Woke up sore af. Like can’t stretch sore lol. I actually went a bit light on the Friday workout because I knew I’d be carrying a backpack yesterday and walking a lot. Did a few extra machines but kept the weight at 50 (incline pulls, rows etc) and 25-40 on some of my usual ones. Basically I did the last set on my normal machines as if I was already sore and the only way I could do another set was drop the pounds down by 5-10. Since I added a few extra machines I did take off the third set for a couple like the overhead press that pulls at my scar. Anyway my point is that I’m not sure how I could’ve prepared for yesterday’s activity, felt great then and now am so sore. DOMS seems to be hit or miss with me I guess. 🤷♀️ Wonder if I can get a massage from the hubby... since it’s Mother’s Day and all hehe.
My face hurts too though. Bet that’s allergies and the wind from yesterday. Had to buy a $11 beadband thing to keep the wind out of my ears. It was bright blue and said CHEER with rhinestones lol. Turned it inside out so the blue and white chevron was shown instead. Now I just have to keep it in the car for the next spring/summer day when I need it but shouldn’t because it shouldn’t be in the 40’s in May!
This gain is more than likely my normal gain after working out. Last time it had a pattern and if I remember correctly it was 36 hours after my workout that I showed a gain, so two mornings after, and the morning after that I showed a slight drop and by day 4 it was gone.
5+ miles walked yesterday, carrying a backpack up and down small hills and less than 500 kcal extra burned. 🤷♀️ I was hoping for 500-800 but I think I can live with 450. It showed over half an hour of exercise so I must’ve been booking it for awhile there. Probably when we were running late to get to the awards. Also could’ve been the bumper cars. Not sure if it would’ve mistaken that as working out. Probably because I’m sure I could’ve outrun those cars lol. And I’m not a runner. Plus the bumping each other might been read as lifting or something. Not gonna try and figure it out because for once I just don’t care and can easily accept that it’s just that way and I’m good. :). The 121.6 doesn’t even bother me nor the cookie the kids fed me earlier lol. I told them I felt bad and wanted to share the others as it’s more fun to eat cookies together. WHEW! Had 90 kcal rather than 270-360. Now I don’t feel at all guilty for my midnight snack hehe.

Hope you feel better tomorrow. Get that massage!!!!! All my joints, inner thighs, and biceps are sore so I’m trying to stretch them out.

Ty LZ. Hope you feel better Dawn! We ran out of time so no massage. My teenager wanted her hair cut so... we wacked off several inches. 😭😭. Hair almost down to her butt and now it’s maybe 3” below her shoulder. She wanted shoulder or shorter. I made a deal with her that I’d do it like this and if she didn’t like it then I’d cut it again after school is out. Thank goodness she wants a straight cut because I can’t do anything else lol. Well some small layers just so the ends look textured but that and bangs are it. If I’m honest I can probably do layers since I’ve seen it done on myself so many times but I don’t want to mess up her hair lol. I’ll ask for a massage later this week if I’m still hurting. As of now my back ache has moved up to between the shoulder blades and now up to the neck so I have a constant headache. Behind the eyes from glasses, back of my head where the pony tail sits and lower skull from the back ache. Didn’t know I could hurt in three different places on my head! Took the pony out so that will feel better soon. Gonna down some Advil later so maybe the backache headache will be gone. Sleep will get rid of the eye pain.

@chris, that doesn’t sound good. Is that good? The water/weight doesn’t bother me but the deep tissue stuff you just said makes me wonder. Tomorrow is our heavy day. All workout days are heavy days though unless I have something the next day. Tues is track and field day so I’ll decide tomorrow if I truly want heavy weights or lower them but I’m betting heavy. I’ll just do some walking for the track day and nothing strenuous so heavy weights should be fine. Maybe my walking will work out the stuff muscles.

Ok so bad for soreness but good for muscles then. I did a few machines at 2 sets of 15 rather than 3@10 to save some time. Some I lowered weights. Probably the combination of it. 🤷♀️It’ll feel better tomorrow or it won’t. I may be crying at the gym tomorrow haha.

What are some good work outs to do at home?

@Miss Bee: when we're stuck at home and can't get to the gym, we do squats, calf raises, push-ups, and plank. if we're feeling especially ambitious, we'll throw in some bicycle kicks --- we aren't that ambitious often lol.
of course, I don't know your fitness level. if you're not where you can do squats without knee pain or if you can't do push-ups, you'd want to go with incline push-ups and either chair sits (just sit in a chair and then stand back up) or skip the squat motion altogether until you can.

Personally I like squats. I have 5&8# weights that I hold while doing them. I also do my version of a row, curls etc. Form probably isn’t the best but I try to imitate what I do in the machines at the gym. I like laying on my back, holding my legs in the air while keeping my abs tight and using the dumbbells as a sort of bench press move (push them up, hold, lower back to chest) or I keep on the floor at my sides, lift to the sky, bend elbows and bring them back down u til elbows touch the floor at my sides, back up then straighten arms and being back to the floor.
