How To Lose Weight and Be Strong with Advocare and The 24 Day Challenge

I will write what I feel. 

And today it is JOY, ELATION and EXCITEMENT!

ANOTHER relative has decided to join me on the @Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I am ELATED! I love my family. I want to be selfish and keep them around forever. I want them to have HAPPY and HEALTHY lives. I want them to have the JOY I do everyday being able to move about free from as many pills and potions as possible. Some people do need them. But if there are medications that can be exchanged for cardio vascular or strength training and exercise, then PLEASE SIGN ME UP!

I watch my mom die last year. And as I said, there is nothing quite like the smell, the actual smell of someone dying. I won’t ever forget it. Many feeling rush through you.

“What more could I have done?” “What more could THEY have done.” We become selfish, wishing we had just one more day.

I am secretly furious when I see people abusing their bodies and being unhealthy. Smoking, excessive drinking, over eating… it kills me when I see it. Because I have such a LOVE for people. I’ve said things to friends in the past and it falls on deaf ears. They all say the same thing… “I’ve got to die of something.”

Then die on your own time. Cause seriously, I don’t want to go through that again. Especially when so much can be prevented or avoided. I want to just pass in my sleep. I don’t want to be hooked to a bunch of machines and have the people around me suffer. And I put my money where my mouth is. I do the best I can through diet AND exercise NOW so I’m not left in my later years in a tizzy. All we can do is try. So I ask the people reading to do that.

My father saw what I saw times 1000 over. He’s get my mom videos, DVDs, books… she just didn’t have the will any more. But that didn’t stop him. Even though his spouse was weak and not into our food choices, my father stayed on his path. I knew the moment I can one one trip and saw cherry juice by the gallons something was up. He had cancer. And suddenly the house was packed with Kale, Spinach, juices and green tea. He was going to kick its ass and he did.

Preventative. Isn’t it the key to keeping everything in life good? Relationships? Friendships? Work? Health? People, you have to try.

My dad has been going to the gym EVERY day now for weeks. I can’t even tell you how this makes me feel. Because I hear in his voice how HE feels. The confidence, the strength. A crippled and disabled man is in that gym taking names and numbers and showing up people half his age. He said he could feel his muscles stretching out and growing stronger. His arthritis is going away. His blood pressure is going down. He FEELS and ACTS like someone 20 years younger!

One of my most FAVORITE 73 year old aunts has started as well, going EVERY day to the gym. Her sense of community and friendship circle has gotten bigger and so has her smile. She is growing stronger and stronger by the day. A Vietnam Vet and a shining example to out country’s heritage and history, she just glows these days and has incorporated health and fitness into her daily regime. I am ELATED!

A VERY Beautiful Video for those PROVING it is NEVER too late to START caring about your #HealthAndFitness I WATCH this when I need to #Motivation!

As if that wasn’t enough, ANOTHER favorite Aunt emailed today saying SHE too will be starting the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I’m about to crap myself. I can’t even handle this. I know she thinks she will lose a few pounds, but folks, OMG, it’s SO much more than that.

You are put on a 24-day regime. That weather you like it or not will teach you and form habits that you just take with you forever. You see just how LITTLE water you drink a day. How much exercise you are NOT doing all this time and the food choices that you NEED To make. The #Spark Energy drink has the same amount of #Caffeine as a cup of coffee. But java isn’t packed with vitamins, minerals and amino acids. This stuff is like a magic potion. The only draw back is I want to work and PLOW through projects ALL night! Lol. I have to force myself to stop doing the things I love because I know I need the sleep. J

Since being on the 24 Day Challenge I have gotten MORE projects started and FINISHED than in the last year. The #MENTAL #FOCUS you have on the program due to supplements is CRAZY! It’s all safe, natural, herbal and #AMAZING!

I know my Aunt will find the joy, happiness, focus and drive I have the last 19 days of being on this remarkable program. It’s ALL there for YOU too. Just follow the booklet and check things out from time to time online.

I also offer some pretty cool recipes on www.YouTube.com/GoldyLocksFitness and www.FaceBook.com/goldylocksfitness

I’m on day 19 and have lost 7 lbs of REAL fat. Not just a colon cleanse or waste from a fast. Real weight. I’m pumped. I fit into some clothes I haven’t in years. And I’m not stopping after the challenge. I will be going into the #NewYear with a #Vengeance! Lol I want to be where I was in college size wise. It will take work, but I will be just extending my life and the quality of in in with the process. WIN, WIN!!

Here is where YOU can ORDER and READ about the @Advocare #24DayChallenge to kick start YOUR weight loss and healthy living!

