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. Life isn’t easy for many of us, and while staying healthy is important, there’s a lot we’re all juggling. We want to take this opportunity to remind yourself to have grace for yourself and others. 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.

Emily is gearing up to go into maintenance mode for a while with her weight-loss and starting to reprioritize in her life.

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_outlineWe’re in yet another week of Quarantine but we’re grateful we’ve been on this health journey together. At the time of this recording, Emily was finishing up a Spirit Week Challenge where she dressed up for theme days every day for a week. And John has decided he’s going to hunker down once he started reading about how those in the obese/morbidly obese camp are more susceptible.
Everyone, stay safe out there! We’re so grateful you choose to spend your time with us and we hope we continue to entertain you right now.
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.

In This Episode:
- We are Quarantine Crazy.
- Emily has enacted a Spirit Week Challenge because she is bored of her current wardrobe.
- Every day had a theme — Monday: Favorite book or movie character; Tuesday: Retro Day — pick a decade; Wednesday: Disney; Thursday: Sports Jersey; and Friday (the day we recorded): All Dressed Up with No Where to Go.
- Both Emily and John were dressed up and recording Live in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group!
- Emily is also doing Spirit Week during Shark Week. Emily makes sure to broadcast to everyone, including her uterus, she is not pregnant!
- John gets to experience a NSV — his suit is now loose! He wouldn’t have known otherwise.
- Now that Emily has lost weight, she finds that she only wore certain outfits and dresses once before losing too much weight and swimming in them.
- John’s trying to work the carbs back out of his system. And it’s very hard right now to get fresh produce right now in stores. We’re also freaked out by the viral videos of people doing gross things in super markets. And the salad bar has always been iffy, ugh!
- InstaCart is so unpredictable, so one shipment came after two weeks, another came in two days. Emily and her husband also tried Shipt and that worked well, too.
- John is starting to worry about hunkering down, especially for people who are obese/morbidly obese.
- But he’s getting in an Intermittent Fasting groove again, doing 16-8.
- Emily has a problem when it comes to new food in the house where she wants to eat all the new snacks and especially comfort food. Emily even has a little moment discussing all the foods she would have as a last meal.
- Emily was able to get creative while she was waiting for her grocery order and was able to go through her stockpile of food she would buy and forget about.
- Emily is missing her WaffleFuls! Hoping Brickbox in Stratford, CT, opens up again soon!
- We’re both missing our fast-food, but turns out, John knows a lot about preparing squirrel meat.
- Yay for the #WinningsWednesdays! You are all awesome!
- It’s not just you — every day seems like it’s a week long to all of us.
- Later, Weighters!
We’d love to hear your scale and non-scale victories! Come celebrate your wins over in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook!
