Heads up: We normally don’t
censor ourselves on the show, but we do talk about a very mature
podcast a bit in the beginning. If you want to skip all that, we
finish talking about it by the 18:00-minute mark. It’s a
Pearl-Clutcher!
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.
Even though John and Emily are
both naturally homebodies, even they are getting a little restless
when it comes to being told to Stay Home. And that leads to some
stress eating, unfortunately. But we’re figuring things out as we
go along, as per usual.

In This Episode:
- Do
you also sing along to our theme song? We do today!
- What
do you think? Do you like the humor and the memes about Quarantine
and COVID-19?
- John
finds himself very undisciplined right now and running amok, but at
least he’s aware!
- Our
food planning skills are being tested heavily! Especially when it
comes to buying enough to eat and also store.
- We’re
all going to forgive John for not stepping on the scale this week
because the batteries were dead.
- Who’s
the mean person in your life? Is it you?
- But
John has decided to get some sunshine and fresh air. (Psst: I
talked to him later that day and it was a good
experience.)
- Have
you heard about Dying for Sex? What do you think?
- We’re
also looking for distractions — something that has nothing to do
with current events.
- Everyone! Big news! Julie Andrews is OK! (There
was nothing wrong with her, but Emily worries if she doesn’t get a
Julie Andrews update every so often.)
- Emily
is pulling back and taking a look at her business and how it fits
into what’s going on.
- She
also is turning off the phone during the day or putting Do Not
Disturb on her phone.
- Be
aware of the Scarcity Mentality that many of us are in. This raises
our stress and many of us hold onto weight when our stress is up.
Thank goodness for yoga, mindfulness and making plans you look
forward to.
- Want
to lure Emily out of her house? Offer her food!
- Weddings are just older
people-Proms!
- “Fail
to Prepare, Prepare to Fail” - Annette-spirations from the Live
Chat Room!
- We
also both having crazy dreams — anyone else?
- “If
you’re doing what you should be doing, the outcome doesn’t matter.”
- This week’s John-spiration!
- Congratulations to everyone for their
#WinningWednesday posts!
- Later, Weighters!
We’d love to hear your scale and
non-scale victories! Come celebrate your wins over in the
