Presenting the Babes:

Hi! We're Karita and Liz! We're just 2 cool chicks embarking on a journey back to the Land of Skinny. We're busty babes and we're ready for next summer's bikinis! We're also family, with the same blood, the same nose and husbands whose names are both "Bobby."

This blog was created as a way to help each other reach our goals to become unfat! It'll allow some virtual butt kicking since we live several states away from each other... we're both fairly short and our legs just won't reach from NC to GA and back!

FM, You must die!

Well, I've been really good this week but also really bad. Kinda confusing, right? Tell me about it... I'm the one living in this brain! Some days, I have been really focused on killing the fatness monster by working out and eating rationally and other days, I have frolicked with his cohorts, Reece's Peanut Butter Eggs and gorgonzola ravioli! What a dual nature I have! Anyway, my exciting plan for Friday night is to hit the elliptical and then the pool. Do you think the fatness monster can swim?!? I HOPE NOT! Maybe he'll drown and leave me alone!
The reason for this renewed hatred of that dasterdly monster is sad, but true... I can no longer fit into my skinny jeans!!! Ya know, the jeans that I tried on multiple times because I kept needing a smaller size?!? It makes me mad, like, REALLY mad! It's worse to lose some weight, be so proud of yourself, feel accomplished, buy some new clothes in sizes 2 times smaller and then, because you are a dingbat, not be able to fit them anymore! Argh! Ugh! Blah! {Screams} That is all I have to say!

I think my Sat & Sun will include some working out, as well! Maybe the fatness monster will be scared and run away... In fact, that is my goal for this weekend!

DEATH TO THE FATNESS MONSTER!

karita sits up & walks

So for the last couple of mandated workouts, I had to fit 'em in where ever I could... I was NOT missing my gua sha treatment!!! On Sunday, BL & I decided to do a triplet. A triplet is where u decide on 3 CrossFit movements combined to make a workout. We initially designed a CF style workout with 3 rounds of situps, push ups, and dips using our parellettes... Yeah, um, that didn't happen for me!!! My first attempt using the parellettes was kinda funny, the second one hurt! When u fall two times in a row straight on your bum from about 10-12 inches in the air, you pretty much decide NOT to proceed with that exercise! So, once again, I scaled an exercise to something I could do... I kept the situps and push ups to punish myself and then, cuz I was mad I couldn't do the parellettes, I threw squats in there, too! 3 rounds of 75 reps total, however I wanted to break it up! I will say I was proud to finish in about 15 minutes! I also had a little extra incentive... Sadie planted herself at my feet, so she got a whole lotta tummy rubbin' whenever I came up for my situp!
My last workout was pretty simple, a very brisk walk with BL and the Beag on my lunch hour!
I am happy to report that I did get my favorite torture treatment and have been threatened by DrB to do another 8 workouts... Here we go again! :)
