Two 2015 Goals:: One Down and One to Go?

Nothing like a two month sabbatical from blogging (oops!!).  Sorry to leave y'all hangin.'  Anyways....I wanted to give a quick update on what is going on as the end of 2015 quickly approaches.  How is it that time just keeps moving faster and faster?

There's a VERY new adventure for me.  This past weekend I became a Cize Live Instructor.  I cannot wait to begin teaching!!  It was a goal of mine to this time last year to become TurboKick certified, but when Cize was launched at Summit, my sites shifted.  Our master trainer explained it perfectly when she said, "it's like coming to class and being in a music video every time."  You will learn all of the moves for a routine and by the end of the class, you will be able to "perform" it (aka, Cize it Up). So be on the look out for more details as I get everything set up ;)




There's one other goal that I shared on my blog about a year ago too that I have chosen not to achieve this year.  Some of you may remember when I shared about competing in a bikini competition in 2015.  Well, for those that see my pictures, you may be thinking- she certainly doesn't look like she's training for anything.
You're right!!  I have decided NOT to compete this year or anywhere in the near future.  Does it mean I have failed me? I say NO.  I say that my focus changed when I went to Summit and worked out with Shaun T and Chalene Johnson.  They both drove the idea home that fitness is about feeling good and living your best life possible.  From then on, eating was not going to be something stressful or super strict.  I have lost about two pounds in the last six months and KNOW when I need to tighten the reigns on my food choices.
I do plan to refocus and see what results I can get with the Fix Extreme again this year before my upcoming Florida trip; however, the bikini competition body is not a goal of mine for this year.  Will my mind change, maybe- but maybe not.  And if I never compete, as long as I am feeling good and living my best life, then I consider that success.
I have changed my focus from "having" to workout, to feeling blessed that I am "able" to workout.  So many would love to have this opportunity to sweat and yet it something that we can take for granted.




And if you would like to get moving and feeling your best, contact me on facebook or at NicoleZedlitz@gmail.com
I would love for you to be a part of my team or my upcoming challenge group.

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
