned into an amazing career opportunity and has changed the future of our family. Here's our story...we hope it inspires you to start your own!

 

In 2011 Vincent's aunt and uncle approached us about AdvoCare. We both had things about our physique we were looking to change and Vince had taken a few of the products in high school so we decided to become Distributors and enjoy a discount on the products. Fast forward a year and we not only LOVE the amazing results we've seen, but we now have a Plan B income that has made mortgage payments, paid all of Brock's hospital bills, paid credit card debt and is helping us build an extraordinary future for our family.

 

We've found that most people are looking for one of two things...a way to get healthy or a way to make money. For us, AdvoCare was our answer to both.

 

If you're looking for an answer we hope you'll consider joining us. We're looking for 3 people to add to our team that are ready for a chance in 2013! Check out the 4 ways to get involved and visit our website to see if AdvoCare is right for you.

{Mommy On A Mission} Walk It Out

Happy Monday, friends! I'm kicking off today with a Spark and a workout...yes, a workout! I've still got 3 1/2 more weeks before I go back to my doctor and {hopefully} get cleared to start working out again, but until then I'm allowed to walk and do stairs.

As much as I want to break in the jogging stroller, getting an infant out in the Texas heat is probably not the best idea. Not letting that ruin my motivation, I picked up a DVD at Target to keep me busy in the meantime. As simple as it may be, I was happy to get 2 miles in this morning!

Hope everyone has a happy, healthy week! Here's a little pinspiration for today...

{Mommy On A Mission} Happy Friday!

We hope everyone has had a great week so far! I'm excited to post my first {Mommy On A Mission} update. Check out my previous post to lean more about my program + goals. I hope you'll join me in the journey! Be sure to follow my blog so you don't miss out on updates, tips, recipes + more!

Today's Weight Loss: 0.5 lbs

Total Weight Loss: 27.6 lbs

Today I'm focusing on getting at least 5 meals + tons of water. It's hard to remember to eat when caring for an infant 24/7, but I've noticed the days I don't eat at least 5 small meals I don't see any progress on the scale.

Since I'm not able to start working out for a few more weeks, my progress depends entirely on my eating. My motivation today comes from emeals and is all about clean eating...

 Hope you have a healthy, happy Friday! If you're looking for supplements to help you reach your fitness goals, be sure visit our website!

{Mommy On A Mission} Operation Get My Pre-Baby Body Back!

It's been two weeks since having our precious baby Brock and I've been so excited to get back in shape! It's hard to believe, and even harder to admit, but 9 months of not being able to workout made for a 70lb pregnancy weight gain...yikes! I knew the minute I got home from the hospital I was going to get back in the swing of things and stop at nothing to get my pre-baby body back. I'm still not able to work out (other than walking and stairs), but thanks to clean eating and AdvoCare supplements, I've already lost over 25lbs!

I've decided to start documenting my journey and I would love for anyone who's interested to join me! Whether you're a new mom, have a little weight to lose, or just want to get healthy, follow along and feel free to share your weight loss journey, tips, & recipes. Here's a summary of my program and links to the products I use. I hope you'll join me in the journey!

An Incredible Journey

The last six months have been life-changing to say the least! We not only found out that we were expecting Baby Brock, but we also joined an amazing company that is changing our future for the better. In September, Vince & I became distributors for AdvoCare. We both had steady jobs that we enjoyed, but we struggled to save much from each paycheck to put towards our dream of one day owning our own gym. It was with a lot of faith and a little skepticism that we began our AdvoCare journey. We are in complete amazement with the success we've found over the past 6 months alone and we're enjoying the comfort of an extra paycheck each month! We wanted to share Vincent's product story with you and I'll hopefully have one of my own as soon as Brock is here!

If you or anyone you know is looking to get healthy, loose weight, increase their sports performance, and/or change their financial situation, please visit our website. We love helping people look better, feel better and perform better! Our team is growing everyday and we're always open to adding new members. Your life will never be the same!

XOXO,

Weekend Roundup

Happy Monday! We're recovering from a very busy, but totally awesome weekend! Vince and I spent majority of this weekend in Fort Worth, Texas for AdvoCare Success School. It was our first time to attend since joining the company last September and we were overwhelmed with the amount of people, the incredible speakers and the wealth of knowledge we received. So here's a rundown of our weekend at Success School...

{Friday} - Check into the Hilton Fort Worth, Dinner at Mi Cocina & off to bed early to rest up for an eventful Saturday!

{Saturday} - Breakfast buffet at the hotel, 8a.m. start to Success School, lunch at Cantina Laredo, motivational speaker Andy Andrews, dinner & a night out at Scott & Krista's.

{Sunday} - 8am Chapel Service with Mike Huckabee, final classes at Success School, lunch at Chili's & a quiet evening at home.

I should note that while Tasha and I were having a relaxing evening at home last night, Vincent got into a car wreck. Thank goodness nobody was hurt, but after a long weekend it was the last thing he wanted to deal with.

That just about sums it up. There are so many amazing things that we learned this weekend and we left Fort Worth fired-up and motivated to make 2012 an amazing year for our business. If you're looking for a way to improve your health and finances we'd love for you to join our team! Check out our Advocare site for more information!

XOXO,
