As a cheerleading coach I get so much joy and excitement at the beginning of the year. There is a rush of emotions that comes with all the preparation and planning of training up a new squad. As the year progresses you learn everyone's strengths and weaknesses. You watch the kids interact with each other, with the players, with the crowd and with you. I personally fall in love with these girls more and more with every practice and every game we have. By the end of the season I am so sad and lost that it is all over. Now that we are in the "off season" I am counting down the days until tryouts. I am planning out my practices, finding new workouts, researching new uniforms and doing price comparisons on camps. I try to keep myself busy now so I can focus on the girls later. While I am always thinking about all things cheer I wonder ... What are my girls doing in their free time? It makes me happy to see pictures on their social media of them hanging out together, visit

It was the beginning of a new year and I was searching for an answer to my weight problem.  I was the heaviest I had ever been, and having a career in the beauty industry I had always felt the internal drive to get my weight under control, but found my habits were stronger than my motivation.  I needed a game changer in my life to help me put my plan into action.  When I became Zach and Heather Vogel’s nanny for their two young boys, I saw their energy and drive and began asking questions about how I could begin making some changes in my life.  I began with the 24-Day Challenge™ and dropped 10 pounds and 12 unwanted inches.* I regained energy and confidence in myself and had faith that this was a system that I could really stick with.* My purpose then became stronger than any fears I had amassed over the years and upon finishing my first 24 days, I have continued on my AdvoCare regimen and began exercising regularly.  I began introducing the Performance Elite line to my daily regimen

My AdvoCare Journey began July 23, 2013 because of my son. He was born in September 2001 and he was perfect. I had all the dreams that a father has when he finds out he’s having a boy. We were going to play catch, basketball and wrestle around and he was going to be my best bud. Life as weall know sometimes takes us in unknown directions, and I found myself spending much of his early childhood working and going to nursing school to be able to support my family. I traded an active lifestyle and those dreams, for the sedentary life of a student. Very soon I was overweight and unhappy, and I had no time to spend with my son. We all know that children spell love as TIME. In 2012 I graduated with my Nurse Practitioner degree and got a job in the healthcare field. I now had time to do things with my son, but I was 360 pounds. I had no energy and was a broken man physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In July of 2013 I was introduced to AdvoCare and took a chance on the 24-Day Challen
