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.

Most lagoons are associated with a color. When you visit The Blue Lagoon, you expect to find a couple of shipwrecked teenagers teaching themselves biology. When you visit The Black Lagoon, you expect to find a creature who isn’t too happy to see you. But what do you expect to find when you visit The Snack Lagoon? You guessed it, another creature. But this time, the creature is you. And this creature is hungry. Hungry for snacks! This week, Catherine and Donald help you navigate this particular lagoon during Halloween candy season and beyond. Plus, Catherine sets you up to find The Crypt Keeper, Donald hangs out in high cabinets, and the couple finally reveal exactly who Abbott and Costello will meet.

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 [email protected].

Toughies.  You threw them all at us and we delivered the goods.  And what I mean is, you asked us so many great questions for our 400th episode, that we spent a whole other episode, this one, giving you great answers.  Does being vegetarian make it easier?  How do you think self-esteem affects weight loss?  What’s your favorite piece of advice that you’ve given?  The answer to these questions and more await within!  Plus, Donald calls upon Ethos, Catherine gets mail in the mail, and the couple get into the dark underbelly of love and support.

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.

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.

It seems like it would be a good idea to envision your best day.  Imagine everything going exactly to plan.  You conceive of eating on target, nailing your exercise, and getting a great night’s sleep.  Imagining and planning for all this would be a good idea except that it’s opposite day.  This week, Catherine and Donald ask you to imagine your worst day; the day when you do everything wrong when it comes to your weight loss and fitness.  By looking at all of your worst-case behavior, it can make better choices more obvious.  From there, you can make realistic improvements towards your ultimate goals.  Plus, there were shivings in Catherine’s school yard, Donald feels the burn deep in his soul, and it turns out that this episode is a dramatic dramatization.

You might not believe this, but some people wear clothes every day.  For some of those very same people, clothes can be a mental burden when you’re unhappy in your own body.  Even when your health and fitness habits are successful, it can be difficult to know how to deal with clothes that no longer fit and when to buy new ones.  Listener Kat wrote in all the way from The United Kingdom to ask Catherine and Donald for advice on when to re-shop for new outfits.  The couple talk about the importance of feeling good now, conducting a closet audit, and how to not break the bank when you might not be at the same size for long.  Plus, Catherine has keen Sherlockian powers, Donald wins a participation coupon, and it turns out that the locals call it “The UK”.

We know that some of you are fans of alternating current while others are fans of direct current, so in this episode we have included both AC and DC.  Do you ever think about a time when you were really in shape or really on track and wonder what happened?  Do you feel some guilt or shame when you try to compare yourself right now to that past version of yourself?  This week, Catherine and Donald discuss how we often compare ourselves to an ideal and how trying to immediately meet that ideal holds us back from real progress.  It’s important to honor the person you are and salute yourself before you take the first step.  Plus, Catherine is a gap bridger, Donald has recipes for Australian chicken parm, and our main thing is bringing good information.
