Our Introduction

I just wanted to stop in and introduce ourselves first and foremost. I am Valerie, and my husband is Blake. We decided to start this blog to have a record of our journey to get healthier.
We fought with our weight for years and tried to lose, but never had much success. After 3 kids, I knew I needed to do something, but nothing seemed to do the trick. 
In September of 2011, my mom passed away suddenly at 46 years old of a massive heart attack. The next week, Blake was diagnosed with a heart condition. We knew we HAD to do something SOON.
We continued to try eating right and doing what we could, but we just couldn't seem to lose more than a pound or two here and there. 
We were introduced to Advocare by a friend and researched it for a few months before taking the plunge. We signed up in February of 2013 and purchased our own 24 Day Challenges. A month later, we were both down 20+ pounds and quite a few pants sizes smaller. We had more energy than we had ever had before and felt amazing! 
Everywhere we went, friends would ask what we were doing to lose the weight. We'd tell them about the challenge. We hit Advisor level in less than 2 months!
We are now in the middle of our second challenge. (Day 11 and each down 10 pounds!) We are averaging $200 a month in extra income right now, but plan to watch that number increase exponentially. 
If you have any questions about the challenge, our weight loss journey, or anything else, just email us!
