It's No Secret!

We're back and ready to kick off 2013!


...And it's no secret now that Melissa and I have made Advocare part of what we do! With months of testing and learning all about Advocare and the way the company works, we have decided to hit it with full force! We have put ourselves around so great leaders and business mentors. We have learned a lot and are on an amazing journey! We are excited
and are going to rock out 2013! 

Our Story, I found Advocare thru my CrossFit Coach and was a little hesitant. I'm a full time photographer and didn't want the business to get in the way of my photography business. Although I had spent the past month on products and they made me feel amazing and I was healthy, I still wasn't interested in the business side of Advocare. She talked with me about the 20% discount and as a business man if I could get a discount on something I would. So I signed up to get a 20% discount....three weeks later someone bought some product from the free website I got as signing up as a member....and I made $31.00! I was floored! "You mean to tell me that Advocare is going to send me $31.00!?" Is what I was thinking. So I asked about how the business and the next week I made $500, then the next week I made a little over $500! I was stoked! All I had to do was share my story...people in my life get healthy and I get paid. Doesn't seem right, does it?

Well, now Melissa and I make about $1000.00 extra a month! We have committed to help anyone that wants to get healthy and or make some extra money every month. If you one of those people, feel free to contact us. 

Joshua and Melissa


Advocare has over 80 world class products and are formulated by amazing Dr's here in the US. Pro Athletes like Drew Brees have been taking Advocare Products for years! Check out the list here.

Down 5

So it's day 7 on the new cleanse and I am down 5 lbs. I am feeling great and energetic! But the best part is... I have around 8 people doing the 24 Day Challenge and I am getting texts from them say how good they feel and how much fat that have lost! 

Here are a few:

"Day 13 and Ive lost 9 pounds. I feel great and still full of energy!" -Cory S.

"9 inches off in 10 days!!!" -Stephanie B.

"So Excited. Day 11 of Challenge. Jerry has lost 4 lbs. and a total of 4 inches. I have lost 8 lbs. and a total of 10 inches. Yea US. We are moving forward." -Kathi C. 


I get excited that I can help people kickstart their journey to health. Just this morning I had a friend text me and they ordered a Challenge! They are ready to feel great, lose fat and have more energy! 

On a side note, this is what I had for lunch today at a local Burger joint here in Austin. Hopdoddy, it's such an amazing place. If you are ever in Austin, contact me and we'll go have a good burger! 

**lettuce wrapped burger with bacon and avocado**

If you or anyone you know are wanting to feel great, lose some weight and have more energy, send me an email. (send email)

Have a great Sunday!

Day 3: Second Cleanse

I'm on my second cleanse using the 24 Day Challenge! It's the third day and I'm feeling great! At the last minute on Sunday, I decided to join Melissa on her first 24 Day Challenge, then to couple the Performance Elite Products from Advocare on the 11th day of the challenge. The thinking behind this is that the 10 day cleanse will rid my body of toxicants and get it ready to take in all the nutrients of the Performance Elite products. So on day 11 I will take photos and measurements, then 24 day from that point I will take "after" photos and measurements. I am supper excited about this new journey. I have never felt better, physically  meanly and emotionally! 


*I will be doing CrossFit 3-4 times a week. 
*I will be eating Paleo


Have a great week, chose today to be healthy. Feel free to ask me any questions!

A New Challenge!



After losing over 50lbs and kicking my butt in CrossFit, I have found out something new about my body. It reacts well to Nutrition and Working Out! I have seen more changes in the past two weeks than over the past three months! I am getting what Melissa calls the "Brad Pit" abs below the belt line. Putting together what I call the trifecta: Nutrition, Exercise and Product (Advocare) has pushed me to the next level in life and my workouts. With this in mind, I have decided to do a new 24 Day Challenge with Advocare's Performance Elite Products. This will be a combination of a continued Paleo Plan, at least 4 workouts a week and The Performance Elite Timeline. *below*



This is the list of Products in the Challenge:;



This is a new challenge and is not the same as the 24 Day Challenge, I would recommend doing the 24 Day Challenge before you start this Challenge. The 24 Day Challenge is a great kick start to your health! If you have any question about any of this information, feel free to contact me! 



