Major Balancing Act

Who knew that balancing three college classes, trying to get fit and healthy, homeschooling one child and keeping the other entertained could be so tiring!!  It was so crazy and tough last quarter that I severely slacked on trying to eat healthy.  After that my workouts became non-existent and eating healthy went out the window.  Now that spring quarter has started I am a lot more excited because I only have 3 classes this quarter and the stress level has dropped dramatically for me...YAY!!



Now with spring quarter going I am three days into the Jamie Eason LiveFit Trainer and can't wait to see progress pictures.  I do allow myself a dessert once a week but the food plan has me eating a lot of healthy foods which keep me full.  So much that I have to force myself to eat as much of my snacks as possible, and same with lunch and dinner.  It's a chore to try and eat all the healthy yumminess! But I took some pictures so I could see the changes as I go and have something else to go off of besides the scale and measurements.  With school I started having really REALLY late nights as well, which means I have had to work on getting my body back on a good and normal schedule, although my vacation to California last week seems to have put me back on a normal schedule.

I would like to start waking up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the mornings to try and get my workouts in before the girls are up.  Although I have not been able to get up quite that early yet.  I am determined to slowly work my way to getting up that early and then doing my workouts in the morning instead of at night.

I started the Jamie Eason Livefit Trainer and am 3 days in now.  I cannot wait to get my 24-day Challenge from Advocare tomorrow to start that as well!  Super excited for the changes ahead and this time I took measurements as well as starting pictures to share along with the progress photo's I will be taking.

Here is to starting (yes again I know) my journey to a new me and to actually pushing myself to make time for myself because I am worth it!

AdvoCare Success Story: Tanner Carroll

I don't know about you guys but I LOVE hearing about people's Success Stories with Advocare.  I love seeing how they have changed their lifestyles and are now living happier healthier lives!  It doesn't get any better than that.  Awesome job Tanner Carroll!!  

All my life I have struggled being overweight.  Many times I got made fun of in school, came home very upset, and was weary to return.  When football came along, I was the starting center on the varsity football squad and my weight turned into an acceptable thing.  When football ended my senior year, I had the same appetite, but less activity to burn the many extra calories I had been accustomed to eating.  

I entered my freshman year of college at around 270 pounds.  By March of that following year, I weighed in at a whopping 284 pounds.  I knew then that I needed to lose weight!

I slowly started looking at different options and finally came across a friend of mine, Adam Gibbons, who had taken the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge and had amazing success.  After consulting with him and learning more about the products, mom, dad, and I started the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge!  On the 24th day, I looked at the scale and was amazed to find that I had lost 24 pounds!  I have since continued the products and have lost a total of 80 pounds.  I can't express how much AdvoCare has changed my life, and am so happy to tell people more about these amazing products!

New Year Advocare 24-Day Challenge!

It's the new year and I have my back doing better again so time to kick it off with a BANG!  This year is the year of change for me.  Between my back, going to school full time, and being a full time mommy of two the last 4 months got away from me.  Talk about depressing when thinking about how you fell off the wagon! BUT I am not going to dwell on that...I am going to start again and try to have better time management and not take way too many things on at once.  I am doing this with a friend so it should be a lot of fun and I am excited to start it with her!  I was going to start earlier but she wanted to do it with me so I am waiting for her to get her challenge in the mail so that we can do it together.

I am going to try and eat food that is not processed, or at least limit it to a very small amount.  I have heard a lot about the Paleo diet and learning more about what you can and cannot eat on it as well.

Again sorry for the temporary hiatus from posts!
