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.
