The Skinny Girl Diet
Goal: Flat stomach by March 2010...cut abs sometime soon . No this is not a New Years Resolution, I do not believe in those, especially since I make myself goals and plans all year round. This is a daily excerpt of my journey to achieve my goal.
Many people have a misconception that skinny is good, that its healthy, and that skinny people do not need to diet. Well here's the truth...some skinny people were once chunky or they appear skinnier then they are. Those who starve themselves, take diet pills/ cleansers/ voodoo potions, are definitely not healthy!!! The purpose of my journey is not to lose weight, but to lose the fat that has taken up occupancy on my stomach and is preventing my abs from flaunting themselves. It is also to gain muscle (I am not afraid of the scale).
P90X
So about a month ago a friend of mine told me about this program. I have been on a mission to find workout DVDs so I could exercise at home (I needed a change of scenery from my gym), and I was very excited when I heard about P90X . After doing some research, I saw that if one does this three month program, he or she will lose fat, gain energy, muscle and feel better there after. A few weeks ago I got my hands on the DVDs, fitness and nutrition guide, dumbbells, a pull up bar and a mat...and began my journey.
From my experience thus far, I can say that the workouts are very difficult, but they are not unmanageable (and I would not call myself extremely strong or physically fit). I am mainly doing this program to gain some muscle and for my health, however I can see how it targets everything that it advertises. In order to get the full three month results one must be very strict with themselves and this routine. The way that P90X works is:
