The Abs Diet

So I'm going to start the Abs Diet.

It's a 6 week program that involves regulating what you eat and has specific exercises to do. Supposedly I will see my abs by the end of this. Hubby and I are both going to do it and got the book this weekend. The website looks very commercial-y but the book is a very good read. The author makes some great points that really make you re-evaluate what you've been eating and how you've been exercising.

There are certain foods that you can eat - and not much is limited. You can have bread, just whole weat. He focuses a lot on smoothies. I have to go buy some ingredients, like whey powder and flaxseed. There's also a lot of emphasis on berries and nuts. And we practiced some of the exercises at the gym and wow do you feel them. He's not big on reps so you're not in pain afterwards, either. You're supposed to eat 6 meals a day instead of 3 and there's one cheat meal per week. I think the program makes a lot of sense and hopefully it'll work!

I'm going to CA for a week so I won't officially start until I get back but I'm going to start getting into it before then.

If I can get my abs to look like the women in these pictures by summer, I am going to start dressing like a hooch. I have already warned my husband. Haha.
