WE ALL HAVE ISSUES. What are you doing to change those issues?

Wednesday 4/27- 3 days after Easter and I was still puffy, felt heavy, skin still red, just flat out feel gross from all I consumed. I literally had a FOOD HANGOVER all week. You know when you drink to much, wake up and say I'm never drinking again?!  Well, I woke up on Monday and said "I never want to eat again!" 

Everyone has issues whether it's binge eating, binge drinking, over-training, not eating, not being able to communicate, losing control, no self control, anxiety, body-issues, self-confidence, constantly thinking about your weight, what your going to eat, what your going to drink..... Whatever your issue is PLEASE don't think your alone. The most secure, successful, amazing people, the one's you think have it all together have issues. The  ONLY way to get out of your vicious cycle (whatever it may be) is to take ownership and take the first step to change. I myself have many issues and through the years have learned the most important lesson...YOU are the ONLY person who can change YOUR life no one is going to come in and do it for you. Take the first step to change your life....

As we finish week 3 I am feeling exhausted BUT I am feeling so STRONG! I did my first 3 full body pull-ups no assistance, no jumping, dead hang! I am so inspired by all the positive energy in each boot-camp, inspired by the way people are reaching out to me to talk about their issues, and reaching out to each other to workout together and to hang out, new social groups are forming!  

I have been writing down my food everyday and I will document this last week for all to see. I will admit I can literally eat like a 300 pound man! If I didn't workout I would weigh 300 lbs, I find it almost impossible to stay under 2,300 calories a day! I have a Triathlon this weekend after that starting Monday for the last 3 weeks of this camp my daily caloric goal is 1,800 a day.  SO for all of those who think I don't eat and workout all day you need to know I am a REAL PERSON.  I love to eat and drink, I take days off, I get tired, I take naps, I fall out of my routine, I lose weight, I gain weight this is the cycle of life......

2. NO Carbohydrates after 4pm - lean meats and veggies only.

This week I want everyone to think about when are you the most successful and happy? Although drinking and eating crappy food is fun, the aftermath of it all is NOT FUN and most of the time not worth it.....

 I don't think I have ever woken up after a night of NOT drinking and said to myself, I wish I would of drank last night. Remember it FEELS GOOD to FEEL GOOD waking up hung over and puffy just doesn't feel good.

Have a Fabulous weekend I will post again on Monday please share any comments, concerns, questions or anything you would like me to talk about on this blog.

In Health and Happiness,

First 2 weeks of Bootcamp- workouts,nutrition and fatigue.

This is the end of week 2 and I am about to post all the workouts I have done for the first 2 weeks of Boot-camp.  I have to admit after 2 weeks of my own boot-camp I am exhausted! My body hurts I'm sore all over, I am agitated, crabby, tired, frustrated and somewhat emotional. Wednesday I got on the bike to ride and after 10min got off because I had NO ENERGY and my body was begging for a rest day so I took it. Thursday camp came and  honestly I didn't want to go, I was tired, I had cramps, I was crabby I was looking for an excuse. I told myself you committed to this DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO. There is no better way to get through a workout than with a high energy group of people. When I was done with camp that night I felt awesome, my cramps were gone, I was no longer crabby and I actually felt stronger through the workout than I did in the first week.

 Feeling good and strong during a workout is great but the way to get  truly stronger is what you do when your not feeling good. What happens when your fatigued? Do you quit or do everything in your power to get through that workout? I now know the true benefit of committing to a program and committing to the others in that program.  I want to say thank you to Chris Bartl and the Tues/Thurs 7pm class for pushing me outside my own comfort zone, without you I honestly would of bailed on the rest of the week's workouts! 

Sometimes the hardest part is showing up.......

What does Jenny Schatzle eat?  Please remember I am HUMAN and I like to enjoy life.  As many of you know I am far from being a saint, I WORK HARD SO I CAN PLAY HARD.  Much like many of you food is an extremely hard part of this program. I can tell you all day what to eat but am I following my own advice.......YES and NO. My problem is I'm an extremist, I am very ALL or NOTHING. I can eat NO wheat, no dairy, no sugar, no alcohol for a set amount of time, feel AWESOME, then go and in 1 weekend totally blow it. In which I get angry, disappointed, beat myself up and wallow in self pity about why did I just do that?! This is a vicious cycle some go through and during this program I plan on breaking it. I know you can't live life never eating a burger or a slice, no one wants to live on salad alone! Here is the nutrition plan, I will log EVERYDAY exactly what I am eating trying to go 6 days clean and 1 day having a cheat day.  I believe in NO WHITE FLOUR, NO ENRICHED/UNBLEACHED FLOUR. The 3 main source of my meal plan is Vegetables, Fruits, and Lean meats. I am allergic to Salt so NO SALT and find I don't digest wheat and dairy very well so cutting those out. Most people have food allergies they just don't know it. If you take these things out of your diet for 2 weeks and slowly add one thing back in at a time you will realize how the body reacts and may find you have food allergies. Here is what I have had today, Tomorrow is Easter so I am going to enjoy good food with good friends and family. Monday I will post exactly what I ate on Easter as well as the rest of the week. HAPPY EASTER enjoy your Sunday.

In health and happiness,

Jenny.

Here is what I am doing for the next 5 weeks FOLLOW ME.....

Happy Thursday to all I hope everyone is having a happy, healthy day! I know I got this up late but as they say better late than never! We are now in week 2 of BC, today will be the 3rd workout and I am FEELING IT. I am SO SORE, tired, a little cranky and always hungry! Through the next 5 weeks as I actually participate in Tues/Thurs 7pm boot-camp I promise to write what I am eating, feeling, exercises on a daily basis and to be open and honest about this program which I designed.  At the end I will post my "before and After" pictures along with my stats: body-fat, muscle gain, inches  the whole deal. I am doing this for many reasons one is I want to prove that my program is truly life changing but to also show no one is perfect. Everyone has issues including me, whether you struggle with food, alcohol, exercise, motivation, being social, depression, feeling out of control, lost life is about excepting your issues and taking actions to change. Here is the hard truth.....NO ONE IS GOING TO COME IN AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU if your not happy YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT. Stop making excuses, stop talking so much about what you want to do or what your going to do and just do it. After last year, I didn't drink for 6 months, ran my first marathon, embarked on an amazing business and completely changed my life for the better. Starting 2011 I have found myself slipping into old habits, not staying consistent in my training, eating and drinking to much, pretty much hanging in vacation land! I want you to know you can never be 100% ALL the time, you will have ups and downs in your life, you will have times when you are in the best shape of your life and times when you vacation to much, eat and drinking to much,times you are not being as productive and positive as you know you can be....this is LIFE.  EVEN THE STRONGEST PEOPLE FALL, IT'S HOW YOU GET BACK UP THAT MATTERS.  I ask that you follow me in this journey with an open mind and I accept all questions, concerns, compliments I will hold nothing back......
