OMG DOMS!!!

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) hit me unexpectedly late yesterday afternoon.  I didn't realize I had "over done" it so much to be SO SORE everywhere!!! I actually thought my muscle pains were a result of me getting sick -- shows you how long it's been since I did a REAL workout.

I pushed through it and managed to do the yoga portion of my Denise Austin tape around 8:30 at night.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute.  It was only 20 minutes, and it was disgraceful at best, but I did it - huffing and puffing and falling over (I have NO balance!).  And, I considered my walking around the soccer fields as the remaining 10 minutes (to complete the 30 required).  I hurt - and especially my back -- and I know it's from the darn baby carrier.

And, then, I don't know why, but I stepped on the scale today.  I'm really sore (as stated previously) and probably holding on some inflammation, but it hadn't moved!!!  I'll wait to see what my official weigh in day says before I totally freak.  I know I'm gaining muscle and losing inches, but the scale CANNOT stay where it is if I'm to get back to the preprego size I crave.

Today, is a 30 minutes XT or Long Walk day.  I'm hoping to get on my bike at long last!  Looks like a beautiful day for it.

UPDATE: I'm no doctor, but it's not just a little DOMS I'm dealing with.  I realized when I was getting in the shower that I have Mastitis - an infection of my milk ducts.  It might be from giving BB a few bottles, wearing a tight sports bra or not alternating nursing positions enough.  It hurts! And, chills and a fever are two side affects... not sure what to do about my workout today and I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get to the doctor... To Be Continued...

The new pic is one of the ones from Shelley's photo session.  I think it's beautiful! And, while I love nursing my son (I nursed the girls for 5-6 months each), I think I'll call curtains this time around much sooner.  It's very taxing, and while it's supposed to promote weight loss, it doesn't for me.  My sanity has to come first... and right now, my breasts hurt so bad!!! I'm thinking I'll wean him slowly over the next 3-5 weeks.  He's gotten a lot of good stuff already.
