A year ago as some of you may have heard me say before I was exhausted all the time never did much and praying for friends. I was just a stay at home mom and it had worn off I wanted a life beyond my kids. Please don't get me wrong I LOVE my kids with all my heart they are my world but I felt boxed in you might say. I needed something else. I was praying and I had been attending church again regularly so I had started stretching and trying to find something. One day I was at home of course and on Facebook when a person I knew(Josie) but not well (our kids went to school together) had posted something about weight loss and Energy. I didn't need to lose weight but I definitely needed ENERGY! I didn't respond right away I kept looking around on Facebook but something kept telling me to ask about the energy. I was kinda shy when it comes to meeting new people and self conscious about what people thought. I did ask and she gave me a Spark!little did I know it was the beginning of a Journey for me and my family.
Spark changed everything I instantly felt like a whole new person I fell in love with spark and Advocare. I had the energy to do more and wanted to do more. within days I was setting new goals and looking for new things to do. Josie started talking about Success School and running I wanted to do it all. I signed up and started training with Josie right away for the Half Marathon and took a big leap of faith and signed up for Success School in Texas. That was a beginning of a friendship and along the way through learning and her teaching me about Advocare and training me for a 13.1 mile run not only did I gain a friendship with Josie and others but I began to find myself and who I was.
My Husband also started using the products mostly to make me happy but he didn't think they would work so he wanted to prove that they didn't.He was very skeptical. I didn't know he even felt that way until after 3 months and he lost 35 lbs and was telling that story to someone else. He has lost 40 lbs and several inches he was in a tight 38 and now is in a 34 pant. Keeping it off successfully. Amazing.
So with My gain of energy, self confidence and friends and his loss of weight we knew there was something here. I started to read all the books the leaders were recommending including what my pastor recommended and just wanting to know everything I could. God had some things he wanted to teach me too. I had a little set back in my progress for Advocare But it was a huge growth spurt spiritually and it is all part of the journey. By putting my faith in my Creator and knowing that Advocare can change lives that together my faith and hard work will build an extraordinary life for not just me and my family but for all of those people lives that God lets me touch and be a part of.
The really cool part about this story is It's just the beginning. I have barely just begun and I am more than excited for my future and If I could lend you just a little of my excitement about what God has in store for me You might not be able to handle it because at times I feel like I could just explode with excitement.
