A Case of Busted Biscuits

Hello 2016!!! Our family rang in the new year with two very sick children; and,while it was an extremely rough time, it was the best way to start the year in hindsight. I was able to begin the year slowly and without a ton of busy activities. I had realized in the last quarter of 2015, I was SUPER busy! And while, most of the time, everything was fun and something I WANTED to participate in, it was wearing me down.

I became exhausted and when we went to Florida in December, I savored not having anything to do. It was a great feeling. But when we returned, I jumped right back into holiday busyness and completely lost track of working out and eating right. I became arrogant with telling myself that I could eat anything I wanted any time that I wanted.

Well, I was WRONG! And after a year of maintaining a weight/size I was content with, I gained ten pounds in a month and a half! To tell you I wasn't freaking out would be a LIE! I was y'all!! My clothes are tight and quite frankly, I'm feeling like a busted can of biscuits. I didn't want to tell people because, well, I'm a beachbody coach and being healthy is something that is my business. BUT I'm here to tell you, that when stop being intentional, the world will replace that intention with telling you to eat all the sugar and fried food!! (at least in my case)

And while I am still motivated in my workouts, the food part has been a FLOP. Tomorrow begins my "day 1" on my food journey! Food and fitness have to go hand in hand for them to be successful. What you eat will ultimately fuel your body for your workouts and if it isn't fueled properly then the results just won't come.

I've lost two pounds in the first month of Insanity Max:30 and I can't wait to see what month two holds because I am adding an additional element (the most important/challenging one) to aid in my results.

If you'd like to join me, I would love to talk to you about achieving your goals. Email me at NicoleZedlitz@gmail.com

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
