Gut Busters: Trying to shrink my beer gut

reducing the beer gut

That's Fit blogger Victor Agreda, Jr. blogs each week through the end of 2006 about his progress to whittle his waist.

Fact is, I don't drink beer that often. Maybe my gut evolved over time from more insidious means: lack of an exercise regimen and bad dietary habits. Whatever the reason, I have one, and I'm ready to shrink the darn thing. So each week I'm going to blog about my progress and what I'm doing to reduce my, uh, protrusion.

This week is all about analysis. I took a quick look at what I've been eating, and it ain't good. I had a lot of fast food the past couple of weeks, and haven't been on the treadmill in longer than I like to admit (so I'll admit, it's been well over a month). As you can see from my frightening "belly pic," I have an upper stomach pooch, and a little hanging flab underneath. Looks to me like I have a twofold issue: weak muscles in the core, and some extra fat. We won't talk about the fuzzy bellybutton -- I have no intention to wax it.

From now until next week I'll be researching methods, and when I find what sounds right to me (and my advisory panel), I'll report on a plan. Let the gut busting begin!
