BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS »

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!

karita meets crossfit hands

I have my first set of CrossFit hands, which in layman's terms means I have blisters... 3 of them to be exact! I earned them all by bustin' it out with chin ups in the WOD. Today's workout was 40 chin ups, sit ups, push ups, and squats. All I gotta say is that these workouts aren't for wimps, and I've always thought myself a gym wimp... I'm beginning to like the paaaaiiiinnnn! Yay!

I also started being more aware of what I eat today, with the exception of that homemade caramel apple from the specialty chocolate shop. (Ahem! It's a process, okay...) Anyway, I'm focusing on The Zone, which it what CrossFit promotes as a "zone" between an all carb diet and an all protein diet. The main goal is to regulate insulin and to reduce internal inflammation throughout the body. By doing those 2 things, my body will be able to work out any hormonal issues and be in optimal condition for pregnancy! YAY! That's one of those posted goals of this process... BABIES! Love me some babies! :)

Here's some info on The Zone by Dr. Barry Sears, Ph.D:

Oh! Glad to see Liz posted her first blog... How did that work out go tonight, girl?!?
