Woke up feeling like I might have caught a bug. Yaaaay

MS, grunt cluster

Think this "bug" is just a horrendous allergy attack.

Short hills? Pure joy ain’t it?

Short hills? Pure joy ain’t it?

Actually it went okay. I'm using the ramp of a parking garage, which I worry isn't as steep as intended (when the books say hills, I picture more like a sand dune). But it's the only thing in town (I'm in Florida) in a place that isn't likely to get me run over or robbed. And I did watch that one YouTube of Jim Madden (I think?) doing Apex Hills on a hill more like mine than something crazy steep. I know the book says not to worry too much about it.

Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U6BDJDshoo

I'd say the slope of my ramp is similar to this (it's shorter, of course, but Short Hills...).

I did them last Sunday too, and then, my breathing stayed pretty reasonable but I could feel my heart pounding very heart (not super fast, but very hard). Didn't really get that yesterday; the worst it got yesterday was that for the last few rounds, I stood at the top and took 3-4 deep breaths before heading back down. Biggest problem from yesterday is that it wrecked the muscles in my lower legs.

Overall, I'm very happy with this round of BB. I'd be happier if I dropped some more weight...

Personally, I find that getting enough calories on board is very important for BB success. I can easily shred fat with black continuation but any green work doesn't do it for me. I need to sit on carbs. I know that some people have completely different experience but that's me.. I can even gain some water weight with BB..

I've been making it a point to eat to fuel what I'm doing, which means minimal weight loss. I know I just want it both ways.