If you already use some of Advocare, bars, shakes, #Spark Energy drink, seriously consider becoming a distributor and joining MY team. J. You pay a joining fee just like Sam’s Club and it’s good for a year. Get your product on the discount. There is no pressure with Advocare. There is NO minimum to sell. In fact, people will see you using the products and ask about it. And you will sell some without even trying… and you just PAID for your distributor fee. I paid for mine within THREE days of joining.

People I’m excited. I’m not selling some candy bars here. I’m representing a company that is improving the lives of the people I love. What’s not to smile about?!! :-)

Why listen to me? Well, I came across this pic a few weeks back by accident. I smiled at first, then a tear came to my eye. Wow, with the exception of some wrinkles on my face due to dealing with "baby A-Holes in my life" I basically look the same! Lol. I must be doing something right?

So let me SHARE what I'm doing! I've been using Advocare for many years. I can tell you WHAT works and how to use it. I love to help and just LOVE people. So stick around!

Kicking Cats Down Stairs

Tonight I have to CELEBRATE the people in my life who do so MUCH for animals! I myself have a little rescue puss I drove 6 hours to get. She was terrified after years of being kicked down a basement staircase... a man who owned her used my little #AnnieTheSexual puss as a football. :-( It was THREE years before my 6 lb cat would come out from behind the couch.

Annie is just so "Sexual", that she will only show one "eye" to me. Lol. 
Like the face of either God, or Medusa... 

She thinks the sight of her COMPLETE face is too much for the human eye... Lol.

Actual pics of #AnnieTheSexual Puss showing "1 eye & 1 eye only."

Just recently she started coming around. She says one little meow, or finds a spot on my bed, for just a few minutes, sneezes on me and leaves... 

but what a huge step for puss kind.

I saw some friends a few months ago. You have to understand these precious people LIVE dogs. They are ALL about their pets. :-) So many have been rescues or foster pups that they've adopted. These people are incredible and need to be acknowledged. ALL people adopting and giving an animal a second chance should be rewarded.

Blake Kuehn and Celeste Brecht you are just remarkable human beings making such a difference in your dog's lives. I couldn't not BELIEVE the difference in Ellie when I came. She actually came by and showed her affection. What a beautiful dog you have. 

It's easy to go get some new shinny puppy or kitten from a pet store. But sometimes the greatest gifts don't come all wrapped up in big bows. I'm just asking you all to remember at the holiday season, an animal is a HUGE responsibly and like a child, they cost money to "raise". So if you are intending on getting one as a gift, please pay special mind to their needs too. They have them. They may not have a voice, but being able to take care of them, let them out, feed them quality food, get them their shots and proper medical attention is the minimum.

If you are getting one of these precious creatures PLEASE consider buying from a shelter or adoption center. And especially the older guys. Omg, they make the BEST pets ever. They know they are on borrowed time and the truly show their appreciation.

The best example I have other than my own Annie, is the @MarnieTheDog Internet sensation. God love this precious dog and the woman who recued her. The story is absolutely beautiful. Read it here, it's heartwarming. http://marniethedog.tumblr.com/about

See a quick vine of Marnie as well. I promise it will make you smile. https://vine.co/v/On2wdIjVYLg

THANK YOU to all who go out of your way to be kind to animals. 
My favorite patron Saint is Saint Francis. 
I leave you with this quote and meme.

Whom I’m “Doin?"

Lot’s of speculation goin on. From my posts I’m sure you think it’s one of the eligible senior citizen’s I speak so candidly about. Sorry fellas but you gotta have a ball to play ball. ;-) Lol. And to that African Colonel Sanders in Kenya? 

No can do chicky… Lol

 Yes, this is a photo from an ACTUAL man trying to court me from Kenya. Don't hate. You know you wish you were me... Meh.

I don’t know who asks me more, supporters or my own dad @TomTheConserv about WHOM I’m dating! Lol. The consensus seems to be… our DRUMMER! 

Rod Saylor! Whoooooo!!!!! 

Cat’s out of the bag. Actually it’s not. Cause I’m not dating him :-)

Do you know that I try and avoid public places on Valentine’s Day? Yup. It makes me cringe and feel woozy. All the dudes especially, running out to the grocery store to buy some old dying bouquet of flowers for their “loved one” in the hopes of scoring points and maybe getting lucky that night… Over it.

Or we see them all scuffling into some mall jewelry store picking out the cheapest 

“On Sale” pendant that “looks” good, just so they can say they “remembered.” Gag…

Come one, who reading this doesn’t know what I’m talking about? Lol.

I’m not dating my drummer, but I’m in love with him. I’m in love with all my band mates. And why shouldn’t I shout that from the mountaintop? Why is it that we wait for holidays, and birthdays and “society made” events that are commercialized for us all to feel “pressured” into “remembering?”  to do something for someone? What does that really prove anyway?

