The Dreaded Plateau!!!!

It's true!! The plateau has been haunting me for 6 weeks!!! YES, I SAID 6 WEEKS!! That scale has not budged and I am DETERMINED to make the change in the foods I eat so that I can break through this wall. I have been hitting my workouts hard and know that it has to be the types of food that I have been eating. I eased up A LOT on the "no soda" rule and haven't been drinking a full gallon of water each day. I have had cheat days instead of cheat meals and WAY too much RANCH!!! A good ranch dressing has got to be my biggest weakness other than sweets. It's like I told my challengers last week: saying "no" is difficult!! It does get easier but it still takes effort and focus on WHY you are doing this!!

Today, I am going to match the determination in my diet to the dedication in my workouts!! I have been undoing all of the hard work I have been putting in over the last two month. Today, I have decided to complete the challenge with my challengers for the 21 Day Fix! I am looking forward to this change and reaching my next goal which is to loose 20 more pounds.

What I am already loving about this program, even before it begins is the fact that it can work for ANYONE!! This meal plan can be used by a meat lover or a vegetarian. The food list for each container has such variety that no matter what your taste or food aversion, you can use this meal plan.

I will also be switching my workouts to the evenings. My husband has said that he will work out with me if we can switch working out to the evening. So I'll compromise because it's THAT important. Being healthy and fit as a family is a new chapter to this journey and I am so excited that my husband wants to take part. It will be hard for me because I'm more of an early bird than a night owl.

So I'm giving myself GRACE and refuse to quit because I'm in this for the LONG HAUL!! If you want to join me, my next challenge group begins in October. If you would like information email me at nicolezedlitz@gmail.com or message me on Facebook. Can't wait to hear from you!!!

Happy 3rd Blog-aversary!!

It's been three (3) years to the day since I began blogging. I've taken a LONG break lately as I have had many transitions in my life. But in the past few weeks, I've been considering sharing more about the next stage of this journey called life with you all. In three short years, I have gone from motivating others to experiencing weight gain and depression. Being delivered from said depression and fighting to lose the weight. I'd say sometimes in life, motivation shows up in the difficult times and then sometimes it's no where to be found-- a bit of a roller coaster really. And about a year ago, I was tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, tired of the structure and I needed a break. This break cost me about 20 lbs and goodness has it been tough to get my mind right again. But I'm experiencing life!! Enjoying the moment! And making memories with my family and friends that have been so good for my soul. And in this season, ...

The Summit...Would You Start Over?

So as most of you know, I went to Nashville last month for Beachbody's national convention called Summit. It is the most amazing event where people who's purpose is to help others get together, share wonderful ideas/trainings and completely refill your cup before you go back home. This year one of the speakers was talking about completing a workout program in it's entirety when we returned home. And they were telling us not to start over if we hit some bumps in the road. Now, I for one, am a habitual "starter over" so I probably turned a little red (those who know me know how a can get flushed in a split second). In a room of about 14k people, I was feeling like they were talking right to me. But then the best example was given...when you begin a hike/climb up a mountain, if you didn't like how fast you went or your progress in the first few hours, would you start over??? Um...NO way!! That seems like a no-brainer. There's no way that you would ...

21 Day Fix Approved French Toast Pancakes

This week begins tax school. Which means twice a week, I will be teaching a bilingual tax course to prepare for next tax season. I really enjoy it, but it can be tricky trying to eat healthy during this time. I remember last year Taco Bell and Hardee's were my "go-to" dinner choices. Fast forward to this year and I'll be having my shakeology for dinner each evening that I teach. It's easy, quick and keeps me full throughout the class. So because of this, I am not having my usual shakeology for breakfast. This morning, I wanted something other than eggs so I looked for a fix approved pancake. Now I've made the low carb pancakes that are only made with banana and egg and they were YUCK! (Just being honest) I was hestitant with these but I hand everything at the house already so there was nothing to loose if they didn't taste good. They have the consistency of French toast with the look and feel of pancakes. I was full until lunch time. Getting 2 reds in ...
