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 />
