Abs Diet–Week 2


I’ve completed the second week on the Abs Diet. To date, I’ve lost 2 pounds. Still 8 pounds away from my goal, but don’t want to get fixated on a number. If I can fit back into those black pants, I’ll be more than satisfied. I do feel skinnier, which is great. The diet has been going well. I like continually fueling the fire. The meals have been satisfying and tasty. If there’s one thing I really have to say that I like especially about the diet is that it’s cheap to eat. The meals are quick and easy to prepare.

I can see that I’m making progress through the workouts. The three workouts are good for my schedule. I actually look forward to them. I’m at the point where I can add weight to a few of the exercises. Since I do the workouts both at home and at the gym, I’m finding the transition easy with the suggested at-home variations. Overall, I’m quite pleased.

My goals for the next week are to keep up with the diet. I’m doing well probably 80-90% of the time. I’ll kick up my workouts a notch. I’m still doing 2 circuits, but in the weeks ahead, I’ll move to 3 sets.

A New Approach With the Abs Diet


I started the The Abs Diet for Women: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Belly and Firm Up Your Body for Life A New Approach With the Abs Diet this past weekend. I’ve been struggling, trying to come up with a new exercise approach. I wanted something more, but wasn’t sure just what that was. The book offers sound advice about nutrition and strength training to help you reach your goal. With a “promise” of losing 20 pounds of fat and gaining 3 pounds of muscle, it’s hard not to take up the challenge.

I did my first workout from the book, strength with a leg emphasis. First, the workouts, except for one dedicated abs workout, are total body workouts. That’s a new approach for me. I would do upper body one day and lower body the next. Zinczenko’s idea is that this will keep you moving and keep your heart rate up. The next day, I feel sore. I realized that I have been ignoring my legs, thinking that walking was enough. For me, that tells me I have room to improve and will get off of this plateau. I’m excited.
