Big Girls Do It Running by Jasinda Wilder
4.0
Incredibly inspiring book with lots of great information and recommendations. I haven't read any of the authors romance novels (but will remedy that soon), but I was inspired by her story and wanted to see what advice she had to share. Especially having discovered a love for running myself in the past year.
Every person is different, and not everyone will benefit from the same program, which Jasinda makes clear in her book. Some things I agreed with, like cutting out sugar from your diet, because I lost 75 lbs by doing the same thing. I don't agree with her about not counting calories as that was also a major tool in my weight loss, but it didn't work for her, and it's another example where one thing may work for one person but not someone else. The biggest lesson you can learn from her book is to never give up. She went through so many trials and health issues and could've easily given up, but she created a program that worked for her and has proven to work for many others. I'm going to take some of her advice and incorporate some of her recipes into my diet. I bookmarked a lot of pages!
I did learn a lot and highly recommend this book. It's also a very quick read!
