ARMY VETERAN REDEFINES<br />
ACTIVE DUTY<br />
When Todd Bailey saw a picture of himself from a family<br />
Christmas party in December 2<strong>00</strong>9, he was ashamed of<br />
what he saw. At 230 pounds and 42-years old, Todd was<br />
at his heaviest and felt miserable. He wasn’t working out<br />
and ate whatever he wanted. He was active throughout<br />
high school, playing football and running track, and<br />
joined the Army after graduation, so he knew how to live<br />
a healthy lifestyle. But that was 20 years ago.<br />
In 2<strong>00</strong>9, he heard about AdvoCare through a Drew Brees<br />
commercial and went online to learn more about the<br />
company and the products. He knew he needed a safe<br />
form of energy, so in early 2010 he started drinking Spark ®<br />
and began a 24-Day Challenge ® . * After the Challenge,<br />
he cut out fried foods, drinking sodas, and focused on<br />
his portions. Not only did he look better — after three<br />
months, he also had enough energy to run his first 5k.<br />
Excited about his initial success, Todd continued on his<br />
journey toward a healthier lifestyle by adding in fresh fish,<br />
lean beef, vegetables, fruits and tons of water to his diet<br />
and exercising at home.<br />
“It was like looking at Mount Everest in the beginning,”<br />
says Todd. “I had to make up my mind to do it; it didn’t<br />
happen overnight.”<br />
After six months, Todd lost over 45 pounds and joined<br />
a local gym to further challenge himself. He discovered<br />
CrossFit ® and added products from the Performance<br />
Elite Line to help build lean muscle. Five years into<br />
CrossFit, he was invited to join the staff as a coach, which<br />
he proudly accepted.<br />
It’s been six years, and Todd has lost<br />
a total of 65 pounds that he’s kept<br />
off by working out four to five times<br />
a week and eating smaller portions<br />
consisting of fruits, veggies and<br />
lean meats five times a day. He<br />
wears the same size he wore in the<br />
Army over 20 years ago, which he<br />
says wasn’t an easy task.<br />
