karita dances with the stars

Well, I thought the New Year would give me the "fresh start, new motivation" kick in the pants to get back into working out, but I have discovered that I have to bring my own motivation. In the last month, Bobby has asked, bribed, conjoled, and threatened me to go to the gym... Obviously, it hasn't worked. So, I am on a quest to kick the lazy bones right outta my body. Actually, my chiropractor is on a quest to help me kick the lazy bones outta my body. At our last chiro appointment, Bobby ratted me out to her that I wasn't working out, so she gave me an ultimatum... I have to work out 8 times between my last appt and my next appt or no more of my favorite torture treatment. So, I'm baaaa-ck! I took a walk over the weekend and then tonight, I broke out my "Dancing with the Stars" cardio DVD! The DVD consists of a full body warm up, a choice of 4 dances, the Cha Cha, the Paso Doble, the Samba, or the Jive, then a full body cool down.Whew, it is way harder than you think it's gonna be. Those instructors are pretty hard drivers... Every time I slacked off even just a little, one of them would holler at me, "Lift up your chin," "Tighten your butt," "Push your pelvis out!" I wanted to smack 'em! It certainly works your abs and your hips, and your legs, and your arms... okay, it works your whole body! I felt like a spastic dingbat trying to do some of the Paso Doble moves. All I have to say is that it was a good thing that my living room blinds were closed because I just might have caused the first "laughed to death" death recorded in Wake County history! Ha Ha Ha! I have to admit, though, it felt great to stretch and move my muscles, even if it was spaztastic! I think I might just do the Cha-Cha next time! :)

Also, an update on Liz... she's been working out and is even thinking of getting that INSANITY DVD set shown on TV... She is CraZy, pun intended! :)