Here's to Health and Fitness

24 Days an beyond!


I am excited - my Mom and Dad are starting their 24 Day Challenges on Monday! A few other friends, and my girlfriend have decided to do the challenge as well. I am so glad that my experience has inspired them to kick start their journey to being healthy! It's hard to think that I spent 12 years thinking that the way I felt and looked at that time was "just how it is." Several months ago I found out within five days, that it's not true! I realized that I can look and more importantly FEEL amazing. I started my journey with the 24 Day Challenge coupled with clean nutrition and CrossFit and I have completely changed my life and my perspective on life. I now feel healthy physically, emotionally and mentally. 

I know some of you  might say..."This guy has chugged the whole gallon of kool-aid!" Well, if you consider Spark as kool-aid...then yes I have! And I'm extremely grateful for that!  

I am stronger than I was three months ago. I can run longer. I can focus longer on one given task. I have a clearer thought process. And I'm truly happier because I'm healthier. Happy hasn't been in my vocabulary for years. This change has opened my life up in so many ways. I went from barley having a business to taking on 4 different businesses. That is huge for me! Being able to focus on one thought was hard enough but to be able to handle so much in one day would be such a difficult challenge if I wasn't healthy. So, you can see how changing just a few small things can change everything and make your life better! I would challenge anyone to make some changes and see what happens. Blog, write, video your experience! Get out and do something! 


Please, feel free to ask me any questions on what/where/when and how I did this. I want to help other people feel the way I do now. 


"I do not want to be on my death bed and say "I should have!" Therefore I CrossFit!"

With a determined mind and a great Coach, I have completely changed my life. A few weeks into my life change I decided to do the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I have to say from the start I was thinking..."Really? is this going to do anything for me!?" Well, after the first 3 days I saw a change in my energy, body and my mind! I woke up with energy and mental clarity that lasted all day, my cravings for sugar and processed foods diminished and I felt great about feeding my body the nutrients that it really needed.

Day17: Rest and Hyperwear

There are times when you just need to listen your body. I have been running and gunning for two week straight and this morning my body said to sleep. I wake up every other morning around 7:30am, 5:00am on workout days. But this morning I slept till 10:00am. It was a well needed rest. I have spent the day shirtless admiring my new body and sending emails. Don't be jealous! HAHA!

The Start

This Fitness Blog is going to be nothing but me talking about my journey into getting healthy and in a much better shape than the last 30 years of my life. When I turned 30 back in February I realized there were things I couldn't do because of the state my body was in. I wanted to change that, and the only way was to change what I ate and to start working on my "Fitness." I started to run...haha started, I could only run about 50 meters and i was done. I didn't give up though within a week or so I was running around 2 miles a day. I stopped drinking the 600 calories a day in Dr Pepper and switched to water, dropped 10lbs in a week and ran ran ran. I decided I needed something more than just running so I had an idea. My cousin and his wife started a CrossFit Box down in SouthEast Texas were I grew up. Because I live in Austin and I know no one in the CrossFit community I did some research on the inter-webs and found a few Boxes in Austin. I look into the closes one to me and emailed them. I am a photographer by trade and I figured I could offer them Photography Services in-trade for a membership. They seemed interested, so we set a date for me to come and to take some photo's during one of the classes. The pictures turn out great, I was pleased. The CrossFit Box decided to pass, not sure why but I wasn't going to give up. So I kept looking. A few weeks later, a friend of my cousin contacted me and told me she was opening a new CrossFit in Austin and would like to meet. So this starts my journey with CrossFit Rep! There is a smokn' deal going on right now if you are in Austin and would like to try out CrossFit. Check it out here
