Determination

Hello DOMS, I have missed you. This is the second worst case of it I have had. I have increased my BCAAs intake, added protein shakes, ice bathing regularly, foam rolling (so painful yet so good), and stretching.

My legs and glutes are still on fire, I can barely move, I sat on my tush and slid down the stairs because laundry must be done. And then I realized I had no plan to get back up the stairs. Two days after legs day, the overflow of soreness has spread to my arms, back, chest…

Yesterday I thought it was fun – I felt like I was me again. A soreness I hadn’t felt since May. But today I feel every missed workout, every ounce of lost muscle, every day I went without eating.

Determination. Friday kicked my butt, it still is, and I don’t like it. The next eight weeks will be hell but I am healthy, focused, calm and determined – a Warrior.
