Three months ago I joined a gym called Orange Theory and I'm about 90% impressed. I hold back with that last ten percent because I'm not sure if I'm getting the result I was originally going for. I wanted, like so many other people, to lose weight.
I haven't shown great numbers on the scale. For a little while I went down about five or six pounds. More recently, I've gone back up three or so pounds. This was all tracked because right around the time I got into the swing of the gym they announced a weight loss challenge, for a money prize!
I never had the notion I'd win the money, simply because so many people joined the challenge. I only wanted to meet my personal goal: three classes a week, and drop a pounds a week. Attendance is great, but my loss isn't great at all. Should I find peace that the reason behind this odd fluctuation is that I've simple gained muscle?
No. I'm sadly dissatisfied with that reasoning. So where does that leave me? I'm really not sure. I don't want to be jacked. I want to feel healthy and look good. I don't think that's unreasonable.
So where from here? Quit? Save my money and do home workouts? Go more? Some other changes? Ugh I don't know...help me obi-gym fit-nobi!
