Is the daughter back?

Nope, I had to drive to her dad's house to see the baby.

He and I had a chat about all the bs she's been dishin out.

I've decided that if there is no way for me to be "Mom of the year" then I want to be the "Evil Ubber B*tch-Momster of the Year."

 

[que_66]

I got interrupted last nite and didn't get to eat my 1 tbsp of evil butter and when I got to work this morning I realized that I didn't eat my afternoon snack of 2 egg whites yesterday. So here are my adjusted totals for Thursday 04/06/06:

Target Calorie range: 1580 - 1896
Target Protein range: 158 - 237

Totals for today:
Fat: 24%, Carbs: 30%, Protein: 46%
Calories: 1610, Fat (g): 41, Carbs (g): 124, Protein (g): 179

***I weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 157 again***



Serious question:

When I work out I try to use the heaviest weight that I can correctly manage for the # of set/reps that I'm supposed to be doing and I try to push to the point of failure without causing injury. My muscles are usually tight & tired for a day or two after the workout.

--To me tight & tired means I can feel the muscle(s) that I worked, they're tight, tired and some people would call that "a little sore" but it doesn't really impact my day to day life.
--To me hurting & sore means that I can barely move/use the muscle(s) that I worked and it makes it difficult to function normally.

If I'm doing things correctly and not pushing too hard, What's the general or average number of days that my muscles should be tight & tired but not hurting & sore?

"When I work out I try to use the heaviest weight that I can correctly manage for the # of set/reps that I'm supposed to be doing and I try to push to the point of failure without causing injury. "


^^^ YES

Soreness, and the like.... That is completely dependant on the individual... after about a month, this things you described above, for me, went more unnoticable ... and more of I "awww I can feel i got a w/o " feeling as opposed to "I felt like I got rode by a bull after that leg workout ..."

Give it time... drink fluids, maybe G & C w/ MSM, other types of therapies

Are you familiar with DOMS?

Domination of the Male Sex?

Ok, ok so I made that up. I don't believe I've heard of DOMS

I did a search & "Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness" and yes I'm familiar with it but I didn't recognize the acronym. Yes, I'm a dumba$$.

I'm off to the gym for bi's/tri's
