Monday Momentum:: Plateau is OVAAA!!!

Wooohoooo!!! Thank you 21 Day Fix! The 7 week plateau is over and I couldn't be more excited!! I'll be honest, I did sneak a peak mid week and saw that the scale did move, but then came the weekend. The weekend is always difficult for me because we like to eat out with friends and the boys. This weekend, even though we ate out a few times, we still tried to make healthier choices and with the food that we was not healthy, we used major portion control!!

I lost 2.4 lbs!!!

This goes to show that all calories are NOT created equal!! I am still in the same target calorie range as I was before; HOWEVER, I am eating more vegetables and protein, and less carbs and fruit. Now I eat three servings of fruits and carbs (each) while before the fix, I was probably having about 4-5 servings of each a day. And now I am eating four servings of vegetables and proteins (each), while before I was only eating, at best, 2 servings of each. Some days, I struggle getting in all my veggie servings. I never thought I would say that I am struggling trying to eat all the food that a weightloss plan has for me! I'm eating cleaner as a result and it really is easy to follow.

I've also been pairing the Fix eating plan with the 30 min workout program. The speed of these workouts are completely different from what I am used to. I am a cardio junkie!!! I love Shaun T's T25 and Chalene Johnson's Turbo Fire HIIT!! The 21 Day Fix mixes light weights in with the cardio workouts. One morning this past week, my husband looked over and said, "We aren't moving very fast, but I'm sweating like crazy!" That's because we are doing more controlled exercises targeting certain muscle groups each day!! I can already tell that the Fix is going to play a major role is progressing me to my next goal of getting leaner and toned. I'm seeing and feeling change after just 1 week on the program.

If you're ready to begin your fitness journey, then contact me through Facebook or email me at nicolezedlitz@gmail.com

I would love to talk about your fitness goals and find the right program to help you achieve them!!

This day 5 was actually day 6. Clearing counting is an issue towards the end of the week! 😜

She Ate What??

Paleo, clean eating, raw vegan, grass-fed, no hormones, etc. : We all see the up and coming new philosophies of eating healthy and along with that, you'll see some pretty crazy combinations too. Today was perusing Pinterest (the death trap of the mind and time), I saw "Chia Pudding?!" What?? I haven't had pudding in FOREVER and now it's a "healthy" thing?! I remembered my boss had mentioned something to me about it a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd check out the recipe and see just how crazy it was. Well call ME CRAZY because I had all of the ingredients on hand. I mixed it up and a couple hours later, I tried it. It was REALLY GOOD! It will definitely be added to my clean treats!! Here's the recipe:: Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding 3/4 cup Almond/Coconut milk (you can use your milk of choice here) 3-4 tbsp of chia seeds (I recommend 3 until you decide that you want it thicker) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp PB2 (if using natural nut butter

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

Monday MOMENTUM:: Where should you start??

One of the biggest questions that people have when wanting to get healthy, loose weight or change their lifestyle is normally:: where do I start?? Some like to go cold turkey with a lifestyle change. And sometimes people can keep this up while others will fall back into the same old habits with little chance of recovering. One thing that I have tried to stick with this year that has been different than my weightloss journey in the past is making small changes. Small changes will add up and before you know it, your lifestyle will be rapidly changing. This year, it was when I really felt GOOD inside, that I wanted to consistently change my lifestyle. In the beginning, it really is like a detox!! Think about how much processed food(like) junk you are consuming!!! You wouldn't put maple syrup in a car and expect it to work like gasoline?!!! It's the same thing with our bodies. They weren't/aren't made to be given tons of chemicals that look like food. Here are some o
