Hey there, fellow —and future— fat flushers! My name is Nikole and I’m going to be taking you along on my fat flushing adventure! I hope that my journals help you to become as passionate as I am about this life changing plan. And for those wondering, it doesn’t just help you lose weight. Yes, that’s an amazing benefit! But your overall health is the important thing here! There is a Fat Flush Plan for everyone! Let me start by introducing myself.
I’m married to the love of my life, have 3 pretty princesses who keep me on my tippy-toes and 2 spoiled pups. I’m a daughter, sister, and friend. I volunteer at my daughters’ school and work as a hair stylist. I love making women feel beautiful! I love the outdoors, working hard and I hope to inspire others with my story. What you see is what you get! I’m an everyday person, running kids around, trying to keep a clean house and juggling a million things at once! So far on my journey, I have lost over 50 lbs and I am the healthiest I have ever been with the Fat Flush way of life. So yes, YOU CAN do it too! Being busy is an excuse I used for many years. As Thomas Jefferson said, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Take that first step to becoming the new and improved you, and feel the best you have ever felt!
The most common questions I get are, “How did you do it?”, “What do you eat?”, “How do you do it being a wife and a mom?” and “What do you do when you go out of town or out to eat?” These are questions that I am going to be answering as I take you through my day to day life! So, let’s go! (And remember, anything I’ve underlined is a link; click it for more info!)
Day 5 ♥ Shakedown Journal
So I told myself I wouldn’t do it… But I did… I got on the scale. But much to my surprise I have dropped 5 lbs! Whoop Whoop! I’m just 1 lb away from being where I was! I didn’t expect to lose the weight that quickly but what can I say? Those pounds don’t stand a chance against the Shakedown! I was also on the Shakedown Facebook page and saw so many other people having great success! That always puts a smile on my face! I absolutely love seeing other people succeed!
Today, I decided to try the Baked Chicken and Artichoke Casserole my husband had picked out of the Fat Flush Cookbook. One of the ingredients was the 1-2-3 Chicken Broth. I’ve never made chicken broth before and was a little worried. Much to my surprise it was super easy! Just dropped the chicken, veggies, and spices in and WA-LA! Homemade chicken broth! It made a ton, so I have some in the freezer and kept a little container in the fridge. Plus have chicken for tomorrows meal! And the casserole was a huge hit! One of my favorite FF recipes so far!
My tip for today is to set achievable goals and celebrate your victories! I thought I would share a couple of goals and rewards I have for myself.
Goal: Complete 2 week shakedown
Reward: New dress for Vegas trip!
Goal: Run 1/2 marathon
Reward: Beach trip!
Goal: 1 inch off my thighs
Reward: New workout pants!
It keeps it fun and gives you something to look forward to!
