THE Jillian Michaels Story (also THE Jenn Widder story)

By popular request, I’m back posting the Jillian Michaels post before I get to the Providence Half-Marathon race report. (I really suck at posting lately). Last week I heard about something called “Workout in the Park,” sponsored by Self Magazine. It sounded kind of interesting, but the headline was what caught my attention: special guest appearance by Jillian Michaels. I LOVE Jillian Michaels and The Biggest Loser, and working out in Central Park sounded fun, so I signed up and forwarded an Outlook invite to a few friends as well. Saturday morning dawned a bit earlier than I wanted it …

22 years old and already heart attack bound

I mentioned a few weeks ago that my doctor was concerned about my cholesterol and that I was getting tested for it. Well, results are in, and although my total cholesterol level isn’t too bad, my LDL level (the bad cholesterol) is almost double the normal. EEK! I went in for a follow-up on Friday, and she gave me a “no-list” of foods that I am now only allowed to have once or twice a month, max: Butter/margarineMayonnaiseCheese of any kindEgg yolksRed meatsAvocado On the bright side, having a medical reason to need to watch my diet is making it …

Diet advice needed

This is the menu for dinner tonight. There is nothing even remotely healthy on there. They say that you can substitute things, so I’m going to hope they really mean that. Their full menu is here, which is where I’m looking for substitutions for the four courses. My current thoughts: 1st course: salad with dressing on the side 2nd course: oysters, scallops, or cassoulet. I think those are in approximate order of healthiest to least healthy, but they’re also in approximate order of how much I’d enjoy them. The question is – how much healthier are the oysters than the …

Amazing discovery

Oh. My. God. I just found healthy food. At an AIRPORT. I’m in complete shock. I’ll try to put it aside long enough to provide details: Cibo Express, one of those little kiosks that’s near the gates (not in the food court). I’ve never heard of it before, but they sell two packs of hard boiled eggs (I ate just the whites), and bowls of sliced apples with caramel sauce (guess what part I skipped). Hard boiled eggs and sliced apples! That’s like… there’s no way they can add fat or calories or crappy chemicals to that, right? Who am …
