Muscle Memory?

I seriously thought that getting back into working out after a year of being a slug would be so much easier! I am wondering where my muscle memory is. I hear about it all the time & I'm not feeling it. I thought my body would be so much more grateful for all the good, wonderful things I'm doing for it. But no.....I am in agony today! All I can say is - thank God I already worked out because the minimal walking around I have to do today for work might just be the death of me. We'll see if I can drag this body through another day.

    I've found it's more about quick progression after returning than anything remotely immediate. I've come back after 2 multi-year layoffs, and my strength returned to full in about 3-5 months both times.
