ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OF THE EPISODE:

Hello, Health Investor!

Welcome to another episode of The Health Investment Podcast!

You may have noticed that this episode is quite short. That’s because it’s another "bite-sized" one!

In addition to interviewing experts, I also do solo bite-sized episodes where I share brief—and hopefully helpful!—tips relating to nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, and mindset.

If you wanna listen to the five previous bite-sized episodes, I’ll put links to those in the show notes!

Today, I’m gonna share 8 tips for losing weight—or maintaining your current weight!—while on vacation...and while still having fun!!

If you’re like most of my clients, a week or long weekend away can throw you completely out of whack when it comes to healthy habits. 

After that first day of nachos, cocktails, and ice cream by the pool, it can be easy to feel like you’ve already "ruined" any progress you’ve made and just spiral out of control for the rest of your time away.

If it feels like I’m reading your mind, it’s not because I’m clairvoyant—it’s because I’ve been there myself!

I used to go into vacation with a black and white mentality, thinking I needed to be ALL IN on a restrictive diet or ALL OUT, eating/drinking/doing whatever I wanted.

Every week or weekend away, I’d end up gaining weight and just feeling overall bloated and gross when it ended.

Still sound familiar?

If so, you’re in the right place!

If you’re in a safe place—aka NOT driving or operating heavy machinery—grab a pen and some paper to jot down some notes cause the tips I’m about to share are gonna help you look & feel your BEST on vacation—and beyond!

Let’s get right to ‘em to keep this episode quick ‘n bite-sized!!

TIP #1: Get crystal clear on WHY you want to lose weight in the first place.

This first tip may seem weird and NOT like one you were expecting, but stay with me…

In order to *stick* with the healthy habits that help you lose weight, keep it off, and feel your BEST,
