30 done. 60 to go.

i've completed my (second) first month of p90x in a new atmosphere, going from 171.5 to 162.6 on the scale in those 30 days. tomorrow starts the beginning of week 5, as the dvds change and we do chest/shoulders/triceps and back/biceps workouts instead of just check/back and shoulders/arms. my ability to eat healthier — not just less fat, but more fruits and vegetables — has really worked to my advantage this time around. having a partner in crime with this thing truly makes all the difference.

eddie's doing great too, down to 183 from 194. the days wear on us, but in the end, it feels great to be getting rid of all the excess fat from college, becoming more agile and athletic at the same time. playing ultimate frisbee, tennis and other outdoor activities is more fun because we can tell we're faster and have much better endurance than before.

we also are recruiting a 5-person team for the detroit free press' marathon on oct. 17. we have 4, and are filling one more spot. if you read this and are interested, comment on here!
