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 broke the cycle

YAY! I finally dragged myself back to the gym! It's been about 3 weeks since the rigor mortis arm debacle and I have to admit, I have been a little chicken girl! Something about not being able to MOVE YOUR ARMS for a week was probably the cause for my reluctance! After a few days of Bobby's conjoling and a few more days of his frustrated threats, I made sure to pack my gym bag and start back on my journey to the land of skinny, (again).
Here's my WOD: Row 1000m for time, (5:27 m) then 3 rounds of back extensions and these hanging situp things. I never thought I'd say this, but sit ups are actually not a dread for me anymore... I can bust through that pain and just get 'em done without feeling like I'm gonna die! And the added benefit of hanging upside down, well, really just at an incline, was kinda fun! Shhhhh, don't tell anybody that, though! Also never thought I'd see the day when I thought "just situps" was an easy workout. Man, has my world changed. Bobby informed me on the way to the gym last night that we need to start working on our "O lifts," which in layman's terms means Olympic style weight lifting... Now, that kinda scared me! However, if I can make it through 40 chin ups and then the resulting temporary arm lossage, I should be able to learn how to lift a daggone bar with weight on it!

PS... So far so good on sticking to the ZONE plan! Most days are right on track!

Good job partner! I do have to admit that my working out has been pretty consistent, but the eating part not so much. I'm really gonna buckle down after the first of the year though. Hardcore... no sugars or bad carbs. Gotta get that bikini body!!!
