A New Adventure in 2015

I was going to wait and mention Dave and my new venture until after we've completed our 24-Day Challenge but decided it would help keep us accountable as well as put in a little plug for us:)  A friend of mine from high school started selling AdvoCare products about a year and a half ago.  She, as well as several other people I knew personally, had a lot of success with weight loss using some of the products and raved about how great they were feeling on them (more energy, etc).  I'd been curious for a long time but didn't want to spend the money and always thought it was silly; I could surely lose the weight on my own if I really set my mind to it. 

Well.....turns out I kept losing and re-gaining the same 5-10 pounds over and over.  It's been an emotional roller coaster ride since the summer of 2012 and I've used it as an excuse.  My curiosity finally got the best of me and I contacted my friend to get a little more information on AdvoCare , particularly the 24-Day Challenge.  She called me on Tuesday and we talked about the products as well as becoming a distributor to get a discount on the products.  I told her I wanted to talk it all over with Dave and I would let her know. 

I was still on the fence but knew I needed to do something to give me a little jump start, build some confidence, and help me feel comfortable in my skin again.  I told Dave all about the details of the phone call with my friend (he took the kids for lunch while I was on the phone so there would be no distractions:) and even shed a few tears when I was telling him; I was embarrassed that I was actually considering paying for something that could potentially help me lose weight.  Of course he fully supported me and told me to go for it and that he had no problem with me spending the money.  We talked about becoming a distributor, which I wasn't sold on.  Dave, being the business man that he is, broke down the numbers and decided there really no reason not to become a distributor.  Then he said, "why don't you order both of us the 24-Day Challenge."  Though he has successfully lost 50+ pounds on his own, his thinking was that we both complete the challenge, have good results, and have two success stories to help promote AdvoCare and help others have the same success. 

So, we went for it!  We signed up to be distributors and ordered the products for the 24-Day Challenge, starting January 7th.  We are really excited for the challenge and hope to share our success story/pictures at the end of the month.  If you'd like to see what it's all about or see what AdvoCare has to offer, feel free to visit our website, www.AdvoCare.com/141238339
