• We recorded this a few days after Christmas and we got on the scale and dealt with the number like champions (sorta).

• Carb Hangovers are real!
• Shopping while hungry is bad — not just grocery shopping.
• Emily got a super duper scale for Christmas!

• We relate weight-loss numbers to podcasting numbers — sorry for the behind-the-scenes.
• Emily wants her Power Chin back!
• Yay (Dut-Dut!) for Winning Wednesday Posts!
