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 ...

Creating Momentum: Day 1 of the 3 Day Quick Fix

So here goes nothing. Yesterday I prepped everything that I'll be eating for the next three days! It was exciting. And nerve-wrecking all at the same time. I didn't like that I indulged yesterday more than normal just because I knew I would have those things for THREE DAYS! Really Nicole, come on!! I know I still have a LOT of mental work to do to help me get to where I want to be. That's why I'm trying out the three day quick fix to see how my body reacts to it and how I mentally handle being on a restrictive diet. During a competition prep, there can be cheat meals and other foods added in to your regime; however for the 3 Day Quick Fix, protein and veggies rule. I will be making one modification to the plan because I can't go three days without Shakeology. It's my nutritional supplement and "pick-me-up everyday!" Because it is considered a "red," during meal two I will be drinking my shake in place of the other protein listed along wi...
