day 17 -- "this sh*t is bananas" (b-a-n-a-n-a-s)

shaun t wasn't kidding when he uttered this bleeding obvious statement of truth about today's 'pure cardio' workout. its a bit unsettling when mr. insanity himself says he's nervous about the workout. i keep thinking this is going to get easier, but then my girth crushes my delicate ankles during the running/lunging/leaping sequences and i become an injured cow. i did however complete 10 whole jumping jack pushups, although my ass was in the air the whole time and it was more like a downward-facing dog mating dance of sorts.

after suffering through the pure cardio cycle of hell, it was time for everyone's favorite - cardio abs. i feel like someone has been using my uterus as a punching bag. the hunt for the elusive 6 pack continues; its apparently buried in a box of twinkies.

maybe there's an age limit for a 6 pack, like daisy dukes, 3-day music festivals and shotgunning a beer.  perhaps i should give up on defining my abs since they've been squishy for so long. or i could just get one of these:

tomorrow is cardio recovery. i hope it lasts for at least a week.
