Staying in Shape on Vacation: Actual Tactics to Enjoy Your Trip Without Setting Yourself Back

It's easy to go down the thought process of "Vacation is coming up. I only have two choices: 1. Enjoy myself & eat / drink whatever I want, or 2. Be disciplined & stay in shape, but not have any fun."
In this episode, I talk a bit about how reframing the way we think about vacations can be useful (and make vacations more enjoyable). I also give direct tactics that you can apply to make staying in shape on vacation much easier.
There is a whole segment on alcohol & how to still enjoy your trip without setting yourself way back (hint: 15 Mai Tais is probably a bad idea).
Vacations should be a net positive when it's all said and done, and if we can find a way to go, relax, and come back recharged without feeling like we set ourselves back on progress, that's the way to go.
Enjoy!

Losing 160 Pounds, Keeping Momentum, and "75 Hard" with Bishoi Khella
Today's guest is Bishoi Khella.
Bishoi amassed quite the following on TikTok after his incredible 160 pound weight loss journey went viral.
In 2021, he was north of 350 pounds. Today, he sits at 180 pounds (absolutely jacked) at 10.7% body fat.
Bishoi and I chatted about his journey, what prompted this massive transformation, and what allowed this change to be different (what made it last).
We also talked about how he sustains momentum despite life changes and distractions like vacation or busy work seasons, the exact plan he followed to lose 160 pounds, his business, and much more.
All in, I thoroughly enjoyed this chat and it was fascinating to get to speak to someone who's made such extraordinary changes - and more importantly, sustained them.

Why You Aren't Losing Fat
If the below quote resonates with you, this episode is for you.
"I've tried keto, I've tried vegan, I've tried tracking my calories, I've tried everything. I've made some progress in the past, but I end up rebounding at some point and I'm further away from my goal than when I started. I'm not confident that I can stick with any sort of routine because even when I do, I feel like I don't get where I want to go."
Discussion points include:
- Why the scale may not be changing despite you doing things right
- How to recognize water weight fluctuations (and make sure they don't discourage you)
- The three reasons why most people aren't losing fat
- A step by step process to get you moving in the right direction within 2 weeks
