SuperWomen of Today with HPA: Advocare

I absolutely love being able to support working women! Us moms (and wives) work hard and no one understands everything that we do, go through, and try to get accomplished in a single day. Not even our husbands. We are the only ones that get it, and get each other! 

I thought it would be fun to start a new series, and introduce you to the SuperWomen of today! The women that raise their children, work outside of the home, and still continue to have an extra job! These my friends, are amazing women that I'm going to introduce you to over the next few weeks! They are true SuperWomen!!!

Today, I'm introducing you to a long time friend, Carrie Smith. Carrie and I go way back, like, preschool, elementary school back. She and I grew up in the same church, and thanks to the inter webs, we are still great friends! Carrie is as sweet as ever, thoughtful, caring, and has the best inner-heart. 

Carrie's words are in Italics below. 

This is her story......

  In January 2014,  I found myself in a dressing room at a Bridal Boutique crying my eyes out; dreading trying on wedding dresses and deep-down was fearful of even getting married due to how I felt about myself and what I saw in the mirror.  I was the largest I’d ever been, had zero self-confidence, and felt terrible from the inside out. 

A childhood friend reached out to me about doing an Advocare 24-Day Challenge.  She knew I had struggled with my weight my whole life and had tried every diet plan known to man! She also knew I was getting married and that I needed this! It was time to make a change!

  I am SO THANKFUL she came to me and told me about the 24 Day Challenge.  I lost 14 pounds in my first challenge! In 2014 alone, I lost 50 pounds and shed 10 inches off my waist!!!!

 I was truly happy on my wedding day and didn’t have a single worry about my appearance and I enjoy going back and looking at my wedding pictures. 

You guys, isn't she a stunning bride!!!! 

The photo on the left is her before picture. The photo on the right is on her wedding day! The change is astonishing! 

My goal is to lose an additional 50 pounds in 2015.  

I asked Carrie to tell me a little more about Advocare and why she decided to be a sales rep, and this is what she said: 

Advocare offers solutions for increased energy, weight loss, weight management, sports performance, and overall wellness.  There are over 70 products available that are all formulated by a science medical board with over 250 years combined experience, and our products are tested for safety by informed choice.

  

We have 5 lines that are available:

1. Trim

2. Well

3. Active

4. Performance Elite

5. Skincare

I love AdvoCare because it has given me increased energy and has helped me lose over 50 pounds and get back in the same size jeans I wore in college!

Carrie is currently an Account Manager for an Insurance Agency in Little Rock, AR., newly married to my husband, Bryan, who is in car sales.  She has 4 Labrador retrievers, and she and her hubby are avid Razorback football fans and love to travel.

If you're interested in trying Advocate for yourself you can contact Carrie here. You can also email Carrie and ask her about the 24 day challenge groups that she runs throughout the year! Her last group lost an average of 9 lbs and 11 inches!

She even sent me a spark drink to try, and it was super yummy! 

I hope you'll all contact Carrie and get more information for yourself, whether you're trying to loose weight, or just get healthy, I think you'll be super impressed with the results!

Thanks Carrie for letting me pick your brain and for sharing your journey with us!
