Temptation

Ok, so I'm going to be honest here. I have a huge sweet tooth!! I rarely crave salty foods, but pretty much crave sweet things 100% of the time. It doesn't help that, especially in America, we have sweet foods sitting out there everywhere!! It's really hard for me to resist sometimes, but I have found that mt Team BeachBody Challenge Group has really helped me! It's a Facebook group and we are all trying to become healthier people. We have to check in everyday and let everybody know what we ate and what workout we did. With my new job it makes it way too easy to eat out everyday. That was getting really expensive and quite frankly, I've put on 15 pounds since I started! 

I follow a couple other runners on Instagram who had all been raving about Shakeology. I have tried weight watchers and slim fast in the past and I've had luck, but even with the WW meetings, I never really felt any connection to the people there or any support. Finally decided to try Shakeology and was very surprised with all that it came with. I ordered one bag to try it and got an email telling me that I now had a free membership to Team BeachBody and that my Coach would be contacting me. No monthly dues or anything, you just buy the product. She contacted me and added me to the challenge group where I have met some of the nicest people! They comment on everything that is post and have really been encouraging. It's really nice to know that I can post a pic of something I really wanted to eat, but resisted temptation and they will all cheer me on and give advice on healthy alternatives! I'm so thankful to all of them! 

This morning I went to 7-11 to get a coffee...walked right past the doughnuts and grabbed a banana. Still sweet, but not nearly as bad! What is your biggest temptation? What do you do to avoid it or eat in place of it? Sound off!
