Meet Your Hosts:

• John Bukenas is a podcast editor from New Jersey. He started the podcast doing keto and intermittent fasting, but is now gearing up for bariatric surgery (probably) later this summer.
• Emily Prokop is a podcast editor from Connecticut. She has been doing Intermittent Fasting since April 2018 and has lost more than 50 pounds.

In This Episode:

• Trigger Warning: We talk about some current events in this week’s episode from the get-go. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those affected by the recent shootings in Texas and Ohio.
• The reason we talk about this on a show supposedly about weight loss is because it affected both of our stress levels, which affect our eating and dieting habits.
• John lost his car keys and was “stranded” in his house for three days! That’s one way to avoid the drive-thru!
• Our ADD/ADHD is also on overdrive lately.
• John had a good time out to eat with his daughter and had a little slip off the diet, but he is aware of it and is growing so much since last year!
• Do you have guilt over taking some time for exercise or self-care?
• Mom Guilt is real!
• This is your reminder to go do something just for YOU!
• Emily’s dealing with post-travel anxiety and depression.
• Oh! And also Shark Week!
• Did you know ADHD is girls and women is harder to spot? Females are more likely to internalize it.
• Don’t forget to be aware of your social energy!
• Thank goodness for routines and checklists.
• “The fluctuations are just too stupid” - LOL!!!
• Congratulations to everyone who posted their wins this week!
• Did you like how John did the outro bloopers?
• Later, Weighters!
