I was literally sidelined today due to the most intense case of DOMS I have ever experienced! Sitting down and getting up is so torturous, it makes me wince and laugh at the same time. I knew I was overdoing it yesterday but I felt like I had to “catch up” for being so lax with my workouts and letting myself slide. I just kept pushing and pushing, fully knowing it was too much for one day.

Well, now it’s backfired because I had to cancel all my training plans today. I walked 3 blocks to the supermarket and that took a lot of effort. I feel like a little old lady today hobbling along – lol. Going to bed early.

By the way, what do YOU want to do with your life?

Good post today. As to what I want to do with my life…my main focus right now at this very moment is to get my body into shape. All my focus is there. For 10 years down the road (what they say you should think about), I want to be where I get from my focus now, and enjoy it…

Great to hear about your DOMS, means you hit ‘em hard! Hope you feel better soon.

Wonderful, wonderful “THINGS” list you have, I look to seeing you cross them off.
DOMS is a good thing.

Severe DOMS is no fun. Yes, you broke down the muscle but not good when it interferes with daily tasks.

What do I want to do with my life…lots of things but need more focus and clarity to get them in motion.

Hi Lilla-Here’s what I want:

I want to figure out what my true purpose or gift is.

I want to find balance in my life.

I want my outside to match how I envision myself to be in my mind.

PS-thanks for the tip on the protein popsicle…I tried it and it was great-thanks!

Gosh all I have on my list is go to the dentist. Thanks, Lilla for all your work and self-revealing posts. I”m not an official shredder but I do my best. I just made a little webpage (my first) to introduce myself to folks whose websites have really inspired me – many thanks,

Lynda,
You are so focused and working hard, I’m certain you are going to reach your goals!

Mike & Dougal,
What, no consoling words for my painful DOMS? Haha – I was looking for a pity party. Where’s the love, people? Just kidding- I know it means good things are happening.

Celina,
I do play guitar but stopped about 6 months ago. I want to start again. My fave style is Spanish/flamenco.

Shari,
NIIICE! Ballet – that’s so cool.

Debbie,
You’re right. The DOMS has kept me from doing cardio for 2 days now. It was too much at once. Lesson learned.

Meredith,
“I want my outside to match how I envision myself to be in my mind.”
Good one – ditto!
Glad you liked the pro-sicles.

Julie,
YAY! Great website!!
Dentist? LOL. Me too.
