Day 14

After a very productive and active day, I am spent! I kicked the day off with a Spark, then managed to clean the house, sweep the garage and wander into pulling weeds on the side of the house, all before 10. There is something to say about getting all the house chores complete in the morning. I love enjoying a clean house for the rest of the weekend. Or until one of the wee-ones manages to bring destruction back to the house. Which doesn't take long by the way. We took the kids to the YMCA today and let them play while we hit the weights room. The hubs made me do bench presses today. I have NEVER done bench presses. My arms have always been my weakest area, not to mention I used to be really self conscious if any part of my shoulder was showing in the clothes I wore. Don't get me wrong...I benched the bar...just the bar. No weights added. It was hard for me! I had already done a bunch of other weight machines before the bench press so I blame the weak muscles on the fact that I was tired and not just struggling to press the bar. 

I took Landon to the Produce Patch in our neighborhood this afternoon to pick up some fresh fruits and veggies. It will be so nice when I can pick the tomatoes from our garden rather than buy decent ones at the store. We picked up some strawberries that were delicious. In fact, I mashed them up and added them to my balsamic dressing for my garden spinach salad. You may think it sounds weird. But you need to try it. So flavorful and colorful.

You know that feeling when you have a package expected to be delivered and you start watching the front door like a hawk? Well that was me...all day. Actually starting yesterday. My AdvoCare distributor box was set to arrive yesterday, until the carrier changed the date on me at the last minute. Like really last minute. My box finally arrived at about 7:30 tonight. I am so excited because it contains samples of Spark and SLAM (a liquid vitamin & amino acid supplement power drink). Now I have tangible items to share with those that are interested in AdvoCare. This will be a game changer. It's one thing to talk about how the challenge has been for me. It's another to be able to share the energy, tastiness and effectiveness of the products. Yay!

Let's get Sparked!

BE THE BEST YOU.
