I
have been trying to decide how I want to use this blog- do I use it for
health and fitness for my Beachbody clients? Do I use it with mental
health information for my private therapy clients? Do I use it for a
place to talk about things I find interesting? I think I have decided
to use it as all three. Health, wellness, and mental health all go
together. I happen to have a great interest in all three and hope to be
able to share inspiration, helpful, and sometimes thought-provoking
information. Today's post is more in the area of my personal interest,
but it is very much wellness related and has helped me gain power over
my Starbucks addiction, which was part physical and part mental. I'm
sure you can relate with some area of your life that has become an
addiction you have just decided to accept.
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 had a moment when I was
playing kitchen with my two year old, Jade, and she asked if I wanted a
"Grande Chai". It was super cute, but also made me realize
how much she was watching and I decided to give Shakeology a try with
my workouts because I didn't want her thinking the drive through was a
good option for meals. 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 cravings or the
desire to go there (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
and hope it will help me lose the weight from Baby Korn with a bit less
effort this time.
