Well according to the Abs Diet for Women … its “The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach” – Abs of Steel, right? I have 5 weeks left on my Body for Life Plan and now I am getting down right serious about incorporating these recommended Abs exercises two-three times a week.

Check out Feats of Strength with Kristen: http://www.followingfit.com/archives/4972
Where a few of us attempted and some succeeded at Pistol Squats.

Here are the ab exercises I will be incorporating into my routine:

1. Weighted Crunches for Upper Abs
   
    
2. Flutter Kicks for Lower Abs
   
    
3. Planks or Side Planks for Transversal Abs
    
   
    
4. Oblique V-ups for Obliques
    
   
    
5. Bananas & Supermans for Lower Back
    
   

Dinner

Mac and I took the kid’s to Dave & Buster’s for dinner & arcade games last night to ward of weekend boredom. Everyone else had the same idea, due to it being a 3-day weekend, as the place was packed! But we kicked people off their table and found a place to sit and dine. I am highly jealous they all have Monday off and I have to go to work.
 

I opted for the steak salad with frazzled onions and dressing on the side. And a beer as a Free Day Splurge. Mac had bar burgers with the kids. They are clearly not on the same nutrition plan as I am.

Breakfast

First it started by making the perfect cup of Starbuck’s coffee in the french press. Three minute steep = bliss.

Then a light pre-breakfast of wheat sourdough toast lightly slathered with PB and a side of Chobani Blood Orange Greek Yogurt (YUM!). Then its off to work for me as the rest of the house still lays to sleep.
