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!

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
