Que's Journey begins

[que_66]

Sometimes you don't feel the full "pain" of your training for 24 hours or so. I trained legs/glutes on Sunday and I REALLY feel them today. I especiall like when I lay on my stomach and my quads feel like hunks of meat on the bone....sounds strange but when you get there, you'll understand- lol

Pics, pics, pics!!!!!!!

I know I'll be more sore tomorrow than I am today. I remember going through this after my first 20 mile bike ride last summer. The day after was tight and tired, day 2 & 3 I think I could feel the blood actually flowing through them and even that hurt! Thought I was going to have to install one of those handicap bars by the commode.....

Pics will have to wait till I find a digital camera and someone to take the pics for me.

Well my daughter is mad at me again so I don't get to babysit tonite. That means I can take my time at the gym and terrorize the trainer...he's there Tue, Wed & Thur.

Ran into the trainer on my way out:
Me: "Hiya sparky!"
He looked like he had swallowed his tongue but then said
T: "Uh hi how are you?"
Me:I'm just peachy, you?
T: "Uh good you have a great night." ...and off he went.

Hahahahahahahaha

I'm assuming you are taking some magnesium with the calcium or the calcium has magnesium in the supplement. They should be taken at a 2:1 ratio.
Calcium = 1,000mg, then Magnesium 500mg
It's smart to take a combination that includes different forms of the key minerals (such as calcium citrate, carbonate, and malate; and magnesium citrate, aspartate, and glycinate) as insurance that at least one will get absorbed into your system and do its work. To build strong bones it is essential to balance calcium with magnesium which promotes maximum calcium absorption.
I found this on the web:
"Magnesium is a nutrient needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body and is fundamental to a number of important physical processes, including converting carbohydrates and protein into ATP (the body’s energy source), blood clotting, activating B vitamins and relaxing muscles. Magnesium boosts the activity of several enzyme systems needed for neurochemical communication, and is needed to transport electrolytes like potassium and sodium in and out of cells for optimal cell health and functioning. Furthermore, magnesium assists in calcium and potassium absorption. "

I don't know if I caught all the details on this one... I think you were having issues with this young trainer calling you old? Is that the guy?

Calcium/Magnesium issue - I'll check everything and see how much mag I'm getting. I take my calium at night. Thanks bunches for the info.

Trainer: Yes, he's the college student that said I was too old to attain any of my fitness goals. I think he's a little scared of me.

Tonite is "CHEST NITE" at the gym. I know this is a weak area....this is gonna hurt.

My stomach is rumbling & I think mother nature is on her way. (Well if she's going to be bugging me for a few days I hope she doesn't mind the smell of the gym. )
