Episode 06 - Farewell to the Noughties

Today Carla and Shauna look back at their healthy livin' highlights of 2009 and of the entire decade!

Shauna babbles on about this decade being called "The Noughties" and Carla is baffled. Then after recording the episode, Shauna does some research and discovers this phrase never took off in the USA, because, according to Generation X author Douglas Coupland, Americans never use the word nought for zero, so it would make no bloody sense at all!

We also answer a great variety of your questions:

What diet rules to you ignore?
How do I work this weirdo weight training machine?
What do you think of maintenance phases during weight loss?
How did Carla and Shauna meet?

Festive Wisdom from Jen

One of our favourite bloggers is Jen of Perfect In Our Imperfections. Today she posted some cracking holiday advice. She would have been perfect for our Help For The Holidays episode!

And if you're doing too much: STOP. Maybe you don't need to send a holiday card to anyone who ever said hello to us and bake 4,000 cookies of 5 different kinds to give to everyone (who probably is on a diet too and really doesn't want the extra temptation). No one will hate you if, instead of poring through dozens of stores and catalogs and websites to get the exact perfect gifts, you get everyone gift certificates for iTunes or Starbucks or spa treatments or Amazon.com. Here's a big anti-stress secret: People who love you do not want you to put yourself through the wringer or into excessive debt to please them.

Problems listening to 2FC Episode 5? Try this link...

A huge thanks to Jen and Gretchen for letting us know they've had problems accessing Episode 5 of the podcast. The issue seems to be with Podbean, our podcast host, whose servers are down a helluva lot more often than I'd prefer for a bloody paid hosting account. I will look into a new host for 2010, methinks.

(Anyone out there know of a reliable podcast host or had experience using Typepad for podcasting?)

If you're having problems with the podcast, please give us a shout and let us know how you were trying to listen (iTunes, browser, RSS feed, etc) and we'll help. We're both very new to this podcast medium so your feedback will help us to make things better!

I've uploaded the file to this blog so you can click here to download the MP3 (33MB) or use the wee player below. Our apologies for the convenience.
