Boot Camp Transformation - Behind the Scenes with Jaime Fechter

Jaime's Week 4 Recap- The Going Got Tough!!

Week 4 of the JDC proved to be a difficult one. Thus far I think I have done fairly well following the nutrition plan. Friday night my husband and I had a well-deserved, long overdue date night. We went to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. Up until then anytime I had gone out (which truthfully, doesn’t happen often) I had strategically planned out where I would go and what I would order ahead of time. But Friday was a busy day and it was hard enough just getting out the door, so we showed up to the restaurant and I was not prepared. There were definitely some healthy options, but I couldn’t resist, I caved. I ordered one of my favorite pasta dishes that is covered in a delicious cream sauce and cheese. I also ate the bread, it was so good. After the first few bites though, I started to get really mad at myself. All this hard work I’ve been putting in and I’m going to un-do it with one meal, in less than an hour??? So I ate a small portion and then pushed the plate away. Next time I will be stronger and more prepared!

Tuesday morning I slept through my boot camp workout. I have no excuse, just slept right through the alarm. So I was glad that I still had the JDC workout that evening. When I got Concita’s email canceling our JDC workout due to the extreme heat, I was really disappointed. I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but the old me would have jumped for joy to have a workout cancelled. In these past few weeks I have really come to enjoy working out. Of course I didn’t have to be disappointed for long; Concita provided us a killer workout to do at home.

These changes that I’ve been making are really starting to take hold and I will continue to do my best to embrace this new lifestyle.

Jaime's Recap of Her Experience at the End of Week 3 of the Jean Drop Challenge

So here we are wrapping up the first half of the Jean Drop Challenge already. While it has definitely been intense (my shins still ache from Saturday’s hill sprints) it has not been as hard as I expected it to be.

I am finding the nutrition plan to be completely do-able. I am eating more food than I used to and the quality of what I’m eating has definitely improved. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s easy. Friday I would have given my left arm for something either greasy or chocolaty, but I fought through the cravings and didn’t give in. Saturday morning when I tried on my goal jeans and they fit, comfortably fit, I knew that my results were worth the fight. Seeing consistent progress is a huge motivator.

Another tool that has proved invaluable is the food journal. I was leery about keeping this at first, frankly it just sounded like an awful lot of work. Besides, I had tried it before and it never worked. But, I had never before had to actually turn them in for someone else to review and provide feedback. This is key. It makes me think twice before actually putting something in my mouth. Do I REALLY want to write “one handful of potato chips” or “the leftover half of my daughter’s unfinished cookie”??? I don’t think so…I’ll have an apple and some yogurt instead! Not to mention the feedback that is given is truly helpful.
