    Episode 404 – Error Not Found

    So, you listened to our most recent episode and you managed to navigate the Halloween candy being thrown at you and you stayed on track.  Congratulations, that’s not an easy task.  But just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it turns out there’s another shark in there.  This shark’s name is Daylight Saving Time.  But instead of arriving like a shark to eat you, it’s leaving.  Whatever.  The shark analogy still works.  Many of us have a difficult time with the shortened daylight hours arriving at the same time as the colder weather.  It makes sticking to healthy habits an even more difficult job.  This week, Catherine and Donald give some suggestions for adjusting by making changes to your clothes, movement, and food and the concept of Hygge makes an appearance all the way from Denmark.  Plus, Donald watches Matterhorn jumping, Catherine’s knees come a knocking, and the couple introduces you to Hot Axe Throwing. Be sure to listen all the way to the end for a special announcement about the show.

    Episode 402 – GLP-101

    If you’re a person in the world, and most of us are, you have probably heard of GLP-1 medication for weight loss. Listener James wrote in to ask about navigating some of the unexpected hurdles of taking it. GLP-1s aren’t part of our own routine, but we think it’s great that they’re available for those who benefit from them. People deserve options that fit their needs. Plus, Catherine is a recently certified GLP-1 coach! This week, she and her sidekick husband Donald, talk about how GLP-1 drugs work, common side effects, letting go of your reliance on hunger cues, best nutritional practices, and managing eating out with friends. Whether you’re curious about GLP-1s or already taking GLP-1s, this is the episode for you. Plus, Catherine introduces babies, Donald is a trophy husband, and what the “G” in “GLP-1” stands for may surprise you. If you or someone you know is interested in GLP-1 coaching, please email weonlylookthin@gmail.com.

    Episode 399 – Stop, Drop, and WOLT

    If you’re a baby and you’re reading this, you’re probably a genius.  Congratulations Baby Genius!  If you’re older than a baby, you’ve probably taken part in some sort of emergency preparedness drill.  A fire drill, earthquake drill, tornado drill, or some other exercise so that you can be ready if the worst happens.  Hopefully you never need to use what you learn in these drills, but most of us would agree that it’s a good idea to be ready just in case. What you probably haven’t done, is make a plan if the worst happens with your healthy habits.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the importance of practicing and having a plan in a habit emergency so that you don’t just keep digging yourself into a deeper hole when things get difficult.  Plus, Catherine looks forward to Public Service Announcements, Donald is not sailing away, and we sure could use Dick Van Dyke again.

    Episode 398 – Time Bandits

    There are many types of bandits in the world.  We all know about train robbers, highwaymen, and cattle rustlers, oh, my!  What about those bandits who are stealing our time?  It seems like we never have enough time to exercise, eat right, or get a good night’s sleep.  What if that wasn’t true and was just a story we’re telling ourselves?  What if the real bandit was just the way we were looking at our lives?  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how we often tell ourselves that we don’t have time and then act in a way that proves ourselves right.  By reframing our narratives about time, we can change our identities from “I don’t have time” to “I’m the kind of person who makes room for things that matter”.  Plus, Catherine watches one inappropriate movie after another, Donald wonders when he can start blaming other people for things, and even toasters can be traumatizing.
