Summer Frustrations are quickly approaching…

Remember a few weeks ago you made the decision to get in shape for this Summer?  Maybe you made some New Year’s resolutions?  Maybe you committed to a certain date that you wanted to be a certain shape?

How’s that working out for you?

Have you stuck to your plan and lost some weight?

Did you start the diet and give up?

Or are you partially doing the plan and doing the diet “your own way?”

If you’re in the majority and are doing the ITG Diet plan successfully and losing the weight you want, then kudos to you!  You’ll be the one everyone will be asking for your secret.  You’ll be the one with the new wardrobe.  You’ll be the one with that renewed twinkle in your eye and spring in your step.

Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of the summer season! It's been a long, cold winter and we all deserve a lot of warmth and sunshine this year. Throwing a backyard barbecue or cookout yourself means you're in control of the food situation and can have everything you need to stay successful all around you. 

But what if you're going to be visiting someone else's party this weekend?

We're excited for this beautiful Spring weather, and to get back outdoors.... so we're bringing back last year's May initiative at ITG - "Let's Start Walking!" This program is all about taking proactive steps towards better health and wellness through the simple yet impactful activity of walking.

So you’re making the trek to visit family and friends soon? Going on a business trip? Starting to have hunger pangs? It’s a familiar scene in any travel situation: you’re waiting for your connecting flight in an airport near the snack stand, or sitting in a car for hours looking for the next rest stop to grab something, anything, to eat. You’ve been doing very well on your diet over the past couple months, up until now. Traveling makes many of us crave snack foods; it takes us back to driving cross-country for vacation with the parents and siblings, eating an assortment of chips, cookies, candy and soda. The snacks help to pass the time and give us something to do with our hands during a long trip. Whether you’ll be taking a car, plane, bus or a train, there are many temptations to be avoided in order to stay on track with your diet. Keep yourself happy and healthy by following some of these travel tips.

As the chill of winter begins to thaw and the promise of warmer days approaches, many of us find ourselves looking ahead to summer with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The thought of shedding layers of clothing and basking in the sun's warmth can be exhilarating, but for some, it also brings a sense of unease about revealing our bodies after months of hibernation.

Fortunately, spring offers the perfect opportunity to kick-start a journey towards better health and fitness. By harnessing the renewed energy and sense of vitality that comes with the changing season, we can set ourselves up for success in achieving our wellness goals before summer arrives.

Here are some tips to get motivated and inspired to eat healthy and lose weight as we transition into spring:
