Sign Me Up
So, here's my story. I am a wife and a mother. I love coffee and Diet Coke. It is a toss up which one I love more. I eat healthy and exercise, but by no means make an effort to lose weight. For years, I have talked about losing 10 pounds. I like to go out with friends, have drinks and laugh. I am just a normal lady who tries to lead a healthy and balanced life.
I have been a runner for years and have sort of maintained my weight by running. I have finished two marathons....and I emphasize the word "finished" because, although I didn't break any speed records, I did indeed finish. In fact, throughout my marathon journeys you might just find me taking a little break in the chair of a spectator, crying a little bit and continually complaining about how much my body hurts. Once I ran for the challenge, once I ran to raise money for my brother-in-law who was fighting ALS. In fact, without my running partner Nancy talking me through each mile, I quite possibly would have turned my ALS t-shirt inside out, exited the route and grabbed a cab home. I am 100% sure my brother-in-law would have approved of that move.
So, we have established that I love Diet Coke, I exercise to eat and am usually up for a good challenge. In enters my friend Liz. Liz and I have been friends for years. Liz is a Nutrition Coach, who enjoys a healthy lifestyle and also enjoys exercise. In the last year, Liz has started selling Advocare. I have witnessed Liz's amazing results and renewed energy. Stubbonly, I decided Advocare just wasn't for me. I watched as other friends tested the products and like Liz, starting losing weight, talking about amazing energy, leaner bodies, better skin and healthy hair. Still no interest. Ok, a little interest.
Yesterday, I found myself at Liz's Advocare lunch party. Many of my favorite friends were there. Add drinks, snacks and dice and it could have been Bunco night. Liz served a healthy lunch and a delicous lemony Advocare drink. Honestly, my first reaction was "I bet this would be good with vodka". After comparing notes, I wasn't the only who thought that. I could feel a presentation coming on. I am not a fan of presentations, Power Points or product reviews. I found myself engaged and inspired. What is happening?
I repeat, I like a good challenge. So, what caught my attention? Apparently, it is called The 24 Day Challenge. What is The 24 Day Challenge, you ask? I have a vague idea of what is going to happen, but I don't know all of the details yet. I find out on Monday exactly what I have signed up for. Stay tuned and you can take the journey with me. I promise to be honest, post results and describe how the process works.
In the meantime, if you are interested in finding more about Liz, you can visit her Nutrition and Wellness Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/lizblom.nutritionandwellness
More to come on Monday.....
