We Only LOOK Thin

It seems like New Year’s Eve was only yesterday, but six whole months have gone by since then.  Rude.  If you’re like a lot of us, you may have already forgotten what your goals for 2022 were.  Maybe you’re already thinking about starting again in 2023.  But what if instead, you took advantage of the time that’s left in 2022?  This week, Catherine and Donald discuss the fact that we don’t become new people by turning the page on a calendar, and because they’re mean, they point out that the best time to start adding healthy habits to your life, is right now.  Plus, Catherine forgets the message, Donald tries to rhyme something with “fiscal”, and the couple wants you to be as blasé as they are.

Are you planning to “get away” this summer?  Are you taking a road trip, plane trip, boat trip, and/or scooter trip?  Are you also planning to take a break from your health and fitness habits while you’re away?  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how to go into your vacation without packing your all or nothing attitude.  It’s possible to come out the other side and still be proud of your choices.  In the end, it’s not what you do on your vacation that matters, it’s what you do before and after that has the greatest impact in the long run.  Plus, Donald wants to hold the cheese, Catherine doesn’t want you to look like a chump, and the couple both want you to use the Terminator’s magic eyeball.

You know how sequels are ALWAYS better than the original? We Only Look Thin proves it again this week.

Catherine and Donald give you more ways to identify the energy vampires in your life and help you navigate how to deal with them so that you have the energy and focus to accomplish your health and fitness goals. Plus, Catherine wants you to “yeah, go that way”, Donald is the tangent man, and accountability is even scarier than vampires.

Vampires.  When they look like Brad Pitt or sparkle like Edward Cullen, we love ’em.  When they sap our energy, time, and emotional bandwidth, not so much.  This week, Catherine and Donald give you part 1 of how to recognize and deal with the Energy Vampires in your life.  Why?  Because when our energy, time, and emotional bandwidth are drained, we turn to food for comfort and ignore our own helth and fitness goals.  Setting up boundaries with the Energy Vampires in your life can be a huge step in allowing you to care for yourself.  Plus, Catherine’s new thing is saying “hearts”, Donald invites you to try Ecuadorian Salsa, and this thing goes all the way to the top.

If you were around in the 1980’s, you may remember the Jordache look.  Denim, hairspray, and the most intense finger snapping you’ve ever seen.  In 2022, today’s look is brought you by food delivery apps.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how to navigate your health and fitness plan in an age when you can have everything delivered to you all of the time.  The ease of access leads to the ease of weight gain. Plus, Catherine is a thin-trepreneur, Donald is a coat tail rider, and despite what we were promised, this episode does not contain flying cars or hover boards.

You might be in a hurry to drop your relatives off at the airport or go and see the new Police Academy movie, but should you be in a hurry to lose weight?  Do you have a high school reunion or wedding or dominoes competition coming up and you want to quickly lose some weight to look good for the old gang?  We’ve all been there, but is it a good idea?  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how setting a deadline is not a plan for weight loss.  Putting your habits in place one at a time, is. Just like with the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race.  Plus, Catherine plans for 6th grade cotillion, Donald is going to his event, and the couple buy each other a sparkling water which is definitely as fun as a Coke.

Anyone can do a podcast about relationships with people, but only a select few can do a podcast about relationships with an inanimate object.  This week, Catherine and Donald talk about your relationship with the scale and how to navigate it.  You may feel a lot of pressure to hit a perfect number and it may reflect on your self-worth.  This week the couple talk about the frequency of weighing yourself, how it affects your mood, and how to develop a neutral relationship with the scale.  Plus, Catherine coaches tiny cabbages, Donald brings up fantasy football again, and the couple can only afford one “T”.

In an alternate timeline, Mark Twain might have said, everyone talks about calorie deficits and the weather, but no one does anything about either of them. If you’re like a lot of people, you’ve heard you should be in a calorie deficit or eat a “low calorie diet”, but you’re not sure what that means. More importantly, you’re not sure how to prevent yourself from feeling like you’re starving all the time while doing it. Catherine and Donald have been there too. This week, the couple address ways in which you can maintain a calorie deficit while feeling satisfied in your food choices. They offer you four questions to ask yourself as you go on your fitness journey that have helped them reach their goal weights and stay there. Plus, Catherine wins the day, Donald takes his calories back to the future, and the couple reveals a terrible secret.
