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! 😊

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 ...

Transformation Tuesday:: 21 Day Fix Results-Round1

The results are in!  I lost exactly 4 lbs while doing the Fix fitness program.  Now, I left out the portion part, because that is where I strayed and hence why I am doing a round 2.  I saw the most weight-loss the first week and then smaller losses the second two weeks. Planning & Prepping!!  is what made me successful!  The days that I didn't have to think about what I was going to eat, were the best days.  I stuck to the plan for the first week really well, and then I "eye-balled" it.  Did my results reflect that?  Absolutely!  Could I have lost more?  Absolutely!  Am I disappointed in myself?  Yes and No.   Throughout this entire year, I have really made an effort to make this a lifestyle and sometimes, life happens.  We eat with friends and we eat out a lot.  It just isn't something practical to say that we are going to eat at home every night.  However, I know that I need to make my mind strong...
