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

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 ...

Transformation Tuesday:: 21 Day Fix Results-Round1

The results are in! I lost exactly 4 lbs while doing the Fix fitness program. Now, I left out the portion part, because that is where I strayed and hence why I am doing a round 2. I saw the most weight-loss the first week and then smaller losses the second two weeks. Planning & Prepping!! is what made me successful! The days that I didn't have to think about what I was going to eat, were the best days. I stuck to the plan for the first week really well, and then I "eye-balled" it. Did my results reflect that? Absolutely! Could I have lost more? Absolutely! Am I disappointed in myself? Yes and No. Throughout this entire year, I have really made an effort to make this a lifestyle and sometimes, life happens. We eat with friends and we eat out a lot. It just isn't something practical to say that we are going to eat at home every night. However, I know that I need to make my mind strong...
