ITG Diet Blog

  Last thing my ITG wellness coach, Maria, said to me on Friday at 5:00 pm day #5 of my ITG Diet was, “the best advice I can give you for your first weekend is to stay busy.”  She told me how it could be a few tough days ahead.  My routine was about to change.  I got used to getting up and coming in to the office.  Surrounded by supportive people and approved food choices.  How could I fail in the perfect ITG Diet setting?  Home all weekend doing house work and laundry…How could I not fail?   See I started on a Monday and was at work most of the day for days #1-5 but days #6 and #7 will be my toughest days… home alone with Me! (yikes) … “Stay busy, Tina!”

Let’s face it we all know ourselves better than anyone else.  I know my #1 excuse for cheating will be time.  I can almost hear myself now…”I got home from work too late to cook my chicken breast, I’ll hit the nearest drive thru.” Or here’s a good one…”I’m so hungry, I’ll be sick if I don’t eat something right away.”  As much as I am my biggest enemy, I am also my biggest fan.  If anyone can outwit me it’s me.

     I am so excited about starting the ITG Diet!  It’s all I talk about...I hope there are some dieters out there who share my passion and want to join my diet buddy team.  I have already gotten one of my dear friends to join me on my journey. The more the merrier! We can all help support each other and share ideas and motivate each other to stay on track! I am already starting to get my daily intake of water, 64 ounces. That’s only four 16.9 fluid ounce water bottles a day.  Come on ladies, guys too, let’s get motivated!  Start date January 6^th will be here before we know it.

Here it is January again, time for a New Year’s Resolution, again.  Weight Loss it is, again.  This year is going to be different, 2014 is going to be the year I lose weight and keep it off!  I am going to start the ITG Diet Weight Loss Plan the first Monday of the New Year, January 6^th.

 After losing 34 pounds in 2010 I told myself, “You may never be smaller than this but you will never be larger!”  Three years later and 16 of the 34 pounds I lost have found its way back, just like a lost dog. Lol   I am so determined to be fully committed to the ITG Diet that I decided the best way to hold myself accountable is to use the buddy system.

Yes, this was me I may be smiling in that before picture but I am not happy. Overweight, uncomfortable and not feeling good about myself at all. I guess I had to get to the point where I was disgusted completely, disgusted in order to do something about it. I woke up one day and said THAT’S IT!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! What am I going to keep packing on the pounds and getting more unhealthy? I promised myself from that day forward I would only do good for myself and my body and I was going to lose weight and bring sexy back!!!!
