Day 1 Report: Brandon Unveils Personal Struggles
In the heart of Sacramento, California, and near the Black Forest in Germany, five individuals have taken on a challenging yet exciting journey. They are the contestants of GreatistYou, a social experiment designed to help people change their health over six weeks with the aid of a mentor.
Brandon (@greatistbrandon), one of the participants, has openly shared his personal goals for the program. A self-proclaimed exercise hater, Brandon aims to move more, breathe easier, and improve his self-perception. He has also shared his weight with the public, setting a goal to lose weight during this six-week journey.
Brandon's first challenge in GreatistYou is to get up earlier every morning. This early rise is expected to set the tone for a day filled with healthy habits and activities.
Meanwhile, Jasmine (@greatistjasmine), another contestant, has been preparing Whole30-approved meals to fuel her journey. Her culinary creations include a spinach omelette with salsa and apricot, offering a delicious and nutritious option for breakfast. Jasmine's Whole30 meal ideas extend beyond breakfast, providing lunch and dinner options as well.
Jessi (@greatistmentor), the programme's mentor, is a beacon of inspiration for the contestants. Her favourite breakfast recipe, oatmeal with two eggs and a bit of cheese, is just one example of her commitment to healthy living. Jessi's wisdom and guidance are invaluable to the contestants as they navigate their individual health transformations.
The GreatistYou programme offers a promise of a better life and a $1,000 prize. However, the ultimate reward is the personal growth and improvements each contestant will experience over the six weeks.
The contestants' journeys are being broadcast for public viewing, allowing everyone to follow along and offer support. Brandon can be found on GreatistYou under the handle @greatistbrandon.
In addition to the physical transformation, Greatist also offers resources for beginners in yoga. Darby and Adrienne (@greatistdanda) took advantage of these resources, attending their first yoga class in years and completing it successfully.
As the programme progresses, the contestants continue to face challenges and celebrate victories. Regina's epic victory dance helped alleviate Monday blues, reminding everyone that even small achievements can have a big impact.
Brandon, seeking advice on preventing sandal tans, is just one example of the contestants' determination to make the most of this opportunity. As the journey unfolds, it's clear that each contestant is committed to making lasting changes and improving their lives.
Stay tuned for updates on the GreatistYou programme as these five individuals strive for a healthier, happier life.
