Beyond the Weight with Henny and Sandy

Join us as we chat about the things we keep track of (and we’re not talking only SmartPoints and weight) and where we keep track of them. Sandy has a great question about movies that she borrowed from a podcast she’s started listening to (Films to Be Buried With), and we have fun going down memory lane for a bit. Then Sandy makes fun of Henny for having a deep freezer (doesn’t everyone have one?). Finally, Henny shares some super fascinating facts about the BMI that she learned on an episode of another podcast she stumbled across (Rebel Eaters Club). Join us!

Join us as we chat about the ins and outs and ups and downs of building and maintaining relationships using Jancee Dunn’s book, How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids, as a starting point. We laugh knowingly at her assertion that one of the most common arguments that happens between people who cohabitate is about how to load the dishwasher! Sandy regales us with her latest culinary adventures . . . she’s growing her own sprouts, making her own recipes, and using a slower cooker (sort of). Finally, we discuss Sandy’s latest podcast love: Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. Do you listen to that one too?

Join us as we chat about Sandy’s most recent kitchen antics including fermenting cabbage to make kimchi and massaging kale to make kale . . . edible. This leads into a conversation of the difference between fermented foods and pickled foods (a topic of which we know absolutely nothing). We ponder how we get ourselves motivated to accomplish the things we set out to do when procrastination station seems to be holding us captive. Finally, we dive into a deep and meaningful discussion about foods that taste so much better than they look. What do you find delicious that looks a total mess?

Join us as we chat about napping: does it work, is it good for you, and is feeling “sleep drunk” an actual thing? We also discuss mindful eating habits, and how important it is to consider not just what you eat but how you eat it. Did you know that there are actually two different styles of holding cutlery? And that they impact the way you eat? Sandy fills us all in, and it’s fascinating. Finally, Henny shares about her recent switch to the Green plan on myWW+, and she’s loving it. It’s a chock-full episode! Enjoy!

Join us as we chat about the fact that Sandy has truly become one of those crazy people who eat only seven almonds, and Henny has to eat her words a bit because Sandy’s not that crazy. Sandy also shares a bit of advice (to all of us, but mostly to Henny) about the things she learned women should be doing prior to menopause in order to prepare them to be healthy during the big change of life. Finally, we reminisce about our favourite things to read as children, gab about the customer loyalty programs we love, and decide whether or not Sandy is old enough benefit from a senior’s discount.

Join us as we chat about Sandy’s obsession with her Soda Stream, her gorgeous Apple Streusel Muffins (recipe courtesy of pounddropper.com), and her perfect waffles made with Flourish mix. Truly, Sandy’s breakfast game is on point. We discuss Out of the Shadows by Timea Nagy (co-authored with Shannon Moroney), a book that we’ve both recently finished; it was absolutely mind-blowing. Finally, we share our intentions for the year and have a great conversation about the difference between an intention and a goal. Did you set any intentions for 2021?

Join us as we chat about things we hum and haw over and things we decide in an instant . . . have you ever spent ages deciding whether or not it was worth spending mere pennies but dropped a lump sum without a second thought? We also take a detour down memory lane to reminisce about the Magic Kingdom Rice Krispie Treats (not a euphemism). Then things get a bit more serious as Henny shares what she learned watching Tapped, a documentary about the bottled water industry. What’s your take on one-use plastic?

Happy New Year! Join us as we chat about the pressure that many of us put on ourselves when we’re heading into a new year. We also discuss some of our favourite holiday treats (and you know with both indulged in a few of them over the holidays). Finally, we play a rousing game of This or That! Play along with us! Would your answers be the same as ours?

Join us as we chat about the 3-letter “F” word and how we feel about its use in general vernacular. Henny has been listening to Nicole Byer’s podcast “Why Won’t You Date Me?”, and that gets us talking about our own experiences with dating as individuals who carried extra weight. Finally, we discuss the things we’re most looking forward to about the new year. What does 2021 hold for you? What are you looking forward to trying?

 
Join us as we chat about Henny’s latest obsessions (if you thought she was kind of cool before, just you wait!). We discuss the latest book we’re both reading: Pandora’s Lunchbox by Melanie Warner. It’s a completely interesting read about the science and history of processed food. Have you ever left Kraft Singles in your fridge for 2 years just to see what happens to them? Spoiler Alert: Very little. Do you have any favourite cereals? Spoiler Alert: We sure do! Finally, Sandy discovers JOMO! Sometimes being forced to do things differently isn’t all bad! What have you been happy to miss out on this year? Spoiler Alert: Henny's list is particularly long.
