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 with the yams! Mmmm!  Now, it's not what you think; I will be mixing it with water only and won't be adding anything to it (unless I drink chocolate and may add peppermint extract). I'm also hoping that this will give me the sweet fix that I need since there is no fruit during these three days!  I'm a sweet addict (1st step is confession right? Lol), and even if I'm being good, I like to end my meals/day with a fruit or something sweet. 

So here's my meal plan to be repeated over the next three days:
Meal 1: 2 egg white, steel cut oats with 1 packet stevia and cinnamon and 1 tsp of EV coconut oil

Meal 2: I will modify with Shakeology in water and roasted sweet potato

Meal 3: Grilled Flounder with veggies

Meal 4: Grilled Chicken and veggies with 1 tsp coconut oil

Meal 5: Grilled fish and veggies with 1 tsp coconut oil 

Meal 6: Ground Turkey and veggies with 1 tsp coconut oil 


I used salt free fiesta lime seasoning for my fish, salt free grilled chicken season for the (you guessed it!) chicken and a steakhouse spice for the turkey. I bought frozen veggies to try for these three days to keep the cost down. I'll let you know how that goes. 

I'll be eating about every two hours, drinking at least a gallon of water (ps: my three year old asked if he could keep the gallon jug on his bedside table last night in case he got thirsty- be still my heart!!). The EV coconut oil is to be melted and drank by itself. It's supposed to help keep my energy levels up and give me good fats to process over these three days. I can have coffee or tea but no creamer and only 1 packet of stevia; so I will probably just stick to water. 

I will also stick to my workout routine as well. I may even add a bonus workout in there somewhere. Stay tuned...

There's SOME of it in the fridge! Talk about using a TON of Tupperware!

    Hi! I realize this is an old post but I was just wondering how this went for you? I'm planning on doing this in a couple of day. I also want to sub the 2nd meal's protein for shakeology. I typically make it with water and 1/2 a banana, so I'll just leave out the banana for the next three days. Any suggestions are appreciated!

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

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
