Update: 3 Day Quick Fix Bust

So here goes it! I wish I could be writing this saying that I stayed with it all three days and that I felt great and accomplished! Whomp Whomp!! I can't.

Day 1 went perfect! I stuck with the plan, are everything, and drank all the coconut oil I was supposed to. Day 2 was harder. I brought all my food to work and made it through meal 2 ok, but then came meal 3 and my stomach turned on me! I only are half of it (ground turkey and veggies- not my favorite), but thought "I liked the fish yesterday so I'll do fine with that one!" Wrong! My stomach had made up it's mind: too much meat! I tried to eat the fish but could not finish even half of that. I brought no other food with me and by the time I went to pick the boys up even my coach asked me if I was ok. Clearly the hunger and feeling of defeat was written all over me.

The reason WHY I want to accomplish this HUGE goal is because I always quit on myself. Have I still accomplished goals, absolutely; however, I also look back and think, where could I be if I had just stuck with it all the way? Hindsight's 20/20 right?

At the end of Day 2, I came home and had a small peanut butter and jelly sandwich that was sooo good!! And then I had a BBQ sandwich with about 1/8 cup of baked beans (that's NO WHERE on the plan!).

Day 3 was 50/50. I only ate three meals and a snack and lunch was a doozy! I had my oats and egg whites for breakfast. I actually really liked them! Surprisingly it's a lot! I mixed the egg whites in my oats because I don't like them by them self. And then I had shakeology for dinner.

Instead of thinking of this as one big failure, I am trying to see the successes and things I have learned::

-I realized that I need a realistic plan that has food that I enjoy eating!

-I will cook my chicken in the crockpot next time with a salt free taco seasoning

-No ground turkey next time.

-When I am home, I will cook my food the day of for better taste.

-I surprisingly didn't crave sugar the first two days! I did get into some Halloween candy during lunch yesterday. (Ahh!! When will it be gone??)

- I lost a total of 4 lbs in just three days!

I would still recommend the quick fix to anyone that wants to loose a few more lbs before an event or wanting to get over a plateau.

I would love to do another trial run of a prep meal plan in the near future, so stay tuned! It will probably be the week before or after thanksgiving.

PS:: That cornbread pictured ^ I have it to my boys and didn't even want it! Weird! That stuff is my favorite!

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
