John's Whirlwind Week and Delicious Drive-Thru Options
Hate to Weight
Another week of quarantine and tensions rising. John ended his last episode recording and the rest of his week was a whirlwind of anxiety, sickness and a death scare! But luckily, everyone is OK.

Like drive-through? So do we, but we can still make plenty of healthy choices. Watch the LIVE Recording: New to Hate to Weight? Make sure you’re and so you can listen to all the back episodes!...

DDP Yoga, Making Healthy Choices for Weight-Loss, and Some Very Salty Language!
Hate to Weight
Watch the LIVE Recording: We are starting to focus on making good choices and John is even trying out yoga! We also got a bit carried away with our discussion and we run a little long in this episode. Also, STRONG LANGUAGE ALERT around 55 minutes in — we mark our podcast as explicit anyway, but we want you to know that the C-word is used quite a bit. While we're comfortable saying it, not everyone is comfortable hearing it. We want to be respectful to listeners by giving you an advanced warning if this offends you. When we record this, we are currently in the midst of the...

A Question About Sweetener and Intermittent Fasting
Hate to Weight
Watch the LIVE Recording: We got a question before the show we spend some time going through about using sweetener with Intermittent Fasting and we go into it a bit. We also talk about how COVID is affecting our lives — we’re in the Northeast so it’s pretty much all around us. And can you tell our ADHD went a little wild on this show? When we record this, we are currently in the midst of the Covid-19/coronavirus pandemic. We strive to be as accurate as possible on our podcast, but we are not experts.

Boosting Productivity and Becoming Mindful
Hate to Weight
Watch the LIVE Recording: Are we in a “New Normal” yet? For us, we both work at home so the dust is beginning to settle, but there are still a lot of changes we haven’t anticipated. John has started a new organizational program and Emily has been adding more veggies to her meals and trying to be more mindful about why she finds herself in the kitchen. We talk a lot about our current situations, which as you may know if you’re listening to this around the time it comes out, is the COVID-19 social distancing stuff. It’s important to mention, as we do every episode, we are not doctors....
info_outlineSorry for the late-releasing episodes! We're still trying to adjust our schedules for our own client work, as well as this podcast.
We're both adapting to our quarantines and it's a stressful time, for sure. John is a bit hungover on today's episode and has recently shaved his head. And Emily is dealing with a sick spouse (not COVID, thankfully) but it's still stressful on top of everything else.
We talk a lot about our current situations, which as you may know if you’re listening to this around the time it comes out, is related to the COVID-19 crisis. It’s important to mention, as we do every episode, we are not doctors. Please refer to the CDC website guidelines for information or any questions you may have.

- Welcome to Day Whatever It Is of Quarantine!
- John has shaved his head! Don’t forget to join the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook so you can see!

- Emily has found herself wanting a cigarette. The stress from this whole thing is real, y’all! Thank goodness we can’t go out.
- Don’t smoke, kids. Ever.
- And don’t listen to 18-year-old Emily. She’s missing her college vices and has chosen swearing as her current vice to relieve stress.
- Please! Stay home! Keep your bubble intact and sing some Police if you need to — “Don’t stand so close to me!”
- John is ready to hunker down until there is a vaccine. He’s getting back into Intermittent Fasting and eventually keto.

- We’re coming up on our Two-Year Anniversary of this show.
- Be prepared — Emily goes into a segment about Easter Candy and the different varieties she loves.
- Warning: If you are starting Intermittent Fasting, drinking will be a bit different. Take your time because alcohol usually hits differently.

- Should we rename our Facebook group the Hate to Weight Clubhouse.

- Emily’s husband has a cold this week and is doing the work of two parents, plus trying to work, plus dealing with the world as it is. Suffice to say, it’s been a hard week and the journey to getting one clean knife was enough to throw her into a tizzy.
- In case anyone needs it, Mobile Smash Rooms are a thing!
- Even though there’s a lot of stress in Emily’s house, she was able to eat some food she doesn’t normally get because her husband is sick. Silver linings.
- Awesome Winning Wednesdays, everyone! We’re so glad you’re all still working toward your goals with us!
- Emily’s PMS/Season of Our Discontent is still going on. No pregnancy on the horizon, just stress.
- Sorry for the later episodes. We’re working on being more consistent!
