Episode 383 – The Case of the Secret Snack
If you’re like me and you think about food all the time, when you hear the word “secret”, your mind might go straight to “secret sauce” or “secret herbs and spices”. But did you know that there are other kinds of secrets? Sometimes, because of the emotions surrounding our weight, we might eat in secret. This week, Catherine and Donald examine secret eating like a detective and try to crack the case. Did you have the means, the opportunity, and the motivation? What were the reasons behind it and how can you reduce it in the future? Plus, Catherine hangs out with crime dogs, Donald gets sent to his room, and we may just have the perfect name for your next band. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 382 – Fraud Hard
There’s a raging debate on the internet about whether or not this is a Christmas episode. It has all the hallmarks; it’s being released in May and the hosts mention Christmas once or twice. Despite those clues, you’ll have to make up your own mind. Anyway, this week Catherine and Donald talk about ways to stop fooling ourselves. Sometimes while trying to get healthy, we can be our own worst enemy. But by building internal honesty systems and external accountability structures, we can become the champion of our choices. Plus, Catherine makes it weird, Donald’s wristwatch is Irish, and people are jazzed and think it’s a hoot. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 381 – Warning Label
Movies, TV shows, and books make you think that committing fraud is all fun and games. The reality of committing fraud can look very different from the glamorous portrayal in literature and on the screen. Similarly, when we cheat ourselves on our health and fitness goals, there are obvious downsides, but there are also hidden dangers. This week, Catherine and Donald reveal how fooling yourself on your goals really only cheats you. Whether from the mental exhaustion of self-deception or the erosion of your relationship with your body, lying to yourself can keep you from hitting your goals in ways you may not have thought of. Plus, Donald takes a mustard-shaped knife out of his back, Catherine is hot for Hardy, and there are lots of good-looking young men in this episode. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 380 – Goal Control
The triangle might be your favorite musical instrument and you might collect original vinyl albums from the world’s greatest trianglists. Or maybe you’ve enjoyed being “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob” in one of literature’s greatest love triangles. But unless you’re an accountant, you probably have never heard of a “fraud triangle”. This week, Catherine and Donald take a concept from the high stakes world of corporate accounting, and make it about health and fitness. If you have the pressure, opportunity, and ability to rationalize, you can commit fraud when it comes to your health and fitness goals. It turns out that the person who gets cheated is yourself. Plus, Donald cooks up an analogy, Catherine flies 3000 miles to sweep, and Ben Affleck plays Donald’s father in the movie. Join WOLT Place!

Some people are afraid of the dark because they can’t see the ghouls. Other people are afraid of the dark because that’s when their relentless snaking happens. Catherine and Donald probably can’t help with the ghouls, but they just might be able to help with the snacks. This week, the couple take you through some strategies for managing your night-time eating. Adding some planning, eating more protein & fiber, and focusing on your emotions are just a few of the ways to start. Plus, Catherine wears her folksy overalls, Donald partakes of forbidden Calgon, and it turns out that your evening actually starts in the morning. Join WOLT Place!

Whether it’s racing formula 1, becoming a fire truck when we grow up, or losing 5 pounds, we’ve all said that we wanted to do something, but then haven’t done it. Most of the time we don’t take the next step and really look at what’s making it difficult to do what we say we want to do. That’s where Dr. BJ Fogg and his ability chain comes in.

Episode 375 – Going Streaking
Historians and the people who lived through it, often ask the question, “what the heck was wrong with the 1970s? Disco, mood rings, pet rocks, and of course, streaking. The act of running through a public place without any clothes on as a prank became very popular. Sure, you burned some calories, but what the fudge? Anyway, this episode is about a different kind of streak. In weight loss, we often try to do the same healthy habits every single day for a period of time. There can be a lot of good things about this, but what happens when the streak ends? Do you start again or just give up entirely? This week, Catherine and Donald talk about the pros and cons of streaks and suggest some other ways to approach your positive habits. Plus, Catherine has been sitting under a heat lamp, Donald marries a streaky wife, and the couple let you behind the cloak of the dagger. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 374 – Postmortem
The word “postmortem” comes from the Latin words “post” (after) and “mortem” (death). What a cheerful way to start a podcast! My point here is that businesses are too lazy to come up with new words, so they’ve co-opted the word “postmortem” to refer to looking back at a project after it’s over to figure out what went right and what could have been improved upon. This week, Catherine and Donald are asking you to do the same thing, but for your weight loss and fitness goals. By looking at what we’ve done in the past, we can make adjustments moving forward to get us even closer to accomplishing our goals. Plus, Donald gets involved in some monkey business, Catherine plays the blame game, and despite what you may have heard, there are no more mortems. Join WOLT Place!

This week, the couple answer the second question from listener Erin in Ohio, “How will I know when I’ve lost enough”? The answer isn’t as easy as it might seem to some and the couple walk you through some steps to prepare for maintenance, what maintaining a goal weight really means, and how to keep the pursuit fulfilling.

Episode 371 – Let’s Weight Awhile
Listener Erin wrote in asking about how to deal with plateaus. At first, we thought it was strange that she’d turn to us for information about areas of relatively level, high ground. Maybe there was a Geology podcast we could recommend. Then we realized she was asking about how to deal with periods in your weight-loss journ-venture when your results level off. How do you know when it’s “normal” and when you’ve really hit a plateau? How do you deal with it both physically and mentally? What are some strategies to push past a plateau? Catherine and Donald talk about all of this and more. Plus, Catherine says “hormones” like an adult, Donald listens to the Ohio based cover band, “The Buckeye’d Peas”, and learn the startling origin of the mutant, “Loosey Goosey”. Join WOLT Place!

Episode 365 – Alan or Nothing
It’s our 7-year anniversary! Hooray! To celebrate, we’re going to talk about giving up. Isn’t’ that just like us? Sometimes, we bump up against a number on the scale that just won’t budge, and it can feel like bumping our heads against the wall. Listener Alan wrote in about this situation and how it can lead to wanting to give up entirely. Catherine and Donald talk about beginning 2025 with a clean slate, looking at things differently, and really breaking past those barriers that we set for ourselves in 2024. Don’t think about forever but rather look at your actual life and make practical strategies and choices for the short-term. Plus, super fun Donald does not show up, Catherine brings 40 years of overeating, and we finally get flying cars.
