Holy Cow It's Day Five!

I am still breathing, walking, and at least half-thinking on day 5!  LOL.  Insanity has been really hard, but for a person like me who needs to be told what to do to get started on something like this, it's been GREAT!  I am not going to lie to you, there are parts of it that I just go through the motions, but I won't let myself quit!  One of my biggest assets (and biggest set backs) is I am not good a quitting!

Anyone who knows me knows I stay busy...  productive busy not just busy - sorry I had to make that clear because there is a huge difference!  Working out and eating right is extremely hard for me to keep consistent. This is definitely a learning experience for me all the way around.  I am using Advocare products to help me along the way.  Of course I am doing my own thing because I am stubborn like that, but I need to know what works for me!  I believe in the products I sell, and I want to be able to tell people, "this is how some people use them and it has worked for them, and this is how I have used them, and it's worked for me!"  AND just FYI they are working for me!  :)

On  a perfect day this is what I do:

*Wake up and take 2 Catalyst with a Rehydrate/Spark mixture (I like Fruit Punch and Cherry mixed)

)*Work out with Shaun T (Yeah I have a crush don't laugh) - Water is the drink of choice during his hideously short water breaks!

*Take my Coreplex (They are awesome because I buy one multi-vitamin and my whole family takes them)

*Drink a Meal Replacement Shake- I always add things to mine just because I like them that way, but they are extremely good mixed with just water!  Strawberries, fat free yogurt, and strawberry Meal Replacement is a family fave!  I also love LOVE love, vanilla Meal Replacement, frozen peaches, fat free yogurt, and cinnamon.  Oh my goodness it is heavenly!  I have also seen a little research about cinnamon being good for you..  http://altmedicine.about.com/od/cinnamon/a/cinnamon.htm and I have to say that just makes it even more yummy!  

* Sensible lunch and dinner healthy snacks- lots of veggies and fruit-  AND best part of all is I GET TO GRILL A TON!  :) YEP I love my grill!

* Also, if I start feeling extremely hungry and I know I shouldn't be..  yes I do that often..  I take 2 Leptilean to help me out. 

This is what is working for me-  it is what fits into my current lifestyle.- You can check out my Advocare products at:

Reality is I mess up-  Lat night I took Cyd out to eat at Abuelo's.  I ate some amazing Enchiladas!  YUMMY!  And felt a little bad about cleaning most of my plate,  BUT they were so soo good!  

Last but not least, I got to talk to my friend Shellee-  She's pretty amazing I can't lie! I call her my voice of reason.  She always makes me feel better.  She's that person in my life that never tears me down, but is always honest.  Last night she made me realize I need to start looking in a different mirror!  One that shows all of the great things I have to offer instead of what some may consider baggage.  LOL if Shellee thinks I am   special, there must be some truth to it!  

That's enough for today, May 31, 2012.  Enjoy it, it's the only one you will ever get!

Wish me LOVE because I definitely wish it for you!

All in all not a bad day! 

Ok... here we go!

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but quite honestly life has been super busy!  No complaints at all, I love my full life!  I am sure you are just dying to know what's been going on...  right?

Well here ya go..

I started selling Advocare a couple of months ago and quite honestly I went into it with some hesitation and my usual doubt.  BUT I have to say, my attitude was quickly changed!  Don't worry this is not a sales pitch...  just my normal ramblings about stuff that's going on in my world.  I have my Advocare products that I refuse to go with out and my daughter now has her's. 

Track season has started and Cydney has her first meet tomorrow!  She's super excited because it happens to be at THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA!  BOOMER...

Saturday night is the Green Country Roller Girls first home bout!!  So excited to be able to support them!  Great group of ladies.  I am a vendor and will have an Advocare booth.  If you get the chance you should come check out some awesome derby and while you are there come and see me!  I can hook you up with some Spark!  (That's my favorite Advocare product, oh yeah and the Rehydrate, and the MNS, and the Catalyst..  ok the list goes on!) 

Shelby will be starting softball soon..  She's on the BA Attitude!  Track is Cydney's "thing".. Football is Tony's "thing"..  and it looks like softball may be Shelby's "thing"!

Personally, I am still trying to figure it all out!  Maybe one day I will figure out what my "thing" is.  LOL. Being a Mom, teaching, Advocare...  I have a lot on my plate!  BUT I AM LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Now don't forget to appreciate today, 02/19/2012,  it's the only one you will ever get!

Wish me LOVE~ Because I definitely wish it for you!

Ever feel forgotten?

Not sure, but I believe that everyone has felt as though they were forgotten at one point or another.  I know I have.  I have kind of this weird dynamic going on in my head.. On the one hand I know I am absolutely BLESSED beyond measure, but then on the other I feel that there is so much more for me out there.  One of my family's favorite movies is "Our Family Wedding".  Yeah even Tony sings "...I'll cook your dinner babe..  soon as I get home from work.."  We have a few faves of course, but this is definitely on the top 5 list.  What is crazy is that even  though my situation is definitely different, I can relate to the Mom in the movie.  She talks about being labeled as "just the mom"  and I so get that.  Even though I don't consider myself "just a mom" sometimes there is an overwhelming feeling that "mom" is the only thing that other people see me as.  Hands down there is absolutely no doubt about where my priorities lie..  my kids are #1!  I believe that God blessed me with the gift of being their mom.. and when God blesses you with a gift, I believe you need to do the very best you can with it!  I wear my mom badge with tons of pride! 

What gets a little frustrating is the fact that people can't seem to see me past being a mother to 3 kids.  All that "me time" that Dr. Phil and Oprah talk about means nothing if no one wants to share it with you..  OK I get that that seems like an oxymoron, but what I mean is I can read a magazine, do my nails, take a bath, all of those things by my self, but I don't get much "grown up time" because people around me are so focused on me being a mom.  Hard to explain, but I know exactly what I mean!  ;op 

ANYWAY, moving on.. I am on day 20 of the Advocare 24 day challenge and I am down 8 lbs.  (More like 10 lbs, but I don't count them unless I have kept them off for a couple of days.)  I feel better and I believe I look better!  I met my first goal already:  1) I want my clothes to fit better!    If you would like to see what I am talking about and maybe try some of the products for yourself here is my web page  www.advocare.com/11112702 .  I am more than happy to answer any questions you have!  It's the best "me" decision I have made in a very long time!

Be blessed today, 12/17/2011, it's the only one you will ever get!

~~Wish me Love!~~

I have been on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge for 13 days now...  so far even with the bumps it has been GREAT!  I had Thanksgiving and a cold right in the middle of the challenge and have still managed to lose 7 lbs!!  Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
