What Can Shakeology Do For You? (+playlist)

Victory this morning!!!

Remember the scale doesn't always tell you the truth this is way more fun--my weight has been going down but muscle really burns fat! On top of it each day the last two days someone has told me wow look at those legs and yesterday what are you doing? ️ and I tried on an outfit I didn't think I could wear for my Christmas party tonight and it looks awesome and feels amazing! Yayy! I've had fun times I've not been perfect and it just shows that consistency not perfection will bring results and this is real life stuff!! No fad diets here!

The magic of pulling a jacket out that hasn't looked nice in years, Telling yourself it will probably still not look ok, and it fits! all I've wanted since My surgeries is to just throw on a jacket and feel like myself. I know I have a long ways to go but it's so fun to feel like me! The scale would tell me that this shouldn't fit ----but muscle burns fat baby!!!!

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..
