Episode 2664 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss dining while on vacation, avoiding a slippery slope, and running with weighted vests. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/avoiding-a-slippery-slope-episode-2664 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Avoiding A Slippery Slope After a lesson in poetry and haiku, the topic of Summer vacation begins. (2:00) People want to indulge on their summer vacations, mostly at theme parks and on cruise ships. Vinnie had a lavish experience on a cruise once, but there was barely a gym! (11:00) He made do with what he had to work with. He also gets seriously seasick. The only thing to do on the cruise was gamble or overeat, neither of which he was interested in. Lately, many of Vinnie’s consults have been centered around what a person, or family, eats on a cruise or at theme parks. (17:00) Make up your mind before you leave on how you are going to handle the event. (18:30) It’s the key to avoiding a slippery slope! Anna gives a rundown of how you can approach the mindset. (20:00) Ask yourself beforehand about the emotional reasons, mindsets, and triggers you may have. Enjoy yourself, but be reasonable and plan. Anna reads a question from listener Bob Z. (35:00) Bob has a question about running with a weighted vest. It is not recommended to run with weighted vests. The long-term effect on hips and knees is not good. Rucking while walking is just fine, and it’s best to have the waist strap that goes with it. Vinnie’s new challenge for himself has been building a model train setup. (48:00) Anna’s cheese bites are coming out, and Anna and Vinnie share ideas for some NSNG snacks. (55:00) More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!
