It only takes 2 Advocare Leptilean

One of the biggest complaints I get about supplements is that peeps don't want to take a bunch of pills everyday. I will admit that pills can be a pain in the booty, but they don't bother me. On most days I take up to 24 pills a day. It sounds like a lot, but it doesn't bother me one bit. I know that for most folk this is just way to much. I am glad to see that Advocare has figured that out as well.

I currently use their MNS Max C appetite control system. It is wonderful, but it consists of about 12 pills a day. You have to take them before breakfast, during breakfast, before lunch and during lunch. Again, lots to remember and to some folks it is just not worth it.

If you are looking for another way to work with controlling your appetite, having the feeling of fullness, boosting your metabolism and just feeling like a million bucks then I would say try Advocare's Leptilean. The best part about it is you only have to take 1 to 2 capsules. Easy peasy!

Why Spark?

Why Spark?

I have been using Advocare products for over 6 years now. Lately I have been talking about them alot. My reasons are simple. They are great products and they work. I drink a Spark every morning at 4:45 AM before I train. I drink another 1/2 serving around 3ish PM. I do it for lots of reasons. A couple of the important reasons are that it gives me energy to get through my tough work-outs. Another is it makes me feel great. I am easier to get along with and that my peeps is a good thing. Just ask my beloved Joe. Below find some great information from the Advocare website about Spark. There is a wonderful comparison of it to other things like Soda and Red Bull. I have plenty of samples if you would like to try some. If you have any questions just give me a call at 214-718-8975 or go to my site at www.advocare.com/0705371.

AdvoCare Spark® Energy Drink
Vitamin & Amino Acid Supplement

KEY BENEFITS:

• Enhances mental energy and focus*
• Provides support for long-lasting energy*
• Helps fight occasional drowsiness*
• 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients
• Sugar-free and only 45 calories
• Helps reduce free radicals*

IS THIS YOU?

• Someone who has trouble waking up or feels "energy slumps" throughout the day
• Someone who can’t work up enough energy to live life the way you want
• Someone who is looking for a more nutritious alternative to coffee, soda or other energy drinks

THE ISSUE:
In today’s fast-paced environment, it doesn’t take much to cause your body and your mind to simply run out of steam. When you’re low on energy, usually every facet of your life suffers to some degree. Low-energy levels are often precursors to poor weight management, increased mental and physical stress, and much more. Most of us don’t eat like we should or exercise enough – many times because we are too tired at the end of the day to dedicate 30 minutes or more to exercise. Furthermore, we often look to popular choices like soda and coffee drinks as a quick source of energy, though they are often high in sugar and calories. And even though they might provide the quick bolt of energy we’re looking for, it disappears just as quickly, usually lasting no more than 30 minutes. Experience shows that when you increase your energy, you’re often more likely to improve your overall health. For peak performance and vibrant health, we need sustained and focused energy. Poor diets, lack of physical activity and the demands of our everyday lifestyle can drain our energy, promote weight gain and lead to a variety of negative physical conditions. What we need is an energy drink that is quick to respond, long lasting, and not full of sugar and calories.

THE SOLUTION: AdvoCare Spark®
AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink is a unique multi-nutrient system that was developed as a nutritional source of energy and enhanced mental focus.* It’s a sugar-free drink mix that has more than 20 vitamins, minerals and nutrients that work synergistically to provide a healthy, balanced and effective source of energy that won’t overburden or overstimulate your body like other energy drinks on the market.* This amazing product serves as an all-in-one solution that gives you a quick boost of energy that lasts for hours.* With six refreshing flavors (Mango Strawberry, Pink Lemonade, Grape, Mandarin Orange, Fruit Punch, Cherry and Citrus), you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for you. And the best part? Only 45 calories in each serving!

Ingredients in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink contribute to supporting sustained energy or mental focus in several ways.*

For a quick boost of energy*: AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink contains an effective amount of caffeine to give you the quick boost you’re looking for.* Caffeine supports the processes in the central nervous system and muscles that enhance mental energy and focus in a relatively short amount of time.* The amino acid taurine helps provide the fast-acting energy you need that won’t overstimulate or overburden your body.*

For long-lasting energy*: The B vitamins that are present in each serving of AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink enhance your body’s natural ability to produce and sustain its own energy, leading to long-lasting benefits.* Since your body looks to carbohydrates, protein and fat as its primary sources of energy, it makes sense to enhance the metabolism of each for optimal energy production. B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-12 and vitamin B-6 all specifically contribute to the conversion of the foods we eat and the calories we store for energy.

For mental focus and clarity*: The neuroactive amino acids in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink help increase your mental focus and alertness by supporting your brain’s ability to receive and send messages to and from the nervous system.* For example, L-tyrosine an amino acid found in dietary proteins, is believed to improve mental energy and focus by serving as a precursor for specific neurotransmitters. Furthermore, the choline and GABA found in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink are essential for nerve function, muscle control, memory and many other functions.* Together, the nutrients found in AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink provide the energy, mental focus and well-rounded nutrition that makes it the most effective energy drink on the market.*

3 just 3

Just 3 miles on the books today. It was slow and painful. I think the full moon and lunar eclipse had something to do with me NOT sleeping last night. Very tired today, but motivated to keep going. 8 miles on the books tomorrow.

