have a flat stomach

I was doing great there for a while, I was almost completely flat on my stomach! I was ridiculously pleased, and actually wore a bikini to the beach a few times. Suddenly I stopped eating so well… and it all went down the drain. Poop. Maybe I was just feeling bloated yesterday, but I couldn’t get my stomach flat… not even if I sucked in! Today I am going to do 50 crunches in the morning, 50 in the evening… I WILL TONE UP!!! I am going to Delaware with my friend’s family and her hot older brother must see me looking FAB!

I have lost some weight, and I am noticing an improvement in my stomach. It seems flatter to me, but I still feel like I have to suck in, though not as much. I want to be at the point where I am completely comfortable with my body. It doesn’t matter if I am stick thin, but I just want to feel like I can be in my bathing suit without being self conscious. That would be the biggest reward for all of the work I am doing.

Last night I did 100 nose to knee crunches with a towel under my back (couldn’t find the yoga mat, hehe), and was looking forward to the usual tightness in the stomach after you do crunches, but unfortunately, I drank a lot of water before hand, so my stomach was all bloated :-(.
I can see a slight difference now though I think. Not much however.

Sit ups are hard, no matter which way you put it; and if you’re doing it on your hardwood floorings, they’re even harder. I did 100 full nose-to-knee situps/crunches last night, but my butt-bone or the end of my spine (whichever one it is) really started to hurt.
I have a yoga mat in the basement I could revive from the dead… Hehe. I’ll fill you all in on how that little adventure turns out.

Okay, so starting is a bit scary. I don’t even know where to begin… Hmmmm… Let’s see, I’m doing this because I’m sick of sucking in my stomach. I have fat… I don’t think much, but I hate it… I’m hoping I can rid myself of it. I have been doing a (non-consistant) nightly regime of 30 crunches, but obviously it has not been enough. I will start my new, tougher program of 50 crunches and pushups a night, and also in the morning, and will tell you how it goes tomorrow!
