We’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. 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.

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!
