My favorite products and why..

    I am happy to say that my weight loss has not stopped since my 24 Day Challenge ended. I think this is one of the best parts about these products is that they continue to work. In this post I want to highlight what I am doing now that is aiding with my continued loss..getting closer and closer to that negative 60 pound mark every day!! Filling up my chart with color, and rewarding myself every 5 pounds lost...My next reward is a new outfit!! Can't wait for that one!! I'm looking forward to getting some smaller sizes.
    Something that I take every single day, and know that I will take it the rest of my life are my Omegas. AdvoCare's is called OmegaPlex. This is fish oils and so good for you in so many ways. My hair is growing fast and is stronger than ever...it has to be because I have a five month old that is always pulling on it. My skin looks radiant. Before my 24 Day Challenge I had bad adult acne. I attribute my clear skin to these products because I have not changed anything to my daily face regimen. You know I am confident when I will take pictures now without make-up on.

Doesn't my skin look fabulous? I'm telling you, that's the OmegaPlex on top of changing my diet to healthy food and NO SODAS!!! I do not crave fatteing foods because I am getting good fats. I found a video on YouTube, Dr.Oz actually does a segment on Omegas that are on the market and actually promoted AdvoCare's in the segment..non-paid!



That is good stuff right there!! Makes me even more happy to share such a reputable product.

     My next favorites are ThermoPlus and Catalyst. The Catalyst alone will help with preserving muscle while you burn fat and calories. When you use the two of them together...BAM!! Fat has no chance!!! I was worried after my 24 Day Challenge that I would no lose anymore..that it would be like other systems that I have used. It is not!! The products are top of the line and will continue to work it you continue to want them to work!

     I drink Spark EVERY SINGLE DAY!! I can not imagine not having my Spark in the morning. As a mother of three this has become a staple in my life. I was a big coffee drinker before, and think that was one of the reason why I was no losing. Would coffee give me energy? Yes..was it long lasting? NO! Would I crash hard, yes? Would I pack on the extra calories from having cup after cup because coffee is boring without cream and sugar..YES! That's not for this girl now. I am actually getting rid of my Keurig because It is taking up so much of my counter space now.



     I use these products every single day and that is why I feel amazing, and am getting amazing results...and going to continue to get them. I just recently added  a goal to my "weight loss girl board"..I want to get zumba certified in another negative 20lbs. I love zumba and dancing, and not only can I help people with AdvoCare products, I can help them with ZUMBAAAAA :)))

Just for fun....

And remember this....



 

     If you are not getting the results you want from the 24 Day Challenge, it is not because the system does not work. The products work amazingly. There are many people that ARE getting results. You need to check where you are at, and what you are eating, then modify!! :))) People that are my team are getting coached by the best (not just myself, I have some awesome friends that come with me), and I love that because I know they will get amazing results like me.

 



What I look like now!

Surely My body is changing every day. The other day I had the "nerve" to go and look at my skinny jeans that I have been hiding from myself for years now. I am not quite into them, but so much closer!! I have had a few people tell me that I am an inspiration. That means SO MUCH to me. I want more than anything to help people who want help. This post is going to be short and sweet...I just wanted to update with my latest before and after picture!! Let me know what you think!! I hope it INSPIRES you!! <3

I am Down 30lbs of fat, and gained 5lbs or muscle!!

Results will create a "Spark"

   Here we are..almost a month after I have finished my 24 Day Challenge and I am still losing. As of this morning I am 188 lbs!! That is a 20 pound loss since March 25!! These are tremendous results, far beyond my expectations. You might be wondering, "What are you taking now, Ashley?", and I have found this is a common question for people when I talk to them about a 24 Day Challenge. Currently I am taking multiple AdvoCare products. The products that I am taking are called Catalyst, ThermoPlus, Omega 3s, and of course Spark! I take all of them on an empty stomach, and have been seeing steady results. Catalyst helps me work out longer and harder. ThermoPlus is amazing..it is an appetite suppressant and increases the metabolism. Both of these items can be used with the 24 Day Challenge to maximize results. Since I have been taking these products, my energy levels have significantly increased. I am a mother of three..being tired is not an option...being lazy is not an option. On top of having all those kids, I am a full time student. I can honestly say that I could not function without my AdvoCare. I am a believer!! Look at my increase at the gym from March to April...

    I am starting training for my first 1/2 marathon this weekend! I Do not think I would have attempted that if it were not for this transformation I am going through. Not only has my body changed, but my life and mind are changing. I have started to look at food as something to fuel my body and keep me going, rather than binging on food that "taste so good" that I can't stop eating. People see it in me too, and that's rewarding.
The next picture is my weight reward goal board. I made this picture in January when I started Weight Watchers. It is a picture of a girl..what I want to look like. Marked on the picture is every 5lbs with a reward of some kind. The rewards get better and better the more weight I lose. Until I started my 24 Day Challenge in March, the poster only had 2lbs marked. Now I am proud to say that I can finally go up to twenty and reward myself with some new and EXPENSIVE running shoes. I'm going to go get a running test so that while I train for my half, I have a good pair of shoes to do it in.

See the little red line marked? That's the two pounds, I did not even mark it at the bottom. That red line was by itself until just recently and I have been constantly adding because I have changed my life.

     One thing I know is that I feel so good I never want this feeling to go away. After my 24 Day Challenge was finished, and I had such great results I decided that this is what I want to do with my life. I want to help people achieve their weight loss goals. If I am helping other people to do the same thing I did, then I will continue to better myself. I did what I had to do, and became an AdvoCare advisor. This just happened last week. I am very happy to say that I have 4 people who signed up for the 24 Day Challenge under my name, and I am determined to help them get the same results that I got by teaching them the same ways my mentors taught me.
