Something to ‘tide you over’

July 12, 2011

Fun story for you today:
Today at lunch time (around 2 pm) I was thinking out-load about what I was going to have for lunch.
…truthfully I was whining about my inability to make a decision
When I realized that I was taking the family out for dinner at 5, I decided to just grab a coffee.
To which a friend responded “Well, you should at least get a muffin to tide you over”
Here’s the interesting thing:
My ‘usual’ at Tim Horton’s (Coffee shop in Canada) is their Turkey Bacon Sandwich, listed on their website as having 37o Calories. For sake of argument we’ll round up to 400.
Now, here’s a list of some of their muffins:

Banana Nut Muffin: 400
Blueberry Muffin: 350
Chocolate Chip Muffin: 400

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.
