Gearing Up for the Flat Belly Diet

Now that I'm back after my extended vacation, I am ready to kick off the fall (it's almost here) with a glamorous new me. First things first - I made a hair appointment - a much needed color job to cover my grays - for next Tuesday. I am also going to be starting the Flat Belly diet this weekend, one day later than my August 1 anticipated kickoff, because we are having a party on August 1 and I want to eat my own food. But August 3, a Sunday, my husband, mother, sister, and I, as well as our au pair Adeline, will all be starting the 4 day kickstart to the flat belly diet. The entire diet is 32 days, which is supposed to be long enough to form healthy new habits.
I tend to be an all or nothing person, but this time I am going to try to start small and make it manageable. One of the rules of this plan is that you walk for 5 minutes after each meal, so even if it's just pacing the floor of the kitchen while holding Eva, it's a start. After a few weeks, I am going to start incorporating one exercise class a week and a walk 3 times a week with the girls. I think we'll all enjoy it. I will post my measurements and weight here for everyone to see. Since I tend to be underweight, I am not doing this to lose weight, but to eat healthier and eliminate that last little bit of baby belly. I would also like to have more energy and fewer tummyaches (I have a mild form of IBS). Is their more to this diet than hype? I really think so, and we'll soon find out!
