We're 100! A few golden nuggets from the past 100 shows. Notes from the Jillian Michaels Show Podcast.

Podcast published on January 14, 2013.

This is the 100th Jillian Michaels Show podcast!  Jillian talked about how she is puked on/pooped on/having boogers wiped on her.  Janice mentioned that Jillian changed as a host of the show.  She started feeling the need to call people.

1. Ginger's Eggs.  Janice talked about how her relative has a chicken was part of a group of chickens.  They call Heidi.  She doesn't know, though she took a class about raising chickens.  They are a flock.
2. The pronunciation of "produce."  It's pronounced differently in Canada and the United States.  Jillian doesn't believe her.  So, they call a supermarket in Canada.  The pronunciation was difficult to hear.
3. Fifty Shades of Gray.  Janice read the dirty pages of it.  They call the Barnes & Noble and talk to Peter and ask him why it is so popular.  He said that he thinks media exposure made it more popular.  Then, they call Jillian's friend Andi.  She said that it provides permission to talk about having relations under the guise of literature.
4. Daily Dose.  There's an episode about fall beauty tips in which Janice put a banana in her pants, but it was edited, so it's odd that it's there.  They called Jillian's mom, even though a dishwasher was being installed at her house.  Jillian asked if Jillian ever pulled a doll out of her pants like she was having a baby or put a banana in her pants.

They've had some great guests like Suze Orman, Danica Patrick, Tara Mohr, Suzanne Sommers, Myrtle Potter, and Dr. VanHerle.  Dr. V's Top Seven have been very popular.  Favorite was the Top Seven Things Found in Your Toilet.  Everyone should check what comes out into the toilet.  What comes out tells us about our metabolism and what's happening in your body.  Janice remixed the top seven so that it quickly listed a bunch of different kinds of poo.

The rest of the show played some of the funniest highlights from the past 100 shows.  Very funny!

Resentment will take you down - Notes from the Jillian Michaels Show Podcast - 8/11/12

Resentment

• Some people think it drives them.  It's like using gasoline.  It keeps your car going, but it ruins the environment, and costs you tons of money.  If you do something because you love it, there's no cost.
• What are the consequences of your resentment?  What are your alternatives?
• Acknowledge the part that you're playing in it.  How are you contributing to the situation?  Look at what it's costing you.
• Set boundaries.  You have to protect yourself.  
• Resentment is a waste of energy, time, and happiness.  Live in the light!  :-)

Negative Feedback - Tara Mohr came on to talk about negative feedback.

• Women are more affected by negative feedback.  Women's ideas about themselves changed because of the negative feedback.
• It's important to be able to endure negative feedback.  If you're living your authentic life, people will give negative feedback because they want you to conform more.  If you're vocal, or doing something important, people will give you negative feedback.
• Feedback tells you about the person giving the feedback.  It doesn't tell you about you.  It's not about dismissing them, but it's giving you information about the people you want to reach and influence.  You can use the feedback to fine tune and rework the project that you're working on.
• Remember that there are lots of possible truths.  Brainstorm about twenty different stories behind that feedback.
• Carol Dweck - What is the effect of praise on children.  It's important to reward for persistence and effort.  If you just praise for a job well done, it can be paralyzing.
• Expect to get negative feedback.  Go on Amazon and look up your favorite authors.  Look at the 5 star reviews, and look at 0 star reviews.  Everyone has negative feedback.
• Ten Rules for Brilliant Women - Free download by Tara Mohr.  Get it on her website:  http://www.taramohr.com/.

Snack Shockers!

• Five Starburst = 100 calories.  That's 15-20 minutes of exercise.
• Four Hershey's Kisses = 100 calories
• Four Tootsie Rolls = 100 calories
• Eight Dots = 100 calories
• Nine Whoppers = 100 calories
• People don't realize how many of these little things add up
• Monster Bacon and Beef Cheeseburger with Onion Rings at IHOP = 1900 calories.  That's more than most people should be eating in a day.
• You can still eat a burger, but not have it be so many calories.  If you make things at home, you can control the calories more.
• Be savvy and think about how many calories you're eating without realizing it.  Think about how  long you'll have to work out.  Are five Starburst worth 15 minutes of exercise to you?

Four Fitness Tools to Help You Condition Your Core

• Medicine Ball - Janice thought this was funny.  You're rotating, bending, and doing things that make you use your core.
• Free weights - Dumbbells - Overhead dumbbell walks.  You target your shoulder and force your torso to stabilize.
• Resistance bands
• Kettle bells - Janice warns that doing kettle bells in a cramped spot can be dangerous.  

Jillian also answered an email about exercise headaches, Sometimes caffeine can help.  Try having EBoost before your workout.  She answered another email from a former dancer that wants to reduce her thighs.  Eat less, and do a lot of endurance running if that's what you really want.
