It All Connected


If you've been around me at all, you've probably heard me use the term "It all connected". Well, when it comes to Healthy Mind, Healthy Body vs. UNHealthy Mind, UNHealthy Body, that's never been more true. Take for instance, my issues with clutter. Not organizing the clutter is connected to feeling overwhelmed. Feeling overwhelmed is connected to feeling tired and depressed. Feeling tired and depressed is connected to lack of exercise, which is connected to gaining weight which is connected to a host of physical problems.

On Tuesday, June 1 a new show will air on NBC called "Losing It With Jillian". Jillian Michaels from my favorite show "The Biggest Loser" will go into people's homes for a week and try to figure out just HOW "it all connected". Read more:

Many families across the country are stuck in an unhealthy rut that they would love to get out of. In today's society, with the pressures of work, school, family and juggling everyday life, a person's health becomes last on their "checklist" leading them down a path of unhealthy living. In this new life-changing alternative series, Losing It with Jillian will provide a "wake-up call" for eight families across America and help them transform their lives from the inside out.

Each week on Losing It with Jillian, Jillian Michaels, one of the leading health and wellness experts in the country, will use her characteristic brand of tough love and move in with one family for a week, giving them the necessary tools to make positive changes in their lives, bringing them back to a healthier lifestyle. Michaels will get to the bottom of the issues each family member faces that affect their health and happiness. Over the course of one week, the family will be pushed outside of their comfort zones and introduced to new exercise and eating habits as they are tested through difficult challenges and dramatic confrontations. At the end of the week, Michaels will leave them with her customized plan and a set of goals to work towards leaving the family on their own, having to put to practice what they have learned.

One final challenge remains, which will be a testament to their determination and cement their commitment to live happier, healthier lives. In an emotional and exciting reunion, Jillian returns a few months later to see how far they've come and the families will reveal their new looks and share their accomplishments in front of their family and friends.


Try to catch the first episode on Tuesday, June 1. I know I will! I'll be honest; I'd be TERRIFIED if I saw Jillian Michaels standing in my doorway. Why? Because as far as I've come, I know I'm still not doing a lot of things right. I feel Healthy Mind, Healthy Body slipping out of my grasp and I need a jumpstart!
