Yesterday i finished the 10 day Advocare Herbal Cleanse. It was not at all what i expected. i expected to be stuck by the bathroom. i wasn't.. i started on a Friday (work day) & i was alittle scared but had NO problems. Drinking the morning fiber drink was wierd the first couple of times.. kinda like drinking apple sauce.. but the taste was not bad at all. The secret is to put 8 oz of water in a water bottle & shake it up real good & down it. As you know the longer any fiber drink sits it grows..

i can't believe how much better i feel. No, the pain isn't gone (yet) but i feel better than i have felt in years. i have more energy than i have had in years.

i wasn't going to take my measurements again after 10 days because i felt like that was too soon to show anything but Stacy said since i was finishing one product & going to start another one i should so i did. Deb took my measurements this morning. i have lost 8 total inches!! i lost inches in every area (bust, waist, hips, leg & arms). i have also lost 10 pounds.. Thank you Jesus and Advocare!!

Other than loosing weight & inches the most exciting thing for me is that i don't crave sweets anymore. i would go to bed with Ben & Jerry almost every night. Not a dip but a pint. i also haven't had a diet coke. i hated water but now i crave it. it is amazing!!!

Today i started the Advocare MNS (Metabolic Nutritional System) Max 3 this is the weight loss system. Please pray for me that God would bless me as I try to reclaim HIS temple. I have been such a poor witness to my daughter, my friends & my co-workers. I preach all the time that MY GOD CAN DO ANYTHING... but yet I weighed more than some NFL defensive lineman. With God's help & Advocare I will get my temple back to a place that would bring HIM glory.

See you next week.

May 29, 2009 Day 1

I can't believe i'm doing this in front of my friends but I can't do it without your prayer support. I am starting a weight loss & nutritional program using Advocare. JJ (one of my former students has lost weight) & I decided to give it a try. I became a distributor so that I could get a discount. If you would like to check out Advocare here is my website www.advocare.com/09053837 There are all kinds of products not just weight loss.


In 1 Corinthians 6:19 (New International Version) it says," Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;" ... well i have not taken care of the temple. But with God's help that stops today.



Today starts Day 1 of cleaning the temple. I rarely put anything of nutritional value in my body. So that's where Advocare comes in. For 10 days I will be going through detox. You can't put good clean food in a dirty body.. so I will be taking an herbal cleanse, a fiber drink & a meal replacement shake for breakfast & then eat fruit, vegetable & lean meat . Obviously.. I'm going to spare you'll the details of this part of the journey.



I took before pictures which i will post as soon as i learn how to do that.. I also took measurements & weighed. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to post that or if I will just tell how many pounds I loose each week. Let's just say i need to loose at least 125 pounds.

Please remember to pray for me because without God's help I won't last a day. On my own I have NO will power.

I will post weekly if you want to follow my progress.
