Week 1: Done!

Jon and I made it through the first week! 1 week of daily exercise and calorie monitoring… only 8 more weeks to go. Tomorrow is the rest day, where I don’t do anything. I’m going to enjoy the crap out of it! There are certain exercises that are hard to do because my tail bone is still sore from snowboarding.

I’m also beginning to question whether or not there’s a double standard around the phrase “I”m on an exercise program” if it comes from a guy, or a girl. For example, if I tell a friend that I’m ‘on a program to be more fit’, the comments I get back are usually about how I’m at a healthy weight and that’s not really necessary. If Jon tells a friend ‘I’m on a program to be more fit’, it’s usually accepted with nods and questions. Our intention is essentially the same: to improve our personal fitness and feel better about our bodies.

My friend Andrew is also on the p90x program. During his midterms, he was quite stressed and apparently ate like 3 pounds of food in a meal. Lol.
