We have talked a lot here about Jillian Michaels, the kind of terrifying trainer on The Biggest Loser with the amazing abs. Weetabix has had a long, complicated relationship with Jillian, which has moved from hate to fear to a kind of bemused and wary understanding. I have so far been lucky enough to avoid the show, but could not help but catch her interview with Kim on The Daily Special. I was as blown away as Weet
was, when Jillian admitted that she just doesn't like exercise and
running is a special kind of heck So she is a special kind of awesome,
as it turns out. I think the official stance, here at Elastic Waist, is
that we love her.
That doesn't explain why we're willing to do
something as insane as subject ourselves to her (frankly, terrifying)
30-day fitness plan that she tells you is going to make you
spectacularly, outrageously fit. Or rather, I am willing. I think the
rest of us are too smart. But for this installment of the Elastic Waist
Book Club, I've gotten a hold of her newest fitness book, Making the Cut, and that's what I'm going to try to do.
It's got a month's worth of clean-eating meal plans (something I always appreciate),
and an incredibly detailed, incredibly rigorous daily exercise program
that Jillian guarantees will turn me into a cut-and-polished statue of
a Greek goddess. I have never come anywhere close to being a super-buff
goddess with abs of steel, and I've generally been okay with that. I
don't have 10 or 20 pounds to lose. And I'm not thrilled at the idea
that I am supposed to look like Jillian Michaels before I'm allowed to
feel confident wearing a bikini--but I have never really been that strong,
either. And Jillian, if nothing else, looks super strong and buff. So I
am intrigued, and curious, and what I'm going to do is give this plan a
shot, out of intrigued curiosity--and also for entertainment's sake.
It's going to be hilarious. You're totally welcome. Send help. Or, if
you're feeling a little nutty, come on and do it with me. I dare you.
