OMG O2 Gold! I *Heart* You!

When my journey in AdvoCare began mid-February, I had no idea how good I could feel striding on the Elliptical. Two toddlers, my own Pilates studio & household to manage - cardio was the last thing on my mind. I think that's why I needed AdvoCare in my life. I couldn't even imagine cardio because I was exausted watching the members of my gym on the machine! After a few days on Spark and Catalyst, I was spirited enough to give it a shot. Day 1 was a few minutes, watching how many calories burned, my level, my heart rate, The Ellen DeGeneres Show on the TV above. . . Day 24 was a was like a whole new ME. Seriously competing against myself, how many calories more can a burn in a shorter time than the day before, and using my core Pilates muscles "in and up" so I protect my back when I boosted from Level 4 to 8. It was fun until my ribs cramped and I felt like I couldn't breath!!!!!Then something AMAZING happened! I ordered a bottle of O2 Gold!!!
O2 Gold made me feel like my 4 year old daughter in tumbling class, an Energizer Bunny! My iPod was loaded with an hour of heart-pumping, leg-striding beats that haven't been played because after 15-20 minutes a shot, I'd be gasping like a fish out of water. This "third lung" plugged me into a whole new KEEP GOING "me" that lasted me 55 minutes at Level 7 (I could have gone longer, but my 19 month old needed a diaper change).
I'm love'n my O2 Gold, so if you like walking, cardio classes, or cardio machines to help you melt the fat with the rest of AdvoCare's success sytem of products - add O2 Gold, you'll be running the next marathon, 5K, 10K, etc.

The results speak for themselves . . . .

Oh yeah . . . 10 weeks ago, I would be squeezing myself into these shorts (Size 12), like last year wondering if I should just resort to buying a larger size. I was struggling with energy, ignoring my healthy eating knowledge, and feeling like I wasn't accomplishing everything I could day to day. I had been doing was body into "fat storage" mode instead of "fat burn" to regain the body I was meant to have was make the commitment to eat better, live healthier, have more "me time" and challenge myself for 24 days.

It began with a friend telling me about the "gentle & uneventful" Herbal Cleanse, and guiding me through the 24-Days to Fit Challenge. It was easy, tasty (the chocolate Meal Replacement Shakes for breakfast were awesome) and I melted 4 lbs away in the first 10 days. With the addition of my new found ENERGY from Spark and Catalyst the body fat continued to fall off around my muscles as I had mental focus to improve my schedule to allow for more personal workout time between my Pilates lessons. I continue to feel awesome, have TONS of ENERGY, and except for a few stretch-marks, there is no sign that my body had 2 babies within a 3 year time-span. I'm healthy, feel fitter than ever and more motivated teaching Pilates classes & lessons day after day and make time to get myself time to workout, chill-out, whatever.

This program has taught me how to eat right, enjoy a variety of foods that satisfy my body & lifestyle (without going hungry, since I love to eat) and the easy-to-follow directions & team support enabled me to get better than expected results. I liked the program so much that in March I became an AdvoCare distributor to help others on their personal journey to feeling healthy, happy, lose weight and have more energy, too. Let me know how much more you would like to get out of your life and I can start you on your personal journey to results.

{The 24-day challenge made me re-think about how I've been caring for my family's meal and snack needs. We now eat whole fruits, steamed veggies, lots of protein like chicken, lean beef and fish, whole-grains, drink tons of water, limited low-sugar juices (for the kids) & lots of Spark and Rehydrate for Mom & Dad!!! }
