The student became the inspiration…
I recently fell off the wagon because of various social engagements so I wasn’t following Step 3 like I should have been. I realized that I had put on 12lbs! I saw my fellow wellness coach Tina Sly losing weight steadily every week and looking fabulous. I thought to myself what I am doing? “Besides the fact that summer is right around the corner and I want to still look good in my pink and white striped bathing suit. I need an ITG Diet Tune Up before this gets out of control. So that’s exactly what I did 3 weeks ago. I started back on Step One so I could reel it in and cut the carbs and start losing these extra LBS!”
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.