5 comes before 6

Did a combo walk/run today of 5 miles. Felt like a million miles. UGH! I think it was too much on the old knees to do 6 yesterday and 5 today. I had to burn off some of the chocolate chip cookies and chocolate dipped pretzels that I have been eating all day. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do though.

13.1 is the question

I have been contemplating the idea of doing a 1/2 marathon. I am in week 4 of my training and had the best day of training so far today. Six miles was on the books and I walked the first 3. The second set of 3 I did a run/walk combination. I have decided that if I am going to make it through this 1/2 marathon I need to take it at my own pace. I am thinking I will do the run five minutes and then walk the rest of the mile until I get to the next mile marker. When I get there I will run 5 minutes and then walk to the next mile marker. I think this plan just might work. I will keep you posted.

The Reunion

My blog post today was inspired by my recent visit to Lubbock for my 25th high school reunion. It is hard to believe that I have been out of high school for 25 years already. It seems like just yesterday I was walking across that stage during graduation. My whole life ahead of me. Wow how time flies!!

The weekend started with an alumni basketball game at the new high school. We had 14 wonderful ladies on our team with yours truly being the oldest graduate on the team. I was a little shocked at how it was prison rules basketball right from the beginning. I have bruises to show for it, but man it was fun. You forget how those teams and those individuals become such a part of your life. I learned a lot on that basketball court. I learned that if you dig a little deeper when the going gets rough, that you just might come out on top. I learned that when I felt like I couldn't possible run one more suicide drill, in the end I could. I loved feeling a part of something bigger than me. I know that sports helped me stay out of trouble and for that I am truly thankful. Thanks to Darlene and Sheryl for making it such a great game that night. You both inspired me to play hard even though most of the alumni players were 20 years younger. Go us!

The actual reunion brought many pleasant surprises. I was able to reconnect with my dear friend Bill Sterling. Bill and I go way back. He is a real cowboy. He is a little rough around the edges. I will admit that as time passed and I had lost touch with him I really thought he might be dead. I was shocked when he popped up on facebook one day alive and kicking. Bill is one of those people that if you don't speak to him for a long time and then you see him again it is like you never missed a beat. Bill holds a special place in my heart. When we were freshman in high school we made a promise to each other to not do drugs. I know it sounds corny, but it is true. Trust me I had plenty of opportunities to be a big time druggy, but in the back of my mind I always remembered that promise. Thank you Bill for being there all those years ago and making that promise with me. You and that promise most certainly changed my life for the better.

I also had the pleasure of seeing my dear friend Cindy Fisher. Fisher and I were cheerleaders together. She is the same funny, spontaneous, dingy girl I remember. She is also one of the smartest girls I know. I often laugh when I am with my own daughter Carly Jo because I swear somedays she reminds me so much of Fish I feel I have given birth to another Cindy Fisher. You see Carly Jo is also one of the smartest little kids I know, but boy is she dingy. I look at it as a blessing that I get to be with Carly Jo and Fish all at the same time. Love you Fisher.

My sweet friend Donna Buxkemper was also at the reunion. Bux is one of those people that you just want the best for her no matter what. She is going through some tough times right now, but I know that she will come out of top. She is still the most beautiful girl I know.

The reunion gave me the opportunity to visit with lots of my old classmates. I have a new appreciation for some as they have had their share of hard times. Some have suffered the loss of children or gone through not one, but several divorces. Some have lost their parents or other loved ones. Some have made good decisions and some can't win for losing. Some are still the same funny, entertaining, kind, sweet, sincere people that they always were. Some carry such a burden that my heart truly breaks for them. I do know that I am cheering for them all. Once a cheerleader always a cheerleader I guess.

All in all it was a great night. I learned that you can't analyze the past too much. You have to be good with the decisions you have made so far. If you are not happy with those decisions then do something to make a change.

I learned that I feel really lucky. I have 2 sweet, sweet daughters that I adore. One that is somewhat like Fish and the other who has that sweet soul like Bux.

My dear friend Bill asked me if I was truly happy. He stated that he reads my facebook page and my blog and wanted to know if all of my statements about my life being so happy were truthful. To that I answered "Hell No"! There are days when I don't want to be the mommy and when I feel like telling my beloved Joe to go pound sand. But his questions did make me think. Trust me you have plenty of time to think on that long boring drive from Lubbock. I thought to myself you know I love those girls like no bodies business. I would take a bullet for either one of them. Then I thought of my beloved Joe. I thought why do I love that boy so much? The answer is simple. I love him because he always has my back. No matter what happens in our little life we always land on our feet. Thank you my beloved Joe for loving me way more than I deserve.
