Get Sparked

You know what I love? Being able to get off work and go straight to the gym with kids and hubby in tow. I love it because I know that there is a place for the kids to play and be watched while my hubs and I can focus on our own bodies and spend some time working out without one of us having to quit too soon to chase a kid around. It's nice. Someone snuck a few pictures of me while I was working the weights. Embarrassing. 

So I started to do a little research on caffeine amounts. Because I feel so alert and energetic when I drink Spark (just 2x/day) I was curious about how it compares to other caffeinated drinks. Here is what I found:

It's amazing how different Spark makes me feel versus soda or coffee. It seems like soda has no caffeine effect on me, coffee has a caffeine effect for a little while and then I crave more coffee and end up drinking 2-3 cups a day just to feel sluggish and tired by dinner time. But with Spark, I feel like I am alert all the way through bedtime. When I have my 2nd Spark in the afternoon, it's not because I have a headache or I am feeling drowsy. It's because I feel good after I drink it. And it's nice to feel good all day long for a change. 

The hubs and I are starting to talk to more people about taking the 24 Day Challenge. It's exciting to get people interested in AdvoCare because I know we can be a part of changing people's lives. My hope is that our friends and family feel comfortable enough with us to reach out and say "I'm ready to take action and jump into the challenge to better my life"

BE THE BEST YOU.
