D.O.M.S

So yesterday I headed back into the wide world of exercise. It was an easy day - I just wanted to do a quick warm up on the bike and work through a rotation on the weights.

Easy. Peasey. Right?

Not exactly. First off, the quick warm up on the bike was brutal. It was the longest 5 minutes at the 3rd level in my life. 5 minutes was all I could handle (maybe this working out thing is not such a good idea...). After the "warm up" I went through a typical upper body workout (shoulders, back, chest, biceps, triceps, etc.). The workout felt awesome! I was feeling like He-Man pushing the weights around.

Today? I need someone to hold the phone to my head. I can barely move my arms from my elbow down. I am trying to figure out what I can eat without having to use my arms.

My Dad suggested that I buy some soup, stick my face in it, blow bubbles and slurp away! That really sounds like the best plan at this point...

Here is my new wish list item:

D.O.M.S - Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness

*Unfortunately tomorrow is probably going to be worse than today! (2nd day of soreness is just a glimpse into what is in store for you the next day)

It begins today (again...)

In about an hour or so I'll be sweating to the oldies! I was hoping to have begun on Tuesday, but a sick 2 year old (whom shall remain nameless) kept me home because she was "sick" - and by sick I mean had a 100.8 temperature at 7:00 AM; had no temperature (well 98.8) and was running me ragged around the house, putting puzzles together, and watching Wiggles/Barney all morning and afternoon.
