Bonus question: is yogurt a solid or liquid? Let us know in the comments. Enjoy!

Caution! This under 30-minute episode sounds crackly. It's my microphone. So sorry. Just pretend you're sitting near a fire and listening to me speak.

The Lovely Michelle is back and funnier than ever! This episode will be a different kind of recap episode.

Anthony is back and better than ever! This episode, as always, is more of a chat than an interview. I have a conversation with a favorite of this show, our friend Anthony who lives in upstate New York.

I finally did it! I finished and got a medal for the Pasadena Sprint Triathlon. I'm so proud of myself. Listen to what it took to accomplish this not so easy feat. 5K run, 15K bike, 150m swim! And still went for Persian food afterwards. Thanks for all the support and the love. I couldn't do this without all of you. Seriously though ... so PROUD of ME!

This episode will be different from any other episode. This time I will be interviewing a listener named Anna who lives in Germany about her experience and her journey through.

This episode is all about those non-scale victories. Positive things that I have experienced, that have nothing to do with the scale, or my numerical weight. Things like hiking, looking at things differently, being more health-minded, and so on. I hope you enjoy!
