Kinect Weightloss Challenge

So, I do love my Xbox and its games. This Christmas I got a Kinect for myself and I've been fiddling with it on and off. I've been meaning to use it, intending to exercise with it. Then I spend most of my time forgetting.

My friend Bry (you can find her blog here) is always my source for fitness related jealousy and spurts of motivation (that quickly putter out, mind you). I sent her a list of all the options in Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, all training sessions, all the classes, everything except the silly games. Based on what they targeted and how they worked, she came up with a fitness calender.

I will be working on upper body Monday, Cardio Tuesday, Full body Toning on Wednesday, Yoga on Thursday, Legs on Friday and more Cardio on Saturday with Sunday being my rest/easy exercise day.

Pretty awesome, huh? No more willy-clicking things. Also, Kinect can't tell me that the workout is for people who just had a baby, or men only. Screw it, I'm doing it all. Tony Horton doesn't have a P90x for men only or women only.

So, here we are at Day 1. Unfortunately, today is Mardi Gras and I have Pazcki's to nom. So, my diet isn't very healthy. But, who cares. It's not like I get donut flavored goodness all the time!

I redid my fitness test, since the first time I did it it only gave me Beginner status. I wasn't comfortable with the Kinect or how it worked at that point in time, now with a little experience under my belt, it put me in Advanced.

After that was -

Michelle Bridges Circuit: Athletic Training- 14 minutes
Michelle Bridges Circuit: Get Into Shape- 14 minutes

I also poked at one of the Bollywood classes. I feel like I need a better outfit with more janglies. 4 minutes.

I'm still 200-199 pounds. Turns out I was 206 before I decided to do that carbless week. Scary. At least I got rid of it. :3
I kindof want to get down to 130. GOALS.
