Well, we are thirty days in. I started at 138lbs and I am.. up to 139. Dan started at 162 and is now at 152. Does this seem unfair to anyone else? He gets 2400 calories a day and I get 1800. Recently (starting yesterday, actually) I dropped my calorie limit to 1700.
Here are the measurements for Day 30 for both of us.

I’m really kicking myself for not doing measurements on Day One.

So browsing around the internet tonight, I came across this:
“I’m trying to lose 15 pounds by eating healthier food and exercising. The trouble is that I happen to love fried food. I’m thinking of buying a deep fat fryer to cook vegetables, like tempura, for dinner. Is there such a thing as light oil or is fried food going to be too high in calories to be worthwhile?”
I mean, seriously.. who would possibly think “I’d like to lose weight.. time to go buy a deep fryer!”? Yes, adding vegetables into your diet is a great idea when you are trying to lose weight, especially if you aren’t the kind of person who normally consumes vegetables.. but how can you even begin to delude yourself into thinking that deep fried vegetables are diet food?
On a P90X note — tomorrow is our first thirty days completed. We didn’t take a full set of measurements on Day 1, which I am seriously disappointed about. I’ll post our Day 30 measurements, though, so we can at least compare those with Day 60 and 90 and beyond, or whatnot.

Well, we finally sat down and started doing some painting tonight. The black and red are just blocked in with some base colors at the moment, so ignore those. The only thing even resembling “done” at the moment is the gold. Unfortunately, I think it is looking rather.. rough. And it does NOT photograph well with flash so Dan and I had to spend about forever finding a decent setting to take the picture with sans flash.
Anyway, I’m not sure if this is going to stick or not. I really like the idea of the gold armor with the black cloth and maybe some red accents but.. yeah, don’t know if I can pull it off.
