Medifast Blitz
Even though I've reached my original goal in my weight loss journey, I thought I'd give the Medifast weight loss phase another try and do what is called a Medifast Blitz. The Medifast Blitz is simply following the 5&1 program to kick start your body into the fat burning state after you have reached your goal.
October 9, 2006 will be one year since I started the Medifast program, so I thought I'd see whether losing another 6 pounds would help with that little abdominal pouch that's been annoying me. I'd like to see it go away before October 9th this year. I have no doubt that I'll be able to lose the 6 pounds but whether the weight will come off in that specific area is another story. We'll just have to wait and see, and I'll take side view before/during/after photos so you can see my progress.
So I'm re-starting the 5&1 program today ... here we go! When I lose the additional 6 pounds, I'll be down a total of 95 pounds. Yeah! And I'm hoping that it will be a weight I can easily maintain and that the annoying ab fat will be gone completely. Of course I'll be doing some isometric ab exercises too. Isometic ab exercises were recommended by Take Shape For Life Nurse Support, because I have a herniated disk, and I don't want to do any exercise that will cause back problems for me. I'll let you know how it goes!
