Refresh Complete!

Exactly one year ago, I decided to do a three day cleanse that Beachbody had just launched.  It was a key tool in breaking my addiction to diet soda and I lost some weight too, which was awesome.  As I've shared lately, in the past four months, I gained ten pounds after maintaining a comfortable weight (the enjoy whatever/whenever lifestyle) for over a year.  This has been a tough thing to wrap my mind around.  How did I go from balanced to imbalanced without even noticing until the weight was there?  Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation?

So after failing to tighten the reigns on my own, I decided if the Refresh could break an establish soda addiction, then it could help me again.  And luckily, I found a local coach that had one on hand, so I didn't have time to back out of it :)
Last time, I completed two days at work and one day at home; this time one day at work and two days at home which was a little more difficult since the boys love snacking and all things delicious.  Day 2, after picking them up after work, I asked big brother what he wanted for dinner and, surprise surprise, he wanted pizza.  It was tough, but I didn't even lick my fingers after I cut their pieces up.  I know, it sounds silly, but I wanted NO temptations to veer off course.  And even during Day 3 all I could think was that I wanted something bad to eat, but I kept to the plan and began prepping my food for today.
This morning I woke up feeling great and motivated to continue eating well. 


Sidenote for the ladies- I did not realize that I chose to do the Refresh just before my monthly cycle and that probably made the three days a little more difficult.  I normally eat everything in sight just before (hello all foods sweet and salty).  And today when I woke up, I was super bloated.  That may or may not have affected my results, but I was happy with the outcome anyway.


So for the RESULTS!!!!  I LOST 4.2 pounds and 3 inches!!!!!!!!
I am SUPER HAPPY with those results in just three days and today, I rolled right into Day 1 of 22 Min Hard Corps.  The plan is to take the program workout/nutrition one day at a time.  The only goal I am focussing on is to complete each day to the best of my ability.


If you need help breaking bad habits and resetting your nutrition, I highly recommend the 3 Day Refresh.  You eat/drink something every hour and that helps take your mind off of worry about your meals/ cravings.  I would love to get you started!  Contact me on Facebook or email me at NicoleZedlitz@gmail.com so we can chat about your goals!

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...
