Well today was the day that I met Rip Esselstyn. The author of 'The Engine 2 Diet'. He was here for an event in Chapel Hill. The event was at Hargraves Community Center (which is a really nice btw).
The event started off with a 'light' workout. I use light in quotes because it was anything but light. I worked up a pretty good sweat. It was really great going through each of the exercises from the book. It is one thing to read them in a book, but another to have a live demo on how exactly each exercise should be completed.
After 45 minutes of the workout was the book signing and Q&A. Unfortunately I had to leave early so I was able to track Rip down and get my book signed and my picture with Rip and my Whole Foods E2 coach Jenn.
"Matt, Plant-Strong! Day 4 and Counting... Go, Matt, Go! Rip" Definitely something to keep me going on this journey!

Never discussed the exercise part of this diet. Are the exercises easy enough to do at home by yourself? I'll be intersted in looking at that part of the book.
ReplyDeleteStay strong! You're doing great...does seem pretty labor intensive as far as food prep goes.
Rip is such an incredible motivator!
