When The Scale Goes Up...

Yep, it happened!! The scale went up on me over the weekend (totally the scales fault, right?!). I gained a lb back from the four that I lost last week in my 3 day quick fix attempt.

So what do I do now? Now I know what you may be thinking; "a pound? Really Nicole, a pound? Who cares!"

But it's just one pound here and there that can grow to be a 10 lb weight gain in just three months. I don't want to go back there and, as you all now know, I have really big goals for next year.

I want/ need to stay on track so that I can accomplish those goals in the future.

So here's my plan:

I am starting a 21 Day Fix (because it's awesome!) and PiYo hybrid program (because it's awesome too, on sale, and everybody's doing it, ha!).

I missed yesterday because a sick little one who, every time I tried to get out of bed, woke up from a deep sleep and asked, "what are you doing mommy?" Or "where are you going?" A nap time workout didn't pan out either and I ended up washing my hair in the sink trying to get ready for work. Oh what a glamorous life :)

I will also continue drinking a gallon of water a day. I did finish my gallon each day over the weekend, but I ate too much junk!!

My nutrition is made easy with the Fix portion controlled containers, but my diet (as in what I eat) is always the hardest because I haven't fully conquered this mind yet! It's a daily struggle and I try to focus on small victories in order to build up my confidence to conquer bigger battles with my mind.

I'll leave you with a couple pictures from the past few days.

My Motivation!!

We had soooo much fun at India Fest and they had these themed pictures! It felt awesome being styled and jeweled up for the pictures!!

Happy Tuesday!!

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...

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, ...

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....
