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.

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 ...

Big Barrel Souvenir

This past weekend I experienced my first music festival, Big Barrel in Dover, Delaware.  We were able to see Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Lynrd Skynrd and many others.  It was a super fun and a much needed get-away.  Get-Away was the key word!!  I got away from all of my healthy eating habits too!! If following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, it would have been a weekend full of cheats and yellows.  I had loaded baked potato, pulled pork sandwiches, fries and Olive Garden Pasta.  I'm coming clean!  I don't feel guilty because it doesn't happen all the time, but I don't feel GOOD!  My body is mad at me and I can feel it.  I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 5lb weight gain!!!  Ahhhh!!  Five pounds of bloat and crap in just three days!  Not exactly the souvenir I was hoping for... So, now what do I do???  I hop right back on my routine.  I'm beginning the 21 Day Fix Extreme today along with...
