Summary
I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back!
Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen all of a sudden.
Oh, and some incredible beauty finds:

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show in the episode that we shall refer to henceforth as the one where Emma is standing up. |
| 0:17.5 | Why am I standing up? This is only relevant if you're watching on YouTube or if you're |
| 0:20.9 | watching the video on Substack. But it is 32 degrees here. We are in the middle of a heat wave. I normally |
| 0:27.1 | sit on my lovely office chair, which is made of leather, not happening today. I am also wearing what is |
| 0:33.1 | essentially a nighty, because it's quite a nice nighty, Massimo duty, 90, thank you very, thank you very much. |
| 0:40.7 | But if I sit in it, this lovely crisp white cotton is going to, well, I'd say go see through, |
| 0:46.6 | but I'm worried it might actually disintegrate such as the heat that is emanating from me today. |
| 0:52.1 | It is a very, very hot day. |
| 0:53.8 | You may be able to hear the were of the fan |
| 0:55.9 | as well, but without it, I would simply expire. Anyway, what are we going to talk about this week? |
| 1:02.4 | Let's talk about, we are sort of, you may have noticed that with the weight loss slash challenge, |
| 1:10.4 | slash effort, slash whatever, as I said to you |
| 1:14.3 | last week, I kind of did something silly because I joined a gym a couple of weeks ago. And the truth |
| 1:24.2 | of the matter is I feel completely different. When pre-joining the gym, I could feel that I was getting smaller. I could feel that I was getting leaner. I enjoyed how that felt. It felt like all of the, it felt like the cumulative effect of all of that effort of prioritizing protein, of really |
| 1:45.3 | cutting down on fat, of being really mindful of my carbohydrate intake, of being mindful of my fiber |
| 1:50.2 | intake. It felt like suddenly I got to this point where, oh, actually, I feel a little bit |
| 1:54.4 | smaller. I can see that my legs are changing. I can feel all of these things. And it felt |
| 1:59.4 | appropriate because we were nearly three months into it. So it was like, good, good. I want to all of these things. And it felt appropriate because we were nearly three |
| 2:01.2 | months into it. So it was like, good, good. I want to be able to see and feel that it wasn't just about |
| 2:06.3 | scale weight. When I joined the gym, something happened and it's sort of, it's wrong-footed me a little bit, |
| 2:14.1 | but at the same time it hasn't because common sense prevails, but at the same |
| 2:17.9 | time there's also a huge emotional aspect to this. And it's also a little bit of a learning curve |
