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

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

The infamous "VURP" vomit/burp
"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

^yes it is very similar. I was looking @ that also, but already havewithing wifi scales (yes, i digitally track my weight daily). Buying into their system makes for a very nice single iphone app that report.
I've been curious about my sleep patterns for years, now i start collecting data :).
-
My sleep patterns aren't patterns. Damn it.

…I've been curious about my sleep patterns for years...
I used to think I was a pretty normal sleeper, but over the years, my wife has convinced me that I'm a chronically sleep deprived insomniac. Perhaps I should take the plunge on a Withings or a Fitbit and see if she's right (like usual).
-
^Similar theme here. I used to think all was normal, I went travelling with a bunch of people, we went to bed and woke up @ the same times, I was utterly fu@ked of a morning and they were all fine.
$100 was/is a small price to get some visibility of sleep, plus all the other verticals it covers are a nice bonus.
The Withings pulse looks like a nicer device and does heart rate monitoring, but it does not vibrate like the fitbit.
Here's my sleep from last night (this has got to be some weird overshare, I'm sure)
