True Story:  

Starbucks Addiction and Shakeology

This morning I was drinking my shakeology and feeling inspired, scrolling through my challenge group posts.  Kelli's post popped up in my Holiday Survival Challenge Group--The word Starbucks of course caught my attention, as a former addict myself.  

Come to think of it, I have not craved or wanted Starbucks since starting Shakeology.  If we go it is of necessity for a place to hang because we drive a lot.  I get green tea, no water, no sweetener.  Breaking this old habit alone pays for my shakeology every month.  There is a cozy store right by my house, I love the girls there.  They are like friends.  It was truly an issue for me.  I was addicted to the people and the hot drink.  Looking back after reading this post I realize that's when I quit wanting to go.  When I started my first Challenge Group and my daily Shakeology. I no longer cared or desired it.  I too did not stop on purpose.  There are healthy choices I make there.  Shakeology cured my craving for the beverage and my craving for friendship was met with my challenge group.  This is huge!  We still go because we drive a lot and often need a place to stop because we can't go home.  It is fewer and far between, only out of necessity.

   I am no longer even slightly tempted for a latte.  For those of you that know me, this is HUGE!   

Post From Kelli:

So here is a true story- 

 I am a recovering Starbucks addict. I was going there 3 times per week for probably about the last year for a drink (Chai) and a breakfast sandwich. I attempted to give it up for awhile, but finally just accepted that I was an addict, lol. I was probably spending about $60 per month at Starbucks. I started Shakeology in mid November as part of a Challenge pack with T25. I am 15 weeks pregnant, so there were days I didn't get Shakeology in with my morning sickness, but even having Shakeology 3-4 times per week, my Starbucks addiction has vanished. I have been there twice since starting Shakeology a month ago, and one of those times, I really didn't enjoy it. I haven't had the urge to go (the two times I went were out of habit and convenience), and really am not missing it. My mornings are now filled with either Shakeology or a clean breakfast that I look forward to. I really was skeptical of Shakology and didn't even really try to give up Starbucks for the last few months, so I am really amazed as this result..
