Simone and Manda met in college in Ottawa, ON, Canada. While Simone has moved back to her native Trinidad, Manda remains in Canada.

Together they are about to undertake the most difficult 3 months of their entire life together...only...while residing in different countries.

Manda - Day 1 Update

Fuck You Tony Horton, and "Blam" and Dreya and the sexy guy in the back!

Day 1 - Core Synergistics

I have no core. Lets face it. I am core-less. If i were asked to superman/banana to save the life of myself and my family we would all die. Bottom line.

I did not do the bonus round. Not gonna lie to y'all. Didnt do it. Turned the dvd player off. But I will try next week. Do i feel guilty about it? A little. Simone if you did the bonus round i am going to feel like a pussy. That would for sure up my guilty quotient.

Regardless of my inadequacies i am still quite please with myself for coming home and getting right into it. I pushed myself harder today than i did when i was taking the dvds for a test run last week so i felt good about that. For the most part i am doing girly-on-my-knees pushups but hopefully that will change in the coming weeks. All in all a pretty good day.

Super pumped that we are doing this together suhmoeknee. I hope you got as sweaty and winded as i did today.

My goal for tomorrow is to drink more water. Mad amounts of water.

For now i am going to go soak my muscles in a well deserved hot lavender bath and then make a delicious veggie burger.

Peace Out
Manda

Manda - Day 1

Day 1.

I first heard about p90x from Simone a couple months ago. Whenever i signed into msn her name mentioned p90x day whatever it was and i dismissed it the first couple times and then curiosity got the better of me and i went and wikipedia'd (nice use of wikipedia as a verb Manda) it and realized how insane and intense this program was. Simone instantly became my new hero. I didnt start right away as i had an upcoming jaw surgery and would be on a liquid diet for a lengthy period of time.

Fastforward to today. I am on the mend and eating again and have purchased the program and am ready to get at it. As fate would have it i went on msn today for the first time in months and low and behold simone happened to be on as well. We chatted for a bit and decided that we would both start p90x today and chronicle our results as a team!

I dont have Day 1 pictures but will post some tomorrow (or maybe tonight if i can find someone to take them)

I am going to do the "lean" version so that means today is the Core dvd. Not going to be easy.

Good luck Simone! Go team Manoney!
