Just A Number

I am writing today in response to my own frustration and to the frustration of my dear friend and training partner and client RunnerSusan. You see we both are in a battle with numbers today. She is in a battle with the scale and I am in a battle with the growing size of my thighs. RunnerSusan in at that point where you go from say 130 to 129 on the scale and she is just about to scream about it. I am at the point that if my quads continue to grow at the pace they are growing I should be close to the incredible hulk by the time my bike race gets here in August. If you look at the big picture neither one of us should be concerned about either of our issues. You see RunnerSusan almost doubled in size when she was prego with her daughter all those years ago. Now she is a svelte, muscular and strong runner and in excellent health. I too weighed in at a whopping 194 when I delivered my sweet daughter. I have overcome lots of obstacles on my way to better health. I am now in the best shape of my life. I had major knee surgery and was released from my doctor and physical therapist 6 weeks after surgery. I ran a 5K just 3 months after that knee surgery.

Why am I reminding myself of all of this you ask? The reason is just as RunnerSusan shouldn't be concerned with 1/2 of a pound is the same reason I shouldn't be concerned that I need a size larger shorts this summer to hold these massive thighs of mine. I think we both need to take a chill pill and realize that we are healthy and yes we have a little junk in our trunks and our thighs are a little thunderous not due to fat, but due to MUSCLE!!! So to all of you ladies or gents out there that are struggling with the number on the scale or the size of your clothing...just forget about it! It ain't worth the trouble. If you are eating well and exercising just go with it and fear not! Thanks for listening!

Get Slim with Advocare Slim

Advocare has come out with a new product and I really think they are on to something with this item. As most of you know I am a distributor of Advocare products and I use several of their products on a daily basis. I am not really pushy to sale this stuff to my peeps, but I think this particular item is really cool. It is called Slim and comes in a two ounce bottle as shown in the photo above. This little bottle contains ingredients for appetite management and provides support for long-lasting energy. You may use this product along with your current vitamin and mineral supplements as well. I like it because it is so convenient and portable.

Slim contains two key ingredients Svetol and Super Citrimax. My understanding is that Svetol is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract that helps you simultaneously lose weight and improve your body's form. You may learn more about Svetol by clicking here. Super Citrimax has ingredients that support weight loss and fat reduction as well. You may learn more about Super Citrimax by clicking here.

I have been using Slim for the past 2 weeks and I have seen a decrease in appetite and an increase in energy. The kicker of all of this is I am only using 1/2 of a bottle a day. The instructions state that you may drink up to 2 full bottles a day. This would be one 30 minutes before breakfast and one around 2 in the afternoon. I think you have to try it and see what works for you and your body. 1/2 a bottle is plenty for me. I have also noticed an increase in concentration. Hey we all could use a little more focus. Another benefit is that it is helping me sustain some of my long bike work-outs. Gotta love that!

Anyway, if you have any questions or would like to order some Slim you may order by clicking here. You may also call me or drop me an e-mail and I could order it for you.
