Flat Belly Diet

Day 1: I didn't follow the 1200-calorie diet, but I did the abdominal exercises. I was feeling some soreness in my middle by bedtime, so that's a good sign.

Day 2: Yes, my abs are sore, but not in a I-did-too-many-crunches sort of way. Good. I'm going with the diet and went to baby boot camp for 55 minutes of cardio & strength training.

Week of August 29

No change in measurements and my weight just seems to fluctuate between 154 and 156 lbs. This is fine for my height/age, but I want the inches to go down. I'll try interval training this week, along with Prevention's Flat Belly Ab Exercises. It's hard to exercise with 3 kids in tow, though!

There is a 1200 calorie diet that goes along with the exercise plan, but the seems pretty extreme. My regular caloric intake should be just above 2400, and about 1900 if I want to lose any weight.
