I'm on the Today show!
What a whirlwind the past week has been!
First I had a call from the folks at iVillage.com where I'm the Healthy Eating Expert at www.iVillage.com/diet about a possible spot on the Today show. NBC purchased iVillage recently, and now they're able to share content with other NBC platforms. They wanted info on Top 10 Diet Mistakes Women Make. I hear these all the time from women I work with, women on the message boards, and of course in the research.
The next thing I know I'm on the train to NYC. My hotel was right next to Rockefeller Plaza, where the MTV video awards were being held. Lots of security, lots of people; there's always something exciting going on in the city.
Friday morning I went to the NBC studios, met the iVillage folks in the green room (it's really a lot smaller than I expected it would be), and went in for hair and make-up. They told me they'd make me look like a princess, and I think they accomplished it. When I watched the tape, I couldn't believe that was really me!
Everyone from the producer, pages, sound guys, camera crew, and Ann Curry who interviewed me were wonderful. The Today show is shot outside this summer while they renovate their studio, and the crowds were huge! Jessica Simpson gave an outdoor concert, which drew lots of people. Two ladies even asked me for my autograph, and I ran into a woman I know from back home. Who would've thought it?
All I can say is the whole day was a lot of fun. Ann Curry was funny and inquisitive, I felt like I was talking with one of my clients instead of in front of millions of people (good thing I couldn't see them all!), and it was over in a flash.
I was on the show on Friday, September 1st, in a segment on the top 10 diet mistakes. You can search for it at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/
September certainly started off with a bang!
