Still Plateau Busting

My Virgin Diet Food Journal  

Cycle 1

Day 69

 

Dear Diary,

 

The Virgin Diet is a phenomenal diet and has allowed me to enjoy some of the best meal that I have ever had. The smoothies are totally awesome, tasty and satiety. I love, love it!  My Virgin Diet journey is by far so fabulous that I'm recommending to all my friends.  I never knew losing weight could be as easy as this. I've experienced eating and dining at its finest.... but, I  know that best is yet to come.

Trucking along in Cycle 1, and feeling fabulous and all that good stuff, but, but..... The Plateau Busting continues. Yep! I 'm still trying to reach my target weight loss goal of 30 lbs. This scale of mine is not budging and is so far showing me a 25 lbs. weight loss. This is ridiculous!  I am ready for Cycle 2, but I want to reach my target weight first. Then, I will reintroduce the forbidden foods back into my diet. I'm so close.

 So, what am I going to do about this plateau thingy, because I am stuck in weight loss limbo.  Here's the plan...Okay, for the past two days, I've doubled-up my smoothies and had a smoothie twice a day. Today, I opted out the second smoothie and had dinner instead(I just wanted dinner tonight, the incredible smells and the appealing look, the aromas.... so enticing, I could hardly resist). Anyway, its okay because, I had some good grass fed BBQ flavored chicken, brown rice and Brussels sprouts. Mmmm! Good! Wow, I 'm glad that I started food journaling. Here's my story.

Keeping a food journal helps a lot, especially with the water consumption. I am suppose to have half my body weight in ounces of water, and writing it down in my journal really helps me monitors that.  It also helps minimize over-snacking too.
So Diary, I hope journaling not only helps me bust the plateau , but also make me more aware of my eating habits as well.
That's it for now.
