Measure your middle
Excess abdominal fat is commonly used as an indicator of less-than-optimal fitness. Today, challenge yourself to get out your measuring tape and take an honest look at your measurements. Then, write them down in a log. This is a great way of having quantitative evidence that your workouts are working, especially on the days when you’re feeling less than motivated.

The saying is 80% is what you eat and 20% is what you do, so what I have decided to do, in addition to working out, I am going to really start watching what I put in my mouth. I have also heard that it is the intense cardio that helps the most with shrinking your waistline.
I have started jogging a little over a mile and a half with my friend at work during part of our lunch break. She is in very good shape and says she will help me work towards a 5K, which is inspiring.

I find that I panic about my mid section everytime we have a social event. I go along nottaking care of myself until I am going to have to go to my husbands office picnic. Then I freak out and brood and work myself to death. I want to start today working on maintenance that I will keep up and be ready when any occasion hits. My midsection is 35.

I just had to buy new “work clothes” (fun) for a conference because all my old nice stuff didn’t fit (not fun). I measured the waist of the pants I want to get back into and found I have about 5 inches to lose…I can do it!...I think.

I’m 34 right around my tummy, 28 higher in my waist area. I’m wanting to get rid of the excess, firm and tone. Day 1 – I’m starting the Slim in 6 exercise program and following the diet advice which is all about fresh, natural foods (several small meals throughout the day), including plenty of whole grains (this is where the Kashi comes in…yes!).
