Just to add to today's exercise, I did ab ripper in the afternoon.

Seriously, well done for getting through to the end. This looks like a pretty unpleasant program, which normally means it should work. What is your assessment? Are you where you want to be?

Oh, is that why you've been encouraging me? You should've told me; I would've tried harder. Heheh...kidding. Seriously, I did intend to take and post my hopeful-end-result rippedilicious body, but as I explained in my reply in post #188, I slacked off too much. I skipped too many exercise days to maintain my muscles, and I ate too much and too unhealthy towards the end of the program, which caused me to gain my weight and fat back. So, to answer your question, I am not where I want to be. But it's alright. I am stronger although not as strong as I could be. I am happy to reach the end, and I will move on to something else. It's not a bad program. I didn't reach my goals because I didn't follow it correctly.

So I was saying that you should be as toned and muscular by now to the same extent that a catnip mouse would be ripped to pieces after two years.

I'm pretty sure there is a similar expression in Vietnamese. Almost certainly sure.

I understand the term "ripped." I've always thought the word "catnip" means catnip mouse. Thanks for your explanation. I thought you compared the catnip mouse to a tight muscle. As for a similar expression in Vietnamese, uh...I don't think there is one.
