    Episode 350 – Mise en Place

    Most of us know that French is virtually impossible to translate, but there are a select few who understand some of the words.  Luckily, We Only Look Thin’s Catherine is one of those select few.  This week, the couple talk about how the culinary process, “Mise en Place”, or “Putting in Place”, can help us to achieve weight loss and fitness goals.  When we put the right habits and systems in place, it helps us do the things we say we want to do. Slow down, show yourself some patience, really observe your world, and ask yourself how you can make it easier. Plus, Catherine knows that the locals call it “French Land”, Donald doesn’t have time for a sense of calm, and the industrial revolution has taught us nothing. Join WOLT Place!

    Episode 349 – Freaky Friday

    If you’re like most of us, you’ve wished for a magical body transformation. To be granted a wish and to wake up in a brand new, perfect body. And you’ve probably promised that you’ve learned a lesson and you’ll always be good from now on if you can just be thin now. But if that really happened, would you know how to maintain that weight or would you celebrate with food? This week, Catherine and Donald talk about looking forward to maintaining your goal weight even as you work towards hitting that goal weight. You need to work on putting in place the skills, systems, habits, and behaviors in place to keep the goal weight you’re looking to hit. Plus, Catherine likes doilies and whisking, Donald tries to attract listeners from outer space, and the 1970s did not care about backstory. Join WOLT Place!

    Episode 348 – Growth Spurt

    We’ve all asked Mary, Mary quite contrary how her garden grows and she’s given us some story about using silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row. That story doesn’t seem to check out. What effect do silver bells have on plant growth? What even is a “cockle shell” anyway? When you think about it, the right question should be, “how do I make my mindset grow?” You’ve come to the right place for answers. This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the importance of a growth mindset in achieving your weight and health goals and more importantly, how you shift your mindset in the right direction. You’re more capable of achieving difficult goals than you probably think. Plus, Catherine is jealous of everyone, Donald definitely doesn’t work for a sneaker company, and space-age water coolers really do exist. Join WOLT Place!

    Episode 347 – Autumn Reset

    Labor Day Sale?!? Pumpkin Spice?!? Halloween Decorations?!?  Wasn’t the summer just getting started?  If you’re like a lot of us, you entered the year with lofty goals for your weight, health, and fitness.  And if you’re like a lot of us, things haven’t turned out how you’d hoped. It’s tempting as we head into the Fall to just put it all off until next year.  This week, Catherine and Donald walk you through the habits that they are re-committing to this fall so that they don’t dig themselves into a deeper hole before next year.  Go into the last part of the year in a way that you’ll be proud of. Plus, someone throws persimmons at Catherine, Donald eats a kiwi out of spite, and the couple gives you dobs, dabs, and dollops. Join WOLT Place!

    Episode 346 – Bouncing Back on Track

    Have you ever thought to yourself something like, “a positive attitude just means you’re not really paying attention to the word” or “these people need to get their heads out of the clouds and face that fact that they’re never going to get there”.? If you answered “yes”, you might need to work on your resilience.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the habits of people who are able to take the bad with the good and use it all to achieve their weight loss goals. It turns out that you can cultivate a growth frame of mind.  Like with many things, it takes developing habits and practicing them.  If you’re so afraid of failure that you don’t try anything, you’re also not trying to succeed at anything.  Plus, Catherine pays homage to an 80’s classic, Donald wants to be part of the sack lunch bunch, and none of this has anything to do with Lawrence Welk.

    Episode 344 – Won Moment in Time

    The Olympics may be winding down, but there are still a ton of lessons that “regular people” can learn from Olympians. In a lot of ways, hitting a goal weight is a lot like winning an Olympic medal.

    Episode 343 – Olympics of One

    If you’re like me, you were watching the Olympic Men’s gymnastics rings event this morning and you were thinking, “I could never do that”. Or maybe you were thinking, “It must be nice to just be able to do nothing except exercise all the time. If I could do that, I’d finally be thin.” Or maybe, “I would have made a great pole vaulter if I’d tried.” It turns out that none of those thoughts really helps us on our health and fitness journey-adventure. But what if there were some things that “regular people” could learn from Olympic Athletes? This week, with the help of an article by Joe Kita on WebMD, Catherine and Donald break down some mindset perspectives used by top athletes that you can apply to your own daily life. Plus, Catherine is better than an article writer, Donald has tendency separation surgery, and most sporting events teach us nothing. Join WOLT Place!
