The pros and cons of being selfish.

My whole life I was told that the characteristic of being "selfish" was never a good one to possess. I agree and disagree with that! 

I disagree when it comes to my health. I find that I need to be selfish to keep myself on track. Many times I've had to turn down the offering of a family dinner at a restaurant, or a saved piece of cake Phil has so thoughtfully brought home for me. I SELFISHLY have to put my goals above the kind gestures of others. Though I would love to splurge on dinner at a favorite restaurant, I know I will be much more satisfied with myself if I stick to my eating plan. I have to politely decline the offer and keep telling myself "It's worth it, you're doing the right thing!"  

I agree with not being selfish when it comes to health and sharing your successes with others. If you find something that is working for you, SHARE! You have no idea how many people are looking for that advice though they may not be publicly asking for it. You have the ability to inspire and support others who have common health goals as you. Weather it be a picture of your progress, or a delicious health recipe you made for lasts night dinner, WE WANT TO KNOW! 

I unselfishly want to share something with you that has been working wonders for me! It is my breakfast almost every single morning and drum roll please...it is GLUTEN FREE! A little gem called Shakeology. A chocolate shake every morning for breakfast? Yes please. 

This amazing little shake does so much for me!
- It gives me tons of energy
- Keeps my sweet tooth in check for the rest of the day
- It has dramatically improved my digestive system since my GF diet change
- Most importantly it keeps me on track with my health conscious diet because it is jam packed with natural ingredients derived from rich, nutrient-dense whole-foods

It only takes me about 5 minutes to blend it up in the morning and I take it in my travel mug on my way to work. 

I order my Shakeology from Beachbody and by doing that I had the opportunity to pair it with my newly found favorite workout TurboFire! By ordering them together I saved money and with doing Turbofire I never have to go to my least favorite place in the world, the gym. 

For those of you who are dedicated gym goers I envy you. The gym is not my scene. Never has been and probably never will be. I get to do my workout 6 days a week in the comfort of my own home and I absolutely love it! TurboFire kicks my ass every single day. I've yet to finish a workout without being drenched in sweat. 

If you are at all interested in trying Shakeology, TurboFire, or both you can do one of two things. Connect with me via email, Facebook, or check them out for yourself here!

When you find something that works for you, stick with it and be selfish! Don't let anyone try and deter you from what you are trying to achieve! Temptations can be powerful but resisting them will only make you stronger!
