The power of Jillian.

As a few more people have started doing Jillian, and it's almost like a virtual gym class now*, I've noticed something. We tend to talk about Jillian as though she watches over us, and her words come out of our mouths, and we are empowered by her. It's really noticeable how we talk about Jillian. She is practically a cult leader. One long-term Jillianer has recently introduced Jillian to her mum. Even this sensible grown-up lady was texting that "Jillian would scold!". Jillian is a projection of our conscience and the voice of our will-power.

* Is anyone interested in some kind of online group where we can schedule workouts and tick them off when they are completed? I am more motivated when I am accountable and encouraged by others. Don't know if one exists. And we do it verbally anyway.
