A little history goes a long way

Well here we are. About to embark on a journey that I do not intend to repeat in my life. What's the one dreaded thing I have been carrying around with me since I was (seven)? THE CHUB. I have struggled with my weight for almost my entire life. In fact, I can not think of a time in my life when I was thin. In school, I was always the tallest and chubbiest girl in my class. And I dealt with the shame every...single...day. Little mean kid peers called me names when they didn't think I could hear. And it was embarrassing and hurtful. I became very self conscious before I hit the 3rd grade. Kids can be cruel. 

Fast forward to college and enters the man who I now call "babe," my husband. A dream come true. There were many times in my life where I desired to find true love but I did not logically think it would be possible. I never dated in my school days. So along comes hubby. My hope was restored. We get married and a year later we are blessed with our first baby. Another almost 2 years later, we are blessed again with baby #2. While this has been the greatest gift in my life, the pounds continued to pack on. Over the past few years I have tried Weight Watchers twice. While I understand and believe in the method of WW, I found that keeping up with my points was falling to the waste-side. I lost about 15 pounds on WW and am very happy with every pound lost. But I still have a long road ahead to get to my ultimate goal weight and of course my goal pant size. 

A friend of mine came along and introduced me to a company called Advocare. After one meeting with some of the Advocare team leaders, I was hooked. A passion stirred inside me and I knew this would be the way to my goal pants. So here we are. I am about to start Advocare's 24 Day Challenge which is designed to cleanse your body of the waste. It gears your body up for weight loss, muscle tone, hunger management, overall wellness, and much more. It restores your body to where it needs to be by providing nutrients while you follow a clean eating meal plan. Just 24 days to start. I can do 24 days. Anyone can do 24 days. To learn more about the challenge, check THIS out. 

I'm excited to share my journey with you but note that I will not disclose weight or "before" pictures until I have lost some weight.

BE THE BEST YOU.
