| Flat Belly Workout DVD |
In my 21-Day
Belly post, I gave the results of phase one of my battles to reduce the size
of my belly bulge. I could see the
weight loss in my face as it went from square back to oval. And feel the weight relief in my knees even
though I had not completely reached my weight loss goal. I could also see the few inches disappear
around my waist as what was a rectangular frame when looking in the mirror, was
now appeared more like an hourglass figure.
Plus my fat pants are now too big and I can wear some of the regular
sizes in my closet. However, I could
still see too much of a belly bulge when I turned sideways or looked down. And
I’m still larger around the middle than the recommendation for my frame. What
to do now?
Phase 2 GOAL = lose 10 pounds plus 3 not lost in phase
1 for total of 13 more pounds
Week 4 = Lost 2 pounds and 0 inches around waist
Week 5 = Lost 3 pounds plus 1 inch around waist
*Week 6 = Lost 0 pounds plus gained 1/2 inch around waist (@Christmas)
*Week 7 = Lost 3 pounds plus lost 1/2 inch around waist
*Week 8 = Lost 0 pounds plus and 1/2 inch around waist
*Week 9 = Lost 0 pounds and 0 inches around waist
Week 10 = Lost 1 pound plus lost 1/2 inch around waist
Week 11 = Lost 1 pound plus lost gained 1/2 inch around waist
Week 12 = Lost 3 pounds plus lost 1/2 inch around waist
*NOTE: Just before week 6, I got sore throat and bad cough which
resulted in sore ribs so I could not do any exercises nor did I eat much. I had an adverse reaction to the antibiotics! So
Doc put me on white starch diet for most of week 7 and then a different med
week 8. New meds gave me major headaches
and some dizziness! Finally felt better
about midway of week 9.
I realize that the actual belly trimming was most likely due
to the exercising along with walking,
as just weight loss could result in some floppy flabbiness below the waistline. So I dug out a Flat Abs DVD that promised
results in 10 minutes a day to add to what I was doing from the diet book in
previous weeks. To my surprise the 10-minute
section of my video only had one new exercise that was not already in the
routine I was doing from the diet
book and the Back
Owner’s Manual that my back surgeon gave me. Also, the DVD only had me do 8 repetitions of
each exercise. The diet book suggested
starting at 10 reps and working up to 20 reps on its exercises. There is also a longer routine on the DVD,
which I might try as phase three, if the 10 minutes DVD plus the 10-15 minutes
I am already doing with the two books does not continue to show better belly
results.
The DVD I have is no longer available, since I go it a few
years ago at a movie rental store going out of business sale. Below are two flat belly DVDs with 10-minute
options from Amazon.
I also bought the store version of SlimFast
pre-made shakes in cans to replace making
smoothies when I am in a morning rush (or the thought of a smoothie during
my illness made me fell more sick) and do not want to wait. There are many other diet options out
there. I know people who are having
weight loss and feel good success with Ketogenic (aka ketonic &
ketosis) and HerbaLife. For the best results that you can maintain,
consider a program that teaches you to eat healthier rather than just giving
you special food for a certain amount of time.
Always consult a doctor before starting a diet or exercise program!
