Let me do a little explaining about myself and then my problem and what I think I should do to fix it…I am open to suggestions if you think that I should do anything different to get better results maybe. It would mean so much to me. Thanks in advance.
Ok, I am 25 I weight about 119 I am 5’6” and I have a 3 year old daughter. My problem is not my overall body though I would really like to tone it up. My thighs are a little flabby but I know I have seen them change through the last year slowly but surely as I have worked out. My real problem is this pouch in my mid stomach particularly around my belly button. It looks like a gross orange because of all of the stretch marks that I have and it is really flabby and it sticks out.
In the last month I have really cleaned up my diet. I mean taking out all of my sugar foods (I still have like a cup of kool-aid here or there, and maybe a small candy bar on a cheat day, but I have my cheats in small portions). I have upped my protein intake through chicken, fish, egg whites…etc. I eat oatmeal, salads you know things like that…basically, well here is what my meal plan for this week looks like.. (I got this out of an oxygen magazine) I like to eat the same thing all week long and change it up for the next week.
Meal 1: 5 egg whites, ½ cup grits, multivitamin
Meal 2: 4 oz chicken, ½ cup brown rice, small salad
Meal 3: 2 scoops protein with water
Meal 4: 5 oz baked potato and 3 oz tuna
Meal 5: 5 oz baked white fish and 10 asparagus
Meal 6: Handful of walnuts
I have decided to up my workouts to look like something like this:
Monday: Push/Pull, Abs, 2 Mile Run
Tuesday: 2 Mile Run, Abs, Stretch Max I
Wednesday: Circuit Max, Stretch Max I
Thursday: 3 Mile Run, Abs, Stretch Max I
Friday: Step Blast, Push/Pull, Abs, Stretch Max I
Saturday: Step Blast, Stretch Max I
Sunday: Stretch Max I
I am not sure if this is even something like what I should be doing for what my goal is… I want an overall toned body but I want a kick-butt mid section! My husband comes home in 3 months and I want to look amazing for him so any advice I could get would be so appreciated. Thank you so much everyone!
