NO COFFEE----SAY WHAT???

NO COFFEE!!!!!!

I have officially made it the last 6 days with ZERO COFFEE!!!!

If you know me at all I am one that is a Coffee Lover.  I love it hot or iced.  I have been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember.  I just love it!!

I was getting ready to start Core De Force (my new workout program) and I have joined a Team Spirit Group for Beachbody.  It has completely changed everything about my business but I digress, that is another post.

Anyway, one morning I had done my workout and was preparing my coffee and thinking about starting my program and the Lord spoke clearly- No coffee for 30 days.  I dropped the spoon!  OK...... I was almost in a state of panic but laughing at the same time.

I was listening to some other Team Calls about this program and made a decision.  I was ALL IN!  If that meant, no coffee, then so be it!!!!!!

I would use tea, honey and lemon.  That would be all I could use.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were AWFUL!  I literally thought I was coming down with the flu.  My body hurt.  I had no fever or other symptoms.  I was so sleepy I couldn't hold my eyes open.  I just wanted to go to bed.  I was in a mental fog that was the weirdest thing I had EVER experienced!

Thursday was 80% better and Friday was about 90% better.

It has been a real eye opener for me.  To realize I was that dependent on coffee and the sugar and creamer were amazing.  I also realized how many empty calories I was consuming.  You see, my coffee comes with 2 sugars (teaspoons) and 1 heaping teaspoon of creamer.  Remember I am consuming approx. 5-6 cups a day!!!!!!  50 CALORIES PER CUP!!!!  6 CUPS IN A DAY-----300 CALORIES!!!!!  ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!!!



I am discovering all different types and flavors of teas that I am just LOVING!  I have some local honey and just a small squirt and this is a happy Lady!!!!!!

PUMPED UP--SERIOUSLY PUMPED!

This coming Monday, November 7th, I will start on a 30 Day journey.  It's different this time.  I'm in an accountability group, also known as a Challenge Group, and this time it's REALLY different!
I'm in a Group with not only my own Challengers but also numerous Coach Friends.  So, not only do the Challengers get my support but as Coaches we are there to keep each other totally accountable.  To be honest, I have NEVER been in a group like this!  I guess that is why the adrenaline is at an all time HIGH!!

This 30 days is different.  A week or so ago, I had a heart to heart conversation with my Coach.  It was a total revelation or Ah-ha moment if that is what you want to call it.  I realized after some soul searching and praying through some things that were going on with me that I needed to change.  I needed to step up to the plate.  I needed to push through. I need to get off my behind and just go for it with EVERYTHING I had.  Yes, I have done other programs. Yes, I have posted my pictures everyday. Yes, I meal prep. But where was my head?  Where was my heart? Was I really giving it EVERYTHING?  The answer was a resounding NO!!!!!  So why in the world am I sharing this with you?  Well, I'm sharing with you that I am REAL!  I struggle! I am not perfect and nor do I pretend to be.  I don't have it all together!  People have this idea that because I am a Beachbody Coach that I have it all figured out.  NEWSFLASH---I DO NOT!!!! 

What's going to be different in this 30 days? Glad you asked!!!!

- Posting a SS every day!!!!!  (sweaty-selfie)
- Posting a picture of what I am eating everyday
- Posting about meal planning
- Encouraging everyone in my group
- Drink my Shakeology EVERY DAY!
- Take my Before and After Pictures and Measurements
- THIS IS THE BIG ONE------NO COFFEE FOR 30 DAYS!!!!

I will be Core De Force which is a new Beachbody program.  It's an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Program.
It uses NO EQUIPMENT!
No weights!
No bands!
No mat!
Nothing!!!!!!!!!
I'm so ready!
MONDAY NEEDS TO HURRY UP!!!!!!
