: Episode 536 – Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Anna Vocino talk about avoiding NSNG derailment, advertising, Christopher Columbus, and speak with long-time listener Jess Perreca on this Monday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.
“Avoiding NSNG Derailment”
ADVERTISING
- We only advertise what we believe in
- We could be much richer if we advertised everything, but we won’t
- This is an expensive show to run, but we keep it real
INDIA
- Christopher Columbus started calling First Nations (Native Americans) Indians because he thought he had arrived in India in the 1400s
- Serena didn’t believe Vinnie when he told her this because Vinnie is good at coming up with stories quickly
- Also, while Vinnie was in India, he told a fake story about barely making it out of Vietnam
- Jimi Hendrix was actually a paratrooper
JESS PERRECA
- Has been overweight since the age of 6 — he is now 36
- He has been on several times, has been supporting Vinnie and the show forever!
- He was doing weight watchers when he joined
- He is a favorite around here
- Check out his old podcasts
- Right now, Jess is about the heaviest he’s ever been
- Well over 500 lbs
- He has tried everything to lose weight but is derailed
- He wants to make life the reason he SHOULD lose weight, but instead uses life as an excuse to eat what he wants
- The greatest he ever felt, however, was when he started NSNG
- lost 75lbs in one month
- went about 6 mos and lost a bunch of weight
- He didn’t know how to handle keeping the weight off/handling his success
- went about 6 mos and lost a bunch of weight
- lost 75lbs in one month
- Once work got more stressful, he didn’t keep up packing his meals, etc.
- Instead he ordered food, went to restaurants, etc.
- Once he got laid off, it made it even harder to get back on track
- Instead he ordered food, went to restaurants, etc.
AVAOIDING NSNG DERAILMENT
- It is easy to get derailed when you are dealing with life
- Can be grief, can be a few holiday meals, can be lots of work that gets you off of NSNG and makes it hard to get back on
- If you do go off course, just get back on the next meal you’re able to!
- It is hard to approach the emotional side of it
- NSNG can make you feel better, too
- It’s okay to go off for awhile to deal with your feelings, but eventually your body will want to go back to NSNG
- Try to get back on as soon as possible — once you dive back in, you CAN succeed!
