Orange Theory Review and Thoughts


I was actually really excited to add something new to my routine. I stopped doing yoga after my fav instructor stopped teaching and couldn't find someone as good as her. I got a text from the class instructor that morning of and I was told to go in half an hour before the class time. The people there walked me through their facility after I filled out my paper work. They also made sure to teach me how to use their machines before the class started. I was also given a fitness watch to monitor my heart rate and etc, and there was a tv in the room to show you everyone's current status. It was synced with everyone's band. It was very helpful because I was able to tell when I was working hard and when to push myself a little bit to hit the fat burning zone. It was half floor work and half machine. The instructor was friendly and overall I felt like I had a good workout. I will definitely give it another shot before deciding if I want to add this into my overall fitness routine. I wonder how they sanitize the fitness band after people use it lol... because it is the fabric kind of strap. Your results are automatically emailed to you after the class ends.

Back to EATING CLEAN

 Trying to be more fit and lose a few lbs.


 Some of my fav JERKY! EPIC! I normally grab these or whole foods brand jerky. The flavor is not as intense as PERKY JERKY, but I like it that way.
Perky Jerky had a lot of flavors but too much sodium. I didn't LOVE it or like it. 

I think dieting is not about starving yourself completely. It is a combination of..
1.) Preparing well portioned meals
2.) Balanced diet based on your needs
3.) Suppress your cravings with healthier options (For example, I will eat a few blueberries if I want something sweet)
4.) Maintaining your healthy life style and it is a change you make for the rest of your life
5.) Renewing your goal and setting realistic goal
6.) Exercising is a must whether it is light or high intensity cardio and weights
7.) Read "correct" information on nutritional value and food from CITED sources
8.) Love yourself and be proud of yourself for every step you take to become healthier
