Can a cleanse really be enjoyable?

Well here it is Day 8 of the cleanse and I feel amazing!  It's funny when I share with people that I'm doing a cleanse, they usually step back a little, or looked shocked that I'm in public.  That is usually followed by a horror story of them trying some 2 day cleanse and being stuck um, well, in the potty for hours.

That makes me chuckle because this cleanse is everything the others are not.  It isn't harsh, it doesn't have you tied up in the bathroom for hours, you don't feel awful.  Rather it is gentle, you have more energy, you feel amazing, and with each day that goes by, you feel better, healthier, lighter!

My hope is that people who are scared of cleanses will give this one a try because it will literally change your life.  I know many people out there who have done Advocare's Herbal Cleanse and experienced the same amazing results.  Can I get an AMEN?

Herbal Cleanse - Day 6 and Feeling Great

Can I just say that I love the cleanse phase?  I really do . . . if you haven't done the cleanse this probably sounds crazy to you because let's face it, who enjoys cleaning out your system, who enjoys starting a weight loss plan or let's get healthy plan?

This is my 3rd time doing the 24 Day Challenge (I do one every 90 days) and it never disappoints!!  The cleanse is gentle, you get to eat lots of great foods, you never feel hungry AND the biggest reason I love it so much is, when the toxins are purged from your body, there goes the cravings for bad foods.

I feel strong, and the eating is under my control.  This is a complete contrast to how most of my life has been.  I spend a lot of days where the food has me under it's control and I have to fight to make wise choices. This cleanse is magical for sure!!

I can tell I have lost some inches and I would imagine a little weight, but I'm holding out till I'm done with the cleanse for my first weigh in and measurements.

Here's to health and feeling amazing!  Happy Sunday everyone!!

Spring Has Sprung . . . Let's do this!!

Today is Day 1 of my 3rd 24 Day Challenge!!  I am so excited!!  Let me ask you . . . when you get ready to start a weight loss journey or a get healthy journey, are you excited?  Most of my life I have dreaded getting started.  It is a huge undertaking to get mentally ready to "diet".  No one can help you get ready . . . you have to be ready or you will fail.

Well, finally after many decades of yo yo dieting, I've found something that (1) is not a diet and (2) is such an amazing get healthy plan, that my yo yo weight gain is no longer an issue.  The 24 Day Challenge has changed my life.  I am on a life long journey to be as healthy as I can be and when you have Advocare products in your body, you are set for life!!

Here's the nitty gritty - every 90 days I do a 24 Day Challenge.  The first 10 days is the Herbal Cleanse and this is my favorite part!!  This purges the toxins from my body, all while eating great foods and taking the supplements.  You know how a car runs more efficiently when you get the oil changed?  Our bodies are the same way . . . our bodies will run more efficiently when we get the toxins out.  What causes toxins to build up in your body?  Lots of things contribute to it  . . . stress, soft drinks, sugary foods, processed foods, alcohol, pollution, and the list goes on.

So today is day 1, I've had my Spark and Catalyst, I had my fiber drink and my breakfast which consisted of:  2 eggs scrambled with spinach, a piece of whole wheat toast, and berries.  YUM!

Just a note here . . . I got started on this Advocare journey because I was stressed beyond belief being the caretaker of my mom and dad.  Having a mom with moderate stage Alzheimer's and a dad who was in and out of the hospital every few months was slowly killing me.  I was broken, I was exhausted, running on empty, and making terrible food choices because of spending so much time sitting in hospital rooms/rehab facilities.  My friend offered me some Spark samples . . . she reached out to me because she knew I was in a bad place.  I loved Spark and decided to hop on a 24 Day Challenge (because what could it hurt?) and it literally changed my life!!! I knew I had to pass it on, pay it forward.  So here I am . . . paying it forward!

Here's to health my friends!!

2014 Starting off on a healthy note

Day 1 of my 2nd 24 Day Challenge was on January 1, 2014.  I'm reaping the benefits of the cleanse already because it is Day 8 and I'm down 4.8 lbs.

This program is a breeze; it really is!!  You eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains for your meals, and you have a snack in between your meals.  You don't get hungry at all and for me that's the key to success.  I've tried so many other weight loss plans but I was hungry all the time.

On top of those benefits, during the first 10 days you are detoxing your body and trust me . . . the energy you get from eating clean and detoxing is amazing!!

In 2 more days I'll be starting the Max Phase.  This is more of the same meal plan, but adding supplements because my body will be ready to absorb all the great vitamins.

Want to know a secret?  Right now the 24 Day Challenge is discounted for anyone who wants to jump on the health train with me.  The picture below shows the products you will receive in the challenge bundle.  If you want to take advantage of the sale on the 24 Day Challenge, contact me @ cindysims@fuse.net.  I'll walk you through what it is all about and share the excitement.
