I’m sorry you haven’t heard from me in a few weeks, and I wanted to let you know why.

My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer shortly after I recorded episode 313. The diagnosis came as an utter shock, given my husband has always led a healthy lifestyle and had no known risk factors (we now know the cancer was caused by the HPV virus). My world has since been turned upside down, and the path I thought I was on has evaporated before me.

I have recorded a special podcast episode to explain how I’m feeling and to share some of the gifts I have already found from this diagnosis.

Continuing our series on how to slim down while traveling, we learn specific ways to renew on your next trip. Why bother, especially if you’re only gone a few days?

For one, if you run yourself down, you’re more likely to catch any bug that’s going around, and two, you’re more apt to catch a few extra pounds while you’re at it!

Plus, renewing on the road can help you get the most out of your trip, whether it’s meeting business goals, enjoying vacation fun, or managing family dynamics.

Enjoy this week’s show!

Traveling typically involves eating in lots of restaurants where we have little control over what’s available. Plus, portion sizes are likely to be much larger than you can eat, especially if you are in the US where we love our over-size portions.

On this week’s episode of Inside Out Weight Loss, learn some simple strategies that can help you stay healthy while eating out and leave the restaurant feeling great. Here are 3 of my favorites:

· Hold the fries – ask the server to substitute a heavy side dish like fries with veggies.

· Hold the cheese – opt out of heavy extras like cheese and sauce.

· Set a check point – as soon as your food arrives, set aside the amount that you think will be just enough to satisfy you. When you finish that amount, check in with your body to see if you’ve had enough. You can always eat a bit more if you’re still hungry.

Does your exercise routine go out the window when you travel? Sadly, many trips can end up being a double whammy of bad eating and no exercise.

On this week’s episode of Inside Out Weight Loss, learn how to fit it in, even in the most unlikely of settings, even when your schedule is packed. Renée shares some of the wackiest things she’s done to fit in exercise and how a little planning goes a long way.

Plus, making sure you move when you travel has extra benefits – exercise helps with jet lag and increases focus and concentration at business meetings.

Ever wonder how some folks seem to have a lifetime commitment to being slim and healthy? How do they keep it going when for the rest of us it’s so easy to fall off the wagon?

If you listened to the early episodes of this podcast, you’ll remember the incredibly compelling, away-from motivation. This is something so unsavory, that it makes you want to move far and fast away from it. For example, the too-tight fat pants are a powerful away-from motivation which often lead people running to the latest austerity diet plan.

This week, you’ll find your own long-term away from motivation to keep you going all the way to slim and beyond.

It sounds so silly: being afraid of being too slim and fabulous because then people will be jealous. Co-workers will envy you. You’ll be too powerful. People won’t know how to relate to you.

No, I’m not talking about ego-maniacs who think they walk on water. I’m talking about normal people with a real fear that prevents them from losing weight. In fact, anyone who has felt jealous of skinny girls (especially rich, smart, beautiful ones) is a prime candidate for it.

In this week’s episode, learn how to spot the fear and how you can release it to make losing weight a whole lot easier.
