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.

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!
