It's a Journey ~ My Journey

Learning a new way in life can be hard.  Actually accepting and achieving that new way is harder.  I'm on a "rest of my life" journey has been the hardest thing. 
There simply is no quick fix, no fad diet, no overnight solution. 
This is a daily struggle for me but it's one I've gown to love, crave and enjoy. 
 
 
I recently went for my physical and a full panel of blood work was done. Being 40...oh wait 41...GAH!!!  Well anyway...at this age you begin to think about things a bit more.  The dreaded series of routine tests they begin to do and suggest you have like getting your boobies flattened like bad example of a fluffy pancake!! 
For example:

You go in feeling like that fluffy dough ball on the left
and you come out feeling like it's friend on the right!
 
This machine = The Culprit!!!
 
 
What an experience that was!!  Still waiting for official results but was told everything looked fine.
 
So anyway, back to my physical......this year it was with a new PCP doc so of course blood work was needed.  I was fearful my cholesterol & triglycerides were going to be high as they were two years ago.  With my daddy having heart problems and my mama having a cholesterol issue (at no fault of hers), I was worried.  My results came back and thankfully everything was "NORMAL"! 
Me normal, yeah I'm not sure either?  lol :)  
 
All jokes aside, a little over 18 months ago I was introduced to a AdvoCare.  Something I initially put into the same category as a "fad diet".  My oh my, was I ever so wrong!!  Starting the AdvoCare 24 day challenge has changed my life & health forever!  These products are phenomenal.  This company is phenomenal and I can't imagine not ever being introduced.  I am getting stronger.  I am getting healthier and one day before too long I hope to be able to consider myself fit!  That is my goal just to be the absolute healthiest versions of me that I can.  I'm not competing with anyone but myself. 
I will succeed because this...is MY JOURNEY!!
