When you fall off a horse, you have to get back in the saddle.
I had big plans for my "vacation" eating schedule, see I planned to go off ITG Diet while I was in San Antonio for my sons Graduation from Basic Military Training United States Air Force. The excuse I gave was that he had been deprived off all of his favorite foods for the past 8 1/2 weeks (just like me) and I wanted to make sure I got him all his favorites while I was in town, and I decided I would join him. I came up with this plan months ago, that's what helped me make it through the last 6 weeks on ITG Diet. I went off of program for 2 weeks, I was only in San Antonio for 5 days but I planned in some time off program while at home. Plus who can start a diet on a Wednesday, I needed a weekend off of program at home with my friends. You know what that meant time for some Wine & Spirits. Oh how I enjoyed eating drinking and being merry! Until my belly started to hurt because I ate too much, and a hangover comes with fewer drinks than it did before. My body has changed but my mind had no problem going back to BDT, before diet Tina. This is what I went off program for? This is what I say I miss? I'm sluggish, no energy or motivation what so ever. I think its official...I fell off the horse.
My goal weight was 150 lbs for my son’s graduation from Basic Military Training, United States Air Force, April 4, 2014, an 8 1/2 week program that I think every young American should attend but that's another story. My starting weight was 180.8 on January 6, 2014. That’s a goal of 30.8 pounds in 13 weeks. I didn't reach my goal but I did get very close. My weight April 3, 2014 was 152.4 pounds, total loss 28.4 pounds, 2.4 pounds off from my first goal weight. Did I fail? Not at all, I proved to myself and you, that ITG Diet works and I can succeed at it. And if I can succeed on this diet, anyone can succeed on it, including you. Go ahead give it a try.
This week’s loss 2 pounds…. I know as a wellness coach that the average woman loses 2-3 pounds a week on ITG Diet, a 2 pound loss is a good week. But, (everyone’s got one) the dieter in me still seems to get a bit discouraged with the same 2 pound weekly loss. My Wellness Coach, Maria, could tell I wasn’t as pleased with my weekly 2 pound loss, that’s when she suggested we update my measurements. 
I received my first letter from my son at Basic Military Training, he said he is going to try his best to make Honor Graduate to make me proud of him. I replied to him (by mail) that I was going to try to reach my goal weight prior to graduation to make him proud of me. If this doesn’t motivate me to lose this last 10 pounds nothing will. Graduation is April 4, exactly 4 weeks from today.
