So while I didn’t get washboard abs, overall, I was really surprised by how much progress I made in just 30 days. When I started, I thought for sure there wouldn’t be much change. And to be sure there would not have been much change if I wouldn’t have stuck to a strict diet. This was the most amount of weight I have lost in this short of a time period and obviously that made the biggest difference. When gettings abs, I think it’s about 90% diet 10% exercise. In time though, I think I will get there.
My Diet
If you are wondering about my diet, for the first week, I started this challenge while also doing the egg challenge video ( ), which was where I ate a dozen eggs a day for a week.
After that though I decided that for breakfast I would eat just plain oats, with bananas or strawberries mixed in along with some walnuts. I would also have a glass of 100% grape or orange juice.
For lunch, I found that I really liked eating these high fiber tortillas, and putting jalapeno tuna in them was my favorite.
For dinner I would either do some sort of chicken breast with vegetables or occasionally I would do a salad bowl with chicken from Chipotle.
I have completely cut all soda out of my diet, which has been huge. I also drink about 96 ounces of water every day.
Overall during this period I kept my calories around 1600 a day.
I also did a fast for about 36 hours on the final days to try and maximize my fat loss.
The Situps
This was actually my second attempt at this challenge. The first time I attempted it I made it to day 8, but was so sore I could not continue. This time around I had already been doing sit ups every few days as part of my full body dumbbell routine, so soreness really never became an issue this time around.
Once I started traditional doing sit ups everyday though, they really start to get pretty easy. Looking back, I think I got the greatest ab workout by doing crunches with my legs elevated, and if you were going to attempt this challenge, that’s what I would recommend you start with. It’s also good to mix it up and add some variation to your routine. I also did crunches, star planks, side planks.
Also I did kept doing my dumbbell workout while doing these this challenge, if you haven’t seen that video and what that program looks like, here is the link -
For those curious what scale I use here is the link to it -
