Every so often I become
attached to a workout-diet challenge Jaron sets forth – longing for a few more
days, as if reading a great novel that I don’t want to end.
Completing the
Groundhog’s Day Diet in support of my 90-day Jillian Michaels' exercise program
caused me to feel a small hole open up in my life. The routine became
comforting – an autopilot of sorts that steered me to great results in less
than two months. This was the most drastic weight loss in the shortest amount
of time: 35 pounds in 51 days.
In the decade-plus I
have been documenting fat cycles, which are periodically interrupted by skinny
me, I loved this program. Clarity and energy flowed freely with the cleansing
nature of the meal plan. Jillian’s workouts were low impact with enough variety
over the 90-days that I did not get bored. With the gyms and competition pools
closed, having a home-based video workout made life easier.
(Important caveat, Jaron would never condone mass produced video
workouts. Something about generalization is an abomination. Bunch of
other big words.)
There are hints that the
ODJ is putting together an organic meal plan for August. Just in time for the 8th anniversary
of our great “Destination 195” program.
Until that time, could someone tell me
where to find the chocolate covered raisins?! Need to bulk up to before the
next challenge.
