Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday 7/21/17

I adore Hand & Foot, but haven't played in years!

TGIF! Looking forward to a weekend with no plans except my Orange Theory classes - to which I am addicted. Will be cooking this weekend for meals over the next 2 weeks, which will be pork carnitas and stewed chicken. I love how simple my diet is now! Hope I feel that way in the months to come.

B: 1/2 protein bar and NF latte

L: Grilled chicken on small bed of spinach

D: More grilled chicken/black beans/pinto beans/cheese

S: Greek yogurt/handful of blueberries; other 1/2 of protein bar

I've been thinking about trying out Orange Theory. Sounds like you like it. Are they good about starting you out slow? I've really only been walking since surgery and it's past time to kick it up a notch.

Yes, I think that is what makes it so appealing. The classes I go to have top shape athletes to 80 year olds. I started out with just a little weight and walking slow and never felt out of place or judged. In addition, the coaches are really good about correcting form. I have NEVER in my life looked forward to exercising, but I do now. I also come out of the classes feeling like I could run a marathon, even though I am soaked with sweat. I don't know what it is about their workouts but I have a TON of energy when I leave. They will let you try a class for free and are really good about walking you through and they will check on you often to make sure you are doing okay. My first time there one of the exercises was burpees and I sat on the bench and watched. The coach came over and said - um, what are you doing? I said, I'd be lucky to just get down in the starting position. He said, well, let's start with that then. Now, I know this has never been put in writing before, I lOVE burpees. Obviously, I highly recommend it. It is pricey, but well worth it.

I don't have a lot planned for this weekend other then some cleaning and swim time. It's been kinda rainy here this morning. I did have to go for my second knee injection today though.

B: protein shake

L: 3.5 oz turkey with Greek cream cheese

D: 1 cup white chicken chili

E: none- not allowed to workout on my knee injection days. Ortho doc wants me to ice it and elevate.
