A few facts to know about my life to preface this post: 1) I had a baby almost two years ago and although I am dang close to my pre-baby weight, I still haven’t hit yet. 2) I live in Florida where most people spend the months between March and October in very little clothing in an attempt to escape the devastating heat. 3) My two closest friends are a workout fiend and a marathon runner. 4) I am not immune to peer pressure. 5) I like to set goals and meet them…or at least make a valiant effort to meet them.
This is all as an explanation as to why I am about to enter the craziest three months my couch loving body has ever experienced. A few weeks ago I asked the workout fiend friend (Jordan) to help me lose some of these pesky last few pounds and tone up some flabby spots before this year’s bathing suit season hits hard.
Now, I’m not exactly a couch potato. I have a very active toddler, I try to workout on my own at least twice a week and I have made many bodily sacrifices to the Nike Training Club gods in an attempt to receive some workout grace. But I am a huge “misery loves company” kind of person, not to mention I have a competitive streak (more like a line compared to others in my life, but whatever) so I knew that if I really wanted to kick it to the next level I needed to get some help/fellow victims/company. And so Jordan has so lovingly and vindictively crafted what she is calling “The Bikini Bod Workout” for me to stumble, cry and vomit through. You can access it too by letting her know you want to participate. Remember, misery loves company, so join ours!
In the meantime, I plan to chronicle this epic journey here. Our first workout is this Friday, March 1 so check back to see just how dead I really am!
