With the deadline quickly approaching we thought you could use a little more motivation for the final stretch.
So here’s another tale of a successful and powerful Venus who started the program this year.
I first met Jonda in person on March 6 of this year at the Firehouse in Old Sacramento
You have to be READY to make a change.
Jonda is a successful business woman with a busy career. She had purchased the Venus program a while back but found she was not quite ready to start. She had a number of health issues to sort out, so she found me and we connected on Facebook.
She lives on the East Coast in the USA and happened to be visiting a business partner in California where I live. She contacted me on March 6th and we decided to meet for dinner. It was a wonderful and elegant meeting at the Firehouse restaurant in Old Sacramento. We talked about Venus and various diet strategies, but mostly just had a beautiful time with her business partner Julia.
What happened when Jonda was finally READY?
Jonda came back to California and “Kidnapped” me for an overnight Venus meeting.
On April 20th Jonda Lowe came to California and “kidnapped” me for a Venus slumber party.
I reluctantly took a break from my normal busy life and allowed her and her business partner Julia to love on me and pray for me during the overnight capture.
We went for a nice long walk in the hills where the cows wandered nearby.
During the visit we made my beloved homemade popcorn cooked in coconut oil and went for long walks in the hills where cows wander freely.
Jonda peppered me with questions over dinner, of which I of course did not mind.
It’s my passion. It’s what I write about every day.
She is vegetarian because of health needs and thus needed some help figuring out the holes in her diet in order to achieve her goals.
With the Venus workout and principles, along with supplements to fill the holes in her diet, we came up with a plan.
Jonda is one of those who really took it to heart and applied it. She is driven. She has passion. She has fire.
Not only that, she is genuine, loving, kind, and highly ethical and professional. She is female POWER through and through, as she forges her own destiny with the gifts God has given her.
She takes action with guidance.
And she learns from mistakes. Has she made a few mistakes since April 20th until today?
Absolutely, but she knows how to regroup and keep forging ahead.
Did the strategy work?
Well here’s the data..
Calories over time
Jonda’s meal plan on July 18th.
Here’s what she says in her own words:
Messing around with the reports section on MFP. My only regret Roberta is that I didn’t take the 1000 cal with 100g of protein daily regimen more seriously at the beginning of my transformation. I convinced myself that the extra 150-200 cal/day wasn’t that big of a deal and what could an extra 20g of protein matter? Well I found out that cutting the 150-200 calories and adding in an extra 20+g of protein keeps me full and I am cruising toward my ideal Venus Index weight. I want to give a special shoutout to Will Grumke. When I first added the 1st Phorm’s Bliss Go Pack, I was getting hungry. Will encouraged me to eat closer to the 100g of protein per day to stay full. I’ll say it again, the Program works if you do!
But that’s just the diet side of the coin.
What about the workouts?
When we were together in April Jonda asked a lot of questions about the workouts and what her strategy should be for equipment. She decided to join a nearby gym. Once she started there was no stopping. She posted a lot of gym updates on her Facebook profile and posted questions on my timeline. This kept her accountable and by posting the questions on my timeline others got the benefit of seeing the answers. She inspired others the whole way.

Do you see how much she has changed since our walk in the hills with the cows in April?
She is amazing. She is inspiring. She is an example to all those around her.
She is going places. You might want to follow in her footsteps.
Pretty amazing what you can do when you:
Never give up
Never settle
Live your dream