Why can’t EVERY day and EVERY week be a chance and an opportunity to tell the people you appreciate and love, how thankful you are to have them in your life?

Why don’t more men just stop and pick up some damn flowers when they don’t have to? Or plan a surprise for their partner for no reason? How about you just notice something about her and give her the compliment? Because you WANTED to, not because “Every little frickin Kiss starts with KAY?”

Women, when is the last time you really ASKED your man or partner WHAT they even do all day? How they feel? What accomplishments they’ve done or awards they have been given? Do you know the name of your significant other’s co-workers? Do you ever stop and just ask them to vent? Or when is the last time you shaved your legs, waxed the real estate, put on your finest fragrance and waited for that special person by the door in nothing but a coat and heels? :-)

Your life doesn’t need to be mundane, boring, run of the mill… the “same ole same ole”. But the producer of the movie is YOU. And if you’ve been to a crappy flick, then you know, someone didn’t put in the time. So if your relationship is “lacking” in the steam department, maybe ask yourself… when is the last time I really TRIED?

This holiday season is about a little kid who was born years ago. The only people really giving two rips were scientists and astrologists who followed are read stars. There was no reason to really travel that distance, but they saw something the rest of the people did not. These cats weren’t even Jewish. They honestly had no business riding through long nights on some camels. But they saw something the rest of us didn’t. They knew it was important and without ANYONE telling them what to do, they followed their hearts, and showed with ACTION what was inside.

I think we ALL know in our hearts what the “right” thing to do with our friends, co-workers and especially partners is. Let people KNOW you APPRECIATE them. SHOW them with your actions and not just words. Words are the water that flows through the creek only to pass by and make our feet wet. The important thing is the rocks in which the river flows over. They are solid and seldom move. They are the foundation. Be those rocks. Be someone’s…Rock.

I will constantly post photos, take selfies, promote and talk about my good buddy Rod Saylor till the end of time. He came into my life and handled EVERY bit of business to PERFECTION.

Thank you to ALL my band mates who have been so good to me. Even some past guys and girls, would drive through the night, pick out my favorite treats and leave by my hotel door, bring me gifts for no reason… they have been beautiful. Some baby @$$holes but for the most part, I’ve had some good people.

Thank you to those who are so good to me. Thanks for coming to shows, buying my stuff, supporting all my business ventures. Thanks Rod Saylor for driving, and washing my windshield, trying to make smooth transitions in bands and working situations and just being an all around stand up dude. And thanks to the rest of my guys for being so pro, on time, knowing material, “cognizant” and just an all around PLEASURE to be around.

News flash. You don’t need to be “doin” someone to act like it. Lol. 

That FIRST time you met someone and are SO into them. Why does that have to end? Why does it have to change? Why can’t we discuss our problems gently, come to compromises, and REMEMBER the reason we were attracted to our partners in the first place?

Focus on the GOOD. Praise and UPLIFT your partner. And in my case? I’ll just keep complimenting the people in my life doing well by me. :-)

I'm dreaming of ROCK! Band and Bandmates worth SCREAMING about!

A huge THANK YOU to GOD for sending me the GREATEST line up of dudes I've ever played with. This CREW of The Goldy lockS Band blows me away daily. 

I received a call from guitarist J.Paul Brittian, an already accomplished solo artist who joined us. As I looked down at my phone I wondered if he was calling about his "check" or to quit... lol. These are really the only two reason a band mate calls me... He wanted to know if I would join he and girlfriend for lunch. And to invite me to a birthday party. I almost threw up. Not kidding. I'm so used to people just using me or just wanting their "check". I was taken aback. 

The next day I received a similar text, but it was from drummer Rod Saylor. He wanted to invite me to HIS Thanksgiving. One other time in the history of 15 years of playing has this happened. 

Our Bassist Sean O'Bryan Smith, yet ANOTHER accomplished Jazz player with deals and accolades to prove it, also was extremely kind on Thanksgiving. 

I don't know where these guys came from, but 2015 you'd better look out. I'm dedicated to reaching EVERY nook and cranny so you all can meet these guys and see them play. They are INCREDIBLE. I am THANKFUL I have the RIGHT people surrounding me with LOVE in their hearts, amazing personalities and the SKILLS to make anyone SMILE! T

he #GoldyLocksTakeHome from THIS story is: Start EXPECTING greatness. Start IMAGINING that dream job, perfect friend, co worker or partner. They will manifest! In my case BANDAFEST! Haha. What you long for is just around the corner! But you have to ASK! Thanks to all of the AMAZING companies who make the products these guys play. You make them happy and that makes ME happy!
