Florida, Natures Steam Room

I spent about 9 days in Florida, and it was nice to go back home for a bit.  I haven't been back in about 4 years, and I haven't been back to Ft.Lauderdale in closer to 6 years.  I ran into some old friends, helped my childhood best friend with her new wedding plans (Excited to be your bridesmaid Jenna!!) and walked along the beach with my mother twice a day for the entire trip.

Level one

So Jackie stopped by my desk today with all of the goodies that I need to get Fit, and I did my weigh-in.  The weight-off starts now!  I choked down my nasty health filled oatmeal breakfast, set up the Xbox, and Wii, strapped on my FitBit, and am now choking on steamed veggies and brown rice (I think I am the only vegetarian in the world who is allergic to veggies) maybe if the food tastes like poo I will eat less!  PORTION CONTROL!

One of my co-workers was pwned by me in XBox Kinnect Sports.... what we did not know, is it actually video tapes you playing with one another!  EMBARRASSING to say the least, when we get it setup on XBox Live, I will post some of the best.  I also got my first battle scar when I kicked a chair playing soccer, it was funny, but hurt.

I am also checking out a few iPhone and iPad apps to help track the weightloss and help train when I travel and on the weekends.  I cannot really review any quite yet since I do not have any results, but I am fond of abworkout free, C25k and GetinShape.

I weighed in, and am not pleased with the results.  I lost approx 10 lbs before we started the combination so it scares me that I was that out of shape from my petite 115lb frame I had in college (My license says I am 110, so we will go with that!).   I can do this though, and I know I will look super cute by the end of summer, just in time to freeze to death without a winter fat layer.

Lets get this powered on!

I am getting my last min details done for the fit off! Here are the details on my personal rules.  Both of us must stick to two completely different weight loss techniques.  Tejal will be using the "Old School" approach, nothing that plugs in, nothing (except a pedometer for a step off) that requires batteries.

I am stuck to a more MODERN approach!  I am to use ONLY technology to lose weight.  I am to use, but am not limited to, XBox Kinnect, Wiii, iPad/iPhone apps, FitBit, ect.  My trainer is actually located 2000 miles away in Miami and I am not to jog outside.  I am to log at least 10,000 steps a day, and keep my calories to approx 1200.

Red Bull employees (field and HQ) can compete against me and my high scores that will be on my XBox, Wii, and online!  I will post my best scores here if you want to comment yours!

Hopefully after this is over and done, and I am all hot and the most desired girl in Los Angeles, the Robots will find me valuable when they take over the world and they will keep me alive for troubleshooting purposes!
