Weighed myself this morning and have officially lost 100 lbs. Thank You to MikeC for the pep talk, Z and Doug for training motivation and Seawolf for getting me into Paleo/Whole30. You guys helped me get my life back. I am indebted to you all. Thank you to all the other forum members who gave me the pat on the back during the journey (way to many to list). Thanks again!!!

Day 1  - Tabata (late to the party)

While I was doing it I felt fine, and actually thought "is that it?".

As soon as a I finished I felt like dog shit, and half an hour later I still do.

[derivative666]

^that means you did it right. It gets better. Stick with it.

I pretty much heave when I tabata, or at least come close.

Haha yeah. I also get serious headaches for maybe 20-30 minutes after but I am used to that from high volume weight training. Just about the only time I get headaches.

[Finn666]

^ breathing the wrong way can be a cause for that headache mcKleine…jfyi!

mega - Jeff is right. you know that you're doing it right, when you can't do shit at all afterwards!
already looking forward to my 5min workout in a few

[Megatron1505]

I had around 30 minutes of jelly muscle going on afterwards, then after a shower and a sit down I have the whole stiffness thing happening. Looking forward to tomorrow, I actually think it's really good.

[Finn666]

it really is…even better than going for a 30min. run (with constant/normal speed!)...and it burns fat way longer into the day as such a run! so it's a win win situation...done in no time & burning fat way longer!

[mclaincausey]

Running releases more cortisol and not as much beneficial hormone to offset that versus intense intervals. You know, the whole compare a sprinter's to a marathoner's body, etc.

5 min workout, wut??

[Finn666]

@mvb:

5 min workout, wut??

check "tabata" on youtube mate!

[mvb]

Ok i will, don't think CT would agree though

[mclaincausey]

Just had some corn tortilla chips and noticed immediate inflammation. Nose started running, etc, almost an allergic reaction. I really do need to stick to paleo better

My pre-order finally shipped the other day. Really interesting already, $100, for almost nil effort does sleep tracking, walking/steps, heart rate, hills etc. Really great device (so far 2 days in).

Not that it's changed my sleeping patterns but both mornings I've been in deep sleep when I woke up, which will help evolve my patterns…

Looks like a great device. Very similar to my fitbit which I love and use daily.
