Need a Pick-Me-Up?

For me it was coffee.  Do not get me wrong - I'm not saying an occasional cup of coffee is bad. I do believe in moderation and I still enjoy a good cup every now and then.  However at age 35 I found myself setting the timer on the coffee maker nightly, stopping in my local coffee shop, located conveniently in my grocery stores and spending extra $ on coffee drinks and sometimes reheating what was left in the pot at home in the afternoon.  Why was it then, I still found myself begging my daughter for naps and falling asleep in my kids rooms at 8:30? I must admit I had a problem.

So what did I do about it?  First, what I did not do. I did not drop all sugar, give up caffeine, drink water only, purchase only organic food, go gluten free, dairy free and fat free nor did I start sleeping 8 plus hours of sleep per night. More power to you if you choose this approach.

I added AdvoCare.  AdvoCare Spark replaced my coffee.

Insert what you must, regular soda, diet soda, energy drinks, high sugar snacks, etc. but I'm inclined to believe most people are craving a pick-me-up at some point during the day; wishing they had energy to play vs. watch those around them do so.  Seriously, how many times have you looked at a productive, energetic person or child and said, "I wish I had their energy or even half of it!"?

What I found with Spark is that the energy was lasting and focused vs. leaving me crashing and craving snacks and naps. One or two strategically placed in my day provides me with what I desperately need to make the most of my day; mental focus, productivity, and great energy for my workouts and some craving control.   I like that it has added nutrition, it comes in a variety of flavors and  it tastes good both hot and cold.

So here are the most common questions I asked (and now get myself):
