Jessica Did the 12 week Couples Program  with her friend Sarah

My entire life I have been into athletics starting when I was very young, playing three sports in high school, playing four years of division two college basketball, and then taking up running and completing two marathons (one 24-weeks pregnant!).  Always active, happy with how I looked, and always able to eat whatever I wanted.  A year after my husband and I got married, we found out we were expecting.  I was determined to stay in shape.  I ran religiously until I was 32 weeks pregnant and then just stopped doing anything.  I gained 50 pounds with my pregnancy and relied on breastfeeding and running, when I had time between working a full-time job and the responsibilities of being a new mom, to help me lose my baby weight.  It did help, I lost it all plus some by the time our daughter was a year old.  However, even though the scale was lighter, I did not feel good at all and I was so “soft and empty” feeling.  I did not feel anything close to

the pre-baby me.  I continued to workout (when I felt like it), mostly running, which was no longer a stress reliever, but instead I stressed out about going for a run, inconsistent weight lifting, and ate what I thought to be healthy, most of the time.  I was discouraged and absolutely dreaded going to my closet to find something to wear because some days my clothes just fit, but most days they were snug.  I was convinced that it was going to be a constant battle with the scale the rest of my life and this is just what the life of a mom was and the sacrifices mom’s make.

I first heard of HitchFit from a hometown friend and guy I went to high school with (Nick Hasenkamp).  He had been doing body building and competition, so it never even crossed my mind to look up HitchFit because I thought it was all for competition prep, until I saw a before and after of my good friend’s sister and Hitch Fit Transformation  (Mari Butler) on Facebook.  Seeing that picture amazed me and got me motivated and excited to learn more about it. I quickly went to the website and discovered the endless amounts of transformations and testimony’s.  I began reading and researching.  I emailed Nick to ask him about HitchFit and got in contact with Mari and began asking a hundred questions.  I finally emailed Micah to ask about starting a program.  Looking back on it, my initial email to Micah was ridiculous, stating to him that I wouldn’t give up the foods I loved (pasta and sweets) and I didn’t have the time to spend 3 hours a day in the gym.  He emailed me back a one liner that changed my life saying “If you aren’t ready to commit yourself 100%, don’t sign up.”  From that point on, it was on!  Who did this guy think he was telling me that I wasn’t ready?!  I easily convinced my very good friend and workout buddy to do a program with me and we signed up for the “Lose Weight Feel Great” 12-week program together.

The first four weeks, adjusting to eating clean and the amount of time in the gym between weight lifting, cardio and abs, were the hardest.  I learned that my food and snack choices were not the best choices.  I learned that I was going to have to step up my will power and want to, in order to get to where I wanted to be, so that is exactly what I did.  I got into a routine of planning my meals for the week on Sunday and even doing some make-ahead.  I had struggled in the past with feeling guilty about taking any time away from my baby for me, so I often skipped the gym to spend time with her.  So, this time I started doing my workouts over my lunch break and at night after my daughter went to bed, so that I didn’t feel guilty taking time away from her.  The biggest lesson I learned and turning point was learning the difference between scale weight and body fat percentage.  I quickly saw results, losing 9lbs and 6% body fat and had so much more.

energy in just the first four weeks!  This gave me the motivation and drive to stick with it through all of the ups and downs.  By week 11, the most dreaded week because I went on an 8 day beach vacation, I had the discipline, routine and motivation down and I actually lost weight (despite a couple trips for FroYo and a trip to Coldstone, which has fat free, sugar free sinless sweet cream!).  My husband did the research before we left to find the closest gyms to where we were staying and made sure we were staying at places with a kitchen, so I wouldn’t miss any workouts and I could make my oatmeal and egg whites every morning, I packed my food scale and all the non-perishables I could in my suitcase such as tuna packs, oatmeal, sprouted grain pitas, protein powder, etc., we hit up the grocery store when we got there, and we did a look ahead at menus online and ate at restaurants where I could make good choices.

After 12 quick weeks, I am a whole new person, running miles at a pace I never thought I would see (way faster than even pre-baby), wearing skinny jeans (woah!), educated on health and fitness, and most importantly, happy and smiling!  I also feel so good that I am not doing some fad diet, taking some diet pill or diet supplements, some gimmick, or starving myself.  I am just simply busting my ass, working hard, and making good choices with what I put into my body.  A HUGE thank you to Micah for being so responsive to my questions and concerns and for being so helpful, supportive and motivating along the way.  An even bigger thank you to Mari Butler for being my motivation and my partner in crime, Sarah Rumler!  And, the biggest thank you to my awesome husband and daughter for being so supportive through all of the ups and downs of my transformation!  This program has truly changed my life and I will forever be grateful!
