What better way for two podcasters to check in with each other on their weight loss adventures than by starting a podcast about it?

Join John and Emily each week as they share their successes and struggles with weight loss.

This Quarantine Is Starting to Get to Us

Apr 13, 2020

Sorry 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.

New to Hate to Weight? Make sure you’re subscribed so you’ll never miss an episode and so you can listen to all the back episodes!

Don’t forget, you can talk to us and other Weighters while we record by going to the Hate to Weight Discussion Group on Facebook. We record every Thursday at 11 a.m.!

Call in your WINS or RANTS anytime! 760-WINNING -— 760-946-6464

We are not doctors. Please talk to your doctor before trying any new diet or exercise routine. We try our hardest to link to useful resources we have mentioned. If you have any questions, please email hatetoweight@gmail.com.

 

In This Episode:

  • 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!
  • John is also a bit hungover while recording.
  • 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.
  • Emily’s planning a Spirit Week Challenge! Want to spruce up your daily wardrobe? Check it out!
  • Have you ever eaten a typical food so much that you actually get sick of it and never eat it again?
  • 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.
  • Emily is actually missing crowds. Not people — just crowds.
  • “Mental health comes first … but, Pearl Jam!”
  • Thank you to our listener Deb who described our show as a “clubhouse for those losing weight” on Reddit!
  • Should we rename our Facebook group the Hate to Weight Clubhouse.
  • We’re also featured on Feedspot’s Top 20 Weight Loss Podcasts You Should Follow in 2020!
  • 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!
  • 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!
