Day 15: Our Island Journey to "Jacked-ness" (J)

----------------------------------------

(On the top of our current armoire.)

Please allow us our healthy-sized vanity for a moment.  One of our main objectives during these 99 days is to become, for lack of a better word, "jacked."  For those of you unfamiliar with our usage of the term, Urban Dictionary Online, the most hallowed of secondary sources, defines "jacked" as follows:  "Adjective. Someone who is very strong and has huge, very defined muscles; girls love them, too." Now, while Matt is relatively fit and wants to get bigger, and I am relatively big and want to get more fit (we said relatively, smart-asses!!), we would both like to get to the same point: be as huge and as ripped as possible.  Although we would certainly appreciate the health benefits that would surely accompany such an endeavor, we're basically just doing it to look better.
----------------------------------------

To that end, we spent the majority of the day working out in some fashion.  We did the following in nearly uninterrupted succession:  1. We took the long way to the bus stop to get a good warm-up.  2.  Did a ton of chest and some shoulder work at the gym for a couple of hours.  3. Played a one-on-one game of basketball for 30 minutes for cardio.  4.  Took a 15 minute walk to the nearby beach and did laps in the crystal clear ocean.  5. Finally, we stopped by the nearby Jiu-Jitsu / Kickboxing place to set up our intro class for this weekend.  If my already uncontrollably shaking body parts give any indication, we probably won't be able to workout again for a few days.  But, it was a strong start.

In an effort to further document our "journey to jacked-ness,"  we have provided the following "before" pictures as a gift to our blog followers.  Actually, let's be real-- it is our gift to the entire world.  All of you unrelated females and switch-hitting males, please enjoy.  For size comparison's sake, we have also posted the picture of a kitten.  Yes, little kitten, I would be frightened, as well.  (Note: these pictures are to perfect scale.)   (John)
