The Programme, week 6: Jessica's comments
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's been quite a good week. I've been on the case and I'm feeling a lot fitter. Over Christmas I slacked on The Programme a little bit, but there's a general move towards getting fit in the new year and it has made it easier having that wagon to get on to.
It was almost like I was learning about The Programme before Christmas and now I'm really putting it into practice. I generally ache, but I'm enjoying the exercise a lot and it's an absolute luxury having Lynne to come round and help me.
The diet has been a problem because there's quite a lot of stuff we've been told not to eat and it's difficult to find variation within that outline. It gets repetitive, and that's a danger. I spoke to Matt, the nutritionist, about it this week and he has given me a load of new ideas and recipes. There are so many healthy foods I didn't even know about! I've been eating porridge for breakfast and stocking up on things like Quinoa Flakes.
