Not So Crunchless Abs and 10 Minute Torture...I mean, Trainer!

I hate ab work. I just can't do ab work. Either my neck starts hurting, my back starts hurting, or my damn ab "muscles" (ha!) start locking up, like a charley horse. So in my quest for abs (or something close to it), I picked up a DVD at Book Off called "Crunchless Abs". It was used, but at $7 (price of a plate lunch), I figure that's a small price to pay for the possibility of nice abs.

So I got up this morning to do Workout #1 of the DVD of supposedly crunchless abs. Twice during the workout you did something like a crunch...not so crunchless after all! I was sweating like crazy, but probably because it was hot. Then I realized that it was almost 6 a.m., so I had to hurry with the crunchless abs. I'm curious about Workout #2, which I see in the picture on the back of the box that they are on the floor with a towel...and it looks like they are doing something...ummm....crunchy!! :P

Ahhhh...the abs of my friend from grade school:

Dunno if I could date someone whose abs are nicer than mine...LOL!

Other than that today was a blah day at work. I didn't even walk around the office at lunch, nor did I walk into town to catch the bus to dialysis. Someone brought some chocolate and peanut butter mochi from Maui, I heard someone go, "MMM this is good!" So I got up to go look at it. There were 2 left; each the diameter of a Stridex face pad (i.e, huge!). I've never seen mochi that huge in awhile. Then I looked up the average caloric value of a piece of mochi and I said to myself, "Mmmm...interesting." and I walked back to my desk to do more maps. Hahahaha! Yeah I know, too crazy with the calorie counting but you're kind of forced to do it w/ the Bodybugg entries. As they say, calories in, calories out.

I did go to Costco to buy more Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal, more chicken salad, and House, M.D. Season 5. Yeah, I know, I don't need to be spending money, but I'm almost done watching The Sopranos set that my bro bought me for my bday, so I'll need something new to keep me occupied when that's done. (Hey, didn't you just buy Lost Season 4 at that Garage Sale last week? Yeah, yeah I know!).

Decided to finally try out the Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer DVD that I got at that community center swap meet a few weeks back (Hey GJsmommy, you should see AMR now, it's so nice w/ the new homes). Only $10 complete (I don't think she even watched it because the bands are still unopened and everything still sealed, still in the Beachbody shipping box), a steal considering the informercial price is over $80 plus shipping.

Horton is the same guy who does the P90x commercials. I decided to just do 10 minutes of the Lower Body workout. I did a lot of squats, lunges and even this one where you swing on leg like a pendulum while balancing on the other leg (supposed to work your core). Boy was it torture! I was sweating like crazy...and it was only 10 minutes! I'll get up to do this again tomorrow, for sure!

Afterwards I was so energized that I played some Wii Sports Resort. The enemies are getting a lot tougher now in Swordplay, and I got my @$$ whupped in Table Tennis (a.k.a. ping pong). I find myself cursing a lot when I play this particular disc...a lot of "Damn you, just knock off the platform damn you!", "OOOOH in your face, bitch!" and "Beat...you...DOWWWWN!!" I know, I gotta stop cursing so damn much. Then again, it is Wii "Sports". :) Hehehe!
