I managed to push myself on my first work out back and set myself back a week with DOMS. Ever have it so bad that your muscles all feel bruised and hurt when people touch you? Just now getting to the point I can walk with out pain.
Yes. I have and I hate it. I may be doing to myself again tonight too, but I am going to try to stretch enough to avoid it.
I am getting back to it myself. Only this time starting light and slowly. The weight will come later. I just need to not hurt myself again.
My gym decorates to the ceiling (almost literally) with poinsettias from Thanksgiving to Epiphany. This will be my first time back in a long time.0 -
I decided to do Barre class instead of lifting heavy last night. We use hand weights and it was a good workout, but I am not dying this morning.2

Once again, I have nothing to do at work today. Sigh.2

I am in the same boat there with you. Work days where I don't have anything scheduled are hard. I try not to fall asleep.2 -
Good girl! I got back in the pool today after having a 4 month break. I have a ways to go to get back to where I was.
I am half scared to start lifting at the moment. I am the biggest I have ever been and putting the bar behind my head for squats is difficult. Too much back fat. Looks like I get to use dumbells until I can get my shoulder blades closer together. I am considering going to my gym and using the pool there. Maybe swimming will help me along. I float really well right now!

Confession:
My microwave died. You don't realize how much you use your microwave until you can't. :grumble:
I live right next door to my parents who are currently snowbirding in Yuma, AZ. So, last night, I took my leftover pulled pork over to their house to warm it up in their microwave. While I was waiting for the pork to warm up, I checked their freezer. Tillamook Salted Caramel Hazelnut ice cream. I may have taken a spoon and dug out all the salted caramel and ate it. (There was only about two servings left in the container.)
And I didn't log it.2 -

Swimming is a serious workout! I get winded after just a couple laps.0 -

Me too! I found I kept splashing when I kick my legs because I'm floating too high. I was supposed to swim today, but yesterday I came down with my second cold of 2018. That's right, my second one in 10 days. I got rid of the first one last Friday, and came down with another one yesterday.

I've had three colds in six weeks, too. So done with being sick! :sick:3 -

Ditto. My microwave died in November and I went straight to the store for a new one.1 -

I would have, but they're going to repair it for free. So I have to wait for the repairman. He should be coming today, I think.1 -

Hey, @JessicaMcB! Long time, no see (in this thread, anyway).0 -

Me: is there no coffee in the supply closet?
Jane Doe: I don't know. I didn't look.
Me: (goes to closet, brings back coffee, dumps in drawer) Problem solved.
Seriously? You're an adult. You have children. And you can't open a closet door to see if there's coffee in it?
OMG! That's so redonculous! I would have been so melodramatic about the stupidity.0 -

Hey, @Lois_1988, I heard an English saying and I wanted to see if you knew it. "Teaching your grandma to suck eggs." Is that a common saying?
Yes it is. It means telling someone something they're already an expert in, as though you know better (when you don't). An example is my dad who likes to question or correct my mother's French. My mother is French. My dad isn't, and doesn't even speak it very well to say they've been married for 37 years!
So grandma's are expert egg suckers?!
@MoHousdon yay you're back!1 -

Confession:
I keep the calories on my diary high (1930) (close to my TDEE) so I don't go over that often. I'm not gaining weight and I've stayed static (within a couple pounds) for months, a year maybe(?). Maybe I'm in maintenance now. I'm worried about changing anything because I don't want MFP to freak out and mess up all my macros. Which don't really matter because I haven't been hitting them anyway.
I've been on here for 4 years. You'd think I'd be further along than I am and slightly know what I'm doing.2 -

I think I first logged in in 2012, and yeah. I should totally have my kittens sorted out more by now. LOL1 -

I'm always reading like a creeper, the only thing I can keep up with posting on consistently is the running challenge thread though haha.
@MoHousdon When I went back on race cut I felt the same re: *kitten* my *kitten* macros. Do you still want to cut much more?
My only real confession of late is that I am terrible at Instagram, like sweet baby Jesus save me lol, but I need to figure that out if I want to get in on any of the ambassador programs
. Ahhh to be social media inferior 0 -

If I expected you to have it sorted out after four years, then I would have to have to have sorted out after four years which I don't.1 -
Today I am really *kitten* determined to ignore the urge to binge tonight. I'll write instead and eventually that will be my better habit. (I've been writing at least 500 words every day as a new year's resolution).3
