Keep Your Calories Low

September 2, 2010

I was waiting in line to order some food.
I was planning on ordering a walnut and avocado salad, when the 9″ pizza menu caught my eye.
The ‘Rustic Veggie Pizza’ sounded really, really good.
So when it was my turn to order I asked the young girl behind the counter:
“How filling is the Pizza”
her response was that she could easily finish one.
I looked over at the guy standing beside her, and he said “Yeah, it’s small, it’s a lunch portion”
So I ordered it.
I wish I took pictures!
I could have easily split this pizza with another person.
Think about that for a second.
It was more than DOUBLE the amount of food I needed.
Easily.
Here’s the plate beside my laptop as a comparison.

Now, sure it was ‘good for me’…
Loaded with veggies, whole wheat crust, no cheese, a great tomato/pesto type sauce….
But overall…it was too much..way too much.
So here’s the point of this post.
Keep your calories low.
That’s […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
