Some Days...

Some days you won't feel like it!
Some days you'll want to throw in the towel. 
Some days you will eat whatever you want. 
Some days you will get frustrated because this journey is hard. 
Some days you will feel defeated. 
Some days you will cry. 
Some days you will feel inadequate. 
Some days you won't feel ready. 
Some days you will be scared. 
Some days you will be tired. 
Some days you will compare yourself to others. 
Some days you may get jealous. 
Some days you'll let that comparison steal your joy. 
Some days you'll want to stay in your comfort zone. 
Some days you'll loose your momentum. 
Some days will be just those- SOME DAYS!

But EVERYDAY, you need to tell yourself you are strong!
You are courageous!
You are doing things that others don't do so you can live like others won't live!
You will grow outside of your comfort zone!
You will reflect on how far you've come!  No one can take that away from you!
You will use that towel to wipe off the sweat of accomplishment!
You will feel confident!
You will like what you see in the mirror!
You will feel strong!
You will crush your goals!
You will dream BIG!
You will begin to crave healthy food!
You will know that the difficulty is worth it! It builds character!
You will find the energy for today and know a rest day is coming!
You will know that even if you aren't "ready," you have to start moving in the direction of your goals!
You will be YOU!!!

Because "some days" are just "some days!"
Yesterday afternoon and evening, I had a "some days" event. I didn't enjoy it one bit!  I had already got my workout in and felt great so why was this happening???
Because as much as I want to be superwoman, I'm human with the same insecurities that everyone else has. 
I was at a food tasting party and ate even after I was full. I literally threw the whole "portion control" idea out the window. REALLY NICOLE?

This morning, I have a determined mind (and a dairy hangover 😳). I know that it was just for that time and I have the ability to change my thoughts. I can start fresh today so that I can begin moving in the direction of my goals again. It's never too late to make that change!!
Big dreams and big goals are ok to have! You can start small or start big but improving everyday is ok! 

Thank you to each one of you! Y'all motivate and inspire me to be better everyday!
HAPPY FRIDAY! 😊

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
