Breakfast ideas!

If you're anything like me, you have SUCH a hard time trying to figure out what to eat in the morning. For me its just that I'm not awake yet, and I don't "feel" like eating. But that is an awful way to start the day, because 99% of the time I end up not eating until at least 2 in the afternoon. This "guide" has helped me so much, with just giving me simple quick things to grab and go in the morning. Greek yogurt being my favorite!! I hope this helps some of you guys out!

This could be you! Don't give up

We went paddle boarding in the Atlantic Ocean today! It was quite the experience with the hurricane that is making its way up the coast. But no matter how hard it was, we never gave up and we went around the island for 2 hours! The wind blew us all over the place and far away from the shore line, but we fought back until we got to a place we were comfortable. Your goals are the same way, no matter how many obstacles get in your way, never give up! Never accept defeat, ask for help along the way if you need it! I sure did today, and I absolutely asked for the help that I needed. And the outcome was beautiful! I reached my goal, and had a wonderful time along the way. :) 

No matter how unattainable you feel your goal is, fight for it. You will eventually get there, ask for the help that you need, it doesn't make you any less better or less of a person. It just means getting to your goal is more important than your pride! And that is a hard pill to swallow, but so worth it!

Start taking steps toward your goals TODAY! Enough with the excuses, just say yes and start working! 

Have a wonderful night!!!

Invest in yourself.


Have you made the best investment you could ever make? If not, what is holding you back? What are you afraid of? Who is doubting you, and why? Do you talk a big talk without the walk? 

Well, STOP! Make the investment in yourself today! Throw every fear you have out the window, crush every doubt you have right now. Make a commitment to yourself to become the best form of you that you can be!

Taking that step was the best move I've ever made. Getting rid of everything that was holding me back was one of the most difficult things to do but so unbelieveably beneficial! I am so much happier, so much more motivated, and in such a better place mentally, physically and financially. 

I challenge you to go out and do something today that you'll thank yourself for tomorrow. Baby steps add up to a giant step. I promise you, you CAN do it. And if you need help and/or motivation, come here and read these posts, or send me an email at Lindseyadvo20@gmail.con and I will gladly help you get to your own individual goal! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!!

Dream big!

Never in my life did I ever think I would be able to stay at such a nice hotel, and especially over the 4th of July weekend when hotel prices on the beach SKYROCKET! But here I am at the Ocean Pointe Marriott in West Palm Beach Florida, and I am beyond amazed! Before AdvoCare this was never on my radar, I never would have thought that I could be where I am today. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have been presented. And the best part of AdvoCare is being able to see what it does for the people you introduce to it. I more than anything, love to be the reason someone else is smiling. That is the most fulfilling feeling I have ever experienced, I would not trade what I do for anything else on the planet. Now while I may be on vacation, I am still working from this paradise I was able to take myself to. Look out West Palm Beach, I will find you with loads of spark and the business opportunity that will change your life if you let it!!

If this is something you want for either yourself or your family, please don't hesitate to shoot me and email with any questions you may have! I would love to be part of the smile on your face as well as your families! I would love to help you get to a point that you can go on dream vacations and have play money while you're there. I would LOVE to help you and your family get to a financial state that you are actually COMFORTABLE in, to a state that you DON'T have to check your bank account before you put gas in your car. I would love to help you be able to go on that girls weekend trip without feeling guilty about the money you're spending. Please please PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity, I promise it will be the most beneficial $79 you have ever spent. I was skeptic at first and as soon as I saw what it was capable of doing for me, I took off running and never looked back.

Take that leap of faith you've always been afraid of taking! E-mail me RIGHT NOW at lindseyadvo20@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing your stories, and helping you get to where you would like to be!

:) From the beach,
have a wonderful Friday
