Cleansing

Ooooooooooooooooh!  It's that time again.  So here's a really short story:

When I was 28, I became a Personal Trainer.  I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED being a personal trainer.  The main reason I became a trainer is that I love helping people feel good about themselves.  I prided myself on walking that line of pushing my clients hard, but also truly feeling what they were feeling & making sure they were getting well rounded sessions.  I was making great money & it never felt like work.  Then I met my husband & my training career took a turn for the worse.  Actually, all of my weight problems started when I got married.  My husband, as much as I love him, can be a real idiot about certain things.  Anyway, let's just leave it at my world crumbled at the hands of my husband, which in hindsight I wish I had been a stronger person. 

Then I worked at S Factor & truly had the biggest heartbreak of my life there.  It was the WORST PLACE EVER TO WORK.  I was humiliated in front of my peers & students & the people in charge there didn't give two shits about it.  It was awful.  I was scarred for years after I quit.  The one redeeming factor from working there is I made two great friends - Melissa & Leslie.  I will forever be grateful for that!  In the midst of my shitty life working at S Factor, I started teaching boot camps.  Boot camps were fun, but 5 am was way too early for me!!!  Don't worry, there is a reason I am bringing all of this up.  When I started teaching Boot Camp, that is when I was first introduced to AdvoCare.  I was so gung ho about AdvoCare because as a trainer, I was incredibly picky about what supplements to take.  Now, I don't think everyone needs supplements, but these actually work :)  So I bought into it & went straight to Advisor thinking I could make some mad bank selling this stuff.  Well that didn't happen because I hadn't been in the right mindset.  For years I haven't been in the right mindset.  Anyway, I taught boot camps for two years & made a buck or two off AdvoCare, but nothing life changing.  Fast forward to today...

As you know, I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.  The shame & embarrassment that has gone along with it could have been  crippling, but I am in the right mindset to conquer this.  I've been back & forth with food, blah, blah, blah, blah.  My point is....My weight loss has plateaued & that's only after 7 out of 50 lbs I need to lose.  So, it's too slow for me.  I still have back problems & the weight is still hindering my life.  I remembered the energy I felt when I drank a Spark & took ThermoPlus.  So I made an executive decision - I Am going to supplement to get me over the hump & then go from there.  The past couple of days, I have only been using Spark & TP & it's been great!  The energy I feel is not jittery & my appetite has really been suppressed!  A little too suppressed as I need to eat more. 

I was going to start my cleanse today, but remembered it is Father's Day, so I will start tomorrow.  I plan on blogging my cleanse experience (10 days), so stay tuned.  I am excited & look forward to the great shape I'll be in & NEVER look back.  When I am on my A game, I'm pretty unstoppable & I know the supplements, zig zag diet & just overall perseverance is going to get me where I need to go.  Thanks for taking the journey with me & talk to you soon!!!

Peace!
