Plateau Frenzy

Plateau

 It's Baack!

Cycle 1

Day 64

 

Dear Diary,

 

This is incredible!

I've got 5 more pounds to lose before reaching my 30 lbs. weight loss goal and guess what happens?  My weight loss progress has again come to a screeching halt, I'm stuck. Absolutely stuck, no weight loss in the last week, none, nada... I wish I could just say that it's my scales and that are stuck, however,  it is not my scales at all.... It- is- the.... dun, dun dunnnn,  the proverbial plateau. I've hit a plateau again and have had no sign of weight loss within the past week. Even my waistline measurements are at a stand still. Nothing, and nothings happening. 

I am following the Virgin Diet to the tee and now a plateau, a plateau. Really!

Again? Its interesting to note that the first five letters of plateau spells plate. Hmmmm, suspect?  I'm just saying....

Anyway,  I've just got to find a way to rid myself of the plateau frenzy and get on with losing those 5 pounds. I got to remove that obstacle- the 5 pound boulder.
 

 

So, here is what I'm going to do:

1. Get to bed early- strive for 7-9 hours of sleep per night
2. Drink more water- I need to drink ½ my body weight in ounces. That is not as easy as it sounds. I'll try.
3. Stay active- continue walks, gardening, and yoga

According to JJ Virgin, studies have proven that getting too little sleep can attribute to weight gain. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep every night to optimize hunger hormones and boost fat-burning human growth hormones.

She also suggest that when I am not eating to drink water.

These are some great suggestions on way to rid a plateau.
